Talking In order to keep X5 World going, do we need an inner circle?

Just kidding!

Actually we have contemplated something along these lines, whereby contributing members will get additional perks such as more web space for gallery photos, a custom title (founders club?), an xoutpost.com email address with web access and POP access, etc....

Other thoughts and ideas are most welcome on this. I don't want people to feel like that they have to donate. Contributing knowledge and friendship is more important to me. But by the same token I also believe there should be some sort of recognition/reward for those that do financially support the site and help keep the bills paid

Always a good thing to do. I am one of the administrators of a large forum. We have quite a few perks that we offer users. Web mail, files space as well as specialty areas always make users feel "part of the family!"

Hmmm...this would seem like a good topic. I would be totally up for donating to this site. But at the same time I think Jeff brings up a good point. It is much more important to have a contribution of knowledge and friends. After all these are the things that make this board shine compared to others...But that is not to say that creating an inner circle is a bad thing. I believe that the current members of this board would have no problem donating...after all it is to a good cause...well just my personal thoughts anyways.

Well, I donated for two reasons:

1. I felt it was important to help support the site.
2. I have NO other contribution to make. I have literally NO knowledge (X5-related, or otherwise, for that matter) to bring to this table; I have, however, TAKEN a lot of knowledge. So, I felt I should contribute financially.

How about moding vBulletin so that once a user donates his/her username color changes! (I.E Donated members nicks are in orange, or something like that) or add a rank to the avatar. Simple mods yet quite effective.... just my 2c worth!

I have a vast server, which was just upgraded. It's a dual Xeon 3.06 GHZ with a gig of RAM, 600GB of monthly bandwidth, and a 40GB HD.

If X5world ever needs to spill over its brim, I can host anything for free. There's already a member here on X5world (http://car.dsindustries.com) to whom I have granted free hosting.

If the need ever arises, simply shout out.
