I figured this had been brought up before, but a search said otherwise. So does 'elite' status get you any benefit?? I know you can never have been banned in order to get it, so I can't (unless being banned 7 times is cause in and of itself). But do you get any sort of privilege for being elite?

I don't think there's any rule about never having been banned.

That said the benefits are great. I love the ATOT complimentary credit card. ;)

Yes, there was. It went right down the sh1tter along with the rule about "in before the lock" being a bannable offence. They enforce whatever they remember to enforce on any given day, not necessarily sticking to their guns.

The highlight of being Elite is a 40% discount off the cover price of an Anandtech The Magazine annual subscription.

Should we tell them about the "ban 1 member of your choice" card we get every Christmas?

I don't know about elite, but I'll bet nickels to rat terds that there is an invitation only forum section. With a group of people as status oriented as we have here, it's a given.

RSVP invites to the annual BBQ at Anand's house should be showing up in the mail anytime soon.
