I have recently hear talk about users being discouraged by sitting in the vast gap between 3k and 10k rep, and by having nothing left to attain after the 10k barrier.
I was wondering if we could solicit the sponsors of various tags to give product offers to people who are above a certain level and have a lot of points in their sponsored tags?
For example, if could we get Red Gate Software to give away a free personal-use-only copy of their profiler to people who have >15k and have a lot of votes in the [.net]
tag?
Could Adobe give away free copies of Flash?
Would Joseph Albahari be willing to give auto-complete to people who have answered in the [linqpad]
or [linq]
tags?
Just an idea...
