Ok, lurker here that now feels like the scum of the earth.
I don't know if the code would allow this but I think it would be resonable and help out if there was a personal bandwidth limit daily, or how ever you wanted to divide it up.
I personally am on a 28.8 connection, so I am severly limited by what I can download, maybe 3 or 4 megs a day. Someone with a T1 can easily eat up hundreds of megs a day, and never post a thing.
A person that for the most part just converses back and forth would never reach their limit and users with a certain number of post could be given limit free access.
Another option would just be a plain mandatory donation for EZ access. If every one of those 33,000 people that have less than 10 posts donated just $.25 through paypal, you'd have over $7,500. I'm sure that some would donate more. Why Im sure you dont want to run a pay for porn site, it would pay some of the bills.
Just a few suggestions.
