A thank you message from the founder

[ChrisSilver]

Thank you to all of the Premium Members!

Thank you to all of the members who have chosen to support TSF with a Premium Membership package. This goes a long way into maintaining TSF and to help us grow.

I am pretty much constantly available online on TSF and most of the emails and messages I get I usually reply to within an hour, or at most within 24 hours. 

There are a vast amount of topics that need to be Moderated. We have some fantastic Moderators who give up their time for free to help TSF and our members. A special thank you is extended to all of our Moderators and all of the work that they put into TSF.

I am putting in a considerable amount of time into TSF and to grow TSF. TSF is ran as a full time business, whilst I also work on other related projects to help expand TSF further.

We have a new major feature coming to TSF soon which has taken a long time to develop and at a high development cost. Thank you to @Darr3nG who has put his time into this (free of charge), and thanks to the developers and everyone involved.

We would be grateful if non paying members would consider upgrading to Premium Membership. Especially if you are using the forum and gaining useful knowledge, helpful advise or otherwise benefiting from the existence of TSF and from the community. TSF is more than just a Precious Metals community, it offers members a place to meet new like minded people and make new friends and a lot of members spend a lot of time here. Many members have been introduced to contacts/members who have helped them to acquire items they are looking for at reasonable prices, without TSF this would be a lot harder.

Thank you for those members who give back something to the community and decide to help TSF grow with an ongoing Premium Membership purchase.

Thank you to every Premium Member who chooses to support TSF. A large percentage of Premium Membership goes directly into advertising and marketing costs to help grow TSF further, although there is not enough to do what we would like. There is still a lot more trade incentives and Prize Draws and fun competitions that I would like to run on the forum as well as other marketing channels that are yet to be explored due to the costs, but we need your help and support. As TSF grows so do our maintenance costs, I would like to be in a position to use a larger portion of Premium Memberships for advertising and marketing than is used on maintenance costs.

If every member had Premium Membership we would be able to grow a lot faster and would be able to have considerably larger prize draws and incentives.

 

The best way to support the forum is by purchasing Premium Membership.

Those who decide to support TSF with Premium Membership get all of the benefits listed under each package here.
