Can you please explain what's crazy about them? They are most decent ads one can get I believe. Definitely more decent than what jagex has or had. You've never seen an ad on internet before?

I just meant crazy as in they are everywhere, no as in they are indecent. Why the sudden need for ads though?

It's not sudden at all. I knew from the beginning that there will be ads once. It was already discussed on the forum long time ago, and I also explained how much does it cost to run the server.

Btw, don't worry, I won't get bloody rich. It's not even going to cover the costs I pay for the server monthly. HONESTLY. More questions? Or any ideas?

nothing's wrong about it, it's just kinda hard to achieve  :-\ But now I at least have some motivation to work on the site and make it better in order to get more players  8)

I found out, that these ads are fun :p  They try to display relevant ads, based on the content of each page (based on most used words).

For tournaments section it displayed ad for:  "DVD with complete carreer of Mike Tyson" (probably due to word "torunament" and posts from "Mike")
For graphics section it displayed ad for some company that produces robots (due to "sentry robot")
