Message added by ChrisSilver,

Launch planned early Q1 2025
Within 24 hours of first posting we already had around 106 interested Members (~20% of seats taken) 🥳 

Current Running Total around 232 (46.4% of 500) 💥
from manual count

Founding membership will close for new applicants when we have reached 500 or so. There are a maximum of 500-600 founding member seats. Actual total depends when we close the founding member round. The founding member round will be closed before launch, so get on the waitlist now if you are interested :) no payment needed until launch. This is a great opportunity to become a member of the private app based community with a massive discount off of the full price for 'Founding Members' Thank you to everyone who has shown positive interest so far.

For internal reference: count up until and including SiCole post on page 17

PLEASE check that your name is on the final collated list here.

Thanks for the support, that’s 52 already, if I count correctly. ~10% of allocation already gone :)

I'll give it shot  💯 and see how it all develops. 

This is inevitably going to end up being where gold gets traded imo.

I do have slight concerns about needing to manage 2 platforms but more so on how the new instant messaging system on TGF might change the way deals are done. With more real-time, private conversations, people who are naturally more social or used to chatting quickly, like on social media, could end up getting most of the deals which likely does happen but with the new system how much more? 

That’s great for them, but for those of us who prefer the transparency of vast trade public listings or aren’t as comfortable with back-and-forth negotiations, it could feel like we’re missing out.

Look forward to it and hope it proves to satisfy everyone involved.

Thank you for your concerns, you are likely in the user group that prefers just to use one website. And that is absolutely fine. There are more members joining TSF every day, and TGF is limited by membership seats. We also have only become aware of existence to a very small amount of people in the precious metals space. There is a still lot more room, with effective marketing to increase our membership numbers on TSF as well as TGF.

There is more than enough space for both platforms to co-insist. Please do not worry about there not being enough content on TSF for you :) there are also FREE standard members who contribute posts to TSF, this free standard membership will be continued to be offered. TSF will continue to grow also.

 

 

I think we on around 50 or so, so far :) They will be two distinct platforms that offer slightly different things. Also reduces risk as both platforms may move in slightly different directions. Also the structuring of both businesses will be slightly different. 



There was another question also about what if members cancel their TSF membership, I will find that and quote and reply to that also..

 

Exactly this post, highlights why forum topics are good. You can read at your leisure and then come back to read it again later.

Live chat topics, and feed style topics are a different type of experience. 

Both platforms offer something different in terms of what their main focus will be, depending on different times of day and how much free time a member may have and what time of what they wish to engage online. There is of course will be a lot of overlap two between the two platforms. 

 

Will TSF be shut down once TGF is up and running and settled in?

Absolutely not.

We will continue to invest in TSF, as per several of my posts above and in the original post. Apologies if you had missed that!

Do we pay for both forums? Do I have to pay extra on top of platinum? How much is it to upgrade to yearly platinum plus in order to get the new second forum for free? I guess I’ll have to be in or I’ll be left on TSF by myself waiting for sales listings, which will ultimately all be on the new forum

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants, and debt is the money of slaves

All of those details are in the first post, please read it in detail and let me know if you need any further clarification :) 

In short, It would be a lower cost to pay the discounted rate rather than upgrading to Platinum PLUS. They are separate businesses. TGF cost would be only £3.49 inclusive of VAT effective monthly cost, providing TSF membership continues. This is a founding member discounted rate from the full £14.99 per month for TGF. The original post explains all and in more details.

If I have to pay an extra £3.49 a month to continue buying and selling with the same members, then I guess I’m in.
