Starting in April the General Non-Investing Discussion forum will no longer pay e$ for posts. It has by far surpassed the other forums in size.
We need to bring some conversation back to the Investing forums.
At first the payment here will be turned off until it can be lowered to say 25 e$. So you have 4 more days for the full 200 e$ payouts per post!
Thanks for understanding...

Im on disability and the day gets a little boring, especially with all the rain we have been having. I likely won't be back working until June. I have to admit I am thinking about the e $$  I was shooting for the million dollar mark, lol! But I shoot myself in the foot because sometimes keep posting after the 40 post mark. |

There are still plenty of other forums to make e$ 
I'm glad you guys enjoy it. Anyone make any teams yet? You can start a post to recruit if you want to be the team leader. |

Well, bummer but, on the upside this is my 700th post and at the same time it puts my networth over the e$ 200,000.00 mark. It was fun while it lasted, well we got us a comfortable lead on the po' folks that follow us in, they'll think we're gods....  |

I definitely see the dilemma. However, what if you you still paid out e$ for this forum to users upto a maximum amount of total posts.
Example: pay e$/post if total number of users post <= 20.
This would yield (at minimum) $4000 to invest, which is nice amount to start a portfolio with!
This way, new users can still build a little bit of investing money while chatting in this forum to use to towards their portfolio.
Since I'm new to investing, this seems to be where I feel most comfortable until I actually have questions I feel comfortable asking in other forums. (which I know I will have as I build my portfolio and start questioning things  ).
Just throwing out an idea above.

| That suggestion seems a little complicated, maybe if someone made 10 high quality stock posts they could get a reward of a few thousand e$ instead. |

I'd really like to see members donating e$ to others for a good tip or going above and beyond in helping with a problem. I think it'll come eventually, but keep it in mind if you see a great post! |

I know that on some forums they have a sort of reputation voting system right on the posts.
Perhaps if there was a "donate" button on the posts people would be encouraged to do that. Maybe select between 100, 250, 500, 1000 to donate for the post? |
