What are some incentives you offer for a supporter on a forum?

[Shortie]

I am currently working on a forum I wish to open up in a few weeks' time and I have been thinking of incentives to offer people who wish to support the forum in a financial way. At the moment the forum in question will not have any kind of paid addons from the start and it will be pretty basic from the start. Due to this, I am looking at incentives that I can give that will be possible on a forum that is pretty basic with very few add-ons to be able to offer more at the moment.

Do you offer a supporter status on your forums that you give to people who help the forum financially?

Generally speaking, I use free resources to build a forum. I don't pay for add-ons or templates. However, I need content. I don't hire content creators on regularm basis but I frequently hire content creators. I don't offer a great cash payment but I don't make them work for free.
