I don't like how you need someone's password in order to give them membership.. You can't really trust anyone on the internet when it comes to your password. So I suggest that you guys should implement a "Give Someone A Membership" button. When you click on it, it brings you to a page with the default payment options + a name input to put the receiver's name. When the person buys it, it gives them a code. After that, they email/IM/whisper across BC the code. Then the other player who received the code does this:
1. Logs in to the website
2. Clicks "Membership"
3. Clicks the button "Got A Membership Code? Redeem It Here!"
4. Copy+Pastes/Writes down manually the code
5. Clicks Redeem, says "Your membership code was successfully redeemed!" if it is fake/wrong, it ends up saying "Your membership code was invalid. Try again?" Try again would lead to a link back to redeeming page.
If they give the membership to someone else other than the person that was SUPPOSED to be given the code, the "someone else" uses the code, but it says "This code belongs to ------. You cannot use it.". If the OTHER person that was SUPPOSED to be given the code uses it, then it will be successful.
So, anyone agree with me? Cause I think this would be GREAT.

your sig quote.. CREATURES FTW!
totally agree to this...
and the codes couldn't be stolen by other people to get free membership either :$
make it so you input the ign of the person your giving it to too or something? :/

If someone steals your code, then you gave it to them.
Just make it like a 8 - 12 digit code from a - z A - Z 1 - 9
still make it more secure. people are stupid.

+1 ;D great idea
Get to work kenny :-*
still, i can't believe the community never thought of something this simple.. i mean like, MINECRAFT uses the same thing for people who want to give their friends minecraft!
Wow. You wrote the exact same thing it says on minecraft AND GUESS WHAT SURGEY I PLAY ON MERCS SERVER :O :O :O?
where would we get the codes? would kenny generate some and give them out to those who bought one?
It would have to randomly generate a code, and register the code as valid.
idk
might be a little complicated ;o

i've also modified the scripts to add time to the membership if someone buys someone else membership who already has it.
