I’ve added a “Pay it Forward” program to the Members Gallery. It basically allows you to purchase a 1, 2 or 3 years renewal for a complete stranger. The user is picked at random (only users with less than a year remaining are eligible) and an email is sent to them with a notice that their account has been renewed. I’ve even lowered the renewal prices by a few dollars to make things a little more interesting.
No information about the buyer is given to the recipient, and no information about the recipient is given to the buyer (though each is welcome to make a post in my “Pay it Forward” comments thread). So watch your emails folks, you just might be the recipient of a random act of kindness. If so, I hope you will consider paying it forward.
