free or not

Absolutly I am going to charge for these if it ready to serve.

• Weblogging


• gnubg hosting


• game record with analysis and databasing

These will stay free.

• image server


• game record


• bear off database

Why? Every thing need money to sustain. That's all.

It is non-sense to do such thing: asking to pay after free services.

Why not AD based?
O.K, it is simple: Be royal to who pay. If a site is AD based, it will be royal to AD buying companeys, not endusers. I believe that it is very important to royal to endusers, since there is possiblity of "server side cheat" in backgammon. It matters because most likely AD buyers are online backgamon site. Clearly it is NOT good idea to have them as AD buyers.
