You run the least profitable fan media ever, you'd know more than anyone this is par the course.

CE3 is completely non-profit. I've made $000,000,000 over the years from it.

But RT has used sponsorships for the majority of their company, and its not really possible to block the in-content advertisements they do. Im just curious since they have had their sponsorship program for so long + are pushing it way more just how little of profits they are and their other forms of profit compared to advertisements.

I would think you've 'made' a negative number due to spending money for giveaways and such.

But of course that would prove your point all the more.


In fact, does anyone here even MAKE money through Halo stuff?

If anyone makes money I'd guess it'd be through Youtube. But even then it's eehhh.
I asked Teh Lag a while back if he got any Youtube revenue.
Nope. Nada.

I could help translating to Spanish if you want

Dennis makes some money to help keep the site up through ads I'd image.

The problem with Google ads is there is a $100 minimum payout. The CE3 youtube channel has montization locked due to content ID, my personal youtube channel has made like $0.50, and the HaloCE3 website runs some ads on the map downloads but we've made less than like a few bucks. So in the end- there is no payout and I don't imagine I'd ever see a payout unless I use the same adsense account in the future for other projects.

But yes to Jesse- we have lost money. Over the years, probably a collective $500ish if not more. The website, post-show servers, Bryan Cox (he isn't free ya know), additional crap, Ustream Pro, ect.

This is a patently untrue statement. You spend a lot of time contributing here and I have made it very plain that if you don't like this site... don't use it.
Respect is earned not given.

W8 wut.

Basic respect to everyone is one thing.

But having respect for one person is another?

But than that "other" gets twice the respect because he is also part of "everyone".

Someone's been spiking your paella bro.

I get what TheMaster is saying, but his wording is a bit incomplete. Allow me.

Basically, just view people as NPC characters with a bunch of traits. Alongside common traits such as:
- Stamina
- Health
- LustForChickensDish
- Etc...
There is also an inter-personal trait, let's call it: "Respectability".
The value of this variable thus depends on the viewer.

"Respectability" starts at a base value of 0.0f.
Over time as you get to know a person, if they inspire you, treat you well, share their chicken's dish with you, etc... Respectability++
Should they on the other hand, snatch your chicken's dish, or just act cocky or needy -> Respectability--

Positive values of Respectability = a respectable person.
Negative values speak for themselves = a not so respectable person.

Cheers.

Missing the point again sparky. No one gets respect until people choose to give it, regardless of what you think you deserve.

You have been in this forum for a little over a year an in that time you have tried to pass yourself off as a teenage wunderkind, a twenty something veteran and now a 30 year old adult. You look for solace in religion appear to crave acceptance and your hubris goes so far as to demand instant respect from total strangers. I would feel sorry for you if you were not so incessantly annoying. Small wonder no one respects you they can't even stand you. And you will prove my point by attempting to reply to this assessment with a page full of disjointed mis-characterized scripture.

You forgot the drop mic.

Also I added categories to the wikia pages that were missing them.

Would make more sense for old man Denny to just throw an opensource wiki up on the halomaps domain, but his expenses are high enough already. Although I'm assuming the bandwidth for halomaps looks like a limp dick on a graph after 10 years.

Since the beginning of 2016 5 people have been ripped on by Dennis. This now makes the 6th.

And since I contribute to one of the foolish six I vote effective immediately that we have branded jackets and merchandise created in our name to serve as a reminder that you cannot hope to have a chance in juarez at toppling the mighty wielder of the holy ban hammer.

And also because I want to buy a gtx1080. And I need the finacial aid Rlly rlly bad.

Jobs do wonders

Wiki's are good. Wiki's can be great. I looked into adding a Wiki but the one constant with Wiki's is that they take a great deal of time and work to useful; time I was not willing and now unable to spend.

All of the 8 other Halo CE wiki's never lasted more that a few months because they require more effort than most people were willing to put in. They require constant moderation. I really hope this one is different.

Let's be honest, probably not, but why not try?

> Implying I don't have a well paying job already.

I just need to re-route the cash flow from hand bags to gpu's.

Dennis, could you not choose some veterans to manage the wiki for you?

I agree. My assessment was not a critique of it's possibilities just a recanting of the history so far.

We could call it "Halomaps.org".

Hey neat Idea!

We could also have individualised sections which could cater to specific interest such as.....oh I don't know;

Vehicle tags

Weapon tags

Scenery tags

Multiplayer maps

Single player maps

Documentation and tutorials

E.t.c


This is why I love forums btw. One person has an idea, another builds on it and it grows into a beautiful thing.
