The return of PointBuzz Premium

Jeff's avatar

Hi everyone! A couple of announcements...

First off, we spent some dollars and decided to make PointBuzz 100% secure. That means every request you make to PointBuzz will be encrypted, so naughty people can't "sniff" what you're looking at. That includes your login and password. We're not exactly dealing in classified information on PointBuzz, but it makes sense to be secure by default.

Second, we're happy to announce the return of PointBuzz Premium. A few of you have asked about how you could help out PointBuzz, particularly as many have complained about the lack of quality in advertising, and we've complained about how little revenue they provide these days. PointBuzz Premium addresses both problems, by turning off the ads for you, and providing direct revenue to us from our biggest supporters. We offered this service a few years ago, but let it lapse when we updated the site.

The cost is $15 per year, and you can use virtually any credit card to sign up. More information is here:

The core experience does not change. We appreciate your support!

Great idea, Jeff! When I get a little more financially stable, I will certainly look into this! I have been a member here for more than 10 years, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. A huge thank you to Walt and Jeff for all the hard work they do to keep this site operational.

Thanks, Steve. You are now, officially, the coolest person on PointBuzz. At least until the next member joins. :)

Glad to be one of the "cool" people on Point Buzz.

But really, this is a great site to get to talk about the World's Greatest Amusement Park.

This month's gonna be a tad tight (I don't have paid vacation and I took a week off to roadtrip with my boyfriend to Dallas for Wrestlemania, plus I have my CP payment coming up), BUT I will def. sign up next month! Fifteen bucks ain't that much for a whole year. Anything for you guys and this site. <3

Whoops, that was my bad. They broke when we started forcing everything secure. Should be OK now.

Gee, sorry about that. Maybe I should have waited and let you enjoy being the coolest member for a full hour.

I had my 40 minutes of fame. Just glad to be in the club.
