Jazz, we've had a few sponsorship offers already but I was tryin to keep the site clean of banners n stuff.

We pretty much provide everything we can to the people for free (coz we're such nice guys) but if you guys insist on paying us then i guess it would be rude to say no :wink:

The idea has merits, we just gotta work out what to give the special people :)

I hope to have shirts made up soonish

Passing thought..

Another forum I venture onto has gold, silver and bronze.. They all have different freebees and privilages.

This is just an example from what I can gather.
Gold members. Get a shirt, stickers and (cheapish) number plate frames with the forum website on them for advertising (great idea 2 get new members)
cost of membership covers all with a small profit I think its about $55

Silver is something like stickers and the plate frames $35

Bronze is just the stickers and is about $15.

But the best thing I think is the privilage that comes with being a member.
Only paid up members can post pictures on the sight. This cleans up alot of crap and frees up space. Dont know how it works or the exact pricings. Other sights also have only paid up members can post (Start a new F/S post) in the for sale section

If paid up members are looking for a part they can start a wanted thread and ppl reply, but no unpaid member can start a new thread.It's a good way to raise money to expand the forum for you guys.

I think 75% of the ppl on this forum would pay at least $15 not only for a sticker, posting privilages but to see the forum benifit or expand in someway.. It would only cost you owners a couple $ for the sticker and stamp and the rest would remain the same. You might even end up with less crap and more free space on the forum.

Just a though.

or you could use it to generate good publicity for the forum, raise the money and donate it to some needy charity... i mean if theres nothing you guys need it for, then we could always use new members who know what there on about... or more people who wanna sell there gems cheap... lol...the publicity could attract these people...

i dont know tho i think the site does really well as is!!

How about instead of donating to accrew points. You post footage of chopping a commodore.


Chopping a VN, rusty paint job and stock wheels missing two plastic covers with your gemini = 1 points.
Chopping a VY SS = 5 points.

If the commodore catches on fire, or burns out a clutchpack in the slushbox or rolls 27 times trying to follow your gem around a mild corner = extra points.

Catching the look on Mr Mark Skaifs face when his $20,000 personal loan gets chopped by a gemini = extra points.

Maybe with the monies collected you could run a few ads on the radio to get the site out there. As a sort of reward for the ppl who donated they could talk in the ads and be on the radio advertising for ozgem.
Just a thought...

Well i only came across this site by accident, i would never have known otherwise, maybe a little ad in a popular magizine or what not would help bring in the crowds...
I may only have one nut but i still have more balls than you..!!
