I think this causes the problem that we are having right now. By doing this the post don't get cycled though and contributing buyers get penalised by this. People get the impression that the ones in the beginning are the trusted. Some of the buyers offer great service to the forum members in the way of buying large amounts while others offer information, and some do both. If the buyers aren't contributing to the forum than charging them a fee to bump there thread so you know they are serious I can see. Or a fee to bump if you thread gets stale, but to every one seems its to make the forum more money with surcharges and hidden fees.
Also imposing a bump fee after you buy your lifetime subscription (expires in 2038) to the forum seems less than transparent. this was not nor is not discussed in the terms of service or in the disclaimer and guideline sections.
