If you were given a free $10 to spend on your website or forum, how would you spend it?
 
I'd get a domain. I have no other means of getting one, so that would be the perfect chance. 🙂
 
I don't know what the going rate for a custom skin is but it could go towards that? A domain is a good buy too or I would use it towards a prize of some variety 😉
 
I would probably spend around $8 on hosting and the other $2 buying a few posts. Although I might change my mind and spend the $2 on a cheap advertising link on a good forum.
 
I would put it towards getting a fully custom theme or advertising.
 
Advertisements, definitely.

I feel like what I am doing with my blog is a unique resource, and I want to make sure everyone knows about it.
 
$10? I probably wouldn't even see it for more than 1 minute. It would be gone to our software costs etc..

My domain is already paid for the next few years, so I would put the $10 towards hosting renewal.
 
Now that I think of it, I could probably put it towards buying a custom theme that incorporates the logo I designed that's just kind of sitting around now.
 
Custom skins are about 25-30 dollars. And that's a pre-made one. If you were to commission someone to make a totally custom one just for your site, you're talking a few hundred dollars.

I usually had plenty of money when I ran my forum, but if I suddenly came into 10 dollars which I could only spend on my forum, I'd probably buy a posting service as someone said. That would get you like 25 well written posts.

$25-30 is really cheap for a custom theme. When you get to IPB or vBulletin, they easily run up to $300-500.

Occasionally, you might find a premium premade theme for $10.
 
I wouldn't. That is not much for anything, really. I would safe it, and put it together with some more money to spend and save thus having a larger amount.
