***GTA*** Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) .:: I am new to the web designing and I have a question. Where so many GTA related fansites get those cool animated ads and banners? I know that they are in SWF format, but I cannot find them anywhere. .:: To give you an idea what I am talking about, check that website: http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/games/gta...hots-000619.php .:: Can you see those animated ones on the top, bottom and on the side. Are those part of some kind Affiliate program by R*? I know that Vice City sites used animated GIF's from VC Fansite Kit, but there is nothing like it for SA or LCS. At least I couldn't find one. .:: I would really appreciate if someone could tell me where I can get those and if possible how I can download them from sites (if possible). Also maybe someone knows a good site that have those animations for SA or LCS. .:: Thanks a lot! Edited November 10, 2005 by ***GTA*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

***GTA*** Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) .:: I dont think so . Why, well because I was searching for GTA LCS animation all over the internet and I noticed that there are only three types of them (long vertical, long horizontal and square) and they all exactly the same from designing point of view! I dont see the point in making an animation to promote someones item for nothing. Also they all exactly the same. The frames and images that follow each other are identical on all sites I visited. .:: I bet there are a lot of skillful webmasters, but I dont think thats the case here. Those looks like premade advertisements. All games have those, but where webmaster het them from. Do they contact the developer or simply copy them from one another? .:: Thanks for your opinion muppetmaster!

Cojawfee Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Well you see, a company pays a webmaster or another company to display their banner ads. They provide a banner ad and it is displayed on the website a certain number of times depending on how much money was paid. No one made them and handed them out to everyone.

Thats what I said, but how FANSITES get them? Are they in some kind of the agreement or something? Anyway the only thing I want to know if anyone knows where to get them? Any webmasters here who can give an advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cojawfee Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Do you mean fansites as in someone made a website about the game and is not all that popular? Or a popular site dedicated to a certain game or series of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just kidding with you man! Basically yes, some guy played the game, liked it and made a website. There are so many of them, but they look very popular as they have great layout and design and a lot of people leaving comments. But anyway anything on the topic?

Luke Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 R* send certain websites adverts. It's that simple really, R* make them and then ask certain sites on their webring (not an affiliate program, it's essentially a sort of invite-only thing, you don't add yourself, they would add you) to have them on their site. adam broke it.

OK then, that helped. Any idea how to get in that webring or its up to them then? In that case do you know where to get SA ones? If you know obviously! Maybe someone knows where to get good SWF animations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
