Chairman status, is it worth it?

[Ulter]

You should talk to other Chairman members and get some opinions on it.

Sounds like the only way you will know is to do it for a month and see how you like it.

C3bodybuilding,

Thank you for supporting EliteFitness.com as a Platinum Member and thanks for making this your home since 2002. The support of members like you make these forums you trust and depend on possible.

I created the Chairman Membership to give our sponsors total control over their threads. But, I did not want to restrict the Chairman Membership features to sponsors spending several grand a month, so I opened it up to our other members as well.

I think a Chairman Membership is worth the investment if you spend considerable time here. Many guys are on the site for three or more hours a day. If I was dedicating that much time to our cause, then I would definitely invest in a Chairman Membership to make sure that I got the very best experience possible. And it is really not that expensive at about $2.46 a day - for the ultimate set of features. You can read about the features here: www.elitefitness.com/reports/chairman

If you are here only five or six hours a week, then I think a Platinum Membership is the way to go. You get a great feature set and you get unrestricted search.

I know that there are lots of opinions here about both memberships and we do not censor any of them as long as they are constructive. However, when soliciting opinions, I would make sure to weight the ones you get from current or former Chairman Members a little higher than the ones from someone who has never participated.

And thank you again for your support of the site. You contribution is appreciated more than you know regardless of the level of your support.

George, thanks for the post. I was looking for a link just like that for about two hours last night! I was half asleep and I couldn't find info on it anywhere, which is why I started this thread. The option that allows use of all the ebooks makes it worth it alone!

The wife was asking me what I wanted for Christmas and she knew about this option and asked if I would want it.

I thought you basically got a bunch of karma, some cool logos, and a few extra features, I had no idea you got all of that.

Everyone else, thank you so much for the feed back. This is the type of info I was looking for, not a flame. I can't tell you how proud I am of my EF members that this thread turned out so nicely.

Thank you Omega for your kind words and support.

And no, if I do become a chairman, I would *never* abuse the power like that one person did a long time ago. I hope my good brothers and sisters who have known me on here for a long time know I do not give two $hits about bombs, deleting a post or anything like that at all. I just love EF and I spend a lot of time here (my wife would say too much time lol) and this is something I am putting a lot of thought into.

Thank you all again for your responses and keeping it a good thread.

I like COTB. The ability to close and moderate your own threads is nice. Also you get to keep your karma when karma hitting someone. You can accumulate and you can also add to someone elses karma without sacrifice. Also the plats cannot red you , LOL.

The ebooks are you get access to are also good if you're a non steroid user and thinking about starting up such as myself. I've never got into gear due to where I was doing contract work (state gov't now doing some fed gov't work) There is good information there to read if you're a gear newbie.

If you spend any amount of time here I think it's a good option to have

In my own case, I think the chairman membership is really beneficial. Often, threads get started and go way off target. When I got chairman ability, I was able to start threads and get rid of unconstructive posts, or off-tangent B.S. And when people repeatedly do stuff like that, you can permanently ban them from ever replying in any of your threads. It's a nice option for someone in my position, who has a vested interest in keeping threads I start constructive and drama-free, while remaining open to different points of view.
