Makes me sad to see this forum almost deserted now. I was basically a kid when i used to come here, just learning to lift weights etc but it was a fun place to come and hang out in the chat & conversation forum and to learn in the training and diet ones. The days where life seemed a bit simpler...

May1010 I'm guessing most won't remember one or even both of those users...shame this forum died but i guess it has been soo long!

I think part of the reason that this board slowed down was that it wasn't maintained anymore. The design hasn't changed in years and I noticed there are errors logging in on a phone etc.. Maybe social media plays a part but the beauty of forums is that you can post anonymously and get advice...

Hey Samoth, Smurfy! ...Good to see some of you still hanging about..

You pay to be a moderator? What for? Years ago if I'd posted this thread it would have been on the second page within an hour. It's not even moved.

It's eery in here...not only are there very few posts anymore..but everyone just post one line 'in joke' replies. It feels like Toy Story where all the old toys have been replaced by the new and just sit in a box not speaking. Wake up everyone!?

It's sh*t. I remember being here in 2000 when I was still a teenager and learning how to lift weights...it was all exciting back then and I loved coming on these forums reading the advice and all the banter on the chat & conversation forum too. EF must have been one of the most popular...

I originally signed up here (with a different username) in around 1999-2000. I remember being on here during the 9/11 attacks. Back then, elite fitness must have been one of the real booming communities on the internet. It was good both for bodybuilding advice and for just having a chat or...

I remember when you could post a new thread on this forum and within an hour it could be on the second page. What happened? Is EF just not popular these days or has social media meant that internet forums in general just don't get the traffic they once did? It says there are 53 people viewing...

fair play...it occurred to me the other day that I've only ever got with women I've known for a while...have never just asked a girl out. Think I need to grow a pair.

Nice story. How did you ask her out?

F*cking hell. Yeah, I can see why you were angry.

I can imagine! What did your husband do to deserve such treatment?

:worried: Pre-planned? Did your husband know you wanted to get with the guy he hired?

cool...I'm good thanks...life has certainly changed a bit since I was a youngster on these forums! And yourself?
