Bodybuilding.com's forums suck ass

[bigliftsCNU]

I get no response to any question scientifically related whatsoever. It's all about layman's terms. If a question goes even the slightest bit scientific, forget it. Most people over here would jump on the questions I posted, however, the only response to the one question I posted, which took me 20 minutes to type out , recieved such a simple answer.."eat some protein before am cardio" or something similarly dimwitted. Patheticccccc

i would have to agree... they do suck when it comes to information in most sections. It's like it has become a hangout or something like that. I used to answer questions all day long in the teen section about a year ago.... I was a moderator( thank god im not anymore)... i still help people outside the forums through email or AIM... but for the most part... i wont dare go in the teen section anymore because of the bullcrap.

and on top of that.. the moderators use and abuse their powers over there.. there are a couple on nice guys on that board that i really enjoy talking to .... im even going to go out to utah this summer to work for my friend dave who i met on the bb.com forums. but... it seems that the moderators on that board use their powers to settle personal problems they have with members. they suck at answering emails, PM's, etc... its almost a "i more mightier than you," attitude. who wants to be on a site like that??

the information does suck though.when i was a mod... there was actually an idea of having a test about bb that someone would have to pass before they could be a member... it was shot down.

so im looking around for other sites right now.. this one looks good... im ready to actually deal with people posses knowledge and can help me grow and i can help them grow. thats how we get better.

oh yes.... and you better believe that on bb.com right now they have a link to this exact thread.... and they are whining about it right now..... I even said "shows how great they are" in reference to the platnium membership on this site.... but then i look around..this site is good....lots of smart people... and we can all help eachother grow

A board can only be as good as its members.

that is true... and that is the problem over there.. most of them are bunch of assclowns that dont know a polypeptide from pepsin.. "duh.. they both start with P!" most of the older members know what they are talking about... but most of the teens have no freaking idea what they are talking about... there are alot of smart teens though.

let me rephrase what you just said

" a board can only be as good as its members and moderators."

Tell me more about what they are doing right over there.

1. Site is free

2. No Advertising

3. No PM's asking you to go Platinum

4. Useful sticky threads unlike this "Announcement: February Bikini Babes: Cum and get um!"

5. No popups trying to sell me something I don't want

6. Faster server it doesn't take 5 mins to post

7. Did I mention they don't try and sell you stuff.

I'm comin here as a representative of bb.com.

The teen boards SUCK ASS. Period. 99% of posts there are either from kids who are too goddamn lazy to do a search or are posting bullshit lifts.

The steroid boards are awesome. Those guys are knowledgable and are cool as hell. Same with the powerlifting boards. I only stick around there because I'm sorta used to it, and once in a while something worth discussing pops up.

I've answered/seen questions related to creatine in juice, what steroids are best, and how to build xxx muscle so many times I could scream. I've also seen enough threads about Ronnie Coleman to fill up a damn novel (I'm actually a Ronnie fan from 99-2000, but it's just that there's TOO many stupid-ass questions about him).

I'm also sick of kids who think anything Arnie says is the final word. "Arnie used to do that!" as if he was the most knowledgable man in bodybuilding ever.

There's a small portion of us floating around on those boards that aren't complete idiots, and lately we don't contribute as much as we did. I've seen SO many 15-16 year olds claiming world-record lifts it's not even funny.

Wooo, and I'm done ranting.

They probably don't have over a million searchable pages of knowledgeable info on anabolics, training and diet. I wager to say you can't have your own hosted website there. I'm also willing to say that you can't store pictures on their site either.
