if Ron is not weak heart-ted he will take it positively instead of banning me for telling truth ..this forum like truth right ?
reasons are below,
(1) unfunny frequent posters like Superfag1900 , Fatfrenzy and armyofone starting and maintaining topics that are not interesting and making very poor quality multiple posts.
(2) forum is full of gay jokes and gay threads plus racist hateful threads , not a bright place to stay at all.
(3) people with most post count are the biggest weirdos here actually ( including kwon ) with exception of few ( tapeworm , mr anabolic etc )
(4) banning and disappearance of good posters while posters like shizzo was allowed to make this forum quality go low.
(5) not letting new posters come in ...if you try to register it will take 3-4 month to get approve and you might not even get email notifying the registration completion
etc.
You are expecting this forum to be like it was from 2005-2012 or so, thats never going to happen again.It was a period of history before most people had a smartphone, when bodybuilding was more popular, when there were characters competing, talking shit etc. social media platforms were all in early stages, with few users due to most no having a smartphone.Forums were the most popular way to talk online, mostly populated by more tech savvy desktop users.
The influx of users on here from 2004-2012 all got older, got married, had kids etc,and feel stupid making "hahah I bet you are the type of guy" , "gayer than" , "outed" posts, most drifted away to facebook, instagram and the like for their social fix. The pros all jumped ship once facebook, instagram and twitter blew up, places where they could get their ass kissed, make money, and not feel like crap everyday getting trolled.
Whats left is a hardcore group who largely find todays bodybuilding dull as dishwater, but all share similar political views and sense of humor.I dont think I could name more than 4 current pros, I could have listed most of the olympia lineup 16 years ago
Making gossip and opinions strictly bodybuilding related would be the death of the forum, bodybuilding just isnt popular or strong enough to maintain a forum on that subject alone, which is why most of the hardcore boards are dead. Pros all are too image conscious and social media savvy today to risk saying or doing anything controversial, which doesnt make for good viewing. Add in people like the hodge twins who have physiques joe public aspire to, while being interesting at the same time, along with hundreds of others like them on yt.Its just more interesting than bodybuilding to anyone but the hardcore, which isnt enough to sustain this forum
I agree Ron needs to sort out the registration, I never understood the 4 month thing, at most leave it 10 days after registration before people can post to limit ultra trolls registering and immediately spamming.
I make alot of threads to keep the forum moving, on interesting things I know from experience the board will like.I was banned in 2017 and noticed the board came to a grinding halt in fresh content and posts, so if you have a better suggestion with your 5 posts of hard work contributing, Im all ears.
