You can now rent a space on the home page in order to advertise your own thread.
Before filling out any applications, make sure to read the rules.

Rules:
- Any announcement takes priority over the waiting list. If there are any surprise or unplanned announcements, they will automatically appear in the Hottest Topic window, and you will be refunded for your rental if you happened to be the one having your thread featured on the same day.
Announcements will always stay up for 2 or 3 days depending on the importance level.

- In case of unforeseen announcements, the slots will be shifted. You have the choice to either keep the new date attributed to you, or to pick a new date.
If you would like to pick a new date, you need to fill out the second form.

- You cannot rent the space for more than 2 days in a row.

- The same member cannot get their thread featured more than once every 2 months, but if there happened to be free slots, you might apply again at least a month after your last rental.

- Make sure to check the available slots before submitting an application.

- The rental fee is 4k per day on week days, and 5k per day on week-end (Saturday, Sunday).
The fee will be automatically taken from your account when your application is accepted. This is to avoid wasting slots if the gold amount is not sufficient at the time the thread is supposed to be featured.

- If your application is accepted your username will appear on the slots list in the second post.

- The Hottest Topics on regular rental, will be switched between 8-10pm PST.

- Your thread need to respect the rules and ToS. If any featured thread is found to violate any Rules of Conduct, it will be immediately taken down.

I have a question regarding this.

How will an advertisement appear? Will it simply be a link, or will an image from the thread be shown in order to access this link?

Degeneration: Exactly the same format as it is now. The avatar of the OP with the title and first post of the thread, Jump to post, and reply to post buttons.

is there any way for us to choose to have specific text in there, or would it just be easier for us to edit the first post if we want it to say something specific?

Meli: It will automatically show the first post as default, as the input is coded to work depending on the thread url.
So this is best for you to edit your first post if you have something specific to say.

alright sounds good I'll edit that when it comes time then. thanks

If I want to edit my first post to say something special, do i have to do so before it sits in the "Hot Topic" box, or if i edit it after would it change what's in the box?
