i dont like to use it... but, maybe to give the economy some substance, the newsfader can be used as a billboard... for a small fee, the 3 governments can advertise special events or just "hey, take up residency here" since it rotates, Natopia can take take, say, 3 or 4 ads at time, and itll cycle automatically. there can even be premium prices for the first cycle slot.
it'll be an unfortunate fact that Lavalon, Faronia, and New Germany will be lower down the forum.... since categories can be easily re-ordered, we could sell the highest spot available. that's all i think we can do, otherwise it may seem like we're charging rent... but we're not, only providing ways to increase foot traffice.
and if the LOE decides to move here, they can take advantage of these offers too.

your board has been created. to answer your question, Natopia will be getting a MX2 account soon... once the union is finished since the application requires a list of active citizens.
we do have a bank now, people do have money... so you can still market.

Thanks Now, back to the main idea of the topic: are you asking ideas? I think it works well... and it makes me wish phpBB has a newsfader. Perhaps you should consider selling it to other entities as well.

the only reason i dont like it... is coz there is no "dont fade" option... i'd rather put up a block of text like whats up there now than short blurbs cycling. but the cycling makes it perfect for what im proposing... i think ill go through with it... it'll be a government run business tho, so the profits will go back into the economy rather than my pocket. of course, if the 3 governments arnt interested, it can be made available for any entity, including businesses.

and the government can also sell spots for the "important links" section up top... and maybe, if the price is right, a banner can replace the Natopian Coat of Arms... maybe
gotta love capitalism ;D

That would be difficult, especially since their is a different logo for each board. Perhaps you should replace them all with a Global Header.
