Wow, yes! I'm very pleased with this discussion.
I think that flagging profiles is an excellent idea. I also think that the referral program is a great idea.
OK, that's it! I hereby declare that, aside from hamsteries and other advertisement-related things, we will never charge Hamster Central users for anything. We'll rely on creativity and the HC community to support the site through increasing traffic through the site.
Our vision of the new HC was that it would be very fun and community based. For the profiles, we wanted a lot of upgrades, insignias, and little extra bonuses that people could obtain to enhance their profiles and make them stand out. We'll be true to that vision by using the referral program idea, some contest ideas that I have in mind, and other things.
When I get a chance in the near future, I will put together a concrete idea and try to implement these things.
