Additionally, this package includes both a full-size banner and half-size banner to be displayed across general and unsponsored areas of the site for the same duration.

Sponsors also receive up to two (2) company representative user accounts with “Forum Sponsor” titles and rights to post in any classified forum, a larger custom signature, increased PM inbox capacity of 1000 items, unlimited image upload capacity, and the ability to respond to retail requests with sales and marketing-oriented responses.

Sponsorship makes your direct series support apparent while offering additional influence across the forums, ensuring maximum visibility and engagement.
