[quote=jsteele]We are considering introducing "DCUM Sponsorships" as a form of low-cost advertising aimed strictly at the local DC metropolitan market. The idea is not fully fleshed out yet, but I wanted to solicit feedback. Here are the broad outlines:

1) A new "Sponsors" forum will be created in which only "sponsors" can post;
2) "Sponsorship" will be relatively low-cost. I'm thinking of perhaps $100 per month;
3) Sponsors will be able to post special offers, notices of events, or other advertising in the forum. Users will be able to reply to posts with clarifying questions (but bashing the sponsors won't be allowed in the sponsors forum -- outside the forum, normal rules apply);
4) Obviously, sponsors will have to be registered users, but accounts can be created solely for posting in the sponsors forum;
5) Posts in the sponsors forum will show up in Recent Topics and, on the off chance the posts are popular, in the Hottest Topics list; and
6) Registered users will be able to "watch" the forum and get emails of new topics.

Please provide feedback about this idea. Also, if you are associated with a local business that might want to be a sponsor, use the "contact" link in the upper right corner of the home page to send me a note letting me know about your interest. Understanding whether there is a market for this will be a big factor in whether we go forward with the idea.
