[Andalite]

Hi everyone!

I check in quite often but I haven't posted in forever...how many of the old crowd are still around? I remember:

So, who's still here posting?

Everybody left, this place is not what it used to be

Dude! It's great to see you! How are you doing, man? And why did everyone leave? What happened to this place?

It's sh*t. I remember being here in 2000 when I was still a teenager and learning how to lift weights...it was all exciting back then and I loved coming on these forums reading the advice and all the banter on the chat & conversation forum too. EF must have been one of the most popular forums on the internet but just seems to have died a death. I guess social media didn't help but I never thought it would have become this quiet..

I remember when platinum memberships came along and when people cared how much karma they had because they could send karma bombs. haha..good times.

I remember being here and on the the FitnessBoard.com back in 2000 and 2001, I learned so much from those bros. Times have changed though.

this forum is a little quiet but maybe i can liven it up with some stuff

10 years.... People moved on I suppose. And certainly the overwhelming product pushing drove away a lot of people. Became more about selling than sharing knowledge and being a community.

 

[jtmdell]

Yeah I have to agree, the constant product pushing by a certain few got out of hand. It's gotten much better here over the past few months though

Yeah that. People who had no clue about training, nutrition, aas etc being made moderators because they could sell products, everyone pimping needtogetaas' stuff etc

Lots of pettiness and negativity started to come about in the weight training section of the boards too imo

Not anymore, there are some good mods here now. I haven't seen much promoting as of late. It seems to be mostly cleaned up.
