I think the whole platinum membership thing was a mistake on George's part.

I like Elite. I've learned more about diet and training here in six months than I learned in maybe five years prior.
Of course there's a certain amount of bullshit to wade through. That's true on any board. Triedia for example will experience the same thing as their membership increases. To me, there a relatively few differences among the different fitness/AS boards. They look the same, a lot of the same types of conversations going on.....the main difference is the membership size.
I think Elite is suffering a little because of it's large numbers. Posting a question on the AS board is getting to be almost useless because of it's volume. But that's really not a problem on the Training, Diet, and Supps boards which is where I get a lot of good info.

That is huge! Plus I am just not that impressed with the way this board has been going lately. Platinum will get very very few new members in my opinion. Not too many people are gonna pay for something they can get for free on many other boards. As more and more people from elite visit other boards and trust me it is happening. Why pay to see their pics here when they are posting them elsewere. Its not as if there is any other benefit to Platinum than that. I mean what else do you get to be able to go to elite select discussion. That is not a major selling point, and as I said before with members posting pics on other boards and such why pay for it here.

I look at it completely differently. First of all, and I speak for myself here, I'm not here to look at pictures. Secondly, for those who are, pictures take up disk space and bandwidth which costs money. I think $12 per month is more than reasonable for people who need to see pictures. For those of us who don't, the other boards (Chat, Anabolic, Training, Diet, Supps, etc...) remain free for anyone who wants to use them.
I didn't pay for the Platinum thing so I could gawk at pictures. I paid because, as someone who works in the IT field, I know what it takes to run a site like this. I also know the value of the information I've received from some of the people on this board. There are some EXTREMELY knowledgeable people on this board from whom I've learned a great deal. So, to me, that's more than worth $12 per month.
I know there are some who can't afford it or who think it's unreasonable. For them, most of the boards remain free. But for those who bitch about Platinum, I have one question for you: Since this is primarily a chat board and not a picture board, how can you complain when you've still got access to all this fitness information for free? No one is forcing Platinum on anyone.
