I'd have ads on the forum too, since it cost's over a $100 a month for the hosting.

Not sure if I'm supposed to say yet or not, but there will be a way for you to get rid of the ads and get some goodies at some point in the future ;)

If something like that is in the works, I'm sure you guys could also come up with literacy and IQ tests to be added to the forum registration page.

Hey dudes... I think you're leaning this way, but a forum a frequent gives you different forum options for donations. Say for instance, you pay $50 you get to edit posts... Nobody else can unless they pay that. You pay more you get more.
I would make it a monthly thing though, say you get to edit posts for $5/month and you can have that done via PayPal. *shrugs*

By far, the worst idea ever. If someone was to go around and edit everyone's post, this forum would die quick. It would only be funny for, at most, two minutes.

How much money do the dragva members have to gather up so that GIO has nothing to do with this site ever again?

It works on the other forum, however, that's all they've known there. I wouldn't recommend that route for Drag, just maybe something similar but with a different incentive.

The ability for people to mess with other people's posts, profiles, and other shit like that won't be an option, that I'm sure of.

Hell, we can't even trust you guys to not fuck up your own posts, profiles, and other shit.

If anything, if a person gives the board money, it makes me slightly less likely to outright ban them the first chance I get (barring anything blatant, of course :))

Fuck you soulD! :mad:
No, not really. I wouldn't mind helpin' out a lil if the incentive was somethin' kinda cool. *shrugs* Maybe myname@dragva.com email addresses? Hell, I'm sure that would sell.

The email thing could be something to look into.

To be honest, I don't even think we (the staff) even really use the dragva.com email. I know I don't.

As for getting that username ... well someone beat you to it (http://www.dragva.com/forums/member.php?u=472), by a long shot.

I remember that topic coming up before, and someone shooting it down quick, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

What do I have to pay to make my name pink, ban a member of my choice and not see a single ad again ever again on this site?

Because that one ad which is after the first post on ever page pisses me the fuck off when I try to scroll down. (It opens up a new tab of it in Firefox.)

I'll tell ya what you needa get... Norton Internet Security... You can block all ads. I dont see any ads on Drag.

(sorry Sung, just PM me an ad link and i'll click it every once in a while)

I downloaded it and I have it on. But the ads are still up. How do I get it to work?
