k-man.. im not actually offering to pay anyone.. merely interested in how much they would be worth after the idea was floated in another thread.... i don't see whats so wrong about starting a discussion on it.... lensman can come in and say "it's not on guys" and that would be cool.. i've just never thought about it before.. and it did make a bit of sense and a moral equivalent to promoting someone else for referrals..

the purposes for starting a dialogue like this are the same for any other.. to work out the pros and cons.. personally i don't see how it would be like a slap in the face to lensman.. he doesn't worry about the referrals in the current buttons and no serious advertiser is going to rent out people's sigs rather than the proper board spots he provides... but if he feels it's taking too much of an advantage from the forum he provides then thats the gospel on the subject.

i thought it would be cool that if someone like spacedog posted a big thread on his misfortunes you might offer him $20 a week to post with your sig.. but at the same time the more that i think about it you could encourage a lot more retarded posts.. im sure you'd have people making up multiple monikers and getting rent for three spaces.. and if you paid per post you'd just increase the garbage amount.
also i don't think i'd like to have no control over the content of the post that would be above my sig.. you might not wan't it associated with a particular stance or person..

pure curiosity thats all.. nothing to get worked up about.
