We should have a Top 20 (or 30,40, etc)" list of most real money won by members.

If this list was posted on the front page of the site, while pointing out that a Premium membership doubles the payout, I think our Premium Membership base would greatly improve.

I can't see this doing anything other than furthering site improvements. Everyone thinking of buying a premium membership probably would after totalling up the thousands the site has paid if made easibly viewable.

I think B_Goetz might be commiting tax fraud by not claiming this site as his second income, so I won't want to blow his cover.

I'd say roughly $500 or so. Had he been premium that number would be closer to $900.

I was on the site so much I felt guilty not giving them something. But really it is worth every penny.

If i win somethings that probably what i'd do ...too bad i'll never win anything..I'm decent in both leagues but I never seem to get close to winning, closest i've gotten was 2nd in points from DREAM.

I think this is an excllent idea and whatever Mod reading this should run it by the others. 100% Win/Win situation.

I don't personally agree with that. I don't like telling people how to spend their money. Granted, if you win it once and are consistantly in the top of the heap, it only makes sense to drop a little bit and potentially double your winnings, but that should be up to the winner, not us.

I'm honestly surpised more people don't sign up at the end of seasons when they're in the top ten or twenty in earnings or points. You're already in contention for $500, so why not drop the couple bucks incase you hit it and get the additional $500?
