Merch and other benefits can be added down the road. I think starting small and growing would be the best option here to avoid sticker shock for a forum that's been free for a decade now.

I'm willing to help and support in any way.
I think the username flair for NIL will further divide this forum. There's enough ad hominem on this board already. I have to wade through too many narcissists attacking other users already. It will only make it worse when some users have them and some users don't.

The AMAs with players you mention on a separate forum would be a good incentive. All it takes is the player's time and ingratiates them further to the fanbase in the process.
