In other words, it would be fair to have the VIP price come down and to have some kind of a peg to dollar value rather than staying at 50 BTC which is outrageous at this point to expect any mere mortal to be ready, willing or able to pay that amount for forum VIP status.
I'd say VIPs and Donators are just "relics from the past". No sane person will buy it anymore, and the ones who have it will eventually stop posting (within the next 100 years for sure).
We never know

If in 2017, the forum received last transaction from
Claymore for a donator badge, we might see others in future. As observers, we can think it is insane but in reality, services charge fee on customers by specific input coin. If the input coin is Bitcoin, fee will be in Bitcoin and there is no harm for them to donate in Bitcoin. Like ChipMixer, there is no harm if they donate 10 Bitcoin and have a donator badge.
Thanks to Claymore, the first Donator in quite some time.
