Title:
Display the number of users who've been sponsored

Area:
shop

Summary:
I think it could be nice to see how many users got paid time thanks to the sponsor-a-free-user program - if this programs works; if it doesn't do so well maybe it'd be better not to mention it. :/

Description:
Maybe a message when you've finished buying saying the total number of sponsored users is now of... or in the case someone got sponsored several times something like "you've increased the number of times paid time has been gifted to xxx".

It would be quite cool to see some kind of stats on this, though it would have to be general enough not to trip privacy concerns. How about adding it to the overall site stats page, somewhere near the numbers of free and paid accounts - just add a subcategory of paid saying "paid for by gift-a-random-user"?

I thought of this and sure, why not, but stats is not a page I read frequently and I think it would be nice to also have it on the shop pages themselves as some kind of thank-you message once you've purchased the paid time.

Yeah, having it in both places would be cool.
