Matt, I was banned from Ironage too . . . I used to post there with the same name I had on MM and Getbig, and I think I was banned more for my actions on the other 2 sites.

Tim W reads all the boards, and he's turning into an increasingly bitter man.  I suspect he had something to do with it.

Ironage has a bit of a big brother tone; disappointing in that Perrine, who sets the tone re: bans, and recruits like-minded moderators, is a writer (Flex). Many have been banned, doesn't take much if content's not to their liking, thanks to heavy-handed filtering. There are only certain subjects or peeps that can be criticized.

Basically they like a faux-cheery tone; go against that and you'll be "discussed", then banned if the bahavior continues. Lots of the old-timers like the site, consider it "civilized". Others would consider it corny.

Unfortunately some of their mods are on getbig, and since they take it all waaaaay too seriously, they "report back" to Perrine, who's anything but light-hearted. Disappointing, given that a writer should be the last one to insist on the excessive control that is exercised.

ironage no question. mayhem is way more moderated than here, but at least you're allowed to argue and disagree with people.

  That's just terrible :-\ I would likely be banned in one day at Ironage.

yeah i dont post there too often as i found early on that there is to be NO differences of opinion there...they trash modern pros to their hearts content but god help you if you say anything disparaging about any of their idols...there is no doubt that they all live in a like-minded bubble and anyone challenging that will be flamed.

in a message to Jeff Preston yesterday I told him that the ironage rules as they are now will keep membership down a great deal and that is 100% the truth.  They can run the board as they like, but they reap the consequences of that

Nothing new; that's going nowhere. Perrine has a particular/peculiar take on what is allowed, won't suffer divergent opinions. Disappointing, coming from a writer.

Whats Ironic is Shawn puts a stop to Coleman-Bashing when it gets out of hand !! he and Peter McGough are huge fans of Ronnie 2001 ASC , Shawn ranks Ronnie as one of the best Mr Olympia winners , so to say no contradictory statements aren't allowed is nonsense , I said I don't think Shawn Ray is a great bodybuilder on Ironage and it was NOT a statement that went over well but I made my case without going to the extreme , bottom line their house their rules .

You're missing it; only positions supported by ironage are allowed to stand. As someone involved with Flex/Weider, of course he's going to support Coleman!

that's not ironic at all. shawn and peter are huge fans of 2001 asc ronnie so they put a stop to ronnie-bashing.

Which is why you removed your signature line " God is dead " from ironage.  It is their house and if they want it to be an empty one that is their choice.

You and some other ironagers put Frank Zane ahead of Shawn in terms of bodybuilding physiques.   ::)  I have no idea how you can even say that while keeping a straight face lol.

  ND really likes Zane and Dorian, but doesn't like Ray or Coleman. I think he has been mainlining cocaine. :-\

Exactly Shawn asked if I could remove and I said " No problem " and you have to put Zane into context , which you really can't do because you're realtively new to bodybuilding , a LOT of Ironagers feel Shawn is leaps & bounds better than Zane and others don't at the end of the day its an opinion

And I'm not really a fan of Dorian's physique , 92 and below he looked good but once that gut sprang I though he should have lost based just on that , I was a Flex Wheeler fan and was routing for him in 93 .

 Zane went straight from the Olympia podium to an impressive win in the 400m butterfly.

Oh, I see. Do I qualify as a gimmick account?  ??? My name is taken from Batman.

yeah, i know, you're buckeye ass just forgot that i commented on it once.

it feels a lot freer if you don't have your name in your handle, and if you don't let on about where you are or who you know.  but still more natural than the gimmick account.
