I have chosen to be on this site and no other gear/training site for a number of months because it has been so good. Its always been a great place for info and Bros to chat with. I have made some good contacts and even better friends from this site but its going downhill fast. I am slowly getting bored with the consistant repeating topics, child-like games and ignorant posts that seem to never end. Its as though you have renamed the site "Elite Fitness for Dummies". Now I am not in anyway downing all the newbies!! Some of you guys are good additions to our family and others are becoming a pain in our asses. Can you please address the idea of resticted areas for long time members. (# of posts) Allow everyone to read the info but only the higher level people to post. This will at least require them to stick around and learn some before they just ask dumb questions. Have a section for newbies and someone to teach them the fine art of searching your site before they just post! This won't stop all the problems with the kids and gay-assed source posters but it will help to keep this site a step ahead of all the others that I refuse to frequent anymore! Thank you IP: Logged |

these sites cost alot of dough to keep up and im sure george , being a businessman and all , is not in the game of losing money , he does however have an invite site that hell be opening up soon. i just find its easier to ignore what you dont like or dont care about - than letting it get at you. there is still alot of wonderful info around here , you just gotta weed it out. and besides , the number of posts means nothing...one day theron put up over 130 in less than an hour. just be patient , the mods are doing thier jobs.

The general tone of your post is ok, but you have some inherent problems there. First you base "experience" on the number of posts...bad idea. Second you want to disallow "newbies" to post until they are "experienced". But if they are not allowed to post, how will they ever become"experienced" so they can post..they never will under that regimen. I agree that some newbies are a problem because they don't research first and scammers suck too, but that's the nature of bulletin boards, get over it. You also mention you are tired of seing repetitive topics on the board. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I believe this very topic is repetetive. Like I said, the premise behind your post is good, but your methods are contradictory. Perhaps you should search this topic and see others solutions, I'm sure you'd find a good one, like maybe a "whitepaper" for newbies to read and a "links" page to have them begin their research. Prohibiting posting defeats the purpose of the board... IP: Logged |

The reason there's so many repetitive threads is because tens of newbies come here each day. I know it can get boring, but this is still the best board around. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I only have 300 some odd posts but I've been here before the boards kept up w/posts and there were no "Pro bodybuilder" monikers. I love this board, go NO where else for trusted info, and have the greastest respect for George and all the mods. You can't please all the people all the time. And if you feel the need to go elsewhere, I'm sure we will all find some way to cope. THIS BOARD RULES--PERIOD ------------------ IP: Logged |

bizump!!!Doesn't take long to figure out this is the most active, real-deal site around. Why do you think so many new people come here. If it sucked, there would just be a handful of original members here. The scammers will come and go, the newbies will research and become experienced or fade away under the severe ridicule. Take the little bit of crap with the enormous benefit. Big bump George IP: Logged |

This is no way intended to be a flame to anyone. I am new here. Watched for a while. Got alot of good info and have trust in alot of bros' here to head me in the right direction. Although there are alot of pranksters out there playing games, justignore them. As for the repetative threads and bumps', maybe we need someone to watch for the repeats and delete them. But, as for the bumping, sometimes I had to bump my own q's because of no replies. That was at first. They weren't dumb q's. I searchd the boards, and found not the answer I needed. So, I had to ask. when 80 people post and my q goes to page 2 with only one reply, I had to bump it. I am not, nor will ever go on one mans opinion. I will get a few different ones and form my own opinion. What if the guy who gave you the opinion is a moron and ell you to shoot in you vein so it gets to your system faster.(I've seen that one already). For those who don't know better, they would which equals bad news. I don't agree with dumb q's. i jus do not think that repetition is bad. The only stupid question is a unasked question. ( Someone said this.) So, if you see a post that is not rediculous, and it gets asked again, either give your infinate wisdom, or don't open the post. As for the assholes playing games, get a junior mod only able to delete the morons when they get on it. Thanks for hearing me out bros'. ------------------ "Pain is weakness leaving the body>>>" IP: Logged |

I would pay money to be on a site with people that were intelligent and schooled in the use of drugs for athletic enhancement....annual fee of $20 a year....just a thought! IP: Logged |

I agree with ryry and Thepitbull, This shit is boring. The same old complaints, the same old bullshit. Let's give the mods and Geo a chance to reconcile the masses in spite of a few Bad men.

You're right PitBull it is maddeningly redundant so I will be too. Anyone who thinks the number of post here determines ones intelligence you are sadly mistaken. I need only point to one man (I have said this everytime I see a post like this) his handle is FUKKENSHREDDED. Put in his name and go do a search of this site and read his posts, he has been here maybe a week or 2. He is one of the smartest people to ever post here or anywhere. We are all damn lucky to have him here. It would be a real shame if his additions to the banter here were cut out by some crazy rule about how many times you can type bump. IP: Logged |
