Instead of that 30-50 second delay for non-subscribers, just run approved ads.

Re: Ways to raise money for BGA
Ok I see. It looks that 2 BGA servers has a 20 seconds time discrepency that may have cause this.
Re: Ways to raise money for BGA
If I had to guess.... they already have the option of running ads and pulling in some funds that way, regardless of that delay or who is paying and who is not. I would have to assume since they have not gone the ad route, it is because they choose not to, or cannot. Of course I don't know anything about their license agreements, but I do know of (other) sites which are not allowed to run ads according to some agreements. So it's possible that is true here as well.Lithanial wrote:Instead of that 30-50 second delay for non-subscribers, just run approved ads.

How about a virtual conference once a year for members. Could have open tournaments during this conference with special trophies. Could also have members vote on various things to come up with awards for games of the year. And much more. Might be a way to increase membership.
