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.
