I can edit the registration rules fairly easily, but once they proceed with registering, are they going to remember the link or click open the link to a new tab and come to it when registered? I don't think so. So that was my idea and then I had another idea like we used to have on the old CMS ... when a member is registered, they receive a Private Message. I've asked the developers about this ... no word back. I think the PM was great to get things going for new members. Have a little blurb in there like hey go to this thread to tell us where you found the site, go here to tell us about you and if you'd like to a do a member interview, this link.

Better wording would be required of course, but you get the idea. I'm hoping the welcome PM could be implemented fairly easily. I could probably create an app to trigger that, but I'd rather it built into the software than me having to make an app for that lol.

Like, "How did you find PackersHome.com?" with radio options for Facebook, twitter, youtube, internet search, member referral and other with a textbox next to member referral where a username can optionally be put in.

as far as a Q donation- there is no law anywhere that says you can't ask people which charity you should donate to. They can not tell you how to spend your money for the rest of your life.

The norm form surfing the net is to deal with the ads.. as long as they are not pop up or expand out or something delaying of that action, they really are not that intrusive.
