Advertising Slots

[itsmyforum]

It would be nice to have an option for advertising slots so users can pay to help keep the forum running.

This really isn't a plug-in request. If you have a suggestion for ProBoards as a service, please post in the board called "Support Board" instead.

I will say though that you already have the option to do this manually. As long as you: a) buy a domain name & pay the annual fee to link your domain name to your forum, and b) pay for adfree, you are allowed to place your own ads on your forum. In doing so you can "sell" your advertisement spaces should you desire, with the caveat that you must say that the fee is imposed by your forum for upkeep, rather than it being associated with ProBoards.

Alternatively if you cannot or do not wish to pay for adfree, while you cannot run your own ads while still running the default ProBoards ads, you can ask for people to donate adfree to the forum by clicking the "click here to make this forum adfree" link. Again you will have to stipulate the request comes from you and not PB.

You can also have a link to a paypal donate button or something similar, again with the caveat of specifying the request comes from and the proceeds are going to the forum, not to ProBoards.

Hope this helps!

Thank you Kami!

I didn't know you could place your own ads once you pay for the adfree option.

Thanks
