This has been brought up before, but in an other form.

My suggestion is brownie points for ads, the previous topic was about an external company but i think this could be done internally.

So a place is needed, I’m not sure where it can be placed but I’m sure people have ideas. So the ad would be like a half banner (234 x 60 pixel) or whatever and the member could then buy a spot for either something they want to promote(with click-able link) or just something random like:

Log in to see images!

It could be something with a set cost like 1bp for 30 second in the “loop” for 24h. The loop would be all the ads submitted for the following 24hs. Or you could use dynamic bp cost so that you can choose like 5bp for 2m30 secs in the loop or for a longer time period, 30 secs in the loop for 5 days. Ofcourse this is just a estimate of cost, FW is a big traffic site so promotional ads maybe should cost more.

So this is my suggestion, what do you guys think, and what’s good & bad about it? Does it even sound like a good way to spend BP?

Edit: I have ads blocked with BPs so would be cool to choose if you want to see the user submitted ads.
