as bad as some things are here in america, we are allowed our freedom of speech.........but not here on elite.......

my thread titled " change in search results....how money hungry are we? " was locked (closed)........causing me to wonder, how important are our (elite members) opinions here at elite?
 
You do realize this is a private board and there is some mysterious figure that has to pay for the bandwidth and servers that run this site.
 
ok,.......so how did this board survive for 2-3 years before they came up with the platinum membership?

i know my little profile says i've only been here for 2-3 years but i've been here for 4-5.....back then platinum didn't exist.......

your first point will probably be more members now compared to then.....i don;t have access to those numbers but in any case this is not about the survival of the board .......this is about profit......if it was just barely floating and not pulling some profit then my bet is it wouldn't have lasted this long......my point is this:

POWERS THAT BE......DO YOU NOT B

POWERS THAT BE......DO YOU NOT BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE WON'T BE TEMPTED TO GO TO THESE SITES THAT ARE NOT CHARGING FOR ALMOST EVERY SERVICE?

and please don't try to say that the info at these other sites are not as good.......especially when vets and mods from elite are present on these other boards as well......you guys might want to provide some of these vets with some MOTIVATION to only provide services here........

that way you might start a slight monoply........mods: i hope they provide you with at least SOME extras for your services......
 
Suffice it to say that threads like that get locked and closed because the offer nothing. They do nothing but waste bandwidth and offer no solutions. Perhaps if instead of just venting and ranting on about the things you dont like, if you spent some of that energy and actualy stated something you think would improve the board. And simply stating make EF free doesnt count, because EF costs money to run and you may sit here and say everyone will leave and join other boards but there isnt another fitness site on the net who could handle the traffic OR afford to pay for the hardware/bandwitdh to handle the traffic EF has so you are comparing apples to oranges. Also, how many of those other boards will spend money on lawyers to protect your privacy, IP address, posting history etc??? My guess would be none.

I am going to lock this thread now, because once again it is nothing but a rant. All you do is question and offer nothing in return. If you have constructing criticism coupled with ideas on what would add value to YOU please check the thread below and add your constructive comments.
