Time to update the OP? for example Sub-ranks :
10 BTC for Donator and 50 BTC for VIP. As much as i love this forum i am sure not many are willing to donate 10,000 USD-50,000 USD. i would love to donate and help out if the VIP and Donator were more resonable

Theymos assured the original donators that the prices won't be reduced. And the forum is able to manage pretty well with the ad revenue these days.
The prices won't be reduced. They may be increased if the BTC price gets really low. Additional lower-price statuses may be created later. I don't want to manually deal with too many payments, though.
