FTFY.
But Google alerts don't work in the Premium forums!
I hear if you say Martin's name 3X in the Premium Forums that an angry ol' Scot will appear beside you to murder you.

Is there anything of actual value in the Premium forums? I can browse the topics and there doesn't seem to be that much activity.
Eh, it depends. You can make some connections in there, get to know some good people, etc. But other than that, not a whole lot. Some stuff For Sale that may be offered there before the general public of WHT or perhaps at a discounted rate. So may be able to score some hardware and stuff for cheap. Really not a ton of active threads in the premium sections anymore besides the Premium Members Thread which is a long ongoing chat that gets closed after 4,000 responses and then a new one is started. We used to fill those up in a few days. Now it takes a few days for a single page to be added.

A t-shirt saying "I was scammed out of $1200 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt".
Post in the ad forums every 3 days instead of 7, I believe. Keyword alerts, and a Corportate Badge to make you look more trustworthy on the forum. It may be worth it for some. The increased exposure is hard to put a price on as well as the appearance of being more reputable.
WHT has a lot of big companies represented on there, so that's not much money. You have to understand that companies on there aren't selling $7/mo VMs and often have much more financial resources.

It's also hard to put a price on some of the 'Corporate Badge' companies (and even WHT STAFF) being downright shady/criminal... and having to balance whether or not you want to be associated with them based on a WHT 'standard'.
@MannDude it would be nice if they would spend some of that money to modernize their forum a little bit. Or is too much to ask for avatars and a color scheme that doesn't make think of zombies/world war II/rat infested basements/1986 Chernobyl disaster... and so on...
At least 3 years ago: not really. Not sure about now, haven't bothered to have premium membership on WHT since then.
Also, HostingCon is a crock in my opinion, too.

I pays money too?
Yeah posting every 3 days for a few minutes of exposure in the Shared and VPS forums is not even worth it. If you really want to get use out of WHT you have to get your customers out there writing reviews on WHT. Gains a lot more traction for you when someone starts checking.
