Has anyone joined and wished the had not? Don't know if is worth it with all of these free boards. Curious on your thoughts.
Is it worth going PLATNUM?

No.
Its a rip-off in my opinion! 10.00 each month = 120.00 dollars each year! That could buy you at least 120 DBALL tabs! IN addition I hate the fact that George asks the mods to copy pictures of all the members that post their pics to a section that only paying members can see. Many times the people posting the pics cant see them themselves, because they are not full-fledged platinum members.
SAve your money
Oh yea lets see how long this post lasts beofre it gets deleted

I'd say yes. Not only does it support this board, which provides basically a Hush service without the nonsense, but there is content from mods and vets you won't see on the main board.
I think that's natural. Stuff here gets lost quickly in the flurry of activity. Moreover, there is a group of people who is mature and who will more readily step in to give advice or make commentary - not that they aren't here (they are).
About the advertizing of "pink" and whatnot, it's not really my thing. And I don't often post on EF, except in spurts. And I'm not a chatter or picture poster, but...
I haven't considered it money wasted at all. And when I joined, George gave the information to send a Money Order to. And the account set-up was a piece of cake.

Dear friends,
I appreciate all of you that support the site with a platinum membership. You keep us online and also get the added Platinum features like uncensored real-time chat, special reports, pictures, private boards, NO ADS, and much more.
Additionally, when you told us it was too expensive, we listened and now offer a quarterly membership that costs only $8.98 a month or about the price of a movie ticket.
One thing you will not have are members like our friend Monkey_Power -- who is critical of Platinum having never actually been a member himself. Of course, I imagine most Platinum members are glad he is not one of them as a search reveals his contributions to the free board have ranged from a critique of Cornholio and RyanH's moderation abilities to rhetorical questions about what might happen if one drops the soap in prison. Very worthy topics indeed, but ones best kept off the Platinum boards.
Seriously, we appreciate everyone's support. It keeps us online and allows us to bring you even more features.

LMAO!
Is that you AMAF? Are you back again?
More than worth it, priceless IMO
Not only am I a platinum member, I signed up for George's consultation program! One of the things George suggested to me was to get on the boards! Talk to the MOD's, which I did thank God! I had never done a cycle, didn't know squat, in one months time all my believed myths about AS were dispelled and I truly feel I have gained some friends. Almost everyone on this board cares about one another, it's like being a member of a select fraternity. Where else can you find complete strangers willing to give you years fo hard earned knowledge so that you won't, grow titties, won't waste your money, won't waste your time, and most importantly won't hurt yourself? If you're not williing to pay 10 fucking bucks a month then piss on ya!

Seriously, the platinum board has a lot of good stuff, and if there is a good thread, it doesn't get buried right away from a high volume like this board soemtimes.
I.e. the boards are slow....
This is how I feel.
Personally is it worth 9 or 10 a month? Well what you get in addition to the free stuff is not worth 9 or 10 a month.. BUT
I feel that the free advice here is worth that, so after using thie boards for free for a short period of time I signed up. I did this because I got great advice from some great veterans right away. These people did this for free.. I don't fell like I owe anyting, but I do feel like supporting this resource in general.
What i don't like is that everytime I go to www.elitefitness.com I get two pop ups... I feel like George is really trying to make a buck with all the crap for sale around here.
No offense to you george, I respect ya, and definitely respect making a living.

I don't have much to say the monkey guy..
But what good is having 120dbol tabs if you don't know your ass from your elbow about AAS? Anything, and I mean ANYTHING you could ever want to know about AAS or fitness in general is here. There is a wealth of information at your fingertips.. If you are too lazy to use TFSE, which you may very well be, you can try posting these questions and wait however long it takes to get a bunch of quasi-coherant responses.. Or you could join platinum, check out the 'best of Elite' and get no-question-about-it, tried and true answers to your questions in a few minutes..
It took years for the vets here to aquire all this knowledge.. Now it's yours.. Learn from our mistakes, gains, trial and error, and years of expirience.
Takes the guesswork out of your AAS cycle and your health.

the bad thing about platinum... and i´ve posted this some other time is that people that know elite are going to be able to make a solid community, but i´m not so shure that it will be a growing one!
i myself can´t join platinum but wouldn´t mind to... i´ve bean here reading posts in elite for a long time, and i think i owe this board something, right now elitefitness can´t be on my bill but it will be.
i understand that the change of elite to platinum is shurely unfair for newbies out there, but they´ll just have to have faith....

it´s unfair on newbies (spelling?) cus they haven´t had a chance to really know what elitefitness is about and why it´s good... i´ve bean here for a while and i´ve got a mini database in my computer thanks to elitefitness but thats only info... elitefitness is about the people, and the guys with most knowledge and pull become moderators and are platinum 4free so they stick together, and thats unfair but it builds up a team that wouldn´t really stick together that much...
what newbies c is not what elite is about!!! it´s all the info + the people, thats why i´ve coming to the normal boards, i come back once in a while, but only to use the search button and i can c that the quality of the site has dropped 4 non platinum users a lot.
when i get a few things in check i´ll come back as platinum on elite but i thinks it´s only a debt i have with this site
