Speaking of videos, have you checked out the WATCH TALK FORUMS Channel on YouTube? Have you subscribed? The channel has lots of video items that will appeal to a broad user base - it's not just watches. Check it out!
My hope is to not only bring video content to our members and visitors here on WATCH TALK FORUMS, but also to reach the YouTube audience who don't know about our community. We get about 200,000 visitors here monthly on WTF, but YouTube gets millions of visitor every day, so I'm hoping this will be a GREAT opportunity to expand our community.
Here's what I like you to do - please visit our new video channel on YouTube:
Please "subscribe" to the WATCH TALK FORUMS YouTube channel (You'll see a little yellow button at the top of the screen which says "subscribe." The more subscribers we have, the greater the "snowball" effect of popularity which will drive people to the channel. This will help draw attention to the channel, the videos produced on the channel, and help grow our community.
Video content will really help improve our community and your experience here in the months and years to come, so I hope you're as excited as I am about this news!

2011 WATCH TALK FORUMS PATRON PROGRAM CAMPAIGN
Every day, we're seeing the ranks of WTF Members joining the Patron Program grow! Thanks SO MUCH to everyone who has joined the program!! We're on our way to the goal of 1000 Patron members in 2011!
For 2011, we're enhancing the WTF Patron Program significantly, and providing some strong benefits which only Patron Program members will enjoy.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PATRON PROGRAM? WHY IS WATCH TALK FORUMS ASKING FOR DONATIONS FROM MEMBERS?
The Patron Program began at the end of 2008 as a way to help fund the growth of WTF. Our commercial WTF Forum Sponsors essentially cover the basic overhead costs of the site. However, we have no budget for things we desperately need like travel (to get to places like Basel or SIHH for example so we can bring our community a first hand account of the new watches which are introduced every year) and advertising (so that we can draw in even more participation in our various forums which is more fun for everyone), and compensating the Admin Team for article work (who work as volunteers currently) so we can generate more professional content for the site which we all can enjoy.
We started the Patron Program with the understanding that the primary benefits to the contributing member was the recognition within the community for being a Patron Program Member, and the satisfaction which comes from contributing to a worthwhile cause. Based on the extremely low participation in the Patron Program in 2009, it was clear that there was not enough incentive for Registered Members to become Patron Program Members.
SO WHAT'S CHANGED WITH THE 2011 PATRON PROGRAM? WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CONTRIBUTING FINANCIALLY TO WATCH TALK FORUMS?
Last year we started rolling out our brand new Patron Program. This program is designed to provide a lot of added value to our Patron Program Members, with MANY new and positive benefits for them, including:
NEW and EXCITING system functionality - the "My Watch Box" feature which allows you to showcase your collection for all to see!
Special pricing and discounts which WTF Forum Sponsors will ONLY make available to WTF Patron Program Members!!!
Special pricing and discounts which WTF Forum Sponsors will ONLY make available to WTF Patron Program Members!!!

Sales Forum posting privileges - Since the start of this year only Patron Program members and Forum Sponsors are permitted to post in the Sales Forum.
