Charge a membership fee for upgraded GFY VIP Membership that allows Search ability and possibly other future features (private areas, marketplace). But other perks don't matter, Search does. Perhaps $15-$25 a year. This will help alleviate the cost of maintaining gfy functionality and hiring more silicon valley techies. GFY would still function normally so people who don't pay won't notice a difference. The Search feature is a vital resource we'll all use everyday so I don't mind paying to make sure it always works. Other forums successfully charge membership fees, GFY should too.
Plus all VIPs could get an exclusive sig / tagline that reads: "GFY VIP MEMBER" (obviously not important). You can give free memberships to people who have earned it (high or quality post counts) or deserve it. I'll be the first one to pay for it.
If you decide to do it, please put all signups under my affliate id.
