I am considering buying the paid account here on Advicenators. I'm especially interested in the fact that I can change my username (or column name, I guess it's called) to something different. I have a couple of questions though for the people who do currently have paid accounts:
- How many times can I change my username? Just once?
- Does the detailed information on the questioner tell the person's username too? Because I was thinking that it sort of defeats the anonymity of the site then...
- Is it worth the $10 for a year for a paid account, in your personal opinion?
I just bought a paid account. Why? Because not only has Advicenators helped me with a few tough questions of mine, it has given me a way to use my painful past experiences to help others.

2. No,it does NOT include the username. Sometimes you won't even have the askers' age if they refuse to provide that information.
3. In my opinion, only two things are good about having a paid account: no ads and customizable profile layout; the rest of the features are almost useless and definitely not appealing.
However, you are able to keep the customized profile layout that you've created even after the paid account has expired so . . . you know, maybe just pay for a year is enough.
(Also, about the profile layout, if you do become a premium member but don't know enough about CSS and HTML to create one, you can request someone who knows about it to make one for you.) [ ThirdQED's advice column | Ask ThirdQED A Question ]
