The discussion centers on the payment options for acquiring a gold membership on the forum, which currently only directs users to PayPal. Users express a desire for alternative payment methods, such as credit or debit cards, to be available for purchasing the membership. It is noted that while donations can be made via PayPal with card options, this flexibility is not extended to membership purchases. A user from Spain highlights their experience with the payment process on a Windows 10 PC using Chrome. The conversation suggests that direct messaging the forum administrator may provide a workaround for membership upgrades.

After a while of using and enjoying the forum, I decided to get a gold membership. A small contribution to the cause with some nice perks attached to it.

After I click on purchase, it takes me to PayPal being that the only way to pay it.

After asking to @berkeman about it I learnt that donations are also done through PayPal but it allows to pay with a credit or debit card.

Would it be possible to have those options for the acquisition of the gold membership too?

For reference, I tried the process from a PC working on Windows 10, using the navigator Chrome from Spain.

Thread 'Why Are You Still Here? A Curious Question'

Hello everyone, I recently revisited Physics Forums after a long hiatus (about 4-5 years) and started catching up on the recent discussions. What immediately struck me—and what inspired this thread—is seeing so many of the exact same user names in the "Latest Posts" section who were just as active when I was last here! To the dedicated, long-term, and continuously active members of this community: What keeps you coming back and contributing regularly after all this time? Is it the joy...
