Default New idea or compensation for posting...

Hey TP, if you want to keep the deal up for longer you could do something like this...

Once someone gets to 250 posts, they get to play you (or a moderator or something) heads-up. If they win, then they get the $25. If they lose, then they've got to keep working to 500 to get another shot Would be fun, because it would add some more poker into our site and make it cheaper for you.

Default Awesome idea!

I think it should be implemented when you get to 199 posts.

I would offer a spin on that:

Give people the following option:

1) take 25$ at 250 posts

or

2) at 250 posts, play a moderator heads up for 35$

That way you get added motivation of 10$, but also gives the forum the distinct advantage...which IMO is how it should be since its the forums money in the first place.

That's a great idea.... I wouldn't feel right changing the rules at this stage, but offering people the $25 guaranteed with a shot at $35 or $40 thing might be a good option. That way, they don't HAVE to play, but can if they want to...

Where would we actually play? We don't want to sit at some random cash table and get raked, right? I'd have to look into this more, but I like this idea a lot.

Yeah... It would definitely be unfair to change the deal now, but if after december you feel like keeping the deal going, but there are too many people to give $25 to each 200 poster (like if you had 1000 people), then you could change the deal to the above.
