Would limiting a perspective STM to say 10 posts be easier to deal with?Originally posted by Okiewan
The idea of extending the grace period should be considered more, it's a good ide and would be more important in the future. A 2 week period may be enough? It's a hassle from a bookkeeping standpoint, but can be dealt with.

Yes.Is that number of distinct users
Advertising was the original model, but like most other dot coms, falls way short. Even though DRN has as many readers as the number 1 dbike pub, it's nearly impossible to convince advertisers it's a better deal. Let's say you put a $6,000 full page ad in Dirt Rider Mag. It has the potential to be seen by 150,000 readers. Can DR Mag tell you how many people actually saw it and how many times? No. DRN can. There are endless reasons why effective, targeted web advertising beats paper, the old school just doesn't get it. At least not yet. If you convince them to get on board, how do you value it? I see ad rates from $10 to $1000 per month on the web. The most exposure a company can get on DRN costs less per month as a 1 inch tall, B/W ad in the back of Dirt Rider lol! Think DRN is a better deal? You'd think it would be a no-brainer.What existing revenue streams offer the most potential?
With all respect, I think you'll be sorry. I believe you are asking the wrong people, what you are considering has no real affect on those of us here so it doesn't matter, we have nothing else to gain. The ones it will affect are the ones that don't see this and they are the ones you are dependent on. They are the potential subscribers.Originally posted by Okiewan
I'm looking into hacking a way to either limit a new user's number of posts, by post count or time period. That may be a good compromise.
I think becoming a subscription only forum will lead to the demise of DRN in a hurry. You must have fresh blood in here or it will become stale real quick.
Damn...you that fast on the track? :thumb:Originally posted by Okiewan
I got the post limiting hack done and tested.
I need to clarify this...I meant to say "subscriber to sell". Anyone should be able to purchase.Originally posted by bscottr
Must be at least a subscriber to post in the for sale forum.
