if the site has too many users, having a moderator with links to
faqs or answered questions makes more sense than doing superchats.

I don't even know why I posted that comment - I'm the guy here
pushing back in the past every time someone says "I would gladly
pay more for _____ on this site." It's not that it's super
expensive, it's just death by a thousand papercuts these days with
everything pushing towards subscription models. Even X
profiles are now trying to charge people on a monthly basis for the
privilege of reading their posts. It all adds up.
Remember back in the day when you could buy a forever version
of charting software, MS Office, etc? Not anymore. Everything is
subscription. Just found out that in order to remote start my
almost year old truck, I need to start paying $8 per month...the
subscription was only comped in the 1st year. It's out of
control.

Now Toyota is in the game. I'd tell them to go fly a kite, but when it's snowing there's nothing better than remote start!
