My suggestion was only going to be about member of the month, but gift subscriptions seemed to tie in nicely too. I was mainly wondering if the award was ever going to return (I think the last one was April 2010) as there are more than a few users who I think have deserved it for their genuinely helpful and positive posts. If the answer tuns out to be no, this leads me swiftly to my next point…
…is there any chance there could be a gift subscription feature set up? It's available on another forum I use as a paid subscriber, and it was a great way of rewarding people who otherwise wouldn't have been able to use the premiere areas - particularly younger users without access to PayPal or credit/debit cards. Being able to do it anonymously and perhaps with options for three and/or six months would probably make people more likely to use it, and people who are given subscriptions may end up extending it with their own money, which is great for the site as a whole.
Just a few thoughts!
