cromptonnut Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 fair enough, I missed it appearing. I'm not sure that the benefits are worth it for me, and as long as things don't disappear from "free" membership and go over to a paid membership I will remain as I am. I say free, however we do already pay by the advertising revenue generated by our use of the forum. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin. I was thinking of joining for the same reason, though it does make me wonder how it may affect the print sales of BRM as you are getting a years subscription included.

Hroth Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I feel some Spandau Ballet coming on...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntG50eXbBtc The access to BRM back to the era that time forgot is a temptation, the free show admission ticket less of one and the chance to enter a raffle for an N gauge Western Pullman in its rather repulsive livery (I prefer the original Midland Pullman livery, in OO) isn't much of one at all, though its always possible to flog it in the Classifieds. The idea of being BRANDED as a Golden One is a put-off, I'm base, common, and popular and always will be..... I wonder if there will eventually be kudos in having an early membership? Rather like having a single figure Party membership card? Good luck, hope it goes well! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that the original post (showing 23 hours ago) was hidden until today, so it isn't an April Fool joke, although it would have all the hallmarks of being one, rather like the Facebook Gold service that does the rounds from time to time.

How do you get the fine modellers back. As I've said before. It seems to becoming more about Warner's bottom line than modelling. 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to becoming more about Warner's bottom line than modelling. Some of the 'fine' modellers were lost because they couldn't tolerate the less fine modellers. There is lots of quality modelling on this site - from basic OO through to P4 (other scales also apply here). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't need to tug on a forelock to respond to Gordon. The different colour to one's posts is all very well, but the question is, can we customise it how does one define it as Art? This gold-yellow hue could be construed playful in a conceptual sense, because of the way the optical suggestions of the aesthetics notate a participation in the critical dialogue of the overarching stylistic content but I am surprised that no one's mentioned yet that the aura of the figurative-narrative line-space matrix seems very disturbing in light of the accessibility of the work. 1 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely correct; you would still have access to the old issues on Pocketmags in addition to the back catalogue on Exact Editions. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted April 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2019 Blimey it’s just basically a closer link between the forum and magazine parts, a sort of second digital subscription option allowing sales as a bonus via the forum. Both Andy and Phil have said no change to normal members. I like the idea but as I’ve said before but digital mags don’t work for me as I can’t use tablets at work so I’ll continue with the paper ones. Look on the bright side if Gold members posts shine a little brighter at least you won’t get SAD reading them 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
