My guess would be they have access to their own private forum and that's about it. Kindof amusing some of the other stuff that has been posted though, I personally like the "Ban 1 member of your choice" cards that they get for christmas.

One of the better perks is being able to send the Mods names to add to the ban dart board.

I think there needs to be a 'PM an Elite' campaign to see who will crack.

Or we could all just PM Dave.

Hope you got a lot of nickels.

We'd tell ya but then have to silence ya :D

The fact that you are an "elite" member gives hope to all of us who thought we'd never have a shot.

No, but seriously though, I'm just playing :p

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. ;)

Should we tell them about the "ban 1 member of your choice" card we get every Christmas?
Nah, that'd just give him 8.5 months of advance warning. ;) :p

One of the elites told me about the forum they have access to... it would be cool if everyone else had 'read only' access to that forum!

I wonder if the Swedish Bikini Modeling Team will be there like last year.

Ah ha! Elite status grants you "unlimited trolling" privileges in P&N. :D

Uh oh. Don't want to get anyone in trouble. How about, "it was Dave McOwen", yeah, that's it ;)

Isn't Anand "The Boss"? I'm guessing it's not likely anyone else will be getting that title any time soon!

I think it's safe to say that I have what is called a 'superior wang'



I think it's safe to say you need a week or two to sober up.
Since we've discussed your wang before, make it two.
