So... this is basically a giant ad? Thought this was another joint for a second.

Perhaps "Resources and Support" is a better place for this. And good luck with everything.

Oh, thats what that

The PREMIUM PACKAGE

 is, i thought it was just a load of crap, well i'll join. 

I thought this was the appropriate section. Since everybody is allowed to contribute something to the project I thought it is collaboration.

As I said before: in the first place TOWER 999 should be an internet landmark! In the second place I try to make some money because people who want to make money with an apartment for themselves can also pay something for it...

For any noncommercial use it's completely free to take part and you're very welcome to join and present your skills and also your websites!

Of course not!

If you want to use it noncommercially, you just download the Free Template Pack, edit the templates (outside and inside apartment) and send them back to me when you have finsihed. You cannot choose the floor number when using the Free Package but you can tell me which one you would like to have (if you would like a special number) and I will see what I can do for you. Generally the better/more eye-catching an apartment is, the higher is the chance to get a high floor number (which is likely to be seen more often later than the lower ones).

I remember this idea when it was non-profit and was called Mr. Wong's Soup'Partments

Yeah, I remember that, too. The internet is full of pixel towers and even Mr. Wong wasn't the one who invented them as far as I know! Although he has the most impressing one at the moment, I think.

Yes you're right... but there are hardly other ways to realise the concept. And in these days most people have broadband-internet so the loading should be not that problem anymore. The higher images load first, the lower images later... so even if TOWER 999 should get full: if you just start at the top and scroll down it should be no big deal! And if not you have to wait some seconds what probably also won't kill you... :)

I can understand your point and I even thought of something like this before.

@ Pixelblink:
If he hosts a site where people can send in images, but asks for money for an ad how is that stealing? The people post everything out of their own free will and by sending him the images wouldn't they already be consenting?
Not like anyone's charging people to actually view the site. So by simply posting an apartment on the tower you automatically deserve the revenue generated from ads you didn't create for a product you don't actually have anything to do with?

Well I guess you could argue that without the free apartments the paid advertising ones wouldn't have a leg to stand on but then again if he doesn't actually get one ad then he'd still host it right?

Aah my head hurts.

Sorry for the long post but just needed to say how I feel.

Anybody (freelance pixel artists) interested in the kind of cooperation described above? Let me know!

Right, but people who want to advertise (commercially) are also allowed to move into an apartment if they want to and have the skills to create/can provide a proper one.

Since every apartment's "inside" is a single page it's not that important, I think.

An apartment - be it commercial or not - that really 'sucks' and doesn't comply with the rules/terms (which say that all has to fit and look good together and everyone has to stay in his/her own space) will be rejected and therefore won't go online. I mean it's obvious that some pixel artists are quite professional and are able to create more good-looking than others (maybe people who are new to this) and this is also not the point. Not every apartment can be the greatest. But any apartment has to achieve a certain level to be accepted for TOWER 999.

But at the moment I'm still waiting for the first resident! Although there are quite some downloads nobody has sent me a finished apartment yet... gogogo! ;)

You could make a rule, like this.

if a person choose a apartament  205, another person can't choose the apartament 204 or 206 until the guy finish the apartament 205. If someone choose 301, we will have to wait until this guy finish this art to get 300 or 302. If 404 is completed, and someone want to make 405, the users will have to wait to the apartament 405 to be completed to make 406.

With this, will be easier to make, a tower with apartaments that fit with the others, since or nobody has made a apartament near, or someone has made and he need to make your apartament fit with the others.

And even with this rule will be many apartaments to choose since there are 999.

This will make your like easier other, than looking for each apartament that too see what apatament don't fit. You still will have too look for apartaments that dont fit, but this will become a easier work.

And, yes i know that apartament 1, 2 and 3 are reserved, but those apartaments can be a exception.
