The first several years I was here I was plat. It was good because you could talk smack here without getting banned and Plat status helped in your defense. Now Plat doesn't have any benefits except contributing to a site that seems to ban anyone who speaks out. EF is more like a dictatorship with few elites these days than a place to come, get information and socialize. I used to be proud to pay for the product and environment that was given but now I am just waiting it out and hoping it returns to its old form sometime soon.
