I essentially asked the same thing not to long ago. Since the advertisements suck nowadays I was planning on starting voluntary membership support but of course I'd need an incentive for them to do so.

I didn't think of special templates without ads (great idea) but I did have custom avatars, custom titles and special Galaga shield in mind (I use the Galaga ranking instead of stars). So I need to have a usergroup that overrides the minimum post counts for avatars, titles etc..

This would be a very useful hack in these days of crappy ad rates so we can give visitors the motivation to support your site. We admins all know how much they love that silly stuff like custom avatars, ranks, titles etc etc...
