Big blank ad space (Upgraders only)

TappedOut forum

So upgraders only see a big space where an ad was up top.

What should we do with this space?

-Let upgraders make/upload fake ads?-Let upgraders put messages up there?-Something else??

I think it would be cool to have a card of the day or week with a few nifty thoughts, combos, applications, etc with it up there to help keep the creative juices flowing, and it might also give more people incentive to upgrade.

Yea or do like a special feature on someones deck that has bought a upgrade. Get it head lined besides having to use the tokens to put it on the featured stream.

I was thinking that also, but some people might complain of favoritism based on whomever is picked or complain that their decks never get picked. Although if requirements to get your deck up there were attached, I think that would keep it fair, such as a deck has to have at least 10 votes and the owner of the deck has to do a brief synopsis (redundant, I know) of the deck and what it's goal is. This could be featured at the top beside the deck itself and there could be links to what some of the people who helped choose the deck think about it as well to get multiple viewpoints on it.

Yea that would be cool And I was thinking maybe have like a special article where you could link one of your decks to it that only can be seen by upgraded people and only upgraded people can up load.

Since this site is primarily a deck building site/tool/community. I think it would make sense to focus towards that.

I'm always looking around the site for decks that are new/intriguing/need some love.

Maybe you could have that spot randomly pick a deck with 0 views/comments and put it there as a "new feature deck" and it can stay there until it reaches 100 view or (x) comments so it is guaranteed to get feedback. Then as soon as it reaches the threshold a new deck that has 0 views/comments can be randomly selected and take its place--all while keeping in the spirit of the site.

This ensure that a greater number of new decks by the "upgraded" members get viewed. And it gives something fun for upgraded members to call their own, and lord over the non-upgraders. hehe.

I would honestly be interested in seeing a shout box there.

Basically a shoutbox like in the draft area where subscribed members can chat with one another if we both happen to be on tapped out so we don't have to send 8 messages back and forth.

Maybe with that it can list the users on tapped out at the time as well which is a feature I would love to see too.
