Because, he, personally, did not like the thread. Apparently, the other mods will allow another mod to unilaterally axe a thread solely based on personal preference. Like it or not, this is not what made GetBig unique. It was the free speech. That's why the G/O is still the place to be and if the mods continue to allow this this Steroid board will go back to being the obscure nothing place that it use to be.
I understand that sometimes editing and censoring posters are necessary but to delete a thread that was still going strong and had such a huge participation rate is a travesty. When gh15 gets his site going you can be sure none of this kind of balonie is going to go on.
Actually, all three mods talked about the thread.
As for the steroid board section of getbig, it had far more traffic before the GH15 era...double at least. That's not opinion, that's plain statistical fact. And the steroid section has never been one that allowed people to say anything they want...it can't be, not if it is going to continually exist...no steroid board can have that and make it. Ron knows that, he's not an idiot, and that's why he's always allowed the steroid board to exist outside of the rest of the board. For example, he'll let us ban members from the roid section if needed....I think it was back around 2006 I had to ban a good 100+ guys from this section, and that was back when we had really good traffic on this board and it didn't hurt the traffic at all.
As for steroid related threads posted on the G&O, I guess most are not aware of this but this is the way it is. Threads about hormones that are posted on the G&O are often posted there in hopes that they won't come under any true scrutiny. However, for a time we've allowed that to happen, but we don't have to...we can easily move those here to the steroid section of the board if need or desire arises...including GH15 threads. For years, that's exactly what happened and in an effort to allow people to do whatever they want we let it go for a time, but it hasn't played out well and probably won't continue.
