So this has probably been brought up already but I'm not really interested in finding the thread again, but I just wanted to keep this topic afloat a bit I guess.
So I know the Dollars aren't a business, but sometimes for sponsorship you don't quite need to be a business, just a group with enough influence and people. If people sponsor the Dollars, or the Dollars sponsor another group (which I've got a couple in mind) I think things can move really well in this group's favor, or at least for those who like watching this group move forward. Just my two cents.

I don't think we could technically get sponsored since we are based off an anime who's company holds the rights for it. If I know my facts (Which may be wrong), we can not receive financial things from a sponsor. But depending on the sponsor we can be promoted.

While sponsoring another group is most likely something completely different, I don't think it truly benefits us that much. But that depends on both websites, which would then require both Admins of the sites to meet, which sounds slightly troublesome but 100% doable.

I think if we were to go with your idea of being sponsored, we'd have to do more research and get the approval of the BBS admin. Since how else would we be promoting anything or being promoted. But I am curious to hear your plans for this idea.

What groups are you thinking of trying to sponsor? How will this benefit the group and help us move forward?

That's useful insight, thank you.
Well, I'm thinking of sponsor a group called Rades Youth Club which is this youth rally group trying to advocate peace in Tunisia, cause there's situations there. I've been searching a bit high and low for sponsors for Rades to help support them and give them influence to benefit their cause and community. So the idea just hit me that if groups can keep showing support for each other, the Dollars could be one of the ones to do it. I didn't quite have a plan, just bringing up the idea.

Ahh, I see! Well it seems like you've fought half of the battle. If you can create some sort of plan and then present that, more people will likely agree and following after it. Or at least, that is just how I see it.

No one wants to sign their name only something that doesn't work out in the end.

I ain't asking for signatures, I'm just curious how it would work if the Dollars could sponsor someone. One I know, I can take care of the rest tbh

"I think things can move really well in this group's favor." What do you think this group's favor is?

Because just getting more members isn't it. We've been a very popular site before, and all it caused us was grief. The technical back end isn't built for large influxes of users, nor is the front end. The main few boards move so fast they're unusable when there are too many posters.

If you think getting money is it, remember that the admin is separate from the missions and other member activities. The site getting that sweet sponsor money doesn't actually mean we'll have more funding for missions and whatnot, just that paying for hosting will be a bit easier.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

I wasn't talking about signatures. When I say "sign" I mean agree and support. No one wants to support something that is destiny to failed.

But I agree with >>6 I don't really know what you intentions are. Maybe you can give us some more details?

>>6 I'm talking just simple influence. The Dollars are a lot more than just what's on this BBS. Some amazing things can happen when people work together.
Besides, the way you put it, you make it sound like there's really nothing to be accomplished period in this group.

>>7 How is it destined to fail? I'm not saying it's 100% gonna work, but I mean if we give it a shot it shouldn't be that difficult right?

>>8
I'm not saying it's destined to fail. I don't think you are understanding what I am typing out. If you have a detailed and proper plan, it is less likely. Every plan has a chance of failure, but if you have put zero planning into it. The chance of it doing downhill fast is increased. And people can see that when they read any plan.

While I disagree that it may be harder than you think and would probably require some patience, I'm not opposed to the idea. If you do plan on going with it, I don't see falling apart as long as you have a plan. But that is just how I see it

Well sure, I was asking for your guys' input, not commitment. Like, I don't know all details, so I'm seeing if anyone here knows a lot about sponsorships or could recommend any good sponsors so I could help my groups and potentially help the Dollars too.

>>10
I am just giving you suggestions on how to improve and go onward with your idea. You don't have to follow them, listen to them, use them or do whatever you want.

>>8 There's plenty of amazing things we could accomplish with enough willing participation. I'm just not sure you understand the actual potential of that, beyond what was shown in some dumb animu, as you haven't actually explained what you want to accomplish here.

What sort of "simple influence"?
What specifically do you want this group of anons--with varying moral standings--to have control over?

>>11 Thanks, I appreciate it

>>12 A sponsorship? A sponsorship shows influence, like that's part of what it does, aside from funding. I'm not actually sure if anyone from this site would give money. But like, I don't lead this place? Whatever I answer to you isn't going to matter anyway? I came here asking for ideas and input not to give commands that we accomplish this or control that.

I'd also like to ask if there's any sites or organizations you guys would recommend as far as useful sponsors? Thanks

>>13 When you sponsor someone, you are financially supporting activities of theirs that you are in agreement with the cause of. The other party usually shows their appreciation by providing you advertising space.

If we don't know what activities you want financially supported, we can't recommend anyone who's likely to find it beneficial to sponsor them. That's why I asked.

You can't just go "sponsor whatever the Dollars are into", as we have very varied beliefs. We have SJWs and white supremacists and moderates and trolls and children who are still figuring things out, plus everyone inbetween.

So it's up to you to take the initiative and declare what perspective you want to take with this thread. What's the purpose of these sponsorships? What are you, personally, trying to accomplish with them through the Dollars? It'll be easier to offer useful suggestions if you can at least explain that much.

>>14
You basically explained what I was trying say but far better than anything I could do.

Alright then well, the one group in particular I've been hoping to sponsor is called Rades Youth Club. They're a youth rallying group in Tunisia trying to give people a voice in their community and help protest their government. I dunno if any of you know anything about Tunisia, but it's basically becoming like Libya, losing money and political influence fast, and there's lots of corruption and police brutality, and Rades is trying to protest against that.
It was that group and also another known as Palisade, but Palisade doesn't need the sponsorship all that much.
Rades just really wants to have other groups be able to back them up and support them, whether through influence or money, they're very interested in sponsorships.
I'm just rather unsure if the Dollars could do it and if so, how?
