Will selling a Poster of my ASS help?

we could threaten to send it to people if they don&#39;t donate, that might work

Maybe you could add a donation button to help you recover some of the money you lost from the scam?

Yah better a "gimme money" one than something semi-criminal. [/b][/quote]

Open, honest...I think you&#39;ve got what it takes Brian. We all make mistakes, I have made plenty in my life.

Thanks by the way...

I agree this seems a good way to go B)

Advertising was never a big issue. It was the content of the adverts that annoyed the community. This board is all about filesharing so a lot of your target audience dont care much for profiteers.
The foundations of this board were built upon open and scam free filesharing and p2p. When it seems like you are endorsing scam/spyware you should expect an adverse reaction.

I would suggest that you screen all future advert banners and there should&#39;nt be anymore major problems. As for the paypal donations, I&#39;d be all for it if I knew the monies generated would be going primalry to server/webspace costs and not to line someones pockets.

Edit: I&#39;ve said it before and I&#39;ll say it again: Honesty is the best policy.

[Rat Faced]

I understand that some members use Zazzle.com, and i remember that some others were asking if we could make Cups/Teeshirts etc last year...

So, do you want us to link to a Zazzle gallery created for the board?

This would kill 2 birds with one stone, and could possibly help towards Rookie recovering some of his costs.

The members could show off their design skills and make themselves the products they want, and others may also purchase their designs...

Any thoughts on this?


This isnt something we&#39;re thinking of already, can i have some feedback before proposing it to The Team?

[Barbarossa]

The bunnypoker banner always used to be quite popular, I missed that when it was taken away..

An arcade is a great idea&#33;

[namzuf9]

Not a bad idea RF. Someone would have to come up with good designs for people to want to buy them though.

[Filliz]

Honestly,i don&#39;t see any problem with banners on this forum.
It&#39;s pop-ups that are a big no-no&#33;
Put one up the top and one at the bottom.
Just as long as they&#39;re not flashy ads i&#39;m all for it.
I&#39;ll even click them every now and then
The Bride.ru is a good one(it can go at the top) and maybe put the Google-ads at the bottom.
And a button for donations is not a bad idea either.
People are still free to decide wetter or not they make a donation,so there&#39;s no need for anyone to go berserk about that.
But it might be nice to have like a special star or title for those who made a donation.Or make a pinned topic with a list of people who made a donation,just so that they get some recognition for it (if they wish).

I dunno ...just a thought.
