Great news!!!
As some of you know, I took drastic measures in censoring my board in June as a result of someone I know being sued for posting copyright material on YouTube. Check out thread #14583 on
Bodybuilding Pro.com for more details.
That someone was my dad:
http://www.rfcexpress.com/lawsuit.asp?ID=58416http://www.expertulpc.com/tech/this-dmca-notice-got-runover-by-a-reindeer-18017775The great news is, everything is 99% settled now! I have still not gone over the terms of the case but as far as I know Dr. Elmo has 30 days to prove that my dad profited off the video as well as some other stipulations in order for my dad to have to pay. Since my dad did not profit, it seems like it is impossible for anything more to come of this. I do think my dad was being a little stubborn to pursue the matter. I think he should have paid a token sum just to resolve it.
This is the reason why I have not been posting much on here since that time. This is also the reason why I did not post the Wiggs interview. I wanted to make sure I got permission from Bodybuilding.com to post it as well as go through some other details. I really don't have the energy to deal with another lawsuit as this one was very trying on my mother. Now that everything is resolved, I will be posting the Wiggs interview soon, if BB.com clears it.

This brings me up to the last point which is why I censored my board for the past seven months. I did not want to deal with yet another lawsuit on my site because at the time I had more than one person threaten to take legal action over some of the posts on my board. They were actually great posts but I simply didn't have the resources to deal with it at the time. I guess I can now understand why pretty much every big board enacts some sort of censorship policy, even censoring good posts at times.
Now that I have two small children, things have changed. I need to channel my resources and energy towards them and not board problems. Lawsuits are truly not worth it. Even if you win, you lose.
PS - Even though my board gets bashed a lot it gets a lot of traffic and to give me an incentive to get the Joomla template and forum skin up faster,
FROM NOW UNTIL I GET MY SITE UPDATED ALL ADVERTISING WILL BE 100% FREE. If anyone reading this is interested in a banner ad or some other ad, please let me know and I will put it up! The site will look much better once the Joomla template and new skin is up.

But for now anyone wishing to advertise can help themselves to a free ad or two.
