Yes. Ads on superfuntime.org are an abomination and I want them gone

I honestly don't care. I'm fine either way

Please disable your ad blocker on our website to support us!

I've decided to add two (at the moment there's just one) non-intrusive advertisements on the bottom left part of the website.  As opposed to last time, I pre-approve all ads now so there won't be any that there normally shouldn't. We are using Project Wonderful for the ads, and users can bid on the ad spaces (duration =24h so the amount you see below is 24h).

I don't think we'll make a lot of money (I'm estimating ~60bucks / month?!), but the money we earn will be used primarily to cover the costs of advertising (we use the money we get from advertising to advertise our website) and if it's more than we expected, It will go towards paying the bills as well.

Key facts to remember (in case you wish to bid yourself):
- We do not accept advertisement for other game servers. Period.
- We do no accept adult themed advertisements (so you won't see any porn or ads for viagra/cialis or any of that bullshit).
- We pre-approve all ads (meaning an ad won't appear on the website unless I manually accept it)
- The cost is per 24h. So if it says "Your ad here for $1" that means you will pay $1 / 24h (NOTE: Ad prices can change dynamically based on interest and how many people are currently bidding). Our minimum will stay at $1/24h/region/banner

I hope this clarifies everything. You aren't going to start seeing those annoying flash pop-ups/banners, your computer won't get infected from using our website and we control each and every ad that reaches our website.

This being said, I'd like to give a shoutout to our first two bidders:
- Katoon123 - An ad for /warp blaze (survival)
- saywhat2365 - An ad for http://www.towelieisfat.com/ (I'm ok with that and see it as a funny joke :P)

Mordal is working on a way to hide ads for donating players by default :) They will be able to toggle whether to see them though. We think this is fair.

Not saying that I want to, but must you have the donator rank to be able to toggle the ads? I'm a donator but I would still like to keep my elite rank.
I enjoy the act of xD-ing, like if you agree

No. If you donjated to SFT you can open a ticket to have Donator as your alternative rank on the forum.

Can someone advertise in-game products they would like to sell or is that a no-go

Yup, anything that's not a server. I pre-approve all ads so if it's not a server it will get accepted.
