If you're looking at it from the RMT perspective, the Novice Network is gold for you. It's a chat people can't leave, and you are focusing your advertisements to a group of new players who probably don't know that RMT is against the rules. If a newbie buys $20 worth of gil from them, and then they get banned, what does RMT care? They made $20. They only do what they do for profit, anyways.

It's like a candy company finding a way to advertise inside of a school or daycare.
