I don't get is why people are hostile to bought golds. - General

It helps the forum, which has been constantly having server issues and clearly Garry doesn't see enough profit from the site to maintain it (he removed media tags to save bandwidth, it's obvious the site is worthless to him). I almost feel (not really) that he only keeps it up to avoid a sea of spam and hate mail, and because he has kept it up all this time. TBH this site needs allot of fixing

Elitism.

Because they are too impatient to wait and get it naturally.

[QUOTE=nimaratu;34911304]Because they are too impatient to wait and get it naturally.[/QUOTE] Well the fact that that banner is basically Garry's way of begging people to do buy it, I think Garry always wanted people to buy it.

Because [sp]FUCK THE RULES[/sp]

it originated the same way the "my dick is bigger than your dick" thing started

Well I still think FP needs to get a better revenue system.

Because most of the golds are scared that their threads will become utter shit if "new people" join which is quite ironic.

scrubes pay for gold i had to work for!!!! Or simply put it, the people that bitch about it are idiots.

It's simply because they're mad that we're richer than them! not really it's just elitism :v:

I'd wait till i get it totally legitime and then facepunch permabans me for trolling.

Garrys secret service, they go on missions all the time and any money stolen or 'earned' is shared between all the gold members, the more Gold members, the less money simple

Because people who buy gold membership are fucking losers.

Because they wasted money on something completely useless

[QUOTE=clockroach;34911932]Because people who buy gold membership are fucking losers.[/QUOTE] Gold membership AKA Certification of Permanent Virginity is for losers, especially if you "earn" it, because it means you wasted like 3 years of your life of facepunch.

The only reason I want gold is so I can use .gif avatars. But, I don't want it so much that I'll buy it. Money is for video games and food.

do golds get access to gmod beta?

Because if you just joined, you shouldn't start off by buying gold. I'd wait at least a year before getting gold. (but i wouldn't because it's pointless)

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;34911300]Elitism.[/QUOTE] lol it's more along the lines of it being fucking retarded paying money so your name on a forum turns gold and you get access to a forum exclusive to shit posting. I feel bad for anyone gullible enough to pay for them.

Quite frankly, I couldn't care less if someones gold or not, being all elitist about it is just internet wankery.

Because people buying goldmember is like trying to buy respect/coolness when gold didn't really even bestow that in the first place.

And a larger, animated avatar and an extra forum Besides, what do [I]you[/I] care what other people do with their money? That's like saying "You paid x amount of money for this TF2 hat/shitty postmodernist painting that doesn't look like anything, that's literally the stupidest thing ever"

Because they're worthless!!!!

And people still buy it anyway.

Any gold member who bought it back in 2005 is no different than someone who buys it in 2012. As far as I care, both paid for it so both are the same regardless of the date it was purchased. [QUOTE=nimaratu;34911304]Because they are too impatient to wait and get it naturally.[/QUOTE] You can only buy it now.
