I'm glad I came across this, as I want to grow in my ranks on here, and I've been contemplating how to earn merits or buy a Copper membership and how. So I'm glad I found this, let me make a step. Good luck to Me.
You didn't think you could have a higher rank by paying a small fee, did you?
Let's ask theymos to add a feature like that for newbies who can't earn merits so that they can rank up again after paying a small fee and make the merit system a failure and spam the shit out of this forum again for bounty earnings just like the past, shall we?
Theymos might implement it on 1st April, 2025. He might likely bring back forum advertisement, 50 BTC donation and more. It will be a good experience next year.
