Agreed, thanks for taking the time to reply Titus. Always nice to see ownership involved in these things.

Your solution to start taxing the members is not the answer to get cheaper fees for sponsors.

Your logic is flawed my friend.
Relating sponsorship to cost requires a quantity variable, in this case membership. Reefcentral has 289,000 members, Canreef has 9600 therefor by your logic a Canreef sponsorship should cost around $206.00/ year.
You also brandished me by inserting the word "Tax" into my mouth, please reread my statement at no time have I suggested a mandatory payment to all members.

By all means this wouldn't be a "pay or get lost" thing, just give general members the option to "support" canreef. Paying members could get a little avatar indicating they have personally contributed.
Just my 2 cents.

As for the effect, if the site is bringing in revenue from paying members how could that not go to offset the cost of paying sponsors?
