A suggestion for Namepros Staff

[gazzip]

As there has been so much talk in the last few months about the brilliant idea of the million dollar homepage and other similar pixle oriented sites how about creating a Namepros version of it ??

You could call it namepics or something like that - You could make a site which is linked to/from namepros showing members photos 70x70 or business logos which are linked up to their favourite website.

As namepros is so damn good and does'nt charge a joining fee you could charge (but really would be a donation) - say - $10 per year to place a photo on it - $5 goes to namepros RJ/staff for operational costs and a thankyou for providing such a great forum and $5 goes to a charity (were we would/could purchase the donation ribbons of our choice from the existing namepros charity function).

With so many active users here at Namepros I feel it could be very good for Namepros and Charities. It could potentially bring in more than the million dollar homepage - that's if you make it a very looooooooooong page and do'nt limited the amount of people who would like to donate. LOL

I would'nt hesitate to pay the £10 (this would be optional of course)

What do you think ?? worth a shot

I like the general idea, an we could pay in $NPs for link.

This is of course is just a thought/spin off - no idea how much RJ has on his plate or if it would be remotely appealing to him to think more about ??

I just thought it could be good way to spead a little thanks (& wealth LOL)

 

[gazzip]

Bump - Any thoughts anyone ?? - Even if it's - NO it's a crap idea, not interested ?? :lol:

I was already considering the idea of a "Million NP Homepage" with the same concept applied to NamePros (NamePros businesses, paid with NPs), but I wasn't sure how well it would go over..

 

[RJ]

We may do something like this for our charity effort. A million NP$ page could raise ~ $18,000.

+ someone has the milliondollar homepage script already

I would try to advertise on it

Could be one of the largest charity donations from a websites users

 

[aznchong91]

actually, doing this milliondollarpage idea for charity would be one HELL of an idea. It would raise a lot more NP than all of those ribbons, and there should be a new one for the mdhp, just to make people feel even more special.

 

[graywolf30]

I think it sounds like a great idea - I would certainly buy advertising on it.
Great suggestion gazzip!

Alright, lets' go for it.

 

[nick-8318]

Alright, lets' go for it.

woohoo

 

[aznchong91]

around how long do you think it's going to take? just wondering...

 

[armstrong]

Alright, lets' go for it.

woohoo! :tu:

 

[bentong]

can we also pay np$ for the link?

nice to help NP community.

 

[aznchong91]

the point is that you pay NP for the link...

 

[RJ]

Heh heh... I already got it working.

www.namepros.com/pixels.php

Click on a spot where you want your ad, then upload it yourself. It's live so you will be charged 1 NP$ per pixel with a 10 pixel minimum purchase. Now I just have to figure out a nice design for it and how to add the charities into the mix.

 

[aznchong91]

wow, nice, that was fast! congrats again to RJ for making NP a better place, and for all your commitment!

 

[jstep]

send all money to user called namepros charity

then, sell that to users?

 

[armstrong]

It will take a while to fill up the grid - there aren't that many NP$ in circulation. RJ can sell off the proceeds periodically, just as he does with the ribbon fund.
