I'm just another supporter of ads and filling the white space in the launcher. If need be, put an ad near the DL links on the SSP and Tekkit pages if the launcher ads aren't sufficient.
Servers are expensive. An ad would probably be the best idea and cause the least amount of trouble.
BTW, I'm looking forward to the new project you guys are working on Keep up the great work!
What do all of the options on the login screen do? Specifically?
I understand the build choice options, timeout, and RAM, but what cache is cleared, and where/how many/when will the backups go?
thanks
