Hilarious Fundraising Ideas

I was just browsing another forum when I stumbled upon their fundraising page. Since that forum jumped over 400% this year, they require a new server. And they came up with hilarious ideas like:

1. Ban a member for a day. $25 (limited usage) (obviously non-admins)
2. Force a user to have a certain avatar (donator gets to pick) for one week. $10
3. Force a user to change their name (donator gets to pick) for a week. $20
4. Force a user's sig for a week. $15
Etc.
Along with crazier stuff.

Maybe we could try that here? I mean, people are more likely to donate if they get something out of it (satisfaction). A good many people on that forum donated after this.

Discuss.

(Not sure if this fell into Customer Service or not so I put in general to be safe.)

EDIT: Came up with another: Change the default forum theme for a day. $35

That's a cute idea but... DATS doesn't nearly have enough posting users to abuse that.

Personally i'm disagree that idea. After Spam Period (i know, that's about me too), we will have Chaos Period. Even if that works only for a one day (for example ban), it may cause many problems. For example i'm each day of week update Digimon Hangman and RockMan Hangman here. Also 4 days in a week i update Nabari no Ou forum. Even one day may be bad for me, because some Members must wait a day more for update (they still wait for it but not long).

That looks like a game from extermination camp IMO. At the beginning that may looks funny but also may be used to "kill" (don't understand me wrong) unliked Member. Also some Members can spend some $ for that funny game, while some other Members cannot. What with that other Members?

310 active members....

I'd say that curtail a few donations...

Of course, it's just an idea.

EDIT:

You don't have to implement the ban thingy if you don't want to...

One would have to a real big dick to donate so much money just in order to annoy someone.

Active members =/= posting members. I only ever see like, the same 30 people posting...

 

[celestial_sacred]

It's a good idea, but I don't think I'll ever be able to come back if I get banned over that. XD I'm paypal-less or anything internet money 'cause I'm in a tiny town. >_>

Good point.

I'd be willing to do the ava/sig/name whatever thing, the ban is a bit too much though for the likes of nemo, I think he should have immunity from it, but I like the main idea.

The ban one i wouldn't agree to do (people would pay to keep me away i warrent)

The avatar/siggy thing would be funny, prices are rather high so i would suggest it to be lowered.

But you're safe, he said non-admins.

As You know, for me that idea will bring DATS more troubles than Spamming. Spamming is a habit for us and no one here, will tell otherwise. Aslo we spammed exactly two threads (million one and party one) but S.P.A.M. Forum was for threads that aren't for General Forum. Your Fundraising Idea will be general idea, it will be on whole DATS not only two threads.

You don't have to implement the ban thingy if you don't want to...

No i mean, i haven't cash for that or i'm living at end of World, so i cannot that. DATS will be divided by two groups, one group can pay (they live in USA and have cash) and second (they live in the middle of nowhere or haven't chash). That will be not good for us. As Koroku said not long time ago (at least i read that from his words), he want do all Members almost equal, regardless of their position. And somehow that was works and still work (if we will firget Party time).

I'd be willing to do the ava/sig/name whatever thing, the ban is a bit too much though for the likes of nemo, I think he should have immunity from it, but I like the main idea.

Or everyone can be banned (for example) or no one. Only one exception must be with Owner, because he cannot be banned. That includes other Admins (Zel, back to Admin rank...I miss You..).

I've seen forums where those kind of ideas would be hilarious, but DATS isn't the right place for it.

Simply because there aren't enough users that do enough bad things. But that's a good thing...

I kind of agree on the ban thing too, i just threw it in there...

And the prices could be lowered....
