Community Supporters: Free Ad Banners

Well, that was fun

This is a little perk I "borrowed" from Nutkinland; PC and I both figure this could be fun if done right.

The idea is this: if you're a community supporter, you can have a free ad banner. The ad banner must conform to EN World's messageboard rules in general (i.e. no politics, religion, insults, etc., etc.), and must not be an ad for a commercial product. So you could use it:
  • To tell everyone about your cool website
  • To tell everyone about your cool Story Hour, Art Gallery or any old thread
  • To make a joke, as long as it isn't mean
  • And so on.
To make this work, of course, we can't have everyone with a Community Supporter account having their ad banners running at the same time. So, I can think of two ways to do it:
  • A queue - first come, first served
  • A lottery - you put your banner into the "hat" and eventually it'll get pulled out
Each banner would get the same number of impressions (exposures), and there would be no more than, say, two or three running at once (gotta keep room for the proper advertisers!)

As an extra/aside, non-community supporters would probably still be able to get just the ad banner for, say, $10 or so.

This is now running on a trial basis:

If you're a community supporter, feel free to attach an ad banner in this thread. I'll run them (max 2 at a time) in the order they are posted here. Make sure you indicate where you want them to link to.

Banner Dimensions: Max 480x60 pixels. I won't run it if it's larger.
Banner Format: GIF or JPG only.
Banner Size: 20K or less. I won't run it if it's larger.
Barred Subjects: Commercial banners*, politics, religion, insults, mean jokes; the usual EN World grandmother guidelines apply.
My Discretion: I can refuse a banner for any reason.

For the moment, we'll experiment with the queue system. I'll give each banner 25K impressions, and as each runs out, I'll add the next.

*If you want to advertise a commercial product or service, you'll need to buy an ad banner the regular way from RPGNow.com.

That would be perfect for Gameday Ads. I wish the system was up and running now. I'll make something for our coming up gameday.
 

Well, as the first respondent, guedo97, I'll give you a banner now as a trial of the idea. Just attach it to this thread and I'll do the rest. You can be the guinea pig. :)
 

Morrus,

I'll take some of that action. Do they have to conform to a certain size? I just checked a banner you have running and its 486x60. I'd like to get Gamingden.com mentioned on here in the future for shure.
 

I haven't figured out all the details yet, tonystrongman, but if I adopt a queue system you'll be right next after guedo79. Keep an eye on this thread for developments.
