Buying each other a beer

Wouldn't really work would it?
This site is free to access, & Martin, the owner, wants it that way... so no obligation to give money if not necessary, human nature also dictates most folk would take for nought if going.

For gains on the site then sharing info. for others could reciprocate.

I wouldn't set up a Paypal account to pay to say thanks. I simply wouldn't, and the forum would go down heavily in my estimation if this was brought in. Not that I think there's any chance it will happen, of course ...

Personally, I don't think it is going to happen. Martin wants the site to be free to access and probably wouldn't want users exchanging money related to posts on the site.

It's a good idea on some forums but other forums aren't the type that this could be implemented on.

Also, on a technical issue, I've never heard or seen vBulletin (the forum software) having such a feature built-in, so the webmaster and site developer would need to make a system that interacts with another site, and this isn't easy.
