Re: Fund raising ideas
Quote:
|
Gold membership, on a subscription basis -- what benefits should it have to be useful (things like no advertising)?
|
Like before, with the ability to delete one’s own post, alteration of Username Color, and that sort?
Quote:
|
One-time contributions specifically aimed at supporting a move from CS back to Invision
|
If you hadn’t mentioned considering to close down the forums, I’d call you a marketing genius right about now.All jokes aside, creative.
Quote:
|
Feature development -- contribute to a pool that would fund the development of new features
|
Such as Arcade Games and additional Add-ons for the forums?
Quote:
|
Auctions -- contribute one or more interesting items to the forum, where they would be auctioned-off (I would be happy to get the process going by contributing some cool stuff). We would need both contributors and bidders to make this work.
|
For example, if Kaaru wanted to auction off a large sum of manga volumes to MFG, he would put them up for auction via MFG?

Contests -- after a minimum number of contestants make a committment to join, an entrance fee would be paid. Judging of some kind would then be done of the items entered, and the results would be published, titles awarded, etc. The prize for the winner might also include an item contributed by a member (again, I would be happy to contribute something cool to get this going).
|
You mean like, ‘Create-a-Character’ contests where Graphic Artists do some magic, and the winner has their character pinned on the Main Site? Just an analogy, but you get the point, yes?

|
RPG stuff -- pay for certain items that can be used in the RPG section
|
That can be arranged.
Quote:
|
Forum Amazon store -- buy items from Amazon after clicking on a link on the forum. It doesn't cost you any more, and the forum earns a few percent on your purchases.
|
Such as T-Shirts, Hoodies, Coffee mugs, etc with the MFG Logo? (I’d kill for a MFG Hoodie.)
