What would you guys think of Buildism being advertised?

I feel users often don't have much people to talk to, and due to the age group (no offense, but it's natural! Even I have the urge at times!) patience is hard to master, so with less replies at a certain amount of time within your reply, the user will get off the forums. This means less activity.

Users can also feel a lot less communication due to lack of people. If Buildism was advertised on other sites, this would fix both above problems. But, this means Jacob_ risks losing money, as it costs a lot. Is it worth the risk, is the question.

As for money, advertising isn't a good source for money unless there is at least 100 people active a day. If I'm not correct, each ad view is equal to 5 cents (either that, or it was each click is 5 cents).

So, what do you think? Do you think that it would be a good idea to advertise the site, or wait up for more money, or just let it be like minecraft where they never advertised, but word spread via other sites?

Not to advertise in a big scale by now, but to continue inviting players

We don't even have enough money to get a good host...

It's worth the risk, in my opinion.

I'm talking about advertising any time - i.e. ROBLOX started like in 2008? that's 4 years before they advertised.

Indie games are advertised by friends telling friends. Not huge advertising campaigns.

ROBLOX started in 2004 as a closed beta. They didn't start truly being a game site until late 2005 or early 2006 though.
