AnG and I have been discussing ways to make this site better. I don't know if any of you are familiar with the minitokyo site, but they have a privilige policy where people with a high "level" are able to have certain priviliges others do not. I think some of that is a little elitist, but giving members incentive to post might be a good thing.
So far, the best thing I can thing of, though it copies minitokyo, is an archive of the best wallpapers we can find. *Star* members, or whatever we decide to call them would have access to this archive. People can submit them in email form to the mods and admins, and then the best go up on a site we will maintain. I have a billion of cool wallpapers, so to me, this idea rocks.
Also, we were thinking an even bigger draw would be to have a full manga online somewhere where members would be able to access it and download it. We could do a weekly vote on what people would like us to put up, and rotate it weekly. Maybe even have a discussion board like a book club, where everyone reads the manga within the week and discusses it. Maybe I have been watching too much Oprah. But it is an idea.
I know it's easy to get a lot of manga online, but I have always found it easier to use a direct download site rather than deal with disconnects, transfer speeds, and other problems that arise in p2p transfers. We, of course, have a free forum at the moment, so we would only be able to put up a few chapters a week, but still.
I think all current, active members should be *Star* members for sticking around this long, but if we draw enough of a crowd, we can implement the idea. As it is, what do you think?

I'll keep doing promoting, now that I have a regular connection to the internet for use.
