Click-throughs to TMS result in impressions which are saleable to advertisers.

Let me spell out the process for you:
MUDs send traffic to TMS. MUDs get traffic back somewhat in proportion to how much they send. That's simply fair. You get something back in rough proportion to what you pay. Why anyone has a problem with this, I don't know. I can only theorize that some people are so used to a welfare state that the idea of getting something for nothing is second nature to them.

Every time someone clicks through, an impression is generated. Impressions are what keeps the site alive and what makes Synozeer money, since they can be sold to advertisers for banner ads and such. Reducing impressions = reducing advertising dollars, literally costing Synozeer money.

And don't talk to me about representing the mudding community. My organization directly represents more text MUDers than any other aside from Simutronics. No doubt you or someone else will now call me or imply that I am arrogant for pointing out a plain fact, but there you have it.
