The ever changing regulars on forums...

[T-Rage]

I am a member of two other non bodybuilding forums that I was on all the time around 6 months to a year ago. I go back every now and then to see if I recognize any of the member names of friends I had made. The sad thing is it seems my old buddies who were all over those forums when I was are no longer there and a whole new group of regulars are now running the boards.

It's kind of like not watching MadTV for a year or two and turning it on to find that your favorite cast members are missing.

I have been on this forum for probably 6 months now and love it. And of course I've been posting like crazy as has Lee, Spatts, BFold, Debaser, casualbb, CoolColJ and many others.

I wonder if in 6 months from now we will have moved on or a new group of regulars will have taken over. It's kind of fun to watch who comes and goes and who sticks around and goes the distance.

When I get on my computer and go through the forums it kind of like hanging out with friends. These forums provide a very convenient way to be social.

And finally I believe the forums such as this one are the best things to come out of the internet.

T-Rage, I have been around almost 2 years, and I'm not going anywhere. There's a "batch" of regulars common to each board (Women's, Training, etc...) that have been around a long time, and new people come and go, many stay. We do have a solid core group, though.

Personally, I think the training board is the best board on Elite and on the Net. There are so many backgrounds here, so many different academic degrees, sports represented; it seems like everyone has something unique to offer, and does so without hesitation. We have everyone from "Abercrombie Model" physiques, to Elite powerliters, to Pro Strongmen and Women, Pro figure/fitness, Pro BB, even a national speed skating champion. Who knows, we may have an NFL star on our hands real soon.

We have people with PhD's in molecular genetics, chiros, PTs, OTs, nurses, doctors, researchers, physiology professors that teach at med schools.

This board is FULL of top notch contributors. I can't imagine the learning experience I'd miss out on by not being here.

i've been here for almost a year, and it's funny because I've noticed the same thing....


I'd have to say I miss Mr. X's posts the most

Mr. X is stil around and still a mod, generally posts on diet, and has his own board now. He's not gone.

I would be curious as to the total number of members on elite if anyone knows.

I would be curious as to the total number of members on elite if anyone knows.

I think it lists that on the main page. (The number of registered users.)

I guess i'm a regular here and people leave quite often and it's upsetting to see, but there are new faces quite often which is what makes this board so fun, along with the other regulars.

I tell everybody about this board. "If your really serious go to Elitefitness.com" I don`t know if they do, but at least they heard it from me first, So when they eventually DO find it and see its GREATNESS, they`ll say "you were right" lol

btw my wife`s an OT. It`s just good to see someone mentioning OT because I think they get little respect. Everybody knows what the PT is.
