How's the Souk doing?
I'd really like to know...because I suppose the future of the site may depend on it?
I haven't bought anything yet, because I don't find the merchandise terribly compelling. But I'm open to the idea of paying a membership sub. At the moment the status of a member is a tad confused - anyone who registers and posts a forum topic is described in the Author field as a new member, or traveller, or whatever. This is irrespective of whether that person has paid for membership or gold membership in the Souk. I'm sure you've thought of this but been prevented by cost or technology from doing it...but what if one's Souk membership status was flagged in the Author field? The resultant peer pressure might encourage the heavier forum users (like me) to take out Gold membership - which seems fair, as these are the people who get the most out of the site.
If you do go down this road, you might also get requests to publish the site's finances in the manner of a member's club. I don't know how you feel about this?
Good luck with the Souk - I would hate to see the site disappear for lack of funds.
