News Ups allow companies to purchase a thread in the PbNation Paintball News forum so that the normal rules preventing corporate spam do not apply. The thread is stuck at the top of the News Forum for a full week for a fee of $124.95. After a week, the first post will no longer be visible and the thread will no longer be stuck, but the thread will stay open and discussion can continue. The thread can then continue like a normal News thread or it can even be News Upped again.
The following chart outlines the advantages of purchasing a News Up.
