    Yes, a banner pointing out the donation scheme would be good. Or even more simply, outline it upon new user registration.

    I agree with a few others that custom titles and other glaringly obvious class divides arn't the way to go and do make regular users feel useless. *cough*TFW2005*cough*

    I'm more for having a page listing the donars instead. Not how much they pay, but just the fact they donated. It's something that lets the e-peen grow, yet not be in the way, and if someone does want to play the elitist card to make themselves feel better during a differing of opinions, then they can go and check it out for themselves.

    As for a google ad mentioned earlier, go for it. But I dunno how well it would work with their ad sense stuff as I don't think there are many australian toy vendors using google ads. I feel a sponsor might be needed. Put to a vote of course on who we think are the best Australian dealers, and right now, there arn't any, best vendors are all in Japan. Actually, maybe stores like toyworld and toykingdom would be good starters if they were interested.

    Personally I don't think this is any different in that it still creates a divide.

    I don't think we need any recognition at all. I mean if 20 of us contributed $10 bucks each, that'd be more than enough to cover the board, from the costing that I've seen Griffin mention here and there. It's like paying your subs for ur footy/cricket club. Keeps the place going and i think its time we lend Griffin a hand out here.

    A very good point. The ranking system does have the flaw of being abused and exploited.

    Do we really need any more appreciation? We're all already welcomed as members of this nice community.

    The feelings in my sub cockles area is none your business Mr Trunks

    BTW I'm with the majority here. I too believe that there is no need for recognition. I feel if you want to contribute then you should PM Griff and sort it out privately.

    I suggested it thinking it was at least better than ranking. But you're right, it does still create a divide. :/

    From this thread we can easily see that many fans are happy to contribute without any extra appreciation. I think we should all be appreciating the board and community, not the other way around.

    I do agree with you. My idea was less harsh than a blatently obvious "reward" system, but overall I do agree that there really should be no visible differences, even custom titles.

    An acknowlegement of recieving the donation (so we know he got it), and a quick thank you from Griffin (through email), is all I'd be happy with.

    I do like the competition idea that Gok mentioned though, but should we make that as part of a list of donars that only Griffin knows, and is kept to emails, and not this board, or just general board wide? Maybe, just maybe, the newsletter can be revived for paying members? Just some ideas that I'm not entirely attached to either way.
