Title
Additional Voice Post Purchasing

Short, concise description of the idea
A cost added upgrade for paid and permanent members who need more than twenty voice posts per month.

Full description of the idea
It is possible to purchase more User Icons, and more storage space. In a similar fashion it should be possible to purchase more voice posts.

I see two ways this could be done.

First would be a simple increase in the number of voice posts allowed per month. I would suggest $19.95 per year to double the amount of voice posts. Basically buying a second membership to use its voice post space.

The other way would be for someone to buy a one time bundle of voice posts, that can be used up over time. As an example this could be $20 for 100 voice posts. That way someone could post thirty voice posts in one month using their base twenty, plus ten from their "bank", leaving ninety. Next month they only make fifteen voice posts, under the base usage of twenty, so their bank remains at ninety. The month after that, they make forty-five, knocking their bank down to fifty-five.
