The difference between Bonus Mods and all the other mods, is in a few days the regular mods will be available again. I guess if someone cannot afford $1 a month, they can afford to wait 4 days.
Yeah, I don't like to do this, but we have essentially 300 people paying 100% of the costs associated with the site, forums, server, tech fees... and 95,000 people enjoying it. Last year the fundraiser was successful, it raised more $$ than I needed, which will go in with this year's more modest returns to manage 2015.
PS: I cleaned out 10,000 accounts last weekend, accounts where the user had 0 posts, and had not been on the site in the last 4 years. I might roll out another purge soon, and drop the roll to ~75,000 users who have logged in at least once in the last 3 years.
