Here are mine -

  • Firstly you have added a big new feature to NGU and you haven't took the time to design your own logo for such a big feature you have just stole one...
  • All of the money will go to server cost and forum improvements? Well NGU already makes enough money to pay for server costs and i do not see any forum improvements coming off this whatsoever I mean it took 2 years to get a home page when it should of took 2 days...
  • I would presume the only benefit of this would be that you get free challenge lobby's but you can get them anyways in the normal forum, i don't consider changing your name ect to be enough for someone to buy it when you can do that with vBuxNeeda
  • I can see this taking over premium as you are really pushing it by not even showing the premium benefits here You must login or register to view this content. when you can do most of them things with premium...


    /end rant post what criticism with ELIT3 you have here...

that seems to be NGU's point with elite, it has replaced premium.
That to me is the only bad thing about it. It's shit for premiums who have recently just bought premium, and for every other premium losing everything more beneficial than reg members, fair enough the premium forums are still there, but with elite who is actually still going to post in premium?

IMO they should bring back premium and run it along side elite, that way people don't seem forced into making a monthly subscription on hopes of content that might actually not be there.


Also talking of content, the only thing that worries me about elite is who is adding the "exclusive content"? They only two worthy contributors are Derek and Ihatecompvr, and even at that Derek makes sure anything he releases is on his own site before NGU, so that only leaves Compvr.. Of course it all comes down to elite members contributing stuff to the section, but with the vacant Premium section I can't see it flourishing with activity, and with it only costing $4 a month the leaking is going to be terrible.

I will be donating tomorrow, and If I see ANY of my personal logins that I posted in the orginal elite forums in the new one, I will be furious. Same thing happend when they took away private premium, they took all the content and released it in the reg premium forums, and all my logins was changed within minutes.

Wait so they removed the premium option...? If they did then /facepalm..

It's been awhile since I was a very active member of NGU but when I do come back from time to time I see the new "improvements" made. Honestly I still loved the old way of doing things where public option of you was more than your rep, vbux, premium, or elite. I paid the $10 to help the site, not to get the perks. Now that they have elite, it makes me feel I lost my moneys worth.

Elite is a fucking scam. Outie already has well enough money to fund NGU> + All the stuff in elite can surely be found elsewhere if you looked hard enough. Inb4 all the admins have rolexes courtesy of the NGU morons.

Understandably, I know this is a rant thread, but just to be fair, no one is forcing anyone to buy the service. :p
Secondly, all staff (besides Outie obviously) are volunteers. They don't make money off of being admins. Outsider
is the only one that makes a profit from NGU. And you're a member of this forum just like everyone else, so calling
people who buy the service morons isn't exactly respectable or nice. We're a community. No name calling :pedo:
