pay to post sponsored builds?

[millsy_c]

Fascinating discussion, here's a thought as to what could be done as a solution(it's completely wild and will no doubt be unpopular but let's see)
You currently have a subforum for worklogs (note this could be any site, most have this setup)
We have 2 subforums,
1 for user builds (unsponsored, normal banner ads)
1 for sponsored builds (NO banner ads, BUT the sponsors have to pay a fee in order to be displayed there)

Now I can already see a flaw there, being that sponsors are far less likely to jump on board if instead of say 50 bucks of goods they have to provide 50 bucks of goods and x dollars to promote a build.

But yeah it's just a thought, or perhaps make it such that in the sponsored buildlog forum you use a different advertising 'group' say movies (I don't pay much attention to the ads, busy staring at the pretty pictures )
