I think that basil market should give back to their users. It would make the site a bajjillion times more popular. They should have free give aways and prizes and a help section. Even maple story tries to give us some goodies every now and then and we hate them. A weekly drawing or something. That would be cool. You probably wonder were the money or mesos or items are going to come from. Well, think about this. If you start giving stuff away, more people will sign up. More people sign up, the more the add space will be worth. The more the add space is worth, the more money coming in. It doesnt even have to be huge prizes and if once a week is too often, then it could be like once a month. It should be fairly good though. Like $10 nx a month or something. Mesos would be free if one of the higher lvl volunteers just took a few hrs to make some leech money every month. If two high lvls could make say 20 mil a month from like 3 hrs or work each, people would be thrilled to get 40 mil mesos. Even if the winners won like one or two free bf leech or something, Im sure people would be happy with that too. For my idea of the help section, I am not sure why this site doesnt have a help forum. Most sites I know of usually do. You could ask for site help or ms help. We could log onto MS and actually help people in the Maple Story game. With a help section, the helpful people would just float around answering questions and maybe logging on MS to help a couple people finish a quest or something. Whenever there is a help section, I notice nice people who are bored just looking for someone they can give a hand to. So, what do you think? Please tell me what you think of my ideas. If you have any improvements or comments, feel free to leave them. ^_^ Thx. Edit: I guess this is kinda in the wrong spot. O.o I will go put it in the suggestion forum place that is already posted.

Marketing techniques? Nice. Not sure if it'd work though. Mr. Basil has to run the site by himself, doesn't he? He might get too bsuy...

Dude do you know how many people are in Basilmarket? If we were to give $10 gift cards to users, like you proposed to everyone, it would amount to at least over $1 million dollars. Far more than anything Also, 40 million mesos are also worth about $8 dollars in real life currency, which would result in similar high costs. Never will happen. It would also lead to more and more ads being flooded on basil, with more dangerous ones, as we seen recently

chcolate554 : 3-4 years ago mr.b gave away nx cards during September I think. 2006; I think it was 100 given out. And 100 is the most he'd probably give out for a while.

If MRCurry did this weekly, he would go broke without donations?
