I've gotten a couple inquiries regarding this, and I've discussed it with the mods of Big Brother since, but how would people feel if there was an option to get rid of the ads through donating to YWS? The way it'd work is removing the ads for one month would be $5, for three months $10, for six months $20, and for a year $40. Of course, this would really just be a "thank you for donating" type of deal.
Previous donations would be taken into account and doubled. So if you donated $10 at any point prior to this post, that'd be counted as $20, which would mean six months of no ads. Any donation over $50 (prior to this post) would be treated as a lifetime of no ads.
As part of this, any person who has donated to YWS would receive recognition through a supporter badge (a bit longer and thinner than the current badges, and situated below one's avatar). The badge would be permanent, and would even have "levels" on it. So someone who donated $5 would be a "Lvl. 1 Supporter" and someone who donated $50 would be a "Lvl. 10 Supporter."
Beyond that, nothing else special. This would be a supporter rewards type program, rather than any sort of premium membership where only premium members get certain features or obtain access to certain areas. In fact, I wouldn't even be part of it!
Sound good?
