[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 255332, member: 1"] The staff and I have been throwing around the idea of having a "Contributing Member" system in place to help cover costs of the site, and make it better. Specifically server costs, the programming of new features (like the EXIF on images one that has been mentioned in the past), and general upkeep (paying for peanuts to send to the moderators). The basic outline is this - a "Contributing member" would pay a low yearly fee and in return would receive features on the site like: [LIST] [*]Larger PM storage [*]Larger gallery storage [*]No ads at all [*]Ability to buy forum features with points, like a colored username [*]Exclusive contributing member chat and forum [*]Images in signatures [*]Contributing member designation under username [*]More that is yet to be determined [/LIST] I certainly don't want this to seem like we're turning into a different site that provides only certain content to paying members. That is not the intention at all. I do, however, want something that could potentially take this site to the next level. Vote above on whether you think this is a good idea or not and feel free to comment! [/QUOTE]
