I dunno I have never followed the other forums.

The BB site openly talks about steroid use and the weightloss forum discuss things like how to live off under 100 Kcals a day, 'instead of mashed potato, try papier mache' that kind of thing (maybe slightly exaggerated).

Can you imagine the chaos if those two groups started discussing diets :rofl:

But I think you're right about standardising them to some extent, like having a single login for all sites and make switching between them easier with bigger links between the three

BINGO. I think I mentioned this earlier around page 2, but maybe not. I sometimes think I do a lot of things that I never did....(gets me in trouble with the wife)

I thought it was strange when I went to look at the weight loss forums and had to create a new account.

x2. One login name would be fine and keep the forums separate. I'm up for that.

To fix that problem with the advanced part not being necessary for noobs (as Karky said) maybe there could be an "advanced nutrition/training" section? Might suck to be adding another topic, but if you take away some, idk? Just a thought.
 
I would have expected AllCdnBoy to at least have acknowledged my efforts at answering his questions. I did try to make up for the general horsing around in this thread and it sucks not having anyone other than typhon acknowledge it.

Nah, i acknowledged your comments! I'm sure ACB is waiting till more comments come together then he will come to some sort of conclusion.

don't feel bad my suggestion went largely ignored as well.

Hey, that makes it sound like my acknowledgement isn't worth much :(

Don't worry about ACB, I don't think he's even looked at the thread yet
 
My sections all get marked as read randomly and it's really annoying. I never know what stuff I have looked at. Anyone else having this issue?

There's something that needs to be corrected :)

This forum will never be anything more than Chillen's alter to himself while he is here. He has and will continue to destroy everything this forum could be and turn it into a mockery and an ego-boost. If you are a person who thinks chillen is kind and selfless, you have been fooled. He is here for nothing more than to make himself feel good. Period. He is the number one reason I am not here, and will continue not to be here. I can not watch him barf over every. single. thread.

I think we're soul mates :mrright:

I'm not one for having personal vendettas on the forum but have you considered the ignore list? If you are having a problem with one member just put them in the ignore list and the problem should disappear. (I know I speak from experience). :p

The good of the forum i.e. motivating oneself, picking up bits and pieces, helping some noobs, getting a few of your own questions answered far outweighs any problem with any one individual. I suck at cardio, running etc and always look at the guys doing lots of stuff and get motivated to do something myself.

She chose to ignore the whole forum, that's the problem, like many other great posters we had. Instead of getting someone who posts with substance replying to threads we get a 'feel your inner fire and ROCK ON' and then about 500 lines of copy and pasted **** that has no relevance to anything.

Why would smart people like Derwyddon want to hang around when newbs choose to listen to the guy with the easy answers that rams them down your throat?

Ever wondered why newbs seem to love Chillen? That's because they're the only people that listen to him, and those that listen to him don't hang around to become established posters because they've gone to another site where someone literate has responded to them with something helpful, someone like Derwyddon.
That's why Chillen has very little support around here anymore, once you stick around and scrape below the surface you realise there's nothing there, his support is hollow and meaningless and he never seems to posts anything of any actual value (and by value I don't mean the fortune cookie wisdom he posts in his log to 'inspire' either, as that's also just another hollow meaningless gesture)

I don't know why we lost rep power, it's good to know you made a good post for someone, and helped someone etc...

Stupid idea IMO.
 
It had become a bit of a beast, I'd like to see it replaced but the old system got the point where some of us had about 100 times the repping power of some other regulars and that isn't right
 
I think we should have the rep, without the rep power if you get me.

So you can still pos n neg rep people but there is no rep bar.

The problem with the rep here was that it was a repfest - a kind of rep incest instead of genuinely rewarding good posts and possibly penalising spammers and rude people. If the rep is viewable then it would be clear who is committing incest. :)

Rep is just a toy on many of these boards (all with the same software) but the modalities are different. Perhaps it can be brought back in a sensible manner?
