It is almost NBA time again. Why not put some ads in Slam Magazine, or on the NBA.com site, that is where I saw BB for the first time. Sitting on a pot of money seems like a waste. It is BASKETBALL TIME right now.
I also think they should tell us where they do have ads running so we can see then for ourselves. If I actually saw a BB ad, I might reconsider my supporter. I am one of those people who need to see proof and without it, my money stays in my pocket.

A BB ad popped up for me when I was watching something on YouTube. It was interesting because I thought it was kind of cool but in the back of my mind I was thinking "no this needs to go to someone who needs it"

RealCavsFans.com is a site that I've been lurking for about 7 years now, I don't remember my login info. It has decent traffic and a somewhat highbrow user base for a fan site compared to say, RealGM,etc. I think a post in their "Games and Gadgets" section would be just as effective as an ad there, or a good complement to an ad.

I have a phobia about entering payment info online, so I haven't purchased supporter or made a donation yet but this is a site that I've been meaning to mention for awhile re: advertising in one form or another.

Heck, let's hit the Ringer and Fivethirtyeight as well.
Lots of numbers minded analytical folks live on those pages all day long.

Imo we have seen that:

10 year old banners are useless
Banner ads are useless
New teams problems have not been solved
New User retention is horrible

If all you guys now think that we need even more banner ads and more recruiting of new users, y'all are riding the wrong bandwagon forreal.

One example: new teams get an 18 yo Allstar player to have a franchise player to work with. The guy I got on my Utopia team is worth around 1k, I got four better guys for 1k. Improvement needed.

New teams start with a season long losing streak. New users need success moments. Improvement needed.

As long as BB is run by custodians and no innovation takes place, you can burn as much money on ads as you want. It won't show any effects.
