Everyday poast should be open and free if you want to keep users coming around.
Charging by the tourney makes the most sense, a flat fee for a set ad. YOu might have 3 options, $25 pack, $50, $75 pack.

However, I think anyone earning money by running some sort of event (be it private skills, tournaments, camps, etc.) should pay for the privilege of using the forum for advertising.

I agree with charging the tourneys. If Admin starts charging the individual trainer or skills coach (like ekkeeper1) then we may loose that resource from this site.

I agree with that, alot of the other Car forums and etc that i hang out on all of them charge Advertisers $ and it's not a outragous amount but if ppl are going to advertise or solicit on here then they should pay a small fee to do so imo.
Hell even as a member i would mind donating to paypal for this site if it gave me like a special user "Tag" and access to say "Member" only forum for those that donate.

I didn't know there were services to help you become a tranny. Their target demographic would seem to be very small. I doubt they would have much success advertising on a soccer forum, so charge the crap out of them.

Judging by your avatar, you would be the first to sign up!
OK, charge everybody and add spell check to the site.

I know I do a large amount of posting on this site. I am a college graduate student and the majority of what I make pays for my education. I dont have other means of distrusting information other then on here, have a few others that I know would help me get the word out but I cant afford much as far as alternative advertising. My vote would be I wouldnt mind paying a small fee for my Camp stuff however for the individual stuff I feel that should not be, my fees are already low as I want to benefit the goalkeepers I am working with.
I think Admin was talking about an optional service for folks like you who could pay a small fee to have your training thread posted to the top as a sticky. And if you wanted to take it to the next level, invest a little time to develop a banner ad or two and pay a little more to have those placed on the site. I don't think he is implying eliminating your ability to post freely on a thread you create. But with a sticky, you would have to post everyday to keep your thread from being buried where nobody sees it.
I think it's a good idea, Admin.

Would be nice if you could get it, but it is doubtful that it woul dbe sustainable in any way - advertising however is a proven business module which does work. $/page view and more $$ is a link is visited -
