Exactly! A great number of non-plat members can simply not afford it. Plat has nothing to do with how what you know or how big you are. I would sure as hell not want advice from someone who is plat and 120lbs vs. non plat and has devoted a liftime to the sport. Many cant afford it or choose not to. When they have extra money and feel like it they sign up themselves. The type of system you suggest is not thought out properly and a real shity idea. The idea of helping only those who have money is biased and unjust! I will always help anyone who is in need. If they have money or not. The reason so many people sign up for plat is, becoming a paying member is not totaly shoved down their throat. Please tell me of any succesfull bb sites that are pay only?
Agree with all points. Great post.
Guys think logicly about this for a second. you make the site paying only, you're gonna turn away all the new members. these may be guys that have great knowledge and now that knowledge is not here coz theyre not here. but thats ok, coz we have some pretty smart guys here. the bigger problem is the new guys that dont know shit. most likely these are the kids that save up every penny for their dbol cycle. and once they come to the site for some advice they realize that they dont have the money to sign up, so they say "fck it". a month later theres an article in the paper about a young kid who damaged his liver from steroids, adding more fuel to the fire. thus refusing help to new guys is counter productive for us all. coz the more kids getting on the paper as steroid victims, the more the govnt has to crack down on these drugs. so honestly guys think logicaly for a minute here, if you take away the free membership, you;re really denying these new guys the crucial knowledge they need for their safety. think about all the guys (not really kids) that came here ready for their cycle, then learned new things from the members and decided to wait and do it right. that will not happen if we have to pay for memberships. and ill tel you right now, if we have to pay for it, ill leave, i dont really need the site. but you need to look at the big picture and what affects the community, not the individual. if you make it pay only, the free guys will leave and the paying guys will stay, so george wont be making much more than he already is. and for all you guys saying "if you can cycle, you can pay for the site". a cycle is my priority, the site is not. ye sure i can afford it but at the expense of something else, something more important. so, realy guys, thats a stupid argument.
