Jack, my boomer friend: a
Gold Member is basically someone who has accepted that the free ride is coming to an end.
This place has been running for roughly a decade with
zero advertising, zero subscriptions and zero annoying pop-ups trying to sell you crypto, dick pills or hot singles in your area.
Unfortunately, inflation, server costs, the Strait of Hormuz and probably several other things I don't fully understand have finally caught up with us.
So soon we introduce:
GOLD MEMBERSHIP — €1.99/month
Yes. For the price of approximately half a terrible coffee, you get the privilege of talking to me,
@Adam,
@Weeg or other BF-Superstars.
Among other things:
•
ShoutBox access will become Gold-only
• The entire
Meltdown section will become Gold-only
•
Politics will become Gold-only
• More Gold-only areas may appear whenever I feel particularly capitalist
And because simply paying for access would be boring, every Gold Member gets
4 “User Hacks” per month.
No actual hacking, obviously. We're not going to prison.
A User Hack may allow you to do things like:
• Replace another user's avatar with an image of your choice
• Give someone a ridiculous temporary title
• Lock them out for two hours
• Other completely unnecessary acts of forum terrorism that we haven't invented yet
There will be limits. There will be rules. There will probably be abuse of power.
It should be glorious.
Friends of mine may receive a
Wildcard, because corruption is an important part of every functioning premium membership system.
So THAT, Jack, is a Gold Member.
Gold Member. Gold Guns. Gold privileges.
The era of communism is ending.
