I love all of the features, but my favorites are the gold posts, private wall posts, and the classifieds.

Private threads/wall posts and hiding boards. Although that's not been as effective as people just post the topic I don't want to see across every other boards instead.

Private wall posts!
@zippylef: agree about the hiding posts option! I think I know which category you're talking about and it definitely ends up on every board.

Gold posts, private wall posts and the ability to hide the list of posts in my profile. I like my privacy.

Private wall posts and these days the hiding the posts I comment on is very valuable.

I didn't know classifieds were for Gold only??
I the Classifieds, being able to make my history private to non-gold members and the gold threads. I like the wall posts as well! I don't use the hide feature.

Obviously reading and making Gold posts is the feature I used the most.
I also really like the ability to hide boards.

@MrsTiz: Anyone can comment on a Classifieds listing! You just have to be gold to create a listing:

GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts
HOW DO I CHOOSE?! I love them all!
The ones I USE are reading gold posts, private wall msgs, and gold posts for pics.
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
Private wall comments and semi-hiding my list of thread comments.
bananas / 9357 posts
I like that I can create gold threads and I also like private wall posts.
grapefruit / 4681 posts
Private wall posts
Gold threads so things like pictures stay a little more private
Making posts list in my profile more private
I haven't really used the classifieds or the hide feature yet, but I am sure they are great!

I love them all. I like the privacy features the best. If someone actually found this as my username, they still wouldn't find out much since I've got gold.

Hiding boards is biggest for me, since my m/c. Don't like seeing the due date stuff. I haven't bothered making any gold only threads, but I like being able to see them.
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
Gold posts (especially the picture posts) and private wall posts!
clementine / 984 posts
I like posting/reading gold threads, and I really like the ability to make my posting list more private. I haven't used too many of the gold features yet.

I'm not gold, might decide to go for it- not sure yet. I like the idea of supporting the site's creators, but I find the lack of privacy options unless you pay, a little off-putting, and being unable to access topics I'm interested in a bit frustrating (what about allowing access to read-only and not see poster's identities/ photos they post, or be able to reply without gold? Sometimes people ask gold thread questions I also have, and it's redundant to post the same in a non-gold thread). And I wonder, if you're gold one year, but decide not to renew the following, does your previously-private content become public (such as your hidden wall)? Does your access to your own gold threads get revoked? Do you then have to completely delete your account to maintain your privacy without gold renewal? These questions are quite possibly answered somewhere I haven't read, if so, I'd love to be pointed in that direction to read up.

@erinpye: The idea behind Gold only threads is to offer people a little extra privacy from lurkers and Google searchers! We do show the titles... but we definitely wouldn't want to show any more than that! That said, to address the frustration factor, we built a feature which lets you hide all gold only threads when you're browsing:
http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/update-a-new-show-classic-only-filter
Any gold threads you created stay private (to only gold bees) after your gold membership lapses... they won't suddenly open up or anything. On the flip side though, you wouldn't be able to access any gold threads any more. More details on gold only threads here!

@erinpye: You should be gold now! I manually approve each Gold upgrade, but was just at the grocery store with the kids... back now though!
