Ads On Graal?

[Angel_Light]

I will build a program that refreshes my window every 0.05 secs that will make them sum money left on 24 hrs a day, Let see I follow the crowd and do math,

1 cent per viewing.

at refreshing 0.05 secs;

1 second would mean 20 cents

1 minute would be $12.00 USD

1 hour would be $720.00 USD

1 day would be $17,280.00 USD

1 month (31 Days) is $535,680.00

1 month (30 Days) is $518,400.00

1 month (28 Days) is $483,840.00

1 month (29 Days) is $501,120.00

1 year would be $6,525,216.00

and 1 leap year would be $6,542,496.00

6.5 Million dollars a year, I could make them multi-millionaires.

Theres probably a cap on unique users per so often though

Don't doubt the knowledge of Googi, if he says ads didn't work before, then they're not going to now.

[Angel_Light]

Maybe Invern or maybe they didn't advertise them right

A certain hacking group doesn't care and just uses "make Graal free" as a slogan because they think it plays well with other players. Viper has been "hacking" since long before p2p.

And you guys think you're going to find someone willing to pay 1 cent per view on ads displayed in PM windows? I'd like to see that. Advertising payouts (especially for views, which hardly anybody and definitely not anybody major still pay for) have declined (talking in per-view/per-click terms) since the 1990s. If it couldn't support Graal then it's not going to support it now. Even if we suppose that Graal actually did make a profit, obviously it's making more of a profit now (or else we would have already gone back to ads), so there's no incentive to go back.

I know a lot of ad services paying .05 to .10 per view, but theres a certain limit per month, but its preaty high. I don't know their true intentions, but they SAY thats what it is, and I have been told by others its true, So not knowing myself, Ill have to take their word for it.

I don't mind paying for graal once a year, so it doesnt really matter.. But I'm with googi on this, they did try it and if it worked we would have ads already.

Why not add them anyways, even if it didn't bring enough money in for free accounts i'm sure it would atleast reduce the cost of how much we pay for our accounts.

They had ads of a french version of adult friend finder. I remember the banner was pink :o

1 cent a view never! You maybe get 0.01 cent a view but you can get 1 cent for a click...

Well it would be something at least. Advertisers also pay more the more hits the service receives. If Graal got popular again, those ads would look mighty fine.

It got unpopular after GK never updated and Graal became unfree (the "unfree" part comes from me from people saying it was free at one point).

Graal was free.

Graal became unpopular for several reasons:
-Lack of support
-Lack of support for OSs (Mac, Linux, Vista)
-Lack of updates

and many other reasons.

V5 supports Vista Mac and Linux alot better, from what I've read

[CABAL49]

"V5" hasn't been released.
