So, i was wondering, since Billboards still empty most part of the time, meaby is a good idea to adjust prices, specially for clubs to be promoted.
$nake will be probably mad if this happens... he wasted millions on almost all billboards to be displayed for months xD

Yeah Matias, ure right, i'm noticed he's the "frequent buyer" of billboards but also he's one of the top 10 richest person according to Forbes Magazine (xD). Think about regular clubs who doesn't own a lot of funds and players who want to announce something

ROOOFFLLL at that hahaha :P
I believe Ethan is working on some new billboard thing, atleast he said something about it in some posts.
But on topic xD : i think the price for renting a billboard is like this because otherwise you would see useless bllboard adds, and the clubs that really want to use it to get known get less response from their adds.
Basic marketing thoughts : Lowering billboard prices > More unimportant adds will appear = The important adds will either get a less response or be totally ignored, and the purpose of advertising got destroyed.
However, i am in favor of lowering it a small bit:)

True Kona, but there is arround 30 billboards and there's like 10 on work, so, i'm pretty sure that this is going to work :P. Thanks :)
Lower price = more useless thing
But like Konali said lowering it 10-20% (?) would be good.
+1
Can be lower, for me it's okay :D nicer to pay $4 or 5 mils than 8.4 for 285 days :P

I am working on a private billboard thing that replaces all the pictures to modern day ones rather than the pro-laps, pop-o-cocks ones... that is in no relation to this billboard question

Roger, top 10 forbes magazine xD
I agree with you, but then on the other hand some billboards get rented for 196 days...
And some ads are already pointless, so I think it's fine as it is now.
There should be a limiter for how long you can rent them.

Yea like 30 days or something.

-1! I like my BB #7 and with 8mils is nice to reserve it for 20 x 14 days :) so it's limited - 14 days :P
I support this. +1 but yes we need maximum, like 30. But $nake's billboards stays for the time he putted it there then

Yeah Mick, but u can restrict the duration of the billboard or "obligate" the owner to change the message each 10 days or something like that, just saying :P
put a max thirty days of renting. renting one billboard for 200 + days gets ridiculous and people who rent that same billboard not know it already rented with spam complaints about it

they can check in /billboards which is free to use, or will become free soon :) it's nothing wrong with renting one billboard for 200 days+ and.. I can rent for more if there will be a limit :)
Stay like it is now, But add these rules to it
*Nonsense or Spam will be deleted by an Mod/Admin like billboards with "sf45s4fs4f" "435" "Watch this!" will be removed (and yes, i seen random billboards with numbers once!)
*Owner must change message every 20days/30days
*Owner cant be inactive more than 60 days or it will be deleted.
*If you rent it for longer than 10days, it will cost 1% more every 10 days. (Maybe, dont know if this will fix things :/)
*You need more than 150/200 Truckloads to rent longer than a week/10days

That's it :D
i think the most simple thing would be this:
- you cannot rent a billboard twice in a row
This so that the same player cant rent a popular billboard for a longer time than 14 days, and then a new add would come up

Maybe never lol xD
but anyway i think it would be the simpliest thing, just dont allow anyone to rent a billboard twice in a row.
It would give everyone a fair chance+ the popular billboards would have more diversity when you pass them, instead of having 2 months the same add staying there.

no xD because it would be 14 days max anyway, and then 100% sure another add would be visible.
