For X amount of posts you can redeem advertising?

I notice that there's a banner rotation up on top which of course costs money, however a good idea might be to give a week on that banner rotation for every X amount of posts you earn.

So if I make let's say 200 posts, I can redeem it for a week of advertising in that top banner rotation. That might persuade some members to be active. That figure is just for demonstration purposes not sure what number to use exactly as I'm still new to the forum and don't know what the avg. post count is, but I'd say something like 100-200 posts would be fair for a week's worth of banner rotation. And so it doesn't get overused only one free rotation per month.

Sounds like a good idea.

Currently all 5 rotation spots in the header are filled up. But not all months go like this.
So, I guess we can offer those unused/unfilled slots in the header/footer to our users for posts.

I'll discuss this with other Forum management users, and let everyone know about our decision.
Thanks for the suggestion. Keep 'em coming.

Yeah, i like the idea. I already have a banner ready.

I intend to start paying, as soon as this place gets more members, and they are constantly active like the DP Forum.

I have no funds for this kind of thing at present, but i shall keep you in mind...
