I agree with Dan, I think we should have a membership fee instead, and
we can give up something like a t-shirt or a pin as an incentive for
every member that sign up, maybe also have a sponsor page, with
different levels in which people that donate are profiled, if you donate
$50 you become a "Geocaching Friend" while $100 make you a "GeoBuddy"...
:)
Cheers !
