Not buying gold membership, thanks for the advice. Feel free to share your opinions here with others though.
[B]I'm not buying it, so please, quit saying "Have fun wasting money"[/B] Also, of course I'm rated dumb for asking for an opinion.
Its not worth it tbh
You'll be $10 poorer. You should just buy a game or a sandwich instead.
dont buy it
It's not that special, the only perk is the refugee camp has some occasional gold
Don't buy it, you think you'll get so much benefit out of it but a few days later you're still just dicking around in fast threads.
Buy Bastion instead :)
Don't pay for gold. Or a title.

It's really dumb.
[U]Pros:[/U]
none
[U]Cons:[/U]
You're a goldmember
1) Post GMF
2) Responded to with "kill yourself"
basically your name will be more noticeable, and you'll get a larger avatar
oh except now your name WON'T be more noticeable since every jackass with 10 dollars is a gold member now
Don't.
Pros:
Bigger avatar
Cons:
You paid $10 for access to a shitty forum
You become a fucking joke of the community
It's not worth the money and it is not worth five years of waiting.
RC = kinda stupid
GMF = second oify but shittier
gold name / bigger avatar who gives a damn
You should totally buy it!
You'll get a warm welcome and there's plenty of interesting/informative threads.
have fun wasting 20 well earned dollars.
still a waste, I checked.
it's 10, but why not just buy weed or garry's mod if you don't have it.
Before being gold was common, I felt that more people would agree with you if you were arguing over something, but golds are too common now.
What's a gold member?
Can you eat it?
We need to bring back the idea of Brown Member.
Don't buy it, earn it. People who buy membership or custom titles instead of earning them are usually ridiculed for wasting money just to be in the cool kids club.
Either way the GMF really isn't that awesome, some people like it, personally I just think of it as General Discussion 2.0.
The Refugee camp is occasionally funny, but you run high risk of being permabanned if you post there.

I wonder if there'll ever be another type of member rather than "Blue, gold, mod or banned".
I wouldn't want it to get out of hand though.
I don't plan on ever buying Gold Membership or titles, anyway. If I ever do become a gold member, I'll probably just think, "Oh hey look I'm a gold member now. That's nice I guess"
When you earn gold member, 5 years of course, does it automatically update? Or do they ask you if you'd like to accept it or something?
It's automatic.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;33742398]It's automatic.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for answering.
Does anyone that's been here long enough know if it's always been 10 dollars? If not, how did things use to work out?
Pros:
Bigger e-dick.
Cons:
Why the fuck would you spend money on e-dick enlargement?

When the forums started in 2005 or so, it was purchasable. I don't know the price off-hand, but I wanna say maybe $5? Something small, like that. Then it temporarily became $1000 because Garry didn't want any more Gold Members, I guess. Someone actually bought it, thinking it was a joke. Became the laughing stock of the community, but Garry had the sense to remove the option entirely following that incident.
Then not too long ago, everyone who had an account with over 2000 posts and 2 years of membership became a gold member. That stuck for a while, until Garry recently changed the requirements to 100 posts and 5 years of membership. At the same time, he offered the option to purchase GM for people with more money than sense.

e-dick you say? Hmmm. I didn't even know I had an e-dick.

It was $20 until the infamous 9/11 avatar attacks on the blue members.
After that Garry lowered the price to get more people to buy it. It was a pretty smart move too, I think about 20 people purchased it in one day.
