Mass Hysteria #3:
"They all read getbig". LOL they don't. This place is more irrelevant than you keyboard kids think. Maybe back in the days but those are long gone.
This is very true. There's only a handful of threads about bodybuilding at any given time and most of them don't get more than a couple of thousands views at the most, which is hardly "most people in the industry". The only threads that get a lot of views are about the posters here, like Vince G, for example. And lets not forget that most of the posts in bodybuilding threads are just the regulars trolling or joking around, unless it's ND and Hulkster going back and forth about Dorian vs Ronnie or Team Nasser singing the praises of their hero.
There is barely any breaking news about bodybuilding posted here and most of the new bodybuilding-related threads we have is just reproduced content posted originally in MD or elsewhere (like Phil Heath's latest guest posing pics and so on). We don't have a significant number of people from the industry discussing serious issues in-depth or anything like that - just a lot of trolling, racial attacks, anonymous attacks, flaming, negative posts about the industry in general, attention whoring threads by the same bunch of people about their social lives and the same bunch of arguments about the same topics (like Hulkster and his constant defense of Ronnie).
And you're spot on with all of the other points too, Alex. Great post.
