Idea Contest: What Is the best way to USE $NPs

[Fleege]

I have been around here for quite a while but never really paid attention to any $NPs. (which is why you havn't seen me doing any - Ditto- or - Good One - posts...

My question is what do you guys use them for. What is the best value for them? What are they even worth. (I have only used them twice - once I bougth a sig and the other time somebody wanted a few in a domain negotiation)

I will Give $40 NPs to the best answer/ idea AND REASONING. Don't know if $40 NP is much But I remember it was enough for buying a sig for a few months from someone with tons of posts)

Impress me (and yourself)

Exchange rate LINK. - Thanks Gene Fascinating.

Also just learned about this site.

www.sellsig.com - intresting indeed. Do you think Madison avenue have any clue about this stuff...?

I agree with Gene 100%...I spend them on Domains first, then charity ribbons, then sell them at the exchange if I need the PayPal funds...

You can also use it to give incentives to members to participate in your site/forum. Would be useful especially if your site/forum is lacking in activity recently, or needs some starting up.

A paypal transaction costs u. Suppose you wanna pay some1 1 $ on paypal to appreciate them or as a part of your promotions, they get only $0.68 paid (premium members). The rest is paypal commission.

So, for small transactions/promotions np$ dealings are better & safe.

for me personally:

1) always keeping at least 500 in account so i can register domain in short notice
2) exchange all back to paypal incase i need cash in account.

for others:

1) registering domainss
2) charity
3) getting ppl to go to site/forum/etc

 

[Fleege]

hmmm. I was hoping for some more wild and crazy ideas. I guess BRIBARY for traffic to forum etc. is the best so far..

 

[nasaboy007]

oh u wanted wild and crazy ideas?

how about... starting a contest asking what NP$ are for?

hehe

I think we have a winner....not

yeah I wanted something even remotely original. Everybody is getting an A but nobody is getting AAAAAAAAAmazing.

I guess you get what you pay for... dont even know how much 40$NP is. Izzit 40 posts...?

 

[nasaboy007]

40 NP$ = 40 cents (if u exchange in bank)

or it equals 20 posts in programming section (dont know about other NP$ posting rates)


ok lemme try again... oh i know!

you get enuf NP$ and post various amounts of them for sale, spelling something out in |-|4><><0R (hacker) language.

EXAMPLE:
u post 5173 NP$ for sale, and if u change it from hacker to normal letters it spells SITE (5=S 1=I 7=T 3=E)

and then u finally get enuf so that the NP$ bank and exhange page is all you selling your NP$ writing out a sentence if read vertically.

now THAT would be cool.

You could use them to bribe someone. Bribery is fun.

 

[beanochris]

Set them on fire and use the burning money to light Cuban Cigars.

Ok Here's winner Since I just happen to launch a forum while this contest was running. ForumSuccess.com Even though my forum is one that I wouldnt want anybody there who is not serious about the subject matter - SO I would never pay anybody to come and join in. But maybe I can use the NPs to get the word out somehow.

Thanks all for participating I am a lot wiser now... I think. Gene thanks I was clueless with these $NP money things. Never really cared to find out.

Now I anticipate a Winners speech.
Going to bank and paying the jackpot

 

[Momo]

Wow, never thought that would be a winning answer! Hehe :D Thank you for the NP$, very nice bonus indeed! :p

 

[nasaboy007]

anyway, congrats.

 

[Fleege]

Confession. This was my very first post AND EVEN VISIT to the contest forum. Lets say I wont be a regular - no offense.
