Message thepatrickman beers 1503 º places 41 º 08:46 Fri 1/6/2017 After over a year of using this site close to every day, I finally went ahead and got my premium membership. Sure, I was interested in all of the advanced features and what not, but the main reason I did it was because I wanted to support a website that has given me a ton for free! So, thanks to everyone who’s made RB such an awesome place! Here’s my question for the veterans: what’s your favorite "premium" feature on RateBeer? I’m just getting started poking away at the deeper recesses, and I’d love to get insight from the hive. Cheers!

I thought they were weekly... might have to rethink this premium thing...
Message Marko P admin beers 17890 º places 879 º 09:00 Fri 1/6/2017 Thanks for supporting this site! More Premiums = more finances to fund t.... I mean, for Joe to waste on ways to improve and maintain it better = better site for all of us. :)
Message rennat42 P beers 5363 º places 205 º 09:06 Fri 1/6/2017 Good call. I have been a premium since the day I started using the site and don’t regret it one bit. I love all the extra stats (half the reason I love this site so much more than any other beer site), along with not having to see ads. And while I only post occasionally and most of the time the forums annoy the hell out of me, OT-L and OT-M can make for some entertaining reads. And of course you get that cool orange box with a P by your name. Cheers.

Message Sarlacc83 beers 2662 º places 111 º 10:25 Fri 1/6/2017 Honestly, I don’t find the extra features that much of a perk. But what I like about being premium is that I’m putting my money where my mouth is and supporting a website I use multiple times per day. Plus, it gives me the right to complain about what I don’t like!
Message cheap P beers 8859 º places 328 º 10:27 Fri 1/6/2017 Yea, that OTM really gives you a feel for the way some ratebeerians think. Also, that lack of adds is GREAT! Loads faster on my ol’ tower.
