I agree it sucks what happened. There are some heartless people out there and will trample anyone to get ahead.
I have been a member for several yrs and have seen some peeps come and go. The one thing that does bother me is all the advertising. It started out simple enough and I know there are bills to be paid but it has continued to the point that it is nearly as bad as the magazines. I mean it seems like every week there are new, incredible products being released to this forum. I think they should be in the supplements section but what do I know right. I will say the fact that the flaming has been nipped and there arent back and forth threads for pages at a time just bashing has improved the site. I also find useful info all the time and it has helped me tremendously. I have been around and the site has changed but you can always find bros on here willing to help and that have useful info. The EF board is still the best out there.
