While there are no dues or fees for membership at El Camino
Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Given: The site has been successful generating support to some degree largely with the simple enticement of having a graphic "rank" awarded that shows in your signature block. There are obviously other motivations, but clearly "rank" has been effective.
Also given: There is a general resistence to forcing someone to provide information against their will. Most Americans would even protest an effort to make them take a daily vitamin.
Ok, how about earning the wrenches by completing certain Profile fields? Possibly the wrenches would mean a little more if you have to partially complete your Profile to get them? Until you do, you get what you merit - question marks or whatever graphic you think appropriate. ????? could be as high as you go without a Profile - unless you donate that is.
There may be a programming or other obstacle to this which I'm not aware, but I'm just trying to present solutions. Whatcha think?
Take care. _________________ 84 Elky GTA
