By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.
We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.
In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

For what its worth I'd pay more than zero but less than "not very much" to gain control over where vlm@dev.soylentnews.org and/or http://vlm.dev.soylentnews.org/ [dev.soylentnews.org] forward to. You want to charge enough to not front for spammers, however. Maybe on a delay or only up while $karma > 0 && $subscription_paid_up == "Y" or whatever. Or for the total noobs $karma > 0 && $subscription_paid_up = "Y".

Following up on that... how about a small charge for username@solyentnews.org email forwarding (or even better on-site secure (web-)email at mail.dev.soylentnews.org) ?
