there really isnt a whole lot of activity in the premium member section, but it seems like people get more respect and trust from other members when you are a premium
i think its definately worth it. the resources are great, for example, you can get tutorials others have to pay for :]
Considering you have premium membership for the next 5 years.... I would consider it worth $1/yr. You may find yourself not caring about the resources, but then BOOM. There is a resource that you can get from Premium Membership, that you would otherwise have to pay for. And just as Rufio said, people who are premium members seem to be respected a little more... although I'm not sure why....
I don't do it for the resources, i do it for helping GR. Resources, discount in shop, bigger pm box and some other things are nice tho
Donators ftw! just pay 25 bucks... Realistically tho. Prem is worth it, however...you only have 33 posts, get to know GR more, stick around some more so u can be sure you want to get prem here
id definately say that the premium membership is worth your $. The donator requires you to like GR and not expect so much in return for your money, but rather that you are donating to help the community. Also, SS is wrong, both the premium and donators are for a lifetime, not 5 years.
