Wowhead "Premium" (good or bad?)

Pretty much, only neither postition is really 'good' or 'bad'... Anyways, I'll probably come to a nice middle ground, which will at least resemble:
Positive changes for Randomness = My money and encouragement
Continued neglect for Randomness = No money and critical questions

You're making way too big of a deal out of this... you must have a lot of free time right now.

Well, I'm observing the amount of people posting here is kinda low, and the amount of threads about this is really low. This seems to be the main one. Also I noticed a blogger poked his head in here, and especially interesting is the view count for the thread is skyrocketing. Everytime a comment is left here, about 15 wowhead staffers drop by to see what was said. If I'm right, I'm taking this opportunity to voice my concerns, and plant the seed for thought into other people. If I'm wrong, I've wasted an hour in a randomness thread, which isn't unusual...

The biggest reason for the cost is the removal of the ads (as compensation for the lost revenue). The other changes are just to brighten your day in some (perhaps small) way.

Agreed.
I am still in limbo... figureing it out in my head.
Most of this money is going to come from regular users, who use the forums, many of which come to randomness. But, I feel randomness has been neglected. If randomness shows improvements, I will buy premium, and encourage others to do so. If randomness continues to be ignored, I will not buy it, and question randomness users who do.
I think you know what to do. Just wait and see if what you want to happen happens.
16 posts and already that skilled with quote boxes. Plus, you sound a lot like Malgayne. I think you're Malgayne's alt.

You could just consider upgrading to Premium as a way of donating and supporting Wowhead because you'd rather not see it go out of business and shut down due to lack of revenue. Then the Premium membership bonuses would really just be Wowhead's way of thanking you for the donation!

also, apparently mods don't get it free
I get the bigger perks for free.
Besides, who would look out for bad ads if all of us went premium?

A new icon not being one of those bigger perks... And besides, I don't really agree with that change. I know a lot of people have been straining to have an icon not in the DB, but I very much like the elegance (and efficiency) of using native icons to Wowhead. IIRC, I think that may have been my idea way back when :o.
Ok, apparently I do have premium? I'm so confused...

Could one lose the premium package if they did something wrong?

i wouldn't mind being a premium member if people don't know i'm a premium member... i at least want a option to hide it lol
it feels like sun shattered title.
Yep, I want that option too. Anyway, Just do it MyTie. And btw, what kind of improvements are you expecting/ hoping for?

Yes. If someone keeps trying to use inappropriate avatars, after multiple offenses, they can get it taken away.
