Elite is frozen now, can't join or pay dues. I gather it was a pay pal problem. Dues are $5.00 a month, less if longer term. Keep watching .The RIU penguin is working on it.

I can't WAIT for the Elite to start working again. I want. I think everyone should become Elite, start having fun in those Elite forums damn it.

I absolutely DETEST the idea of getting a badge that says "Elite" on it that one pays for. It marginalizes other members, for one thing, and creates a class system that, in my honest opinion, does not belong on a site like this. Make the badge say something like RIU supporter or similar, but to call it Elite puts an entirely different flavor on it. Makes those who don't have it to be something "less", and that's bullshit. I will not pay.

AWWWW, come on Seamaiden, it's not a party without YOU!
I don't think much about the ELITE badge. I think anyone who lets not having an Elite badge make them think less of themselves, or think that it makes US think less of them...well that's just silly, and that sounds more like personal issues anyways. And I'm sure I could live without the Elite forums.
But once someone pointed out to me that it's just a nice way to help give back to the site, and I'm totally down for that. I like it here, and I kinda take for granted that this website will be up and running whenever I want to log on and get some info, or shoot the shit. It can't be easy to keep it running, especially since it seems like it's been GROWING so much lately....
So I'm down to get an Elite membership to help the site, I just think it'd be fun if we all did it, cuz then MORE people are giving to the site and...I dunno. Doesn't seem like it could hurt.
But...I'd like to go on pretending we're just doing it to go start a party in those Elite forums, so shhhh, don't tell.
Do I get a gun? Guns make me feel powerful.we have nazi meetings. you wouldn't like it. lol

It's not the paying should one choose to that I have an issue with, it's the lable, "Elite", specifically. Lots of sites need member support or they can't afford the servers, additional bandwidth costs, etcetera. I've never seen one, though, that actually names the supporting members "Elite". They all call them "name of site supporter".
Besides, you'll have to party without me, I fell asleep HOURS ago!
