Hi, everyone, guys, gals and whatever!
 
I'd like to share with you, my friends, my experience after I have upgraded my premium membership from Silver to Platinum Plus.
I have had my Silver membership from beginning (October 2020) and I have been very happy all the time with what this offered to me: instantly access to see on Buy/Sell section, the right to sell what I wanted to with a lot of pictures, the right to see and comment almost everywhere on forum, a limited number of emojis, etc. The price of £5.99/month was very attractive and I was sure that I will never change my membership until two weeks ago, when something happened and changed my mind.
Two weeks ago, it was a kind of flash in my mind, when I have decided to do more for this lovely forum. Why? Because I can, I want to and I love this forum from the deeps of my heart! After I have joined here, I have learned a lot from other members, I have shared my knowledge and I have felt included in a real community. I have gained new friends, I have had fun, I have made good profits with my sales, I have bought in a safe manner a lot of silver and gold items. I can not even imagine one day without opening TSF page. 
The Silver Forum is the safest place for buying and selling precious metals, it is a lovely and friendly community always happy to offer informations and the efforts made by @ChrisSilver and his professional team of moderators should be highly appreciated. My only one tool to show my appreciation is to pay monthly a little more than I was thinking before to help growing this lovely forum. I am not an expert, so I can only guess the monthly expenses for having online fully functional such a forum.
I would like to encourage more members to upgrade their membership to Gold, Platinum or Platinum Plus to keep this forum rolling. The difference per year is not noticeable for individuals who use to spend on a monthly basis @500-£1000 for precious metals, but all together we can support TSF to grow steady and healthy. 
Please, feel free to comment on here your opinion about your premium membership, with pro's and contra's. Will not be a debate, I'd like only to be a place for sharing good experiences on this forum. Any comment added will have a SuperLike or SuperThanks from me (as a Platinum Plus member I have unlimited SuperLikes and SuperThanks to offer) , doesn't matter if I will agree or not with the comment. 
Also, like a giveaway for this forum, I'd like to organise a Tombola for all Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus, regular or business accounts. The participation starting now and will end on 15th of September 2023, 14.00pm, when the winner will be selected using a random generator. I will ask nicely @Charliemouse, a forum member who shown us real competences in statistics to be the person who will extract the winner.
 
The prize will be:
1 x 100g TSF silver bar with certificate and original pouch;
1 x romanian jam jar + 1 x solid silver teaspoon;
1 x bottle of romanian red wine.
All these items offered as prize are donated by myself.
Also, more donations from generous forum members are added:
@theman73 added to the initial prize 1g gold Tavex carded bar, free shipping.
@ryanwinter73 added to the initial prize 1oz silver proof QB White Horse of Hannover with box and certificate, free shipping.
The delivery SD will be absolutely free for winner, paid by myself. If the winner will be from outside UK, the relevant highest grade postage offered by Royal Mail will be free, paid by me, but any custom fee or any applicable import duties or taxes that are due are to be paid for by the winner.
 
The conditions to enrol for this tombola are:
a. to be Gold, Platinum, Platinum Plus or any business accounts at 15th of September 2023.
b. to comment minimum once on this post. To enter the ticket number, first person #ticket 1, next entry #ticket 2, etc, etc. One ticket entry per member, but members can post multiple comments, please only enter a ticket once for valid entry. 
 
Important note: The administrator of this site, @ChrisSilver, is aware about this tombola and I have his prior permission to organise this, as per forum's rules and guidelines. Also, the administrator will add a nice extra bonus to the happy winner (I will leave him the pleasure to do the announcement).
 
Cheers, everyone!🤗

As everyone around the world is aware recent inflation and the cost of living is an issue pretty much everywhere worldwide, with the costs of goods increasing considerably due to current circumstances in the world as well as increases in energy prices. As you have seen already TSF is not increasing our pricing for Premium Membership. However, our running costs as a business have also increased.

We need to increase our Premium Membership numbers to help with our running costs and planned improvements to TSF as well as to increase our marketing budget so that we can make more people aware of TSF and subsequently increase the amount of items that are posted for sale in the forum's trade section. Currently we have had to use a good chunk of our marketing budget to help out with the day to day running costs and expenses, unfortunately diverting money away from marketing budget. If we increase our Premium Memberships we can start to put a larger amount directly back into marketing TSF. 

TSF offers a free standard membership option, if you can afford it though please consider upgrading to Premium Membership to support TSF, in exchange you will also receive all of the benefits listed under the package you choose. Especially please consider upgrading if you are using TSF and benefit from the community here. TSF does not charge any commissions on trade topic sales and our Premium Memberships are the best way to support TSF. 

I have been making manual recordings every so often since 25th January 2022 to see if we are on track to our targets, and now I wish to publish the targets publicly so that we can all work together. 

Our Premium Membership targets:

Our targets are based off of the membership figures below taken on 25th January 2023, which will be used as the baseline. 

+100 Active Premium Memberships by end of December 2023 (Target = 630+ Premium Members)
+283 Active Premium Memberships by end of December 2024 (Target = 813+ Premium Members)

25th January 2023 (original) 
Silver - 404
Gold - 37
Platinum- 83 
Platinum PLUS - 6
Total: 530

Note that these stats only include Premium Memberships purchased on or after 1st January 2020. For simplicity this is counting all Premium Memberships purchased on or after 1st January as an overall target and not differentiating between the different Premium Membership levels in our target, however there will also be a bonus prize should the winner of the prize draw be a Platinum or Platinum PLUS premium Member. 


Prize Draw:

This draw is open to all Premium Members and Business Accounts, existing and new. Though the stats only include Premium Memberships. There will be a bonus prize should the winner be a Platinum or Platinum PLUS Premium Member / have a Platinum Business Account.

Prize if we hit +100 target: 2x 1oz Silver Coins.  (+ bonus if winner is a Platinum member group)
Prize if we hit 2nd target of +283: TBC (+ bonus if winner is a Platinum member group)

How to take a ticket to enter:

1. Simply Purchase Premium Membership if you aren't already a Premium Member or hold a Business Account. If you already are an existing Premium Member you can enter below.
2. Enter the ticket number below, i.e. the first person to reply will enter #1 (ticket 1) and then next #2 (ticket 2) etc

One ticket/entry per member. 

Take a note of your ticket number in sequence, as multiple entries may have been posted at the same time the moderation team may need to adjust ticket numbers so that they are in the correct sequential order from when posted. 

Members can request an update to the current stats anytime by posting/requesting below and I can post an update below  

 
EDIT January 2024 Update:





Terms:
If the target is hit within the specified time frame as mentioned above then a random number generator will be used to determine a winner and the result will be posted below. After a winner has been determined they will have 30 days to provide their shipping details to @ChrisSilver who will arrange for the dispatch of the prize on behalf of The Silver Forum. The prize will either be dispatched by ChrisSilver or Another Moderator. Should they not make contact with their shipping details within this time, the prize draw may be put up again and a new winner selected. 1 entry per person. Creating multiple accounts to abuse this limit will result in the permanent ban of your account and all future accounts associated with you, The Silver Forum has a strict policy in regards to multiple accounts. The winner needs to be a Premium Member both at the time of taking a ticket, and the time the winner is drawn. We advise you to securely save your card details for automatic payment so that your membership dose not lapse and so you are always eligible to win. The winner is responsible for any applicable import taxes or duties. This prize is dispatched from the UK. FREE worldwide shipping to the winner. 

Additional terms in relation to Prize Draws ran by TSF:
Premium Membership should be purchased to support TSF and/or for the benefits listed within each Premium Membership package in the forum store. There is no guarantee that this Prize Draw listed in this topic will take place, and this prize draw along with all prize draws are not a benefit of Premium Membership, please take this into consideration.  From the forum's terms and conditioons page: As per section 5.1.3 of these Terms and Conditions, Premium Membership comes with a range of benefits of which entering prize draws is not a listed benefit, as there is no guarantee that these draws may take place regularly or at all, as per section 9.7.2. The benefits of membership are specifically relevant to those set out in 5.1.3 and expectations should be accordingly managed in terms of the additional benefit brought by entry into a Prize Draw which may or may not be regularly drawn and which the odds of winning are significantly low; especially when balancing the overall costs of membership with the value of the prizes on offer.
