Something nominal, like $5 for life.
Adds some value to the memership and lessens your likihood to do anything that would get you banned. Your money would go toward vB licensing and server costs.
Thoughts?

Not a bad idea, but will stir a bunch of unneccesary outrage among some people.
How about this:
Instead of just letting people register with any old e-mail address, have people fill out an application of sorts to join up. Ask them how long they've been 'lurking', what their favorite forums and sub-forums are, what their favorite/least favorite Tool songs are(like in the profile). Wouldn't have to be anything lengthy, but enough effort and questions to make it more time consuming to register here. That way, maybe some of the people making aliases will either get sick of filling out a questionare/application, or just not get some percentage of their aliases approved for membership on the grounds that they gave short non-caring answers.
How's that? A combo of ideas from all different people could probably tune this idea up a little bit.
