Gold Membership

[mcshed]

So given there are lots of people who use this site but who aren't paying Gold Members I thought it'd be interesting to see why/raise the issue in case people aren't aware.

For me it's a combination of being used to the internet being free and being lazy when I start to think I should contribute. Maybe after next pay day.

Go Gold

It really isn't a lot to ask for what we get from this site.

And Neil is so non-beggy too.

As Tom says, Go Gold!

I used to be a loser.

Since I became a Gold member I now get all the girls!

I'm loving that someone thinks that having an opinion is beyond the pale. 

It must be because they're a live and let live type.

And of course nothing to do with them wanting to excuse their desire of something for nothing.

I'm such a fan of the gold membership I paid for it twice this year

Last time this came up it was apparent that a lot of people didn't understand what a gold member was and thought it was an award for number of posts or something like that

I'm a new gold member. Really glad I upgraded. The no adverts makes the site much easier to use and I like being able to see who up and down voted. 

I'd also really like this site to keep going long term and be here until the 50th anniversary and beyond

I like the 'Gold Members only' efest's meet with the finest wines. And the key to the executive toilet.

Thanks. 20 years isn't so far away for efests, and there can't be very many online-only businesses which have been around as long. It's the longest running festie website by a very very VERY long way.

PS: not sure I'll still be kicking in another 30 years tho

I paid for Gold for the first time after last years festival. I've been lurking on these forums for years and decided to get more involved so my payment was twofold; a) to show my appreciation of the value I've already gained (and will continue to gain) and b)' to encourage myself to join in more.

I am a gold member but at times on I'm here a lot (like just before the festival) I try to remember to send the odd donation using the link at the bottom of the page. I pay regularly for Netflix, Guardian membership etc. I think it's only fair to contribute to a site I get so much from.

Happy to support the site, going Gold has made it much easier to use.

I'm not really that observant so didn't realise it was even a thing!!! How do you go about becoming a good member?

£18 a year isn't very much at all when I consider the amount of time I spend on the site and all the info I've obtained from everyone on it. 

[blue6field]

Been very happy to pay the gold membership for the last few years.

not attending this years Glastonbury but still dip in and out of the conversations occasionally. Great site!

Me too.  I pay for the @SecretGlasto account on here simply so the secret sets thread can be edited for a bit longer.  It's worth it for the speed.  So, so much faster without the ads.  Go gold folks, you won't regret it!

[Kay95]

just upgraded. thanks for the nudge, it was about time

[The Clearest Blue]

Upgraded, to be honest to get rid of the ads, I should have done it sooner.
