It's almost like the company that's not paying is getting a 2 month sticky thread while the paying company gets a banner in heavy rotation and a handful of 2 hour stickies.

It is frustrating when you pay for ad space and can't keep a biz post on the first page for more then 5 mins because everyone is posting the hell out of a non-paying companies contest ... I posted a traffic give away post the other day ... i was giving 5k to the 20th and 30th post and 20k to the best response. I had to put the post count part in just to try to keep it on the first page. I wanted to give the full 40k to the most informational post .... All I wanted for the traffic was an opinion on what type of site we should build next ... a basic what is selling good right now ...I'm spending the money why not find out what people want .... that thread lasted maybe 30 mins on the front page and never even hit the 20th post .... it was bumped down by bullshit threads and these mega contests ... I just wanted to give out free traffic for advice ... no one was able to take advantage of that offer ... i think it sucks .... maybe the board is getting to big... i ran the same thing on another board and got 55 responses and 2 very nice essays .... i gave them all traffic ....
