The Future of Premium Membership
 
A few months ago, I inquired in the premium forum about the benefits of being a premium member. IBobi replied with the following:

A few minutes ago, I received an e-mail from PayPal stating that my premium membership subscription had been cancelled by DVDTalk.com. Does this mean that new information will be revealed in the near future? Or is the premium membership simply going away? Seems a little strange to get this cancellation notice before anything was posted here on the site about it.

I just got that message too, and came here to see what was up.

I just started a thread in the PM forum about this.

Same here. Was pretty confused.

You'll have to pay to find out why they'll cancel your membership.

I'm running around getting some final XMas shopping done. When I get in front of a computer, I'll look at your account.

I'm guessing it means that his premium membership expired. Can you still access the premium forum, Psi?

Psi 12-23-13 02:18 PM
Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
No, everything "premium" about me is gone. The premium forum is not visible, and the hat is gone too.

I have been a premium member since this debuted, and was planning to remain one until the program is cancelled, so :thmbsdwn:

VinVega, since you are still shopping, I would like an iPad Mini, 128 GB space gray. I hear it's hard to find.

Or a premium membership at DVDTalk. That is also in high demand.

Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
That's just it. The program has been cancelled. Within a matter of days/weeks, everyone will lose their hat.

Ginwen 12-23-13 02:39 PM
Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
Alas, all my exciting benefits (hat, forum, panic button, countdown?) are no more, as well. That's what I get for signing up early, I wonder who'll be last.

You still have your cool hat, and I am jealous :p

1. Ignore forum
2. Forum gets pissy and revolts
3. Give forum small cost free upgrade and promises of "more to come"
4. Forum settles down as they choose avatars
5. Ignore forum
6. Profit

Psi, I guess your membership expired to Premium-land. No, there's no way to bring the hat back. Perhaps I should change my avatar?

:sad:

Not to mention that I can still enter the 14 premium contests that were unveiled today. ;)

Truthfully, my days are numbered. And so is my hat.

Greg MacGuffin won the contest with the 5 Blu-rays. There is another contest up now.

i'm bummed i'm missing a contest i probably wouldnt win any ways

Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
It's not a big thing, but it just feels wrong that they can't cancel premium membership for everyone at the same time. I don't imagine that there are that many members to manage.

My hat is gone and my PM limit has been reduced. :(

Oddly enough, My countdown still appears.

That's just wrong. Wasn't your limit increased because you mentioned the various games that you run?

Trevor 12-31-13 12:38 PM
Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
I guess my hat wearing days are gone too. PM limit is 150. Is that the new normal or the increased version?

MrSmearkase 12-31-13 12:45 PM
Re: The Future of Premium Membership
 
/\ New normal, apparently. I have never had Premium, and my limit is also 150.

ibobi 12-31-13 02:05 PM
Hats!
 
Members, please see this post in the Premium forum:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/11962673-post16.html

If you have recently lost your hat and *still do not see it right now*, please PM me.

Thank you,

Paul

I thought The PM limit for Premium members was 400 and I now have that back Along with my hat.

Yesterday I had 159 total in my in and out boxes and deleted some to get below 150. I still have a lot of messages from last fall's Survivor, Amazing Race and sheep games.

I can get by for now, but I will be deleting a lot of my old messages when the new survivor and TAR games start.

I seem to have lost my premium member status. I thought I had read a post stating all memberships were extended but I cant find that post now. What do I need to get added again?

I thought that the countdown was a premium feature, but I couldn't remember. Mine is still showing up and I can't remove it because I didn't renew the premium membership. It would be nice to have it gone from my profile/signature.
