Financial Member Tag

Hi,
Is it possible to have a tag denoting if you're a financial member of Toymods?
There are currently tags for "I support Toymods" and now there is "On Probation".
With all this talk of the forums being gummed up with schoolies and other crap, would it not be beneficial to see that someone who is posting a question, or replying to a post, is a current member of Toymods?
I know it doesn't stop stupidity, but at least it signifies this person has paid their membership and, in so far as financial input to keep the club going, they're doing their bit. It shows they have more than a casual interest in Toymods, it's board, it's rules and anything else associated with the running of the club.

I've always wanted to do this, but baulked at the amount of effort it would take to maintain it.
Since Josh can now do this, we could spread the load (was previously only Sam and I), so the idea has merit.
I'd like to see a tag that said something like:
Member #10 (1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004) <- That's me! hehe
It could grow unmanagable but I think the tag should contain all that information.

This is one of the reason's why we are going to vote on making changes to the membership and renewal forms at the AGM. Currently we don't really have a way of connecting forum usernames to real names. Sure I know a lot of the members forum names but if we are going to do it it has to be available to all members not just the ones I notice.
The new membership and renewal forms include a section to write in your forum username so we can put a tag under the avatar. I had thought about having a thread for people to post their real name and membership number in but the fact that this info is already listed on the site has potential for fudging.
Most likely it will be something along the lines of "Toymods Car Club Member #66".

Hi,
I think they're around the 300 mark at the moment, so you've got a bit of a wait.
Maybe there are gaps in the older member numbers. People who joined a few years ago and never renewed, and these numbers maybe vacant. You should see if #69 is available.

We're in the 290's as far as I know. The older numbers' don't become available when they don't renew though, they're kept by the member and if that member shooses to renew in the future they keep the same number.
I printed labels for the AGM printout and noticed my name was on the first page of 10 labels and my membership number is 66.

You can ask the Stitt about it, he runs the membership side of things.
I don't think he'll be very keen on giving out random numbers though as it make it a pain in the butt to look after.
