Have read many threads lately regarding people who seem to think the site should be free and then complain when their 50Mb cap is reached. It seems appropriate to remind new members their status is temporary, and encourage them to become full paying members. One suggestion is their title be altered to something like 'Registered Guest' or similar, to separate them from the large number of decent Citizens who have paid their dues. New members should also be made more aware of the benefits of full membership. People who go away disappointed or disillusioned are members lost.
Not every one is a pc or internet expert. Another suggestion would be to have more links to the FAQ. It should appear on every page in a prominent position. Most questions on the message board are from people who haven't noticed the FAQ. At the least it should be made easier to see.
A positive attitude will ensure the site grows in the right way with a higher proportion of paying members. It should be the ambition of all new members to become a Citizen, and the ambition of all Citizens to encourage new members. A healthy well funded site benefits everyone.

Every word that you said was excellent, and i hope that the powers that be adopt your suggestions.
