MentaL - Few Ideas for Funding

I have a few ideas:

-> Make it so that when you browsing the forum, every now and then appear a full page with 1 ad and a continue link. This will allow people to help by clicking it and those who do not want to see have a yearly subscription. Not sure about prices and that, but something like "Full Member" allowing you to have more features and no ads in the forum at all.
-> Ad a few more banners from other companies like Adhereus.com, good one to recive quick paypal payments.

If I can think of anything else or want me to help you a bit deeper, you can contact me through msn I'm Xoleum. ;)

Regards dude, hope you can solve a bit with this, it sucks to not be able to be with your girlfriend because of this shit.

Everyone in the UK:

Buy 1 lottery scratchcard (best do one that is related to the London 2012 Olympics). Post it to MentaL.
It could be him.

well i remembered im on the doal and every 4 weeks i ger £88 , so ill have to use that ....

Whatever happened to this: http://forum.ragezone.com/showthread.php?t=59965?

invest on autosurf maybe

i invested $40 in one, every month i will get $15 from it which i can invest on more programs to earn more money

If u diverse your investments u get more in return

I would click any ads we could have. its for a good reason and all of us want rz up so i'm sure all the other memebers will still come to rz even if theres ads and things like that.

How about like a little bit where (I mentioned this in game but it didn't take off) how about like a sponsered run/walk get people too sponser you and send all the funds to MentaL? and if there's people that all wanna meet up and do it together that would be awesome. (Uk, but I also would be struggleing as being 13 and were all living in random places) sorry just an idea.

about the run: not many people live near each other, at least thats what i kinda hear. I was thinking we can put cans in places or sit with a can on our street corner and beg for operations for our brother/ grandparents or sutmhing like that. then we take the money and give it to RZ which technically is our injured family :thumbup:

LOL @ run

if any of u met up to get money for this thing ide hunt u all down and shoot u

dont talk about ads clicking .. please...

that will get us into trouble from teh ads companies.

Maybe once a week make it so you can't access the site without clicking on 5 ads? (a page comes up with them on oce you clicked them all you continue). Just a thought.

It'll drop RZ's popularity

& then take the money no doubt! :laugh:

lol i say we ask Oprah or Bill Gates bc they fukin filthy rich and they prolly make blankets with 100 $ bills and sleep on them. Oprah gave Stevie Wonder a Bently the one thats like $400k and hes blind. Now why would he need that. But if i was in the UK i would send u money bc its for a good cause and my parents dont really mind.

Maybe we can get all the RZ Members to somehow find out Bill gates & Oprah's personal E-mail address and we spam then to death until they give RZ Funding!! Dammit! And i wish to god i could donate but i am jobless at the moment as well atleast for the next 1 month+... MentaL I hope to god you find some method of funding or from a sponsorship...Or RZ is doomed forever.... Good luck man!

-EDIT- I'm also spamming "Help ragezone by donating" in caps on msn to people... :) Trying to help in whatever way possible.

maybe make a very dedicated server of some game. then have a monthly subscription. I would pay for that. like even 2$ monthly. 100ppl playing = 200$ a month. and you wonder how www.mobius.com makes their money... lol

I think sponsership is the only way.
Donations won't do it for every month.
Also, I don't think the sponsers have to come in here, but we come to them..
Mental, you gotta start sending emails to companies... go on MMOG sites and see what kind of ads they show, than do the same.

I got the solution but its way illegal ... lol

yea.......?

There are companies that handles banners the biggest as ive said of these is the microsoft small business centre.

I broker about 400 comapnies though this because the advertising they receive ontop of the directory advertising I supply boosts there notority.

Banners on emails, Banners at the top, banners at the bottom a banner inbeteen the stickies and the main threads.

But when it comes to crunch ide pay to use this site, hell ide pay to use this service thats what it is I donate but £1~£2 a month per user isnt is what ive worked out a break even would be, but you would have to work out how to keep the younger pros in. Maybe add a members area.

The p2p option ona server sounds liek a good idea, ive seen that put to great effect with a p2p optional server taking enough to cover costs to to allow player to obtain things that normally are out of bounds.

Nice idea Zorobz. We should try to win Companies Sponsorship!!

I already click on ads by google at the bottom and I use proxies to do it too

What a good idea, MentaL should write to Oprah!
