Look Arthur... Pinion should not be on GMOD.
Allow me to reason here.
Lets compare some details of GMOD to details of TF2.
In GMOD, we pay about $20 to get GMOD (guys, correct me on prices if you feel the need), and an extra $20 for base content (unless we feel like pirating CSS content, like most people who have recently been GBanned by Garry Newman).
Now, I would understand being locked at a MOTD for 30 seconds to ensure that I have read a list of rules, instructions, and penalties for breaking the rules. That would just be server administrators attempting to ensure people do not have an excuse for breaking the rules.
However, being locked at the MOTD to watch an AD is annoying. I did a poll among 100 players from random servers.
73% said that they would stop playing on their favorite server if they were forced to watch a 30 second advert when they connect.
25% said they would seriously consider talking to their server owner about removing it.
2% went offline as soon as I had mentioned Pinion being on GMOD.
Now this plugin is understandable on TF2.
Tf2 is free to play. I would expect that kind of to happen on free to play.
Tf2 is full of snotty kids that would just spam the continue button anyway.
Anyway, my time is too precious to continue explaining why Pinion should NEVER be on GMOD. EVER.
So i would simply like to add that you should STFU and GTFO cease and desist immediately.
EDIT: Oh yeah, keep in mind GMOD server hosting, well for me, a 32 slot gmod server, non branded hosted in central US with 100 mb/s anti-ddos, costs me $25.50 a month. In australia, the same deal costs an average of $110 a month (I'm not kidding... gmod hosting in australia must use <censor> diamond engraved server racks)
So keeping that in mind, 32 slots, lets say you have 32 new connections every hour for a month. Average 30 days in a month, 24 hours in a day, 32 x 24 = 768. 768 x 30 = 23040
23,040 impressions. At a rate of $2.20 per 1000, thats 23040 / 1000 = 23.04 x 2.2 = 50.688.
For a completely impossible scenario such as that where you have 32 players on your server at all times, with 32 fresh connections on the hour every hour, you are looking at $50.69 USD. That falls short of the money I fork out for a website and 32 slot GMOD server. And thats assuming i can keep my server full and players reconnecting every hour to watch a full advert.
An impossible scenario, with a ridiculously small reward for achieving the impossible.
Conclusion: Pinion does NOT at all pay for your server. And in a real world scenario, you'd be lucky to get $5 out of these guys. What's that, a cup of coffee? Hey, well done, you managed to get over 2000 people to connect in a month... here have a coffee! Please....
Increase your payouts, maybe you'd have a chance. $2.20 per 1000 may work on TF2, where 10yr old prebs get buttmad that they cant beat a sniper with a huntsman while they are rage heavyhacking, and decide to leave, then come back every 5 minutes to see if the guy that beat them has left, however here on GMOD, if someone is buttmad about something, and they were in the wrong, usually, an admin bans them so fast and hard up the arse that they dont come back for... like... EVER...
