Just stop locking ex-Platinum users username's after they decide to cancel or their cc expires as was my case. And #2 don't lock out usernames after inactivity for 3 weeks. There will almost always be times where some of the biggest contributors to this site have to be off for more than 21 straight days. It will be a shame to eventually lose all that helped build this site.

Well said Bro.
 
so how does my girlfriend's son run a wrestling board, it's just as in depth as elite......so are you telling me he's got some huge inheritence he's blowing on his board?

So what your saying is he has a board with over 44,000 members and almost 2.5 milllion posts to store?

P.S. As I mentioned in your other post, if all you are going to do is complain, then we dont need to hear it but if you have something constructive to add then by all means chime in.

Now I think this can be rectified fairly simply.

Bingo. Alot of time and effort has been put into this site by some of those cancelled members. It is a shame to see guys being forced to change usernames after 5,000 posts in the past 2 years here because other priorities may have come up that kept them off the board for 3 weeks straight...
 
Perhaps if we coud see a list of say, the top 25 posters to the anabolic board over the past two years. And how many of those guys had their accounts frozen because of not posting for a few weeks...I know offhand that genarr3 would be right up there (amongst I would assume a few other major contributors...) These kind of guys are the life blood of this site, without their knowledge we are let with a whole lot of nothing....
 
sorry, i have been ranting to much and not coming up with positive input.......no more.......what i wanted to happen has......this discussion is all i wanted to take place, with depressive's help that has happened.......zyg, no hard feelings....you've helped me numerous times and that was free, if
anything i'm indebted to you.......

p.s thanks to everyone who put positive input, i learned a lot about why somethings are the way they are and what we can do about them.....

Thank you. Believe me, all the negative posts that get locked/deleted are read so we know that some people dont like things the way they sit. What all of those posts fail to do however is help us come to a happy medium where GS can afford to keep the board running AND have happy members.

That is whay I want everyone to chime in. We all put different values on different things and what has value to me in terms of this board and paying for platinum may not have any value to you. Now, what we need to know is this. Assume that we have to have at least some paying members to keep a board of this size running. Having said that, if I could snap my fingers and make changes, addition etc to the forums, what could I do to make going platinum worthwhile for you?

Obvously GS, nor the mods can think of everything so we need your help. Consider this a brainstorming session, no idea is too menail or stupid. They may not all be feasable, but with everyones input we will have a much better idea of where the exact hangups are, what everyone values and we can then strive to bring this value to you.

Thanks for all those that have added constructive remarks, keep the ideas flowing.

I appreciate your response but I think you missed my point entirely.


I wholeheartedly agree with you trying to make money off of this as #1 - it's a business and #2 - it cost a shitload of money to run a site like this. I'm in the business so I know.

Now my point wasn't that you're losing members as I am sure that you are getting new members by the truckload now that school is out. My point is that you're losing the knowledeable and contributing members. The kind that draw other people to this site and had made Elite #1.

Now I think this can be rectified fairly simply.

Just stop locking ex-Platinum users username's after they decide to cancel or their cc expires as was my case. And #2 don't lock out usernames after inactivity for 3 weeks.

mvmaxx,

I appreciate your comments.

I know that those policies are no fun -- that's the way they were designed -- it is not quite so comfortable as it used to be to remain a non-supporter of the site. We need members to invest $8.98 a month to keep us online. Our knowledgeable members, like yourself, who spend so much time here, need to be the first ones to support us -- putting their money where their mouth is! Encouraging our most active members to become assets instead of liabilities is the only way we will be able to grow and stay around for years to come.

We have seen no indication that we are losing members. And we are always working to make the Platinum features better and better. I sincerely hope you will support us and consider upgrading your account again. I value your contributions to Elite Fitness.

OUCH!!

What about a free trial? Say a "Free Plat Weekend." Let people see for themselves what their missing, instead of the EF shill squad telling us what we're missing.
