I read the Elite Fitness News this morning, dated today:
http://www.elitefitness.com/articledata/efn/011204.html
I'd like to bring everyone's attention to the section on moderators. It kind of makes you go "Hum". With all due respect to AAP and Daisy_Girl, a more motley collection of de-modded, banned and generally absent members is hard to imagine.
Next, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our newest Discussion Board Moderators! Just click on their names to see their posts on Elite.
The New Anabolic Discussion Board Mods:
genarr3
RADAR
The New Training Board Mods:
WalkingBeast
casualbb
big4life
The New Chat and Conversation Board Mods:
AAP
big4life
Raina
RADAR
Daisy_girl (including the Women's board)
Tuc Biscuit (including Between the Sheets Board and Gambling & Casino Forum)
ZKaudio (including Style, Fashion and Grooming)
Please help me welcome our new mods here. And although there is no hurry, we are interested in finding more mods...

Is this some kind of joke that only admins and mods understand? I can only think Spellwin has lost interest in EF and he's trying his best to drive us away. There are some good people on this board, but they stay despite its administration, not because of it. It's time to move on.

It seems that mass exoduses from boards result from people getting fed up with admin. and spawning a new board. I like elite, I met a lot of cool people on here and there is a good solid core of non-specialized trainees, meaning it isn't STRICTLY strongman or powerlifting or bodybuilding or throwing, there are a lot of people training because they love it and looking to improve just 'because'.
There are a lot of people who find it because of the selling points, all nonsense like sex, scandelous pics, steroid books, get big quick 'secrets' and supplements, these are people who would normally get sucked into the endless web of 'trying the latest (insert program/supplement/drug) ' when all they have are modest, attainable goals. There are a lot of good people who can set a lot of people straight on this site with good info. and by de-mything an activity (weightlifting) with more voo-doo bullshit surrounding it than any other thing I can think of.
I think that the difference between what the board truly is (a solid place where people can exchange info. and experiences and help newcomers get past the 'bodybuilding' voo doo bullshit) and what Admin. wants the board to be (a place to pile in traffic all day every day and make money on bogus supps and overpriced e-books) have caused a big rift. I think if the solid core group left, you'd still have TONS of traffic because naive 16 year old guys will still google "steeroidzz, tit$$, and peczz" and find this site, but only none of us
would be here to steer them clear of snake oils and $60 'e-books'.
I personally like a fast moving board......the more serious boards are cool too (and I like posting on a couple of them too), you have to use your real name so it eliminates internet tough guys non-stop trolling and all, but the drawback is that they move S L O W.....and if you have a day job with lots of down time (like me for the next few months) you like the movement and action. The downside to this is that there is a percentage of posters on quick, busy, 'commercial boards' who DON'T know much about training theory, so you'll have a dozen or so posts every couple hours like "How can you build teh BIGGEST pec$$....dumbell or barbell incline????"......usually somebody will have the patience to set them straight or direct them to the sticky (a good move to weed out trolls and kids who had a brain fart while hitting on chicks on myspace and decided to ask for advice they will never follow and instead spend their allowance money on xtreme pumpz 2 or some such thing)......either way it is entertaining as long as 90% of the time people respond respectfully and with the intent to help.
Just some random thoughts on the board I guess.....and what typically happens when boards designed to be commercial, generate traffic, and NOT become 'too informative' actually get a few handfuls of quality posters who are here to share and learn and contribute.......my stance is stay and continue do what I do and enjoy, due to career paths so to speak, I won't be able to post much after the Fall this year, so if I could steer just 1 newbie away from No-Xplode and towards productive, progressive strength training, then I will feel fulfilled. Afterall, that lost kid that you talk to about training theory and progressive overload and calories in vs calories out and compound lifts, may very well be the World's Strongest Man some day all because you provided him with info. he would have NEVER obtained otherwise......or some middle aged guy who just suffered a heart attack may find a lifelong hobby to practice and stay healthy for the rest of his life because he was shown how to properly train and given a way to distinguish what really matters and what is a money-making BS scheme.

Oh, and of course great post, T.
I've been thinking the same thing about how the training board is pretty much antithetical to much of the rest of the site and to the ways people make money in the BBing industry as a whole. I feel the same way about board "speed" too. Even if there are a lot of dumb threads out there, some of them spark really interesting discussions and prompt guys like you and madcow to share or explain things that you wouldn't otherwise.
