I think this is a great idea. I also think if we were to have a seperate donation option where users could donate whatever money they would like but know that it was guaranteed to go towards advertising. Completely seperate from supporter, but just a joint fund where we can all donate a few bucks towards maybe getting a YouTube add or some Google Ads or something similar.

I know I'd donate a few bucks and I'm pretty broke. Any way we can get more users is good by me. (How we can go about keeping them is a seperate issue)

A shop where you can buy shirts, Cups, stickers and sweaters with the Buzzerbeater Logo would be nice too.

Well, this is one great idea. Setting up a separate user donated fund would certainly help with advertising. Technically, it's very easy to add a donate button somewhere.

As for advertising graphics, at this point we only have some banners and similar images, nothing high res as far as I could find, but we could get someone to do them for us. These existing banners are online here: (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/images/bannerads/BuzzerBeater...), (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/images/bannerads/Skyscraper.g...) and (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/images/bannerads/bb468x60_en....). There are also some translated versions of the last one.

Also, I believe, once we set up links to specific already prepared products at a merch company that prints on cups, shirts, etc..., we probably could get a deal with them to send some of the profit into the advertising fund.

I like this idea a lot!

This is a great idea, I think there a small subset of users who would be happy to donate a few bucks a month that would go straight into an advertising pool. You should definitely do this and set an option for monthly recurring payments. I would be happy to sign up.

You should set up a gofundme or something similar to take on donations for Google Ads or something.

We are currently setting up a Paypal account for this. We'll consider gofundme and similar platforms.

What about creating a more premium version of supporter for 50 instead of 40 bucks? Extra 10 goes to the ad campaign. Give premium users would get cool forum flair or something nonconsequential.

I don't think this will ever be an option. There is and probably always will be just one level of Supporter. We might consider some badges or something similar for big donors though.
