Gold Members were the origional funders for FacePunch Studios, they paid for Gold therefore making them shareholders. If you are a Gold Member you get a slow trickle of cash into your bank account funded by the websites advertising as a thanks from Garry.

And here we see the stereotypical blue member, in an attempt to shroud his overwhelming jealousy and desire for the gold title (as we all know, he would jump at in half a second if given such an opportunity), claims that the GMF is a bad forum without ever having experienced it.
[QUOTE=SnakeHead;18039810]Golds are dumb, except for a few.[/QUOTE]
It's actually the other way around, there's only a few golds that are absolutely fucking retarded. Golds on average are far more intelligent than any blue I've seen (especially seeing as most of the smart blues have gone green/gold themselves now)

It's the thinning down, any retarded golds do something stupid and get banned eventually, and they can't get back in

Although there's still the occasional retard we can't seem to get rid of.
In the old days you got the new updates of gmod before it was released.
Now it's just a title.
I was going to buy goldmembership a long time ago, but alas I had no way of purchasing it unless I sent $15 through the mail to Garry.

[QUOTE=DaveP;18040520]Used to be able to get it by donating $15 to garry (this was pre gmod retail days)
Would have access to a cool forum, got access to the latest Gmod BETAs, and had the shiny titles, bigger avatars, animated avatars
Nowadays it's the ticket to an exclusive tight knit community of seasoned facepunch members (apart from all the new gold faggots who have been given it)

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;18043450]Well how can you get it today?[/QUOTE]
It's given out as prizes of mod riddles or whatever else competitions there are.
OP got tons of boxes.
Its funny how people get boxes when they mention them...
This post is probably not an exception
Golds remind me of OIFY'ers, both groups hate the same type of users, the difference is that the Gold Member's Forum is more tight knit, people don't get banned in the GMF but there is less of a chance of it being spammed since its only open to Gold Members, whereas OIFY is open to all but twice as dangerous and harsh as the GMF.
I thought goldmember was originally for garry to help him keep the forums up
OIFY'ers will not stop at trolling you out of OIFY, they will do all they can to humiliate you.

:smithicide:
The real benefit of the gold membership nowadays is that you are part of a smaller usergroup and thus you feel a little bit more "home" I think.
That applies to me when going to smaller forums.
only benefit i see of being gold is getting to look at the ref camp and being able to post in the ~ top secret bape subforum~
