Eh, I'll gladly give em $9. This site is one of my most frequently visited.
Can i hide my premium badge?
We weren't even told it was live, someone just noticed it was up. Quite a few of us are just more than happy to spend 75 cents a month to hopefully support more development of the site going forward.

Win what though?
Hey chaud, I saw some ideas being tossed around for Premium. I think a Premium off-topic board could work (could still be viewable by the non-premium to show there's actually activity there)
I've been using IGN, one of the longstanding forums remaining on the net, since 2000 and I paid for Insider back in the day. They had some Insider only boards there and the system mostly worked, but more than one board is pushing it. The quality of posts on Premium Off-topic might be higher because it means less trolls, but then again people might pay 89 cents just to troll, who knows (could limit posting access somehow to post count/join date, but meh). The concern might be that it splits the off-topic community, and that's a valid one, but I'd argue this boards so big and active that a lot of friendly/non-controversial threads just can't stay on the 1st page that normally would on a smaller board. It'd be like a second off-topic board and that might be a boost to traffic/overall board activity. The other downside would be that if it turns out to not be active enough then you'd just have a front-facing board that just makes it look like its not worth paying for that benefit. We also have a Chat Zone/Fun Stuff board for other persistent threads too, so idk, just a thought. I never paid for EJ's Benefactor Bar so idk how busy that was, but that board was hidden. It'd be important to have it readable by the public.
If there's ever a MMOC discord, Premium could also give people a special rank on there, but yea, make it a board right below Off-Topic imo, in the same category, but not a subforum, for more visibility
Overall the idea is cool and the pricing is competitive enough.

I wouldn't really have much against giving MMO-Champion/Curse/Twitch/Amazon/??? 8-9 euros for a year, it sounds reasonable enough even though I get nothing positive out of it (ads are always blocked anyway), but I'm way too leery of giving them my credit card info. Perhaps if those codes were sold in like Steam or something. Could buy it there, enter here.
Oh well.
You don't. Chaud replied to this concern here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...1#post47983540
@Winter Blossom Chaud says the credit card info never touches MMO champs severs.
Edit: Ninja'd by a higher quality post.
well adblock covers part of what they are selling..and i don't see in paying for a badge.. meh w/e floats yer boat if its for you by all means

Well chrome still says it's not secure, so it's a no go for me.
Signed up without hesitation, get way more than $10/year of value from this site. Won't feel so bad about blocking adverts now
But yeah - I hate the extra badge, I'd prefer some other option like being able to upload an animated avatar, or extra space in the sig or something.
Broadcasting I'm premium specifically seems a little 'over the top'.

Your Post Count 22,242 suggests you would be getting an awesome deal for 99c a month.
Everyone USE Paypal this is EXACTLY what it is for .... don't CC direct to curse
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Probably get it if they add more benefits, no idea what those could be myself though.
