    Hi,

    Just an idea I had:) Would love to see what you guys think of it, especially mods:)

    How about adding a option like some other IM forums have where you would have to pay some amount of $$ to get your thread bumped on first page again?

    Like perhaps $15 for a bump?

    I think that is kind of win win option.

    DP will generate more revenue and so will sellers/service providers.

    What do you guys think?

    I'm agree too that this will be not fair but atleast pay per bump will be a better option than this current situation going on. :)

    I presume this would only be in the BST forums, elsewhere I agree it is rediculous, but as DP has them sorted by Thread date not Post date by default in there, it would be a good opportunity for mutual revenue, and no one would blame DP for having the option.

    I like.

    I also agree. It's not at all good for paying to bump in forum. :)

    Obviously, It would be implied on only BST because there is no usage of applying this on other forums. :)

    Well for BST it's good suggestion, especially for sites or ebooks.

    Yeah I meant it for BST , not for anything else...

    Like WF has it.

    It probably made the site about 1k-3k per day ..
