I remember being a Paid Subscriber and we had Faster web pages.
I thought it was Well worth the money.

i remember the paid days, but never partaked.
These. But I wouldn't have partook - partaken - whatever - anyway. What were the benefits of partaking aside from hiding ads like adblock does?I was a poor college student and couldn't afford it back then.![]()

I was a subscriber then but I wouldn't be now. Forums are dead compared to back then.
What was the subscription cost back then?
They are too dead now for it to be worthwhile.
What was the subscription cost back then?
IIRC $30/yr and back then when the forums were thriving, it was well worth it.
Anand Lal Shimpi said:Because of the tremendous growth of the AnandTech Forums over these past few months we have been forced to impose a number of restrictions such as a limit on private messages, disabling full-text search, and bandwidth capping. The AnandTech Forums will continue to be offered as a free service to all that wish to use it however in order to support its operation we have created a premium AnandTech subscriber Account with the following features:
Increased Private Message Limit (1000 PMs instead of 100)
Dedicated Server Access with improved performance (significantly more bandwidth offered to subscribers for faster access)
Full-Text Search
Buddy Lists
No Banner Advertisements
...plus much more to come
As I mentioned before, the AnandTech Forums will continue to be offered as a free service and as the subscriber Accounts grow in numbers the access and features available to everyone will increase overall. These Forums help hundreds of thousands of users every month and are in need of your support to keep them running. We will continue to offer new features to AnandTech subscribers as the program grows.
For more information on the AnandTech subscriber program and how to sign up please visit http://www.anandtech.com/subscriptions.html. An AnandTech subscriber Account can be had for as low as $2.50 per month.
Your support is definitely appreciated; without the support of AnandTech subscribers the Forums would not be able to live on, with your support however this community will flourish and become even more useful than it currently is.
Take care,
Anand
