Get Jr.VIP there is all the $

not my question...

Both Jr.VIP (blue) and Premium (pink) memberships are Donor member levels.

The main purpose of Premium membership is for people that want to use links in their signature, and don't want to wait till they meet the qualifications for Jr.VIP. (It used to also be good if you wanted to make a BST thread, but the BST requirements have changed so this isn't the case anymore.)

If you donate to become a Premium member in order to get the benefit of links in your signature early, then you'll still need to donate to become a Jr.VIP when you qualify if you want to have access to the Jr.VIP forum. In other words if you want to use signature links without waiting to join Jr.VIP, you have to donate twice for that extra privilege.

So if you want to become a Premium member now, but plan to become a Jr.VIP member later, the best thing is to just pay for the one year Premium membership now. Then when you meet the qualifications for Jr.VIP and ready to make the donation for that, decide then between donating for the one year or lifetime options.

(If you do want to become a Premium member so that you can use signature links, you need to read through the rules regarding signatures. There have been members in the past that were upset to find after they became Premium members that the links they wanted to use were still not allowed.)

edit -
@ijof9I, I just noticed your stats and you already qualify to become a Jr.VIP, so why would you want to donate for the Premium membership? As I said before the point of Premium membership is to get a few of the benefits of Jr.VIP while you still don't qualify for the Jr.VIP forum. The Premium membership has no additional benefits that do not also come with a Jr.VIP membership. Just sign up for the Jr.VIP membership and donate for that one.

edit again (lol) -
Well I just looked and see that the option for lifetime membership is only available for the Premium membership. That's kind of a screwed up thing. lol

Since there is no automatic upgrade from Premium membership to Jr.VIP membership it would have to be done manually by an admin when the time comes for the upgrade. I guess you'll need to wait till a mod or admin can come and give you a better answer regarding the lifetime membership.

Um how do you get jr. vip and what are the benefits?

**shadowcat** · 09-16-2011, 10:32 PM

Greywolf said it all.I guess no more clarification required.Thanks a lot and respect.

Still for the sake I would like to mentions that I opted for the Premium Membership which made me as you can see," PINK ".After that I got awarded with a Doner status as well as a facility to carry a signature as you can again see below my post a banner with a coded link pointing to my BST but I can't access the Jr.VIP section.

If you opt for 100 years doner you will get the same facilities that I am getting for life time but you still wont be a Jr.VIP.

If you are opting for the Jr. VIP Membership then you can surely access the JR.VIP section and you will enter the " BLUE " gang.

The benefits of Jr.VIP are access to all the threads in the hidden Jr.VIP forum, and the ability to use links and images in your forum signature, and the knowledge that you're helping to support the operating costs for the forum.

Jr. VIP Membership
If you have been a member of the forum for at least 60 days, and have made at least 100 posts, your $97 donation will promote you to a Jr. VIP membership, which allows you to access the hidden Jr. VIP forums.

When you meet those qualifications you click the Donate link in the top navbar menu and make your donation.

Thanks thats what I was looking for. I will donate once I reach my 100 posts for sure!

**ijof9** · 09-16-2011, 11:17 PM

Thank you all. Jr. VIP looks like what I'm going to get although it was cool to have a life-time payment plan (the way it's for Donor... as in pay now $1.5k and get 100 years Jr. VIP acces), or at least discounted for a full year.

One more question, why stars have different colors for some of you?

I made up a chart once to answer those questions.

When do I get glowing stars next to my name? - reply#29

@oni3350 - you're 3 blue stars should change to 3 shiny blue stars when you get to 400 posts.

Best explanation of jrvip and donor that I've seen! Most people who ask that question just get a riddle for an answer

**facebookdude** · 10-10-2011, 06:47 AM

That's why GreyWolf is in white! Question is who's gonna get their red stars first? :P

**Neo240** · 10-10-2011, 07:22 AM

Great work Greywolf, 7 mins of reading and its all cleared.

If I buy 100years donor...
I dont think google will allow reimbursement of unused years fee..
I mean, most probably Google Inc. will buy blackhatworld.com for at least 10 Billion dollars in the future..
