| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00  | Just came back from McDonald's. They're running they're Monopoly game again. Which got me thinking. Here's an idea that should put FMJeff's programming skills and ingenuity to the test. Make clicking the ads into a game. Every time you click an ad, a small window pops up showing a symbol. A special cookie file records the fact that you have that symbol. You get another RANDOM symbol every time you click an ad. When you get certain combinations of symbols like all four breast cup size A through D, or the words "Toss", "My" and "Salad", you get a prize. The prize could be real, like a Foundry or OA.com T-shirt, or virtual like a "VERY SPECIAL" video clip on Foundry or "Mod for a DAY" on OA.com. I know the idea needs work and it all depends on someone actually being able to program it, but it could work. Right?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00 | That's not a bad idea as far as how to implement a "prize giveaway" idea I had some months back, but...quote: ... there's something I don't see happening real soon. ;)  Funny how ev'rything was roses When we held on to the guns Write To Me Here AIM: SmarterChild Sweet Mother Mary, so many say they've seen you But if I'm shown, I promise I'll lie Cause most things are meaningless, the more you get to know them Down here love is the only gun I trust This message was edited by SLASH on 7-30-01 @ 7:21 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Mod for a day would be a bad idea since you might get someone like me becoming a mod. Could you imagine the horror? I'd ban everyone with a higher post count than me lol(I knew one of you would make that joke so there beat you to it).

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | There's a reason it's in "quotes". I was thinking more like access to behind the scenes, the ability to edit other peoples posts and having your name bounce back and forth. Anybody have better ideas for "virtual" prizes?

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | You'd have to have a million different random things pop up,... you want someone to have to click ON AVERAGE say a million times so that a t-shirt doesnt cost more than youve gained from advertising. Virtual prizes are way for cost effective. I'd like to be Mod for a Day, even if it only meant I get a bouncing name and the ability to edit statuses for that day only. Hell, the bouncing name is even cool enough.
