"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
If additional revenue is the problem, address that with additional services or goods. I would be very wary of messing with the structure of the forum as it now stands.
My sentiments exactly.
As for the real name thing, I don't know of a single other "open site for enthusiasts" that requires you to use your real name. The idea of knowing your trading partner has been surfaced. Usually you learn the identity of your internet trading partner AFTER a deal has been struck, and this happens in a private mode. This is sufficient. I don't have any need to know the real name of people I am not trading with.
I don't think a single good reason for forcing real names has been identified.
