Oh, and let's give people the ability to buy advertisements with their doubloons, too. Buy the option and you can make a thread dedicated solely to pimping your fansite. Combine it with the sticky option to ensure that lots of people will see it!
Oooh! I know! Let's give people the option to buy post edits. This will be a really privileged item, obviously. Make it worth something like 2,000 doubloons. For that amount, you will be able to edit anybody's post to say anything at all you want. You can get Perfect Stu to admit to lesbian tendencies. Or get Fingersman to hit on underage girls in the forum. It would be so worth it!
Edit: Ok...actually, the staff is ahead of me. For 2,555 doubloons, you can be moderator for a month. Which I suppose includes not only editing ability but moving, deleting and closing threads as well.
You do know I was kidding, right?

It's kind of funny you tried to use satire by being overly sarcastic, and then the overly sarcastic stuff had already happened. >_>
And if I was being "absurd", I'm obviously not the only one, because Neo is the one who made that a product to buy. How often do you think people are going to get enough doubloons to buy that? We aren't going to end up with a whole forum of stickies.
And besides, once a sticky thread does die out, and no on has posted on it in a long time, it can just be unstickied.
I just don't see what's so absurd about. No one who sticks around long enough to earn that many doubloons is going to waste them on something stupid, they are really going to want what they have to say to be important and worthwhile.
Just don't be so cynical. |
