Sounds good. I'll throw in some cash for a legitimate t-shirt if we can get them produced.
Last year at Bonnaroo I was asked hundreds of times - "What is shroomy.org?" heh...hand made shirts don't work too well when people are that out of their mind.

- SSL Encrypted Connections
Connect to the main page and forums via SSL using your current username and password. - Advanced Image Manipulation
Ability to turn off all offsite images (security) Ability to load all images through Coral Cache (hide your IP from the image server) - Special discounts for Shroomery Merchandise
Receive a 10% discount on future Shroomery merchandise - "Shroomery Supporter" status under your name
Special "S" flag similar to "M" and "A" flags for mods and admins - Maximum Upload Increase
Maximum upload changed to 5 MB per day - Personalized username@shroomery.org email address
User friendly secure web based client. pop3/smtp/imap support - Access to the Shroomery supporter forum
- Custom Username Colors
Select a custom color or gradient for your displayed username
Depending on interest in the supporter program, we may be adding encrypted private messages (with PGP key support) and user-created forums in the future. We're also very interested in any suggestions from users and we'll try to implement as many as we can. Peace, -Y

If an admin or a mod becomes a supporter, they lose the mod or admin tag eh?

I'm all for being a shroomery supporter and $5/month isn't so bad considering the wealth of knowledge I've received from this place and the ongoing camaraderie I share with other members, but...
I think the colored name and the "S" flag might be a bad idea. Notice I'm just saying it might be. Ya see, in most online forum communities I've been a part of your reg date was what established your worth in the community. It was a hierarchy of respect and those who had been members since near conception were always arrogant and displayed an air of "I'm better than you" to everyone else.
I don't see that here at the shroomery though. Someone can join today and be just as accepted and valued for what they say as someone with a reg date of 5 years ago. I don't want to see this change. I don't want to see those people with that nifty supporter flag by their colored name begin to act as if they are better than anyone else because they are a supporter. Do you see where I'm coming from with this? Like I said before, I'd love to be a shroomery supporter myself and I think all the other additions are wonderful. I also pride myself in having good foresight and I see this one small change bringing about a whole new "feel" to the community as a whole. I would hope that it doesn't happen but I just want to voice my concerns so at least if/when the shroomery does change, I can have a clear conscience in knowing that I shared with you what I saw to be something that could potentially cause a problem.
Thanks for your time. 13eetleJuice

We are still working that out actually. Admins keep their A flag.. Mods while in a forum they mod have the S flag replaced with the M flag.. A and M override. We may just stack them so life is less confusing.

We will be using paypal while we finishing setup of other methods. I know a lot of people will not like that but it is a temporary solution. I'm sure we can work out other means such as money orders.

that and I can only read the first 2 letters of baraka and Vamps name is equally hard to see with my colour scheme (deluvian blue) This is just going to mean I will have to highlight each supporter's name to see who they are if they usea gradient that approaches black 
With mods and admins, i've just memorized who has what avatar but if this is widespead, it's definately a dissincentive to stick around for too long (I need black background for low contrast... my eyes! my eyes! ) I know you understand what I'm getting at
