Why are there no ads?
 
It's not like it really matters that much to me, just curiosity, but how come OWF has no ads whatsoever?

Nepsotic 01-13-2015 12:25 PM

I have also wondered this.

Maybe their server fee is so low that they can pay from their own pocket with no problem.

Mr. Bungle 01-13-2015 12:56 PM

Because Alcar is omnipotent.

Alcar...

Varrok 01-13-2015 12:57 PM

Hey, Alcar showed up!

Oh wait... you're not Alcar! You tricked me!

The Unseen Masters who pay for it are happy to do so, and they have no desire to make money or anything. Not that you could make much from this place.

I have actually gotten ads on OWF before but that was purely the result of adware and letting someone else use my computer who promptly decided to download XSpeedBoosterTotallyHelpsV2.1 and OhGodDownloadMoreRAM 1.0023_69.

I've also had ads on the OWF thanks to Adware. Damn software sneaking in some more dodgy software I didn't want. Took the absolute piss to get rid of it.

But yeah I'm really glad the OWF doesn't have ads. Not to mention this is probably the fastest websites that loads other then Google.

It's because you all have ad blockers, you rancid content leeches.

I don't.
Say, what's this about a miraculous teeth whitening trick? I don't want to click it because it says my dentist will hate me.

Because OWF is hosted on an 'unlimited' host for like 5 bucks a month and that hardly worth putting ads up for. Also it's a fan site, it was never meant to make money.

Lorne pays for it.

OANST 01-14-2015 12:10 PM

He sells his hair grease to pay the bill.

Manco 01-14-2015 12:32 PM

Remember the money hat? Let’s just say the server is paid for a long time.

Varrok 01-14-2015 12:46 PM

So that's where Microsoft Munch money went into, because certainly not in the game itself
