Featured users.

I have a proposal: "Featured Users" - which this can be messed around with, Featured Users who users who have done something to help the community - whether it be donating, or winning a contest. They should be recognized - not as a colored name - but on the front page and perhaps somewhere on the Community and Members page. Mess with it - if you want, you could be an organized person: "Donators" "Contributors" "Contest Winners" however you feel, I feel featured users could be a temporary to permanent thing, depending on the site and what not.
