Why does Elite cost money? What is the money going towards?
Elite helps pay for the server that keeps the site up along with maintenance and protection. The server is not free unfortunately and can get to be pretty pricey, so we need your help to pay for all that stuff. From time to time you also get Elite only exclusives including giveaways. The money also goes towards new things the site brings to you (design,features,layout).
Can I share what is in the Elite section to Non-Elites?
No you may not leak Elite under any circumstance. Super top secret stuff in there, so be sure to keep it on the down low! In all seriousness, it is against the NGU Elite Terms and Conditions to share anything in the Elite section to a Non-Elite Member or your Xploder license. The same rule apply's for the Premium section as well. Failure to abide by this policy can cause your Elite/Premium Membership to be revoked without being entitled to a refund. You can also get a serious infraction and or ban for leaking Elite exclusive content.
Will I revert to Premium when my Elite expires? How do I get Premium?
If you purchased a Premium membership when Premium was available, then the answer is a yes to the first question, if not then no you will not revert to Premium. Premium is no longer available to purchase. Only the users that had purchased it before Elite came out are able to stay in it, so that makes it an exclusive group.
What type of Payment methods are accepted to purchase an Elite membership?
PayPal is the only payment method available at the moment to purchase an Elite membership. If you don't have a PayPal account, it's fast and easy to make one. Click You must login or register to view this content.!

What is Elite Founder mean? How do I become an Elite Founder?
Elite Founders where some of the VERY first users that got an Elite Subscription, so they belong to an exclusive group and get a special Elite Founder title. Elite Founder's also got some exclusive content and perks when it was first introduced. Unfortunately, you can not get Elite Founder anymore because it was only available for a limited time.
