All websites need ways to pay their bills. For us, it's advertisements. When you pay us directly, we don't need to show any of our banner ads to you!

Old threads are only accessible with a Gold account. That means you'll get quite a bit more threads to read!

View previous versions of edited posts to see what they contained before the user changed it.

Bookmark up to 1000 threads to prevent losing them and to get notified when they get new replies.

You'll get a Gold-tag to use in your posts. By using it, your posts are highlighted for everyone.

You get triple the amount of experience points for all your actions!

If you go three months without getting banned, the next ban you get will end immediately.

Use custom CSS styles to make the site look and feel exactly like you want it to!

Get access to more discussion boards which only users with a Gold account can use.

You can see more of your recently used media when choosing what to attach into your posts.

Your media pack limits are increased to 100 media packs in library and 1000 files per media pack, up from the default of 5 and 10 respectively.

Make your media packs private, so other users* can't view their contents or add them to their library.

* except for moderators

See more statistics from boards and threads, like how many readers they have and how many times they have been opened or hidden.

With a Gold account, any IP-address reputation based limitations do not affect you.
