I have been asked by several members recently about the Beoworld membership level called "Founder Member" When Beoworld first opened up on 16th April 2007 the first 500 people who signed up as Gold members were given the status of "Founder Member" and whilst most of the "Founder Members" are no longer Gold members there status remains. As of today there are just 22 "Founder Members" who are still Gold members. Keith..

Hi Keith, Thanks for this information. "Joined on Mon, Apr 16 2007" I did not remember this date, time is passing so fast. Happy to be one of the remaining 22. All the best for Beoworld's future. Yann.

As you can see in the archive forum section I used to be one of the founders … Seems that was lost in the forum conversion :-( So we are 23 left then? ? hx

I was a Founder Member and have maintained Gold status since 2007 but seem to have lost that now….

I've been a founder member, but after some forum changes I lost that status too. Is it possible to get this status back ?

Same here. Founder member from start and always kept the same status.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
