It depends on the nature of the community, I'll use SF and HF as an example.
On HF the VIP upgrades are so popular mainly because of the privileges user name change, custom title, more rep points, cool user name colour, the group image. It's also because of the VIP sections such as the porn sections and the free services for vip's.
If SF was to open a VIP group, I seriously wouldn't expect much more than +/- 2 reputation points and a VIP chat section and a user bar. I think most of the members like me would simply like to help fund this wonderful forum, I know I would.
Also I wouldn't open a VIP section until I had a good solid base of activity and members willing to make the purchase.
However, Joink. Thanks for the suggestion buddy, it's good to hear some first impressions from a new member.
