MODS! Damn IT!

Do ou realzie we could cut down on 99% of the repeated threads if we were allowed to "search" like every other f-ing website? I know, I know...I need to become Plat and someday I will, but I am as knowledgeable as 99% of the bros here on diet and as knowledgeable as some/many (although still learning) when it comes to trainings and aas use. However, so of the "basic" questions I do have I can't find answers to cause i can't f0ing search.

WOuldn't it be better to maybe give a different perk to Plats other than searching? Like viewing profiles of members, or attaching files, or something.....but searching really shouldn't be a plat benefit....agree?



PS> Not a slam against the board..........I love it here and have been one of the few that has seen it progress from very few members, to the biggest and badest around...just a suggestion for the "box".......work on it damn it!

I have often wondered the same, but what it comes down to is if you want to hang with the best, you gotta pay up.

IMO unless you are plat, you really have no reason to even be here. Plenty of other boards with free search.

support the site and turn Plat bro
(dont get mad its the truth)

Elite is so great because it needs revenue to support the multiplicty of tasks and work to be done.

See, I keep saying I will, and I truly will, but when shineboxes like you say shit like that when I have been here much longer than you, it drivies me up the fucking wall.........

No reason to even be here? Are you fucking kidding me man.....thanks....you have made my soon to be leg session fantastic!

Glad I could help bro, now chow down and hit those weights

Straight answer: Every time someone does a heavy search, we take it in the shorts because we've got so f'ing much stuff to index. One of our wish list items is a dedicated search machine.

Those don't grow on trees, as much as some people like to point to a pissant $9.95 hosting joint -- as though that has ANYTHING to do with a site like this one.

 

[OMEGA]

this is a private matter
but there are "layers" of expertise and man power and professionals that go into a elite businesses.

all of which have to be paid for
just sharing the economics behind it.

Its why Elite and Bodybuilding. com are the best at what they do.

 

[OMEGA]

btw I hope to not sound like a shill
I respect your point of view and am simply sharing mine as well

but I have been around, and really good boards fell to the way side for they undercut themselves....

you need the best in this and that has to be paid for.

That revenue is not coming from platties. I HIGHLY doubt the percentage of rev from memberships is even remotely in the vicinity of sponsors / advertising.

A few years ago, maybe 5 or 6 years, searches were all free,


I don’t remember when you had to be a Platinum member.


I have been a platinum member in the past and don’t remember the searches or board any differently.



I agree with amply 02 and when I get a job will become a platinum member, simply to support the board. No other real reason.


I want to support this site as much as I can afford, come November, this site might be like being a Christian in the catacombs of Rome after the crucifixion of Christ.

not my business to know that
I am just sharing what it takes to run Elite outfits

Bro, do you have any idea of how much this site generates in advertising for board sponsors. This site does not need money. I spoke to a source I deal with who used to be a sponsor here and he told me what ef wanted for him to have a banner here, it made me sick.

I know how much it cost for a banner bro, in fact I have one


To say this site does not need money is a joke. They need money from sponsers, banners, and Plats to stay at the top. Plain and simple.

Good question. I suppose we'll never really know unless the EF accountant leaks the info or something, lol.

The difference between Plat Search and Google site: is the difference between being struck by lightning and struck by a lightning bug.

True..When i was plat the search feature was awesome....

But google is the only alternative left for non-plats...

 

[pintoca]

jkurz, you finally bulking bro?

Plat is the only alternative...

Fixed. You're welcome.

Killah is welcome to "doubt" all he wants, but I think it's pretty damn rude for someone to belittle the importance of Plat memberships to the site, as long as he is getting his for free.
