so...besides class you're pretty free?? :beer2:


School started for me as well. I have a pretty busy and tough schedule so Ill try to get on and help out, instead of so much joking :) However I have also been busy with website building and such.

Keep the forum rockin!
 
So, now that i make a thread about it, people start posting again. Some people i've never heard of even replied. So far, everyone that's come up with an excuse, i consider a regular member anyway. I mean, doesn't this place have like 20 000+ members? When i said "where is everyone?" it was more of a rhetorical question. Obviously, you can't account for the members that no longer post here

61,522 are spending their time in the gym while the other 1237 are on the computer.:D
Probably most of the active members are new members just checking this site out.
 
I'm just having a bit of a break from the place, had enough of the BS posts and 'Brad Pitt' wannabe's so need recharging time before returning properly.

I just come on for 5 minutes in the morning before work to see if Chillen has posted those leg pics he promised about a month ago and when I see he hasn't I get back to work

Likewise, I dont want to step on any toes but people probably come on here and see such threads as the B.S thread and decide its not the forum for them. Theres not enough about actual weight lifting on here.

I ONLY TAKE SO MANY HOWS MY ROUTINE THREADS!

:animal3::animal2
 
I've been busy doing things. The political thread just sucked me back in though. I agree, there aren't as many interesting threads as there used to be.

I'm not active and haven't been for months because I originally came on this forum to learn about fitness. A lot of conversation now just doesn't include fitness. Plus the post spam is slightly annoying (note the number of people with multi-thousand posts of 3 or 4 words).
 
yeah, we need to get more fitness talk over here.
What I notice, though, is that not a lot of people seem willing to discuss more complex issues than the basics, eat a lot, do compounds, that's it. Which is gread newbie advice, but I, for one, would love to discuss some more sciency stuff, even if it doesn't have the biggest application. Why are no one interested in exactly how a muscle contracts, etc? that's interesting stuff :p

I am afraid i will have to disagree there Woodt. You are saying that you didn't find good threads? You didn't find people willing to answer your questions? You didn't find enough stickies to cover your whole bedroom with information about fitness?

And you are telling me that the people that have multi-thousand posts, (mind you these are the most dedicated people of all to this forum, you can't have thousands of posts over a couple of months) should not be aloud to have posts of 3 or 4 words? They shouldn't say "well done keep it up" for example to someone who had a positive step closer to his/her goals? After all this is also a socialising forum, that deals with people, emotions and well-being. People that come here find one of the healthiest and most informative forums for fitness amongst other things. Sorry there mate but i think you are making a mistake.
 
I gotta agree with Woodt.. But I guess I already said that.
I think the high number posting can get a bit out of hand sometimes, when people obviously spam just to get a high post count.

And I think the amount of fitness related discussion have gone down.. and then I don't count all the newbies who come here looking for help, since that is usually pretty constant (which I love, always good to help someone)

I tried to phrase my point carefully without making it sound like an attack on all the high posters. They keep the forum going obviously. Karky, Chillen etc etc. There are just some guys with higher post counts with a non existant contribution:bull**** ratio. This didn't used to be the case until late last year.

On the upside people do seem to be friendlier. Don't get me wrong. It's just people quite often just want to go on a forum for information, not so much small talk. My opinion of course :)
 
yeah well your mom's always sucked
