[ Closed ] PunBB needs your money! (Page 5 of 5)

Just send "a few bucks" but i must admit i'm not very found of these million dollars pages. maybe i start being too old ?

Hi,

I know I'm a bit late joining this conversation but I have a suggestion.  How about some sort of competition?

Best new mod or theme (I'm still considering using this software and got sidetrack in here. Does PunBB use themes?)

Competitions often create plenty of publicity (especially if there are cash prizes!) and that may drive new traffic to the site.

The prizes can be small and run every 6 months or something.  I'm sure other users can think of some but here are a few more:

Best slogan in under ten words.
Why I use PunnBB instead of other Forum software.
Why I can't live without PunBB.
New/updated Logo design (Not that the current one is bad but sometimes it?s nice to updated it.)
New/updated banner graphics.
Best new feature suggestion.

Your turn....

Wow this is really starting to make me mad, the whole idea is well worthless. Why should the be a million copies. Affliation and putting your link into lists of simular sites is much more effective.

The Last 1,000 Pixels on MillionDollarHomepage.com are on Ebay

Hi Rickard,

I'm a firm beliver in helping developers like you, who selflessly make applications available to the wider developer community.

While I am only a small blip on the internet landscape, I just donated USD$100 as a token of my appreciation. Its the most that I can afford right now (actually its a bit more than that).

I have adopted PunBB as my businesses forum, and had it up and running in minutes. Congratulations, and should my business start generating revenue, I look foward to donating what I really beleive your application is worth. Much more.

Good luck (to us both).

Kind Regards,
MT

Did you actually buy pixels yet?

It is a waste of money, nothing but a bunch of spamming advertisers on there.

It may be smart or not, but the fact is there are stupid people all over the world. Before internet, these stupid people were duped into mail order, phone, and door to door scams. Well now there is a new generation of idiots that are easily led automatons that believe anything that is posted on the internet.

QUESTION:
For a forum software maker that is concerned with privacy, security, and hacking concerns, why connect yourself with people that do those things? You are just asking for trouble.

I am seriously thinking of not using PunBB now.

It is no the fact about advertising, it is where one advertises...

You have a high school play coming up... Do you post bills up near the night club and bar scene?

You have a Motocross competition... Do you advertise in a old folks home?

It is looking for your target audience and looking to keep certain groups away, such as, hackers, spammers, and so forth.

Advertise all you want, but why waste the money, time, and effort on something that you will either be a needle in the hay stack or be attacked by unwanted trouble.

Or am I talking to a 13 year old that has no idea about things like this?

Well, that's your decision then. Personally, I use PunBB for the extreme performance and stability. And also because security issues are patched in just a day or two.

I couldn't care less about a little image on milliondollarhomepage. And we should not forget that when this thread was posted, there were only like 5-10% filled, so who could say it was full with scammers?

$1million dollars for a university education. LOL - But he did make the forum and its excellent. Now I just need to figure out how to change the skin and colours to match my site, then I may be willing to part with some cash. LOL

I could never come up with the idea of starting www.millionpennyhomepage.com. I guess I just wouldn't think people are that stupid
I think the decision to not use the money for a ad there was wise. And like Rickard sad, if you don't want the money to be used for anything else than www.millionpennyhomepage.com you can have your money back.

Great I would love to participate
