Adding the new area costs nothing and it makes the donations/payers feel like they have got something for their money ....

just an idea
agree with the above , i have been on a few forums to that have basic limited sections for those guys that are just browsing and not actually paid members who can access the site.

i think this would be a good idea even if it was a fiver for a year to become a full member of oople to use its services.

it would help with the site speed at night and stop all the free romours out there.

As for donations ill be in. await paypal address..
