It would be nice if the paid members get additional features, but I agree that some wouldn't want it publicized that they were paid members. Maybe an option to choose to show if you were a premium member or not. Alot of us who have been around for a while would like others to know we support the site.

Do something like Avast or Adaware where you get more services for your premium account without taking anything away from the regular accounts...and make the carrot big enough to attract people. Things like additional PM's, access to some new restricted site areas (kind of like guests not getting into the off topic area or needing 50 posts for the bargain trader currently), or automatically blocking Hibby's picture if he posts it again.
