Hmm my opinion about this.. I think I get drawed along with all the negative respondes from people. They all have some good ancels to see this from.. And all the Negative responds on facepunch aswell.. I dont know.. I think like MrP said. If you have good and enjoyable server, then you dont need ads.

But dont get me wrong here. I know why you did releash this. I see what you want to go with this... But i just think I will skip.

Bumping because relevant.

Firstly, I'm going to go out and say that our servers for Garry's Mod use Pinion, because of the fact that it generates us extra revenue. We have enough players to justify it anyhow, and the players themselves state that they aren't bothered by the ads, and if they are, they don't hesitate to nicely tell us so we can do something about it. This shows that, even though we have ads, we have a nice and understanding userbase. Pinion can't pay for the server itself, but it goes alongside the donations we get that allow us to extend the life of the servers or make new ones. We explicitly tell the users this, and tell them that if they're bothered by the ads and we can't solve it, they can always donate to just get rid of the ads. We even told our users that if we say a larger amount of donations, we will discuss getting rid of the ads. We're not holding them hostage like that, no. It's a compromise that they don't need to take part it. bender180, I believe this disproves you, given that our TTT server is full every night.

Secondly, this thread is to discuss what could either A. be made better about the plugin, or B. give constructive criticism on it or say how you like it. Explicitly telling them that you hate the concept of something you're not being forced to use is both immature and pointless. It's even worse when you go out of your way to insult the coder and the servers that run it. No one cares if you don't like servers that run the plugin, unfortunately, since the base concept is all there is to it.

Anyhow, I don't exactly like having ads on the server either, but it gets us revenue that we can save up and get rid of it eventually.

Rhapsody, though personal attacks towards the author/business owner by others here, admittedly, are over the top, stating one's opinion of how much one might dislike it (with a passion, in my own case) does not make one immature.
It seems very much to me that the original release post was written as a straight advertisement, not a, in your words, " thread is to discuss what could either A. be made better about the plugin, or B. give constructive criticism". Though most other release threads do seem written the way you describe, this one smells of straight up 'sell-out'.

We've allowed this release to stay for now, even with seemingly most of our community being in disagreement with its purpose.
As a compromise to our community, like your servers 'donate or watch ads', we allow our community members to remain open about their feelings towards it, as long they keep discussion clean enough that any age family member could read it - that compromise includes negative discussion about it.

Personally, I'm offended that of all the ways for this 2 month old sleeping release thread to be woken up, positively or negatively, it was done by a first time registered community member making their first post.
I like to welcome new members, and, really, I do welcome you, but, I have to be honest, it's with a slightly sour taste in my mouth as I keep hoping this release thread will fade to the back pages.
