There are a bunch of AdSense revenue sharing mods out there, but for various reasons, not everyone is going to want to use AdSense. A different idea that I came up with to financially reward members is to actually pay them for each post on a monthly basis.
Let's say - just as an example - that you want to pay your members 5 cents for every post on your board after the first 100 posts each month. That would encourage more than just a casual posting habit, since 100 posts each month is 3 posts per day, or an average of the same.
In order to do that, however, you would need 3 things:
A way to count how many posts each member had during any given month
A way to keep a running tally of how much money they had earned - preferably in such a way that they could see it as well, in order to encourage further interaction on the board
A way to only make the option available for certain user groups (paying members, for example!)
I searched all of the mods I could find for forum statistics, and all of the mods that I could find for revenue sharing, and I could not find any of them that offered this type of functionality.
Anyone up for the challenge to build it??? :up:
