HI
On my Allegro community network, we have a banner network to help ourself advertise each other. Do you think that we could afford to do the same for this forum?
Let me expalin how it could work. Each registred user has the possibility to upload 1 banner of a limited size (12k to 20k) with a specific resolution. Then the user receive a piece of code that he must copy on his web site. When a visitor arrives at his web site, the piece of code select one of the banner uploaded by the users of the forum and send it on the page. You generally refresh each 30 seconds or 1 minute to change the banner (unless there is only 1 banner on the whole network).
The advantages is that you first have a some free advertisement. Second, you support the other members of the forum and third, you are sure that all the banners drawn on your web site won't be related to anything else than board games.
For the administrators, you will need some disk space to store the banners and you will need to check the content of the banner before accepting it in the network (to make sure there is no non-board game content)
I am not sure if everybody here have his web site. If it is the case, maybe it is the reason why there is no network banner. Still, making a web site should not be complicated since some servers, like Geocities, gives free web space.
