There would probably be grateful Mahalo members if you could give them a few Mahalo bucks to get them over the top.

See the question below - ask them to submit a few lines. I suggest making available M$1, M$2, M$3 so the ones who just need a little can make it.

It's your decision, really. If I were in your situation I would have to first decide if I would want to build it up for bigger things, or help someone else out on the site to surpass the M$150 before the new changes. I, personally, would probably go the route to saving it up for bigger things. For instance, with the new system that is going to be incorporated you can still utilize the Mahalo Store with Mahalo $, and Mahalo Answers will still net you Mahalo $ when being selected for best answer. So, you can help out others with their problems by answering questions you can give good answers to and recieve tips to increase your sum. Meanwhile, when you have a question extend the same courtesy of giving an above the given .10$ tip, which will net you overall more in-depth answers also. Which in turn is practicing general economics, the more money that is given, the more money that is spent and added to the pool. When you have reached your desired amount you can utilize the Mahalo Store: And do whatever you want with your earned Mahalo Dollars whether it be donating your money to your choice of charities presented, buying mahalo merchandise which in turn will give Mahalo free advertising through you and give the money back to the community, or buy yourself a gift (Ipad, Ipod, Giftcards, ect.). All are possibilities, and will require extensive use of the site to obtain.
