I signed up for EliteFitness...

[Terinox]

I don't know why, I only like AR, but I signed up to EF just for the hell of it, one question for those who are also members there, how come you can't access all their forums? What is this thing about paying a fee or some shit like that!

Can someone explain this? Thnx.

[double o seven]

i'm signed up there also but don't spen much time there because of that. apperantly, george is trying to make money off of members by selling platinum memberships that would allow you access all forums. without the platnum bulls**t, you are limited to what you can do (THAT SUX).

Guys without getting into an inter-board flaming war I'll just say this. You want to get disrespected and ripped off then go over there. I spent over 2 years on elite and have recently resigned as a moderator there and have sworn NEVER to return to the sh*t pile.

[Shredz]

i was thinking of signing up..but why...i am already at the best place

In support of AR's no-flaming policy, I am committed to the principle that if I cannot say something positive about another board, I won't say anything at all.

So let me say this abougt Elite . . .

T-Nox,
One of the biggest disadvantages of Elite is that it is HUGE. When I sign on to AR and start reading posts I always see familiar names and avatars. People whose posts I've read before and grown fond of. I never felt this was possible at Elite.

In answer to your question, I don't know about the whole money thing. I have never seen another board that sells memberships like that.

Here's a suggestion, if you want to cruise another board go check out AnabolicFitness.com.

BTW - don't forget, AR is king

Well, I am a frim believer that a discriminating mind can pick up good information (and screen the BS) for a lot of sources. If you learn something there, great, share it with us here. But don't get buried in the BS!

I went over there once. Signed up and found out I had to pay for it. I figured, OK but let me see what the deal is over there first.

I went through about 10-15 threads and thought
"You want me to pay for this?"

In true NJ/NY fashion my response was, Get the F outta Here.

you crack me up sometimes Diesel

The women's forum over there moves much faster and is much more informative than the womens forum here. But the family here at AR is much tighter than the Elite family.....

[Kid Shred]

I actually stubled onto AR while I was on Elite, Never been back since!

[daveroth]

Bouncer-tell us what you didn't like about it.so we can save some money?

Well, if you're Platinum, you get to get into the "dirty" chat and the dirty pictures... but, if you're all about fitness and learning, then you don't need to be Platinum to benefit from their site.

Back in the days when you could access ALL forums, they did have tons of porn and pictures on there which some folks may like... BUT Bolex has tons of porn for FREE...

So, basically Elite makes you pay for their porn.... but not health and fitness advice.

In that case, maybe I should join the EF board under a female identity


Well thnx for all the info guys, and from what you've told me so far, i'm not gonna step foot back in there! I'll stick to the place I love, which of course is AR!!!

I have to admit though, it was actually TNT's post that really made me think about how bad EF really is

[Sicilian30]

I also hear that the Feds and DEA are watchin that board closely.. that alone made me stay away. Elite draws alot of attention, and i don't like attention... must be the Italian in me?

Thats pretty fucked up. But you can understand why.

[EXCESS]

I prefer AR because we're a family. Elite is too big to develop those kind of relationships.

[Big Rush]

Too much flaming and hostility at Elite...
