That site should have a paid function even if it was just $1 a month for "approved" users to cut back on spam. And like you said, a sticky post for 24 hours in some section in the bigger cities would sell for tons of money. Even google ad words on side of the page would make a lot of money. I never understood why subtle things like that weren't added, what a waste of revenue. Seems so sac-religious.

There was an interview on WMR, NPR or something a few years back. Apparently he is making so much money as it is now, he has no interest in 'ruining the experience'. The interviewer brought up some of the same points, about sky's the limit.
