Death is hereditary
Fare-well premium I don't want you to go at all but hey, it wasn't us who changed it.

Disclaimed: You don't like I said? Tough it's the internet I can say what I want. This is also my opinion if you want to express yours your more then welcome to, and if you want to argue, go ahead just don't expect me to give a fuck.
Edit: Alright well seems as the staff members don't want me to tell you that they did indeed change the poll.
It was:
Elite
Is
Fucking
Stupid
And they changed it to:
Elite
Is
Fucking
AWESOME
Also I will keep editing this back to the way I wanted to post it. There's nothing in the rules that state I can't do what I did.

I've been here for over 3 years. I had just got premium right before elite came out. Premium was a whole nother world! I feel if I bought premium today I could still get my money's worth just from the item that are in these forums already. And you can't say you've watched this site change over the years when you haven't even been here for 2 yet.

I've been here 3 years, I've seen the site change, seen staff members all over the shop. When I joined, the staff were chosen based on what they could accomplish and how much they could help the site. In about late 2010/early 2011, it changed. People were promoted due to popularity, were on NGU 24/7, etc. The latter, I don't care, as it proves that they are dedicated to the site. But more recently, I've seen more and more people being promoted who I haven't really seen. I hope it's going back to the ways of 2009, where people were promoted based on what they could achieve.

Are you high?
Wow, thats all i can say. I dont post here often and i got premium very early after i signed up here, about 20 posts in i think. It was a much better site back then, It felt more like a community and paying the 10$ seemed worth it.
There were hardly any Trolls and ass holes who correct your spelling after every post you make. It was VERY good. Now i feel like us premiums who helped grow the site are being pushed to the bottom of the heiarachy to cater for the new intake of members. Its all getting concentrated on the new users, trying to get them all to sign up for elite and other forms of membership.
For us Premiums, I get the impression that the phelosophy of this site now is,
"You gave us your money, now fook off!!"
I am going to guess that after, say 1 year elite will be dead, and a new branch of "donating for extras" withh be out there, ready to pounce on your money.
*(Insert hate below)*

You see though, that is not the case. In no way were we trying to push premium's down the ladder, it was simply time for a change. Premium was made back in 2008, with little-to-no plan other than what was stated to be given (and you all received what you purchased). Most sites now have subscriptions, and this system is so much better than the unprofessional '
onator' system. All-in-all, I can understand where everyone is coming from, but you had premium for years and years for a mere 10$. You got your money's worth.

The best part about this site was that it wasn't like most sites. You could come here and get great mods along with great support from the community. Now it's just another site.

That may be the case in the way a Moderator like your self looks at it, but put yourself in our shoes.
Say you were an average premium, payed 10$ for a membership, hoping for some extra stuff from the site. You were convinced by the description that your 10$ will make you recieve much better things than a non-member. You see the premium section full on new things to see and download, your thinking great, i cant wait for more things like this.
We were cept waiting for new things, nothing happened over the last 4 years to the "Premium" section, its not even premium anymore really is it, its "donator"
I dont know what was so hard about even thinking of adding extra benefits to premiums, we helped this site out big time. We got over 1k$ every month for this site for a membership, i would atleas thought we could of has some more extra benefits, bar the orange name and the dead premium section.
Im not trying to have a go, or cause an argument but i do think this site could of atleast given the premiums a heads up that things were changing, or even given us some of the benefits that elite get. We were the members that made this site imo and i dont think people should forget that fact.

I think that if you're going to make the site more professional, you should start acting more professional too. Calling a user a Dumbass is not highly looked upon.
