what are you on about now. It is not case of being 'able to handle it.' jesus fucking christ you can't be that stupid.
ok, let me put it in simpler terms. here goes..this place will benefit if the balance is addressed.
if ron and the mods do their job properly and moderate this forum we will see a return of the pros, the fitness experts, industry insiders, ifbb judges and officials etc etc.
if we continue with the status quo then gb will remain as a bottom feeding message board.
I don't think for a second we should try to emulate md or bb.com.
yes, gb is unique and does allow freedom of speech but it should never be at the cost of sacrificing diversity with the posting fraternity.
My compliments, finally a constructive post from you!
First off,
you have a certain perception about how a successful forum should look like, yes
you.
Most of us don't want a heavy moderated board with attention whoring pros, but that doesn't mean that
everything is allowed. We have pretty good mods here, like Ron, OMR and others, but they're not dictating this place.
Regarding those other categories of people; judges, insiders, experts, etc, we have plenty of them, but you will find most of their posts on other sections than the G&O section.
Just to give you an example that Getbig isn't a playground as a whole, read this thread
