Copper Membership is like, what, $10-$20? Hardly a money spinner so there's probably not much that can even be done with it. It theymos wanted to monetise the forum better he could do so in a multitude of ways. You could have more ad slots (which he seems to be against) and also implement more donator ranks like Silver and Gold membership which would come with the benefits of things that come along with being a Full and Hero member (avatar and bigger sig more specifically). You could charge a premium for those (hundreds of dollars) and I'm sure they would be both very popular and a huge source of income for the forum. As theymos has said before, the forum doesn't seem to need money, but that probably won't last forever and the money could be used to fund worthwhile projects instead or even just 100% given to charity. I think more donator ranks are something we should consider because it would pretty much eradicate account farming and account sales and also severely curb merit buying because most will just buy the rank rather than go though the shady and scammy process of buying merit (or accounts) where most people just get scammed anyway.
Pretty much what i meant with second post, but with explanation too
thank you for that!
