If Geoff were still in control, I am sure the premium forum would be worth it and there would be most likely more things in terms of premium stuff.

I haven't noticed any change, other the more features on the forum then before.

I'll always appreciate Geoff for starting this great community, but I think it's only gotten better since he sold it.

I did not renew however I do not think the site has gone downhill since the change over.

I'm frankly surprised to see anyone renewing their membership.

Really? I think a lot of people would pay just to support the site. All the minor perks are just gravy. And the free DVDs are icing on the gravy. Ewww...

Remember, this is the place where people will drive three towns over and argue with a manager for hours so they can save a couple bucks on a DVD.

I renewed.
Won 2 dvds and a Fight Club blu so renewing seemed like a good idea.

I don't mind spending $10 a year on something, but the premium membership here seems to be $10 for practically nothing.

Back in the Geoff days, I'd have spent $10 to support the site. I don't feel the same loyalty to Internet Brands. :shrug:

I've won enough in the DVD Contests to call the premium membership a wash for several years (2 of the 3 sets I won were ones I was going to purchase). Works for me. Hoping to see some more Blu-rays in future contests.

Because, you know, YOU were the only person he was referring to.

I'd like to start a sub-thread titled:

"What the fuck is this $10 charge in my bank account?!? Oh, yeah...that thing from last year."

And if ONLY preemies are offered contests (I have wondered where the contests had gone to!)....count me completely OUT. Maybe if I'd won one during the Geoff days (I didn't), I'd have considered the Premium thing...but I didn't. And I won't pay for something that I currently get for free (this site) to have "value-added" type features that add no value for me (contests that are "exclusive", lame avatars, etc).

I re-upped.
For as much as I visit/use this site, $10 is a no-brainer. The contests are a nice plus, but I don't enter them regularly, and the avatars don't really factor into my decision.

I feel the same way about shareware. If it's something "free" that I end up using a lot, I pay for it. Seems fair.

I paid to support the site mainly, but the minor perks like the panic button are nice.

Also, it seems like most people who entered them won at least one contest, so that makes them worthwhile right there.

I never won a contest. :(

I have never won a contest ever. I renewed just to support the site. Besides I save more than that on bargains I find here.

But if I don't win a contest this year its fucking over! ;)

I would have renewed but for some reason my automatic Paypal payment was canceled, and when I tried to subscribe on this website, it's asking for $20.

Can anybody help me out with a code for $10, or did that expire already?

There are contests? SONOVABITCH!

Cheapest rent out there for as often as I park my ass here.

Seriously, there are contests?
