Go to "User CP" and click "Paid Subscriptions" Once your subscription is set up, go to "User CP" and go to the "Groups" section, and join the "Premier Member" group to make name Red . Hope this helps.
To answer the "Why" part of your question. I became a paying member because I use this site daily. I also use it to buy/sell gear. I think it's only fair to contribute to something I benefit from. With that being said, they cut out the perks of being a member aside from my name being red. With this whole lil ad thing I think it would be nice if the paying members at least got the opportunity to use this site without all the ads or something along those lines.
My biggest issue isn't the fact that all the pics are plastered with ads but that they are using the users personal photos to generate income which I believe is more of a moral issue.
