We are looking to add 2 more Game Developers to our Game Development Network called ToggleSpin.
We are offering free hosting to any developer that has a game in development and has something to show the public. You will get as space as you need with all the perks of CGI, PHP and MYSQL functionality.
Other perks are: The availability to have your news posted on the Sieger's Post Game Developers News Website and yourname.togglespin.com Sub Domains and email...
Email me (rtbrillon@home.com) or check out http://www.togglespin.com for more information on how you and your team can get hosted!

No strings.... Just the display of ads. Thats it. There are no popup ads unless you'd rather have them instead of static ads (sitting on your page). Nothing else. YOUR Information is never sold to any advertisers as we already have our advertisers in line and we hate SPAM and dont not condone it. If your worried about the type of service we run, just ask the developers we currently host.... http://talos.togglespin.com or http://legendoffawl.togglespin.com or just check out http://www.siegerspost.com. These guys arent disappointed and neither will you. So relax...and email if you need more info!

I'd call the required display of ads a string.

Sorry, I was having a "bad geek humor" moment.

The display of ads on hosted sites would be a string alright...... A string of HTML code! ROFLMAO!!!!

Sorry folks... we can't please everyone now can we? Show the Ads or pay for it. It's your choice. Were not trying to cheat anyone here, just trying to give a home to some independent developers that can't as of yet afford the hosting. If that is a "String" then yes... we are guilty. Guilty of trying to help out developers like yourselves that need the exposure. Our hosting has to be paid somehow and I'd rather not have to place a monetary charge on the indies' for it...Thanks for your enthusiasm.

Actually sounds good to me, and If I can't get my server up and running, I'll drop you a line.

I'd jump on this chance in a nano second, accept aside from a few pieces of concept art my team doesn't have a whole lot to show-off at the moment :(
Building an engine deffinitly slows things down a bit. LOL

I've always considered the display of ads on hosted sites to be very acceptable. If I didn't I never would have moved my homepage Fortress Kiln to Planet Tribes when they invited me. My above comment was just my smart-ass nature revieling itself LOLI'd jump on this chance in a nano second, accept aside from a few pieces of concept art my team doesn't have a whole lot to show-off at the moment :(

I just wanted to ease your thoughts about our simple offering. Just yesterday, we set up a developer that read our post here and is a active patron of the Garage Games website. I personally set him up, and he is happy. He did ask about how we do our advertising, and here's what I responded with:
"We are currently signed with 23 Advertisers. I usually prepare a banner rotation of 11 advertisers per site that we host. If you'd like to see a list of our advertisers, just let me know. They range from computer game related items to debt resolution.
If you'd like, I can also allow you to choose the 11 advertisers you'd like to have displayed. Just Let me know on this..."
I dont know of any other network that will even allow you to do this. As for those worried about us keeping your information private... dont worry. Yes I can guarantee it. Look, I hate and fight SPAM just as much as you do. We make hosting money off of Ads displayed. Not off of selling your information to those same advertisers. Money for Ads being displayed is our only revenue intake. We don't even do business with any other Advertising offers because we know of some of their dubious tactics. Rest assured that we go to great lengths to protect our network's privacy. With the system we have in place now... that isnt a problem.
There it is in black and white. Again we display Ads in exchange for hosting. Nothing else. We normally do static page Ads (physically on your pages) but if you prefer popup Ads, then we can modify the small little one line code to do a Popup for you. I'd rather do the static Ad but, the popup is no problem if that is what the Devs want!
Have a good day fellas
