Sponsorship Perks?

[Imperial]

Hey everyone,

The sponsorship program just launched up, so I'm looking for additional suggestions for some bonus perks for giving back. The big ones are easy. Special designation as a sponsor, the bonus forum, enhanced forum privileges. So what else would you want to see added, within reason of course? What would encourage you to part with $12 in exchange for a year?

I think we get enough as is.

It wouldn't be a show of good faith to donate to the site, if we only did it for perks.

* 1000 pm Limit

* Private Lounge

* Gold Embossed name

* Sponsor Tag

Seems pretty good to me

While this is true, I know some people don't wish to part with their money, even for things that they enjoy. Things like an embossed name or rank image are small gestures of appreciation & a form of reciprocity for those who give. XN gives them something back :)

Well, I don't know what to say beyond this:

* Sponsorship is supposed to be a show of good faith to a cause. Having to bribe people to help sponsor (while completely legit) kind of takes away from what it means to be a sponsor.

That being said:

1) The ability to delete my own posts would be a neat addition.

2) Larger sig size limit

These are some possible additions that might entice people to donate.

Sponsors can already delete their own posts & threads.

Signature size limit (in pixels) is in place to keep the signatures from affecting the HTML output you see in your browser. Lot of people use a 1024x768 display, so signatures exceeding 525 pixels push out the post table, resulting in horizontal scrolling. You'll notice this on any page that has images that are too large for the table.

I can start putting together some exclusive videos or comics or something
