If someone need maximum exposure for their threads in B/S/T section. Isn't it possible to offer feature like "Sponsored Stickey" where one can pay to put thread on top of all for certain period of time? This should be limited to 1-3 members though. Members can be selected by asking bids per section.
What's a Stickey? Thought it was Sticky. Would be too many people buying sponsor spots and forum will be cluttered with stickies.
