Concise description:

• Conquer Club to allow sponsors to advertise on the website

Specifics/Details:

• Certain areas on all webpages would be allowed both banner adds and actual running video adds. However, if you are a paying member for Conquer Club...you will not see these adds! WOOHOO!

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• It will makes lots of extra money for Conquer Club and nudge freemiums to make the jump to premium!

make freemiums suffer

[Metsfanmax]

It's not a case of suffering. They're helping to pay for their own membership.

In fact, I wouldn't complain if there were ads on my page, as long as they weren't spectacularly intrusive (i.e. page-wide banner ads on top).

Conquer Club meets Pogo.com, huh?

Thing is, pogo requires more money because it's using franchised games so paying for copyright uses; in addition to its quasi-gambling nature where people can win money or prizes. CC doesn't do that. CC relies on the skills of its members - both paying and nonpaying - to invent creative new gameplay options, so that all the membership fees really have to pay for is the web space and padding the owner's pocket.

I am not trying to start a gambling casino, I am just suggesting that ConquerClub take advantage of sponsorships to fill in the gap for the freemium players, thats all. I am sure Hasbro knows about ConquerClub and there would be a nice business relationship between the two of them if Hasbro or other gaming companies were allowed to advertise on ConquerClub webpages. This would be great for the site, and quite possibly the premium members as more money would mean a chance for membership prices to come down!

Hasbro knows were here, we almost got sued off the face of the internet by them.

Then CC should allow Hasbro to advertise to the freemiums. It wouldn't hurt CC any. Freemiums that play and like the site and can imagine it as a premium member who doesn't have to look at any more Hasbro or Final Fantasy 14 ads and commercials, would join CC as a premium member. Freemiums that just like playing their four free games can suffer through the advertisements and banner ads. If they leave CC, then how does that hurt CC? They were just playing for free anyway. I know if I came to CC website and played some free games, I would highly consider becoming premium...the ads and banners wouldn't even phase my decision, especially if I knew that I didn't have to look at them anymore once I became a premium.

And I don't think lackattack is interested in putting ads on his site.

CC loses the chance of a paying customer? If I had to deal with annoying ads that slowed down my browser for the 6 months I was freemium, i'd have been gone after 4. There are users who are under the age of 18 that have no way to pay for premium. There are also players who are too short on funds to pay for premium at the moment. I know i'd be frustrated if every page I tried to load took longer all because of ads. 4 other Risk-based websites I tried all had ads, and I was pulling my hair out after about a week.

[greenoaks]

and this is the site with the most members so clearly no ads strikes a chord with the majority of online-risklike playing community

[drunkmonkey]

Is CC having money problems? I don't see how this suggestion helps the members of the site in any way.

It may encourage fremiums that become regular visitors to make the jump, but it would likely result in less of them becoming regular visitors.

I vote No

I know that personally, ads are a sunnova bitch. I wouldn't go on a site as much (as a free member) if there were ads everywhere. It's incredibly obnoxious.

If Conquer Club had ads I would've quit before I bought premium.

Well, I didn't even buy premium. I was gifted, and then gifted someone else.

Alright, i'm moving this to Rejected
