And this goes to the average American: How many languages do YOU speak to have the right to correct anybody? And I am talking about actually being able to communicate in that language. Donde esta el gato doesn't count -.-

America why are you so ignorant?

There are a lot of Americans that can speak more than one language. You'd be surprised.

DontAdaptMe@5urface something tells me you are not American and you have an underlying hate for America (and possibly Americans in general).

Yes, I am not American. No I do not hate them actually I quite adore them, I even lived in the USA for about a year. I just dislike ignorance...

@5urface something tells me you are not American and have something against America.

AdBlock addon blocks it every time and still shows the 'skip ad' button. I use it constantly! Never even saw an ad from there. Just blissful white!

I once got something called "setup.exe" from adfly, I deleted it as soon as it popped onto my screen! That place is evil! D:

^^Thank you

5urfaceHow so?

I don't know...

The PMC rule is "no adfly links until you're level 20, and then you have to apply for it."

Why? Because everyone would be attaching the links to everything they uploaded otherwise. And if you DO use an adfly link, we request that you ALSO give a direct download link for those who do not choose to use adfly.

When I download mods/texturepacks/etc, I ALWAYS use the adfly link. It's not much, but I'm hoping it can help. I am probably one of the few people who also donates to modders that I really enjoy. But then, I'm an adult and I have a credit card. It makes it a lot easier to do that.

How so?

@5urface you scare me...

@ Aegis

Don't you know that most Americans don't know that there is a world beyond the borders of their sometimes quite embarrassing country?
Or Oxford English that is different from the American slang?

Anonymous1432 clearly is one of them

XamboldoreDude, that's what Google does. Do you not know that when it recognizes common searches, it's actually going inside your computer?

Thats actually not true. Common searches are searches that are searched a lot. Google simply remembers searches you made based on your IP. Also, you misspelled recognize, I fixed it for you though. Did you not go to school or did you make a mistake and your computer is so bad it doesn't have spell check?

It is the Australian/British spelling of it, in case anyone see's in the quote; Xamboldore spells it with a Z but if you go back to the last page on Xamboldore's original post, it is an 's' this is the on I'm refering to

Or this... http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads

I swear its legal!!! :p

Little hint: If you post screenshots then please do yourself a favor and blur or black out every part of the screen that is of no importance for the matter. Like your system clock time or task bar... Don't give away information about yourself so freely

I bet you are only using your torrent program for 100% legal activities =P

lol I love adblock :3

Dude, that's what Google does. Do you not know that when it recognises common searches, it's actually going inside your computer?

I don't mind the fact that you have to wait 7 seconds or something, what I mind is that it checks what you have been searching. That kind of coding can be potentially dangerous. Think of it this way: You are using your computer. Then you go to download something off (Ad link removed). Then their coding enters your computer and takes information out of it. Anyone see the danger here!!!!???

@5urface would using ad.fly when I reach level 20 make me a hypocrite or is it ok to have a change of heart?

MinecraftFactionz

That is a stupid rule. I am only level 10 because I don't make a lot of submissions, but I am working on a huge one now that has taken me over 3 weeks, and its 25% done. Does this mean I should wait until i'm level 20 to even release it?

Well I suppose that is up to you, I was lucky enough to reach level 20 just the day before releasing Urbancraft.

5urfaceOh and the reason you can't use it is your level. Users below level 20 that haven't contributet to the community a lot yet are not allowed to use ad.fly.
Which I think is also good to prevent those who just want the money and don't plan on submitting quality work from doing that here.

Baconlover25So you want the mod creators to get nothing in return for making mods that many people download?

I think that users should have the option to opt-out. Like some creators do this...

Example download

Download [ad.fly]
Direct link [mediafire/whatever site]

I have a feeling someone here is going to make me look like the bad guy but it really can't be avoided.

AYCStudiosIf people didn't use Adf.ly No one would have a point in making a mod/texture pack They would just lose all motivation and stop making it... People could donate but the creators know that they will get something everytime and they woulden't ask for people to donate

WOW...

I'm making a map right now and it is 10% done. I have never thought about proffiting from it... if you simply want to make money off of this site then that is very very sad... I make creations so people can enjoy them and have fun with them NOT to get money...

I thoroughly agree, All maps I've made is purely so people can enjoy them and say "Hey look, That guys actually doing something because he finds it fun, Lets go download his stuff" I don't care for making money or any sort of return but kind words to encourage me to make my next project.

You can't wait a whole 5 seconds to download something...?
I don't see it as a problem. It's a way for them to make money without begging for donations. If they work hard, they should be rewarded.

Well shouldn't all creators be treated equally?!

AYCStudiosTry making a texture pack or a mod Not a map

So according to AYCStudios because I don't make texture packs I am not as good?! wtf...

This.

*Warning Rant*

The lack of respect that some people show here is disturbing. You guys should really consider just giving 5 seconds of your spare time if you want to download something that the creator worked hours, days, if not even weeks or months on. It's not like you would have to pay for it or anything. It is 5 seconds. After all YOU want to download something so either give a little time and appreciation or move on.
I think Ad.Fly is a great way to combine having fun with minecraft, creating amazing stuff and actually getting something back from the community. And if people create minecraft content to get money that's also fine with me but then they either have to create something really awesome to get actual money out of ad.fly (which is good for the community) or if they create crappy stuff they won't get any money.

I myself also use Ad.Fly. I didn't initially plan on doing so but why shouldn't I also use it? Anybody can and should.

Oh and the reason you can't use it is your level. Users below level 20 that haven't contributet to the community a lot yet are not allowed to use ad.fly.
Which I think is also good to prevent those who just want the money and don't plan on submitting quality work from doing that here.

So you think you're better than me because I am making a map (instead of a texture pack/mod.)?

Good, and it was at Antvenom, I posted the reply but you beat me.

Xamboldore*Sigh* Why are you trying to debate on a topic you don't know about?

They get money from the hosters. Basically:

You upload your .zip on Adf.ly. Advertisements pay Adf.ly to be shown on the site. Adf.ly pay the uploaders after 10,000 people view the .zip. That's how.

@DontAdaptMe
Then why don't you change your arguments.

Was the part I put in red at me or at AntVenom99?

I though i just did... 0.o - I do not really like ad.fly but I suppose I can cope with it in a better way .

It can be slightly annoying but it's neat how the creators get money if it's successful.

I, have no problem with ad(Period)fly

I only dislike how it uses what you search on your computer... There's some bad stuff.... Such as hitler murderers or something like that for playing Aqworlds ((I dislike that game now))

Basically, it should be filtered I might not even care about it then

I don't care if a download goes to ad.fly first or not.Its not like its taking our money.The person who uses ad.fly and puts the download through an ad.fly link they get money when people download something after going through the ad and no money is taken from anyone they just get money that way.And you only have to wait for 5 seconds.

Though I guess they could somehow be making money off of something they made for a game they didn't make.

And it costs money to go on adfly?

@Xamboldore No... I do not want to make money off of what I make and upload here... If you make things for Minecraft with the sole intention of making money then that is sad.

@silverninjastar there is no monthly cost to play Minecraft. The site here is free to register and upload on - so what fees are there?! other than paying for internet and electricity...
