how much money is made off the cafepress shop and the newegg link

Very well done everyone.

This is defiantly a home away from home for me. It is like when you and a bunch of buddies stay in one house and everyone helps out to pay the bills to keep the lights on. Not only the money put in to TTP by all the reservist and such but the time spent here in forum land as well as in the game servers. You all are considered my friends and by the numbers, there are almost 5000 of my friends here. Dedication, perseverance, and consistency is TTP.

For a lot of us not knowing each other, we sure don't act like it.

Gents,

A reserve slot is not the only way to help TTP. There are other avenues that are available. TTP Shopping, TTP: Gear, clicking on ads, or if you are feeling generous you may do a 1 time monetary donation with a CC or PayPal.

Even without monetary contributions, you can still help out TTP by taking up the reigns and being a model teamplayer. Lead or follow to the best of your ability and give it your all.

Every extra teamplayer we get, even without donations, helps expand our community and further our ideals.

I'm noticing we no longer have JACT or GameWager on our CSS servers... to me, that immediately screams that we are not taking advantage of our advertising space. If you do not mind my prying...

Was this a cosmetic choice or were those two companies unwilling to pay for the spot?

Also, while on that subject, is our server still supporting GameWager's script, despite it not being advertised?

I'll say this, JACT.com chose to end their sponsorship with as after the first month. Some of the Details are in the JACT.com thread on the CS:S Servers forum.

As for Gamewager...I'll let someone else touch more on that if needed. I do know that at the time, there were talks about sponsorship, but that was also when JACT.com was interested, which it seems they aren't now.

That's about as much as I know, and am willing to say at the moment. I'm sure someone better qualified can give you a better answer.

sjt or any other high,

I know you can't speak in specifics, but do we know why advertising income dropped so much this month over the last few? Is this just a random occurrence based on a slow month with the holidays, or something that will possibly continue due to the global economic situation?

it's always going to fluctuate. Also, we are always testing out, and closing out, good and bad advertising agencies. Ad revenue gets paid usually 30-60 days after we "earn" it, so there's always a delay in getting that money.
