On top of that BHW's BST section could be turned into a fantastic money generating machine if the initiative would be taken . Take warrior forums for example. 20.00 to bump a sales thread and the way sales thread creations are handled there is like this: Sales thread it is sumbitted, approved, paid for, taken live. All posts by OP are editable forever.
BHW should emulate both, except for some slight differences; no unlimited timeframe for editing, rather charge a 5.00 fee to edit original post. Have a 10 minute buffer so OP can edit multiple times until satisfied, but once 10 min pass after last edit thread is closed again, 5.00 to re-edit.
So here is the strat:
1) help me edit my sales thread's OP. (before all the hard (2 weeks worth) of coding work that is about to ensue)
2) Price 35.00 for new sales threads (once approved. no more waiting x days to x months at the mercy of the dark side)
3) After 30 days thread stops auto-bumping at new posts, 10.00 bumps from then on out. After 90 days, sales thread deleted entirely. (for more 35.00 recreations)
4) OP can be edited at any time for 1 day, then after that 5.00 OP edits. 10 minute fairness window after edit for re-edits, 10min bumps can go on indefinately, but as soon as the timer passes the 10min mark hits the edit capability is closed off. 5.00 to edit again.
All this will increase the revenue of BHW by thousands of dollars a month. Also paypal payments can be sticky when trying to purchase all this, so someone will need to go over to RAC and hire a guy to help implement a pseudo BHW currency system, where you buy the points right off the bat, and use them for quickly purchasing your needs.
