Think of it this way. There are 12,000+ members. We have 50 (give or take) that come and post here daily. Now, out of all 12,000 who still come here and post. Who has more then 100 posts. And who would even be interested? I mean sure this forum it great and all, but the thing is, we just come here to help, and talk. I mean this isn't a company. I know hes trying to make money, but this sounds more like money in his pocket. Rather then a donatation for the site. Although, I dont know what you were trying to make this...
But still their arnt enough regulars for this to be effective.
But just an idea, who ever did do this, should get custom avatar, because they are obviously loyal to the site. And I dont think bandwidth is an issue...
