    Do you think its a good idea to do this? its for my website

    www.utexas-forums.com

    "In order to get this forum rolling i'm offering money as an incentive to post.
    Basically, the person with the most points by the end of the month will receive 50 dollars from me. This contest will go on each month until i run out of money

    Points will be awarded as followed:
    -1 point for every new topic you create ( besides teacher discussion board)
    -1 point for every post you make
    -2 points for every referral you make (no SPAM)
    -2 points for every new review you start on the teacher discussion board (starting a new thread)


    Rules are:
    No spamming posts
    No creating fake refferal's, I WILL know. Refferals have to be real people

    NOTE THIS CONTEST HAS NOT BEGUN YET. STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO."

    I'm going to be doing a lot of manual labor for this project. I'll print out 1000 flyers and put them under the doors of the dorms. I tried just putting flyers on elevators and lamp posts but it didnt work too well. I'll probably buy facebook flyers aswell. Maybe even give out free t-shirts after 500 posts.

    Whatcha'll think about this idea?

    I think it's best if you hirer a forum poster instead of paying 50 dollars to the best poster. I'll send you a pm.
