If I gave you...

[Grumpy]

If I gave you $100 and $100 only which had to be spent to improve your forum or website, what would you do with the money?

 

[D]

give it to the member who raised the most money for charity.

 

[Nebulous]

Lots of improvements that can be made on a community dont cost money.
However if I had to spend $100, I suppose I'd hire a really good skin/theme artist to make me something new.

While that would be very warm-hearted of you to do, how would that benefit your community in general?

Same. Or hire some to make a wicked add-on

At the end of the day it will bring good pr 🙂 i wouldn't do it for that reason, but it would 🙂

 

[Slix]

Use the money to help pay for the server and domain. My dad is running short on money and he manages the cost, so it'd help a great deal. 🙂

 

[Austin01]

Get a new theme for around $50 thats well designed, get some paid advertising slots.

 

[Cam]

I'd convert my forum to phpBB and use HawkHost as my host. I'd then buy my forum a TLD. Then, I would spend everything else on paid posting, paid MOD installations, paid advertising, and paid premium or custom themes.

If you really are considering on giving away $100 I suggest you give it someone who it will really help the most and some who will put it to good use, for example: cmt who can really benefit from it than the others who have already replied to this thread.

Or, instead of donating money to forums, how about third world poverty? 😛 I don't think Grumpy plans to give anyone $100 though.

I probably wouldn't do much, given I don't have an active forum.

This is a theoretical question. I'm interested to know what people would do if they had the chance to make an improvement to their website.

 

[Magik]

I would buy hosting and a .com and also a custom theme. then if there was anything left i'd wait until i had posted at least 100 topics then use the rest on advertising. ^^

 

[User500]

I would get a custom theme, Or put in a offer of 100$ for the domain of my next site I really want! Have to settle for .org

 

[Teejay23]

I will use that money for new custom plugins and other custom made quality features that the forum members will benefit on.

Im not afraid to spend a good amount of money to get what i think the community wants and needs to make the forum stand out from the rest and feel original and new.

 

[AnAccount]

I would use it to get a fully customized theme, and depending on how much that would cost, I would also use it to help renew our domain. Not sure if non-owners of a domain can help with costs with that or not, so if they couldn't, I'd probably donate some to our forum so that my tech-admin can renew it, as he's the one who got it for us in the first place.

 

[Grumpy]

So does anyone else have an input to say what they would spend the money on. There are some good ideas here but I'd like to hear some more unique ones. 🙂

 

[Mik.]

I'd use it for a custom style of course. If I can I'd also buy posts.

 

[Fiona1964]

I would get a new style for my forum and icons, ect

If I have any cash left them pay for some good advertising

 

[User500]

What would be better good advertising or paying people to post?
