Halloween $10 Post Day!

[Catspaw]

Everyone,

We are keeping the tradition of having a $10 post day on October 31st. Woohoo! This offer will last 24 hours only, so enjoy the money while it lasts! Please keep in mind that spam is still not allowed, and we will delete posts that are made merely for making money.

All areas that you normally get money for posting in have been changed to $10, EXCEPT the SBC forums. You still won't get money for HH posts. Nice try, guys!

Many thanks to bookworm for the reminder. Our current stats are below, and I'll share the new stats 24 hours from now.

Have fun, and post away!

Some history for the newbies:
The first $10 Day was on Halloween of 2005 and wasn’t originally planned to be an annual event. But then Shadowpaw decided to use it in an attempt to set a new user record and after its great success it was made a yearly tradition.

So it was made to get posts up? @Bookworm

Hahaha So true bro... so true!!!@Blitz

So it was made to get posts up? @Bookworm

Not exactly. It was made as a way to allow users to get more money, as a special treat. Of course the way to do that was to make more posts, so that was the effect, but the direct intent was not about the posts themselves. Until, perhaps, when the idea to try setting the user record was thought of. Technically that was only concerned with the number of users online, they didn't have to be posting, but they probably would be.

Oooh, more money day.

I always forget about this until it shows up. Happy free money day, folks!

[Tikvah]

Wow, this is the first time I've actually been able to be on today. I'd forgotten this is a thing.

[Catspaw]

All right, it's been 24 hours and the money is (sadly) back to normal! I hope that everybody had a fun day, The 24 hours stats are in the original post if anybody is interested.
