Ok I've kept my mouth shut on the whole plaitnum thing but for the people that are bitching about not being able to afford $11.97 per month just to afford their juicing habit is just wrong. I think you people really need to re-evaluate your priorities in life. I've never done a cycle yet and I don't know if I will be able to keep up with the contribution due to my debt but I have learned so much from this place that I would rather give up half if not a whole cycle for what I have learned here. All you people bitch about cencorship, pics not able to be seen, and the best threads being inaccesible b/c you can't afford a pitiful $12 a month is pathetic. It's funny how I've seen people bitch then proclaim they are leaving then either come back or come back with a different handle. IF YOU PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT SO MUCH THEN LEAVE. FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT LEAVE THERE ARE 5-10 PEOPLE THAT WILL JOIN. So keep on with your petty bitching. No one really cares and you'll end up just like you were before you found this site. Desperate and alone!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA it was only a matter of time before georgies little foot soldiers came out of the works!

keep it up buddy you'll be a mod in no time!

Let me explain to you why $12 is unreasonable.

Firstly, this boards content is nothing without its members. Why do you direct the praise that belongs to fellow members to the owner of this board instead? Do you not see a problem in the following scenario? Joe Blow spends some quality time writing an article on insulin sensativity for example, Joe then posts his article on a forum for his fellow members to see. Joes post then gets sold without royalties through a 'platinum' system never seeing a dime.

Secondly, profits are already being generated through supplement sales and advertsisng passed off as friendly advice (condoms, casinos, porno, etc. etc.)

Thirdly, countless other forums operate freely the advantage of this forum is its number of members and often quality of information PROVIDED BY ITS MEMBERS. These members are not being respected.. instead they are being used to make a quick buck for an already very wealthy man who I assure you has NO problems paying for bandwidth.

You can tell me to 'fuck off if you dont like it' and continue to dirty your tounge in moderater/admin outholes but this is my opinion and I am expressing it.

If I am banned for this post so be it, goodbye.

Like I said over at the anabolic section that IF a non-platinum member creates a thread, it should NOT be moved to the classic board. As for all these boards like chat, pics, etc these take a tremendous amount of bandwidth. Just ask Mr spot me over at BBX. He had to stop the pics/porn section b/c the bandwidth was getting to be too much. I ONLY come here for the knowledge about aas. A lot of people come here for the chat and sex boards and are the ones that are bitching the most about censorship. These are the poeple that I have the problem with. AGAIN if you don't like the rules, leave.

 

[BoneCruncher]

Are you really that naive that you think platinum is about covering costs? its about profit.

If I were to become platinum, back up all the pictures put them into yahoos FREE briefcase service and post the link for everyone do you really think the thread would last? be honest now!

 

[Delinquent]

A link to another website is one thing but actually posting the pic here is another when it comes to bandwidth cost. I have never seen any objections to people posting links to their pics.

I just think it's kind of Cute, that I can't respond or even SEE my own thread.

It sucks because a lot of people, RIGHT NOW, were in the middle of the program, or JUST ABOUT TO start on the program.

The thread had a grip of good information about dieting in general that was posted by a bunch of members.

It was threads like those that people who were not even registered would read and email me about. Then I would tell those people to register, then pm me , or post their question on the boards. Which they would do.

Now.

Bloop.

No more.

I am estimating that I got at least 15-20 people to register on these boards after them emailing me about the diet.

Whatever though.

Let's all talk about Saltwater Reef Aquariums...

I have a 50 gallon, with sps', clams, some softies, xenia, and pretty damn cute lps and fishys. .. .. What do you got?

GrEAT POST MAN!!! fucking awesome

I agree. George is getting real greedy. Theres no shame in running a company for profit. But when members start posting detailed info intended to be freely acessiable for everyone, and elite claims properity rights over that info and charges a fee to view it??? Ur fucked.

Sure its "georges servers", and this whole company is "georges", and george this and george that - like we all wanna suck his dick. But guess what.
Anyone can buy a few servers and hire an IT team to make a flashy fitnesss board. A few more fuckups like this and all the members who made this board will walk.

If "George" has any business sense, the post will be removed from plantinum and reinstated on the AS board asap.

DELINQUENT

ITS VERY FOOLISH TO ASSUME THAT CHAT MEMBERS DO NOT USE THE INFORMATION POSTED IN OTHER FORUMS. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELECTS TO POST IN CHAT AND NOT IN ANABOLIC, DOENT MEAN THAT SOMEONE ISNT READING UP IN ANABOLIC TO GET INFO HE/SHE NEEDS.

FUNNY HOW YOU THINK YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO ANYONE WHO POSTS ON THE CHAT BOARD.

Maybe you should stop and rethink. I can easily afford the $11.97/month. It is the principle of the whole thing to me. Why should I "have" to pay to see members pics? Porn? (Which there are tons of sites that kick the shit out of this one as far as porn goes and they are FREE).

As far as people leaving and people coming.....this board has "lost" a good number of quality people in the last 6 - 9 months. And no don't go by the date registered on my profile......with the whole switch and all that bullshit my date was lost, I have been a member since Dec. 2000 and read the board for a few months before that.

As for being desperate and alone before I "found" this board....... LMAO.....ya you know all about everyones life whether it be online or offline don't you? Desperate and alone.......that's fucking classic.

Wow you would give up a whole cycle for what you have learned here?
