First Class membership
Suggestion:
Turn on the "subscriptions" feature of vBulletin and add a First Class membership. Set the payment to Paypal and charge $40-60 per year for this membership.
Give First Class members a separate skin without ads and some stupid "First Class member" logo on their profiles. Maybe turn on the profile pictures also. A separate First Class forum is also a possibility.
It's a great way for members to say "thank you".

Before we pass you on to the links, there is one more item that needs to be addressed, and it has to do with rumors swirling about something called FlyerTalk/Free.
No, this has nothing to do with taking the caffeine or sugar out of FlyerTalk. It seems some people have gotten it into their heads that FT will soon be coming out with an ad-free option that would be available to all members. Well, here's the truth of it -- those people are absolutely correct.
Look for more news in the coming weeks and days.
