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.

Money changes everything, i knew sooner or later something like this would happen. I noticed the monthly goal of $ was always over 100% but still didnt stop the site from collecting more money. All that money isnt needed for JUST the site, obviously collecting a little sum sum . .

& changing the poll is so gay, basically saying we dont have the rights to state our opinions & you should change em to w,e u want

The End
----
Hate to say it, but all these years I've been here right with Outsider. I've been on this site since the eXo days way the fuck back before NGU even existed, even before NextGen fucking Boards existed. Its a business, and in order to pay for it, you have to make changes in the model (as said) in order to survive. Now, whether or not NGU is financially sustainable (you have made quite a bit in donations, way the fuck over 100% every month for well over a year) or not is kind of... blunt to say the least. IMO, you should be fine for at least a handful of years to come. Advertisement income on the other hand is an even bigger financial trust that you never mentioned Outsider; you added in "Elite" yeah, its nice, its tacky, and the newfriends obviously love it. However, like the older guys say: it sucks for us.
Personally I don't care because theres nothing here that I'm missing, and I sure as hell know theres nothing I'm missing from Elite. What I will say though is that I'm reflecting on the fact that it sucks for those who've got Premium now and don't want to be left behind.
There honestly really isn't much of an argument here, just some pissed off Premiums. I don't blame them, but at the same time I do feel remorse for them. Business changes have to happen, yet at the same time business owners need to be respectable of their 'loyal customers' (in this case these guys). I dunno, thats pretty much all I can input for you.
You should, at the least, not forget to focus some of your time into Premium, is what I'm saying pretty much.

Finally. An honest opinion from the inside.
I assume quite a few members bought it for the colors only, which from what I hear is the only good thing about it so far.

What you guys need to understand is that it's a donation.No one is forced to do it, flaming about it is going to get you nowhere. Even if you don't like it, just think you're donating to help keep the forum up. If you don't like Elite, don't buy it. There's no point flaming about it.

It sounded awesome when I first bought it but there really is not anything... I have a few things that I like... but it really isn't all that.
It stated that we would have a dedicated team of modders but Its not good... But here is a good way to look at it... Soon Premium
will be considered Old and we will still have these forums and Premium will be considered better than elite... because the new people
cannot connect to it...
