I was ordered to report here for duty. (*wink* @ Rip!)
So, what are the rules? Am guys required to maintain decorum at all times?
-
hahaha that's the spirit! :D
Rules are pretty loose, maintaining decorum isn't neccesary all the time...no derogatory statements or personal assaults, but varying opinions about FBB are fine. I don't like to delete much unless I have to in order to keep threads on track or get rid of mean-spirited comments.
Laura Lee and Meddie have good threads going right now. I'll do a contest prep when the time comes.
For YOU, one of the rules should be to post some pics...maybe start a Tre's favorite pics thread? Pimp your site too. 8)
The guys on this board love pics of hot FBBs.
And we could ALWAYS use some of your sage advice when it comes to training and getting into shape. I saw from the recent Amazing Race video that you are quite the fitness guru. ;D

Tell us some seedy stories about MD Sioux. I hear they treated you like a little bitch. Although I must ask you, why was it important that you could ban people anyway?

I actually could never ban anyone. Time Out is what you mean I believe. Being a moderator of a female bodybuilding forum it is important to have Time Out powers. Why because so many people like to attack, and belittle female bodybuilders. Most people will no longer attack and belittle female bodybuilders if they know rules will be enforced. Everyone knew I took moderating serious and would put an offender in Time Out if he chose to ignore a warning, so few people ever harassed the women in their forums.
I rather have people respect one another, and not have to put anyone in Time Out.
Anyways it was far more then him taking that power away from me.
-
Yeah, it was alot more than just that. It's the principle of it. It was a slap in the face to sioux, who put alot of effort into that forum. It's like saying "we don't give a shit about what you did to help us build our forum." >:(
And it was pretty pathetic how they tried to make it seem like it was a promotion, when in fact what they were doing was demodding sioux and getting him off the moderator board...IMO, they didn't want sioux to have access to the moderator board because they didn't trust him...I think they thought he was my "inside source" at MD, oh brother. ::)
I felt the same way when they attacked my character, told me that I am nothing but a troll, melted down and moved my thread to the Pit...after my husband and I provided contest coverage, pics, and information for the women's board and brought many of the New England NPC officials and competitors to their board (alot of whom left with us).
Anyway...whatever.... ::)

After what they did to Special Ed and the way that they lied about the TA-DA fight, Sioux really should have known better than to trust them. I did notice that a few other people didn't give a fuck about being promoted/demoted. So I was wondering why Sioux was so upset about it.

Well I won't argue with you about that...I think I must have warned sioux 20 times that they would eventually shit on him too. ;D

Who's their next victim?

Some actually did care, but apparently not enough to confront Adam. None of the others put the time into the board I did, and none (except maybe one, not sure) ever used the power before it was taken away from them.
And remember I was demoted twice, not once. Both times with no warning.

Have you ever considered that they took the power away from you because some anonymous poster shouldn't be able to put people in timeout in the first place? Do you have any dirt on MD that you want to share or are you going to kiss their asses and go back, like Billy Guns did?
-
LOL @ danielson always looking for the dirt. ;D
I think Billy Guns is gone too. I just talked to him today!

At MD, they have a moderator board that only mods have access to, where they talk about everyone else. I heard from one of my inside sources (not sioux!) that there were some really nice things said about me on that board. ;D
So it's a bigger deal to be a mod at MD. Plus, as you know, they take their jobs VERY seriously over there. ::)

Can you talk to Ron about getting a mod lounge here? He is not listening to me. If there were a mod lounge I would tell you all the story I heard about Sioux the other day, it's pretty funny. ;D

Do you think if Ron demodded you that you would try to get some posters from here to follow you to another board? Would you whine about it on your blog and make it sound like it was the end of the world? Also, if you were given the ability to put people in timeout, would you do it? Sioux seems like a bit of a weirdo to me.

LOL cut it out! Sioux looks out for the women, and there's nothing wrong with that. You ever wonder why there aren't a lot of women who post on this board? Most women don't take well to being called derogatory names. Shit, some women don't like me simply for the fact that I DO post here!
I don't have to worry about timeout and stuff like that here because (a) there are not that many women here and (b) the ones who post here know what's up with this place and have a pretty good sense of humor. I've never been a big deleter and I don't support banning except for the really necessary ones, so NO, I wouldn't want the ability to put anyone in timeout or anything like that. I am totally fine leaving that up to ron. Ron, however, is very responsive, communicative, and helpful...not like people who run some other boards.
Sioux did a good job as a mod at MD...he did exactly what they wanted him to do. As for trying to get posters to go with him to another board, I FULLY supported that and tried to help him with that as much as I could!!

I think he overreacted. Not to mention he came over here and praised MD all the time while bashing this place and now look how MD treated him ;D I could go on, and I probably will at a later date ;), but I am not in the mood right now. Hey, have you ever seen Siouxs pic? Is he handsome?

Why do you think that is Rip? Sounds weird. I do find it real strange also that more women dont post here? I really cant understand it, there are more women BB out there than that.
Is it because if they post up a pic or something 20 jerk offs will chime in with silly insults? Its a shame it has to be that way around here. Too bad cause it could be a great forum.

Alot of people have a mis-conception about GB...they don't give it enough of a chance to get past the shit. Most look at the board once or twice (or just go by what other people say) and conclude that it's nothing but trolls. I was labelled a troll, trouble maker, and shit stirrer simply because I post on this board. Just the other day, someone in the industry told me in no uncertain terms that he will NOT support any woman who willingly associates themselves with this board. ::)
I think what it is is that most female competitors who post on message boards do so for two primary reasons: (1) to network/chat with/meet other female competitors and (2) to promote something. I guess they don't see GB as a good place for either one of those. Alot of them take everything that is said about them on the board to heart, and they just can't stand the name-calling, flaming, or teasing.
GB can be intimidating for women...I am pretty good at handling the shit cuz I don't take things too seriously and I have a pretty decent sense of humor...but it took me a long time and A LOT of convincing by a few people to get my ripitupbaby account going and start posting here. (I've had an anonymous account here since 2005, but I never posted under it.)
Bottom line is that people take their messageboarding WAAAAAAAY too seriously...everyone needs to lighten up and have a little fun!
There's alot of quality on this board...the FBB Board is one that is full of quality. ;D
And I can say for sure that I would not be where I am today with my bench pressing if it wasn't for the help and support of the guys on the powerlifting board.

Yeah I guess there whole internet thing has not caught on with a lot of BBs I mean the NPC board for our state maybe has 100 posts the whole time its been up. I know Block was trying to drum up some enthusiasm for it and don't think it has really taken off much, just a few people on there.
GB has developed into a troll board and thats probally why they stay away, who needs all that negativity?
Yeah I think it should be fun but lots of people on the site have a different idea of what fun is. Some of the people are funny but there is a difference between being funny and being cruel. Your right you cant take things too serious especially from strangers you have never met, sometimes people need to be able to laugh at themselves. But I'm sure most say why bother.
I would not really enjoy a site that was always serious like do 10 reps, eat 4 oz chicken or so and so won this how or meet blah, blah, blah. It needs to be about more than that and thats probally why GB has done so well.

I'm working on getting some more girls over here...it's just gonna take some time. I wish Sarah Dunlap and Cindy Phillips would post here...they could liven things up a bit.
This board's coming along though...we got some quality threads and good contributors. It's come a looooooooooooong way just in the last several months. :)
-
My understanding is that the activity here was pretty significant as recently as last summer (they are always big throughout, I am talking about the member area). Then things got particularly nasty in the fall and a lot of people were chased away, at the same time MD was ramping up largely due to siouxcountry's efforts and creating a friendly environment for athletes - and they were able to fill the void. Now Getbig is in rebuilding mode and you are a great choice for the job.
