Sounds an awful lot like the TotalFark model (and userbase attitude) that's been around for years... probably a lot of crossover there as well.

- kn0thing 15y agoDefinitely. I'd been chatting with Drew about lessons learned from TotalFark for quite some time before Gold.
- raldi 15y agoProps to the guy I'm replying to, for cultivating a community that was receptive to crazy ideas like this.
- _delirium 15y agoSomethingAwful has had something like that since the early 2000s as well, with some things being purely status, like paying an extra $10 to get a bigger avatar image. Also introduced as a (successful) solution to their previous lack of success monetizing via ads. (I believe, at least for a while, you could also change someone else's avatar for something like $20 or $30, and they could pay some similar amount to insure it against changes.)
