I suppose my question is, do we need incentive? I feel as though compared to some other forums I've seen we're pretty well active. The only real thing I can see is maybe expansion of membership. I'm an "If it isn't broke don't fix it." kind of person. And I don't see a whole lot of problems with the frequency of posts.

So I had an idea for something to spend currency on: ad space on the front page of the forums. I don't even know if it's possible, and it'd probably require a new layout of the page, but, essentially, certain sections could be bought where you can place whatever image you want in that section -- of course, Wintermoot would be the one literally placing the image there, so he'd have to approve it first. But people could place funny/interesting pictures they found on the Internet, UH campaign ads, art they made, etc.; or people could work together by buying several sections to make something bigger (I'm looking at the Potato worshipers).

Since there'd only be a limited amount of space, demand would dictate the prices, meaning currency could be removed from the economy quicker if there's more demand. And there could perhaps be a monthly renewal required -- preventing someone from owning a spot indefinitely -- otherwise, the spot goes up for bids.

It might make the forums look kinda gaudy, but it would also definitely be unique. Thoughts?
