Would you plaster ads everywhere
or add membership fees
or ban me for making such a stupid thread
or make all the backgrounds black so nobody can see the text

I would try my best to make the site better
but you have to be 18 to own the site i believe.
and im only 14, bro D:
Everyday I'd make the background colour a tad more yellow. Every blue would eventually be phased into gold.
But gradually.
So gradually that eventually everyone would swear it had always been that way.
Then suddenly, old screencap! and MINDFUCK.
I'd probably enforce one or two more people into staff to keep things a little more secure, upgrade the chatbox to a less shittier one, but leave mostly everything how it is. This forum is great already in my opinion. Oh, actually I might create a new set of smilies that aren't so ugly. :P
Moderators would be elected to one-year terms. I would appoint two admins and have a third elected. Existing mods and admins will remain and this system will be used to appoint their replacements down the road.
Flashchat, meet AJAX chat.
The site would also get various improvements. I would reach out and try to form parnerships with world leaders on lucid dreaming to provide premium content to interested members.
Minimal to no new ads, although existing ones would remain.
I'd give MoS and Ynot admin rights and root access and let them fix whatever was wrong.
Add a secret sub-form for catgirls.
I would increase the sig and avatar limitations.
Podcasts would be another excellent "official" addition. You can place brief ads in the beginning of each one and squeeze out an extra $10 or so in revenue.
I would fix the crappy server, first and foremost. Then, I would scrap flashchat and replace it with something that actually WORKS on a regular basis. From there, I would appoint mods pretty much like Mini said. Oh, and I would make sure that someone who knows what the hell they're doing is able to go in and improve the site as needed.
First of all, I'd give MoS root access, as khh said. Then I'd buy IPV and update it. Then I'd go about it as I would any other forum I admin.
Purge all I deemed to be unworthy.
...Or just buy it and let people who know what they're doing help me run it. That's probably what I'd do.
Sell it again.
Oooooops forgot - I would unban Leo :)
thanks for the votes of confidence khh & others
Yeah that's clever. Spend a $100 or so to host your own forum and mess around with the colors and see how much of return you'll get on your investment. :shakehead2: ridiculous.
I'm thinking you may have misinterpreted a few posts. Sindred thought it would be fun to mess around with the colors if she had her own forum. Slash was saying that it is not hard to get the forum, and if handled properly, could return revenue. He was providing nothing more than background information on how forums work. He did not suggest (nor did anyone) that altering the colors would increase profit margins.
I love senseless fun. But, heh, I guess that's just me.
Sindred is hawt! You should go for it!
Honestly if I had that kind of money to spare, I'd hire somebody to manage it for me lol. And just check up on it every now and then.
