On another forum I am involved in we offer what is called a silver star, and it gets you this:

- Silver Star next to your username, showing you are a financial supporter
- Animated avatars
- Unlimited Attachment directory
- PM limit of 500
- Ability to personalize your User Title
- Option to "hide" online

Its $25/yr and we have about 700 members who pay annually. You pay via PayPal and it runs for 365 days from payment date. The vBulletin software allows for more features and functions than these, but its a way for users to get system-level benefits for their annual contribution instead of it just being a "donation." This typically gets more support for the forum owner than just asking people to chip in.
