How about Sponsor a page?

There seem to be quite a few things that get a mention on accyweb these days that are semi-official, somethings for charity events, some political, some for events theatrical etc.

Now all of these groups including some of the charity events must have a budget for advertising, so how about if they were to be offered the chance to sponsor a page on accyweb?

Let's just pluck a few examples out of the air,
A womans page for instance could perhaps be sponsored by international womans day.
A political page that gives the chance for an invited guest each week of any political persuasion, (not necessarily just to give us the chance to pull them apart), it would be very brave, if say the labour party would sponsor a page like that!
Or if some Am' dram' group instead of paying all their publicity budget into the Observer , they were to sponsor Nightlife, Events, Days out
I know these thoughts are probably pie in the sky but it might just assist Roy in maintaining accyweb for the rest of us.

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

A better idea might be that each member had to be sponsored.

I was going to post a few ideas that came to mind, but thinking I might be sued for libel, changed my mind:)

No.

The first six people and their sponsors I thought of were cruel beyond measure, yourself being included.

Deep down, having a heart of gold, I really couldn't be that mean.:)

Dear Less,
in answer to your pm, no I will not send you my list of suggested sponsors for individual members, as I think if you had it I could still get banged up.
Your's etc.,
Rindy.

Heart of Gold my aunt fanny's a***. Me cruel, now I’m hurt……………..as for not being that mean, you’ve outted me “so to Speak” as one of the six, so you might as well get on with so that we all know who we are.

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

This thread has made me realise what a battle I have to fight with my inner bitch.

Whispered into someones ear over a pint, they would be very funny, but in print they would appear hurtful and mean, something you know I am not.:)

Back to the thread, all of Less's original examples of sponsorship seemed to apply to Gayle. Is this coincidence?

In answer to that rindy I only said, you could send me mine, and I pm'd you so that you didn't have to go public, but privacy isn't something you seem to have an understanding of, so far as p.m.'s are concerned eh?

No rindy they are not a coincidence but if you will have a bit of patience nor are they intended to be bitchy which is the conclusion that you have jumped to, perhaps if Gayle can be given a chance to answer then all will be revealed!

(If she gives the answers I'm hoping she will give and she has her political head on!).

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

This a polite way of telling me to shut up, Less?

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

Whilst I agree with you in principle Less there are a couple of issues:-

1. Can you imagine the uproar from all you men if we set up a women's page? You'd have a field day with that!
2. Hyndburn Women's Forum and Oswaldtwistle Players are charities. As for advertising budgets - I wish! That's why I do what I do in the way that I do it - I have no money to pay for adverts in the Accy Obs.
3. I don't think this site should affiliate itself to any party by allowing sponsorship, it could either put people off joining or prevent an unbiased debate. And yes, I'd be quite happy to hear from any other candidates via these pages, I think it could liven things up no end.

However, I have donated to Accy web lately as a member if that helps.

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

The down side about paid sponsorship for a page of Accyweb is when the sponsors start to dictate their rules about what can and cannot be posted. It would be like HBC sponsoring part of the forum, then demanding that nobody criticises HBC on this forum........ We would run out of stuff to talk about..:D

Hmmm, I wonder who would sponsor me..:cool:

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

Just a question though - What else is the Nightlife, Events, Days Out section of this forum for if it isn't for people to let other people know what's going on?

If we're talking sponsorship though, Less, you could be sponsored by Kenwood - they make really good mixers too! lol

I have to agree with Gayle as soonas a sponser lays out cash the law is laid by them with all the restrictions enforced. It woundt just be G that could be sued a would bet a good few of the regulars would as well. There has to be a way of raising cash other than by donation and I think the last saturday in the month could be used to start something rolling unless someone is going to brbe brave and sugest........... Leave as is and lets have fun and keep ripping the preverbial out of the world and all.

Re: How about Sponsor a page?

I like the idea of inviting public figures on to the forum for a sort of Guest Appearance,that would probably be quite good fun.

Could we also have theme nights?

Both of those are brilliant ideas A-B .

It could work like the Panopticon debate where I posted a thread asking for questions and then allowed a few days for them to build up before answering them. I was on for four hours that night and it was hard work but I'm really glad I did it plus I think I earned a lot of respect for doing it.

- now if you could just convince PB to come on here.......
