I'm here almost every day and the ads aren't a problem.
I would like to see video ads during half time to help fund the game day threads. Run a comp about the ad with a prize to encourage people to watch it. So our mighty advertisers know we are watching. Do a poll type thing with the winner announced at full time.
What about those iphone applications, if you watch this short video for 2 minutes you can access to the app. We could do an lu version. Once a week, get through the ad.
And I would consider an lu member package, where we can use it in the "real world" for things we have to buy every so often, like car things. Repco have cut a deal with the NRMA, can we do that?
I've always been amazed that the NRL aren't all over this site, advertising the product and things or even individual clubs promoting themselves. This is the heartland?
There are plenty of people on Lu whose knowledge of the game and other insight exceeds that on legacy media and others who are just fun to be around. Say Souths mod Callmack runs a big review after every game from his perspective, every player, strategy and stuff. Its much more in depth that anything you will get mainstream. I always read it.
In the long run, I'm confident sites like Lu will eventually dominate big media as people prefer interacting. The days of being treated like idiots are coming to an end.
So we have to tough it out. I think we need game day comments running under a screen video of the game itself. That would be ideal. Id pay for that.
