what about a pay per post chatboard

[TheButcher]

where the people posting have to pay to post?

Just another idea of mine today. No advertisers just posts

[psyko514]

that's an amazing idea.

i'm going to steal it from you now and make millions.

If you do I'll feel great that one of my ideas today was worth while to do.

I was thinking paysites earlier, then said why not a chat where no sponsors pay for space but we review, chat, discuss, whatever about programs.

I own http://***********.com that I wanted to make a serious site of it.

any ideas or am I on to a loser again today.

[sickkittens]

Yeah, what about it? It's not something new. Many boards do it.

How may we help you?

Sorry dude but that one won't work, no one is going to pay to post on a board that isn't established big time. If you owned say, this board, you could make it member based and charge a monthly fee.

[Manowar]

would not work.

I think he means, the posters pay the board, not the other way around like netpond.

[vospet]

or everyone could just pay me to post !! then your post's would seem more relevent..

But i do think its a good idea. Ask lensman about using the gfy name for a second board..

gfyelite.com

make that a membership or pay-per-post deal.

[TheButcher]

2nd big idea knocked down today on the board. I still like the chat idea. but must be the only one here.
let me think of another idea , got to do something to make money, reading gfy all day won't pay the bills at home.

[Herb Kornfield]

bad idea, most boards dont have mass activity to start with.

I'd just sell ad space for coin.

I meant, there are still boards out there that charge a membership fee (monthly or one time) to post.

Even a nominal $5 a year charge would help weed out a lot of people.

[TheButcher]

Rich what if the board did spot tests on program conversions, counting hits and stuff like that, so it would be an honest discussion place not say what advertisers want to hear?

[strobi]

damn juicy would have to have deep pockets!

It would weed some out, but that may not always mean a good thing.

i couldnt see why $5 a year would be hard to pay if you were an adult webmaster. It would get rid of surfers.

[sexygir1]

I was thinking about the same thing but more like have people pay for a sig & an advatar by the month but you would have to have a board as big as gfy to do it!

[Rich]

If your board has substance, a small yearly fee as psyko514 suggested wouldn't be a bad idea. It would definitely weed out a lot of the surfers and all around useless people, but don't try to charge very much until you're well established. The idea of paying PER POST as your title suggested, would not work at all. You want people posting as often as possible, not trying to limit their posts.

[Juicy D. Links]

Pay me 15k /month Ill post at your board.

you think he'll read this thread? Hope not I thought it was a great idea.

Review, critic, test programs, stats whatever and be unbiased. Still like the idea myself.

people are not going to pay to post on a brand new board

but why hot, if we run test with sponsors and report real stats, like numbers of hits sent how many counted.

that sort of thing and not have sponsors pay for ads, it'll be an honest test site with a forum.

That must be worth a few bucks a year for webmasters to see the facts.

Not me.

Haven't been here long enough to make friends let alone enemies.

Going to go with my idea, might work, might crash, but got to try it for myself.

Any hosts around who can set me up a mysql and ip?
