Let the flaming begin
Thats right Gentlemen....I'm back.
Here is a VERY sound analogy. Elite Fitness is to discussion boards what GNC is to healthfoods/supplements.
Are they the biggest? Yes. Are they the best? Hell no.
They are both the ready made newbie hangouts, for people that are too lazy to do any research. They are both overpriced and turn their heads to what the hobby/sport is really about. They are both PC, and "too cool for school".
Elite Fitness is talked about, not because other boards are "jealous", but because this board is totally "vanilla", pristine, and generic.
Go to the other boards, and the most they will do is ask for donations or make their money through sponsorships, just to keep them afloat. They dont have bullshit pop-up ads that say spend $8.95 for this information/access, that is normally valued at $240. Give me a fucking break. Save that shit for the 3am infomercials. That is what this site is.
Yes, other sites, will have you PM the moderators for source checks or info. Isnt that what most people are looking for? No talk of sources on this board? Then what is the advantage? NOTHING!
Folks, spend some time and find a board that suits your needs. Chances are, this wont be the one.
Mods, I totally respect what you do and the time you put in. My hats off to you. But seriously, this is the most commercial, waste of a server I have ever seen.
I welcome any chance to carry on an adult discourse relevant to this subject. Go ahead and flame away, but guess what. Everything I bring to the table is FACT.
