What features would you like?
Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2025 7:11 am
Good morning, Sonor Family! I am working on some mods to the forum and for those of you who are active on other boards; what features are important to you?
I have been asked for a dark mode, but I think that will be something for me to revisit later when I am a little smarter and have the functionality all set.
I am looking at banner options, with the potential to have sponsors (drum stores, etc.) either pay a flat monthly rate for a general ad, or pay a commission if they sell a particular item because of the DRUMANDSTAGE media. For example, once I get the banner installed, I may offer to let a drum shop offer advertise the 150th Anniversary Shell Sets with the agreement that when they take the order and ask how they buyer decided to buy from them; if it was related to this site; I would get a very modest commission. Of course, this would rely on the honor system. For the record, there is no monetization (maybe very minimally from YouTube - remains to be seen) so this is all an out of pocket expense and any advertising revenue would be a way to offset that, and give me a working budget to buy Sonor items for Product Reviews and the like.
Any other ideas?
