Why is that? Anybody have answers? I have a couple of ideas why...
-
freedom of speach

Someone tipped them off that you would join in years to come?
-
Because of that Shizzo douche and all his shit gimmicks.

I know exactly why.
Shawn Ray got signed up by Muscular Development and is now prohibited to post here. Any attempt to do so could render his contract null and void. We respect his decision and know that he has a family to feed and randomly posting on muscle forums won't earn him a penny, unless he does so under contract.
Lee had other circumstances revolving around a new federation that fell short and some disputes with the IFBB that got out of hand. He is still welcome to post here, but has his reasons. That said, Lee and I still speak via Private Messages and he is still as "unique" as he has ever been.

Serious question: why this?

Serious question: why this?
Exclusivity...
Different outfits like to keep the IFBB pros (both current and former) to themselves as a way to attract both members, but most importantly SPONSORS.
If you're a supplement company and notice that there is a conglomeration of IFBB pros, both former and current, posting within a certain forum, what does that tell you? It tells you that there is also most likely a rather large following of fans aggregating there as well and the more fans (or consumers) present can typically translate into a lot of money, if those fans were to purchase your products by way of advertisements.
So, what happens? MD hires as many former and current pros as it can, which in turn amasses a large following of noobies to the sport that are eager to read what IFBB pros have to say in the hopes of getting "big". The supplement companies notice this and then start to "sponsor" MD by way of advertisements (i.e. ads). These ads placed on their site cost money (i.e. rent). MD garners the fees from these companies who chose to advertise on their forum and in turn generate more revenue to further hire more pros and/or expand.
It makes sense. The major issue is that while under contract, the IFBB pros have to adhere to certain rules and regulations (i.e. restrictions and exclusivity clauses), which limit when and where they can post, among other things.

thanks a lot for the complete answer

Trofeo Due Tori in Bologna is great International BB event.

Pro bodybuilder's don't get smoke blown up their ass around here. Although I have a feeling the OP wants to do a hell of allot more to their ass's than that
-
Serious question: why this?
simple,you can't fight your pimp
-
I have another theory. Every pro that comes on this board gets insulted with almost every post they put up. Soon they start to think this isn't a board for bodybuilding fans it's for a board for guys that hate bodybuilding. Then it's off to other boards where there is some civility.
-
this board was hilarious when the pros were here... you had a ton of losers who didn't even lift trolling guys who proudly showed their pictures...
things sure have changed

isn't there also an element of the protection they get on other boards by the mods
seems most of them have fragile egos which doesn't exactly suit posting here
I reckon bob chick and milos were the two best pros posting on here they seemed to get it
shawn is a whining little narc bitch everyone knows this

you're right, saw it a couple of times many many years ago.
Also saw Momo win his last competition in Salsomaggiore Terme, after a week or so he passed away.
I saw many pros even if I live in Italy but he was by far the most impressive to see in person.

Spot on. I'm working diligently with the mods and the ownership to rid the board of the two biggest offenders. Once anabolichalo and Shizzo are gone we will move onto others.

Shawn and Lee lasted for a while, a lot longer than King Kamali...
One already gave the explanation.
-
Shawn can't post anywhere except for MD forums.

It really was hilarious when guys like Titus, Kamali, and Prince used to post on boards. Pure comedy.
