haha... i intend to soon, just gotta get around to it. Gotta dig up the ol' paypal information :p.
I talked to some really smart people and one of them said to write/use an API and have it append the files together. He doesnt know how well it will scale though, which is the 2nd problem. 100 some members in a 1-2 months isn't bad. It's nice that you have some much content so quickly.
Idea to keep people coming back: A newsletter or something, every 2-4 weeks etc. Its nice to have a little reminder once in awhile (alot of times i go somewhere and think, this is a really cool site and just forget about it from the daily hustle and bustle), or maybe some sort of system that could email a user when new files are uploaded to the system in a category/genre he is interested.
I'm pretty sure php-nuke has built in newsletter... Doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a nice little reminder to come back to the site.
Do you work at a company, or from home. Ever checked out rentacoder.com? Its a neat little place, but alot of programmers from 3rd world countries/smaller countries that are doing work extremely cheap so its hard to compete with.
