Remember that money is only one small part of the whole that makes up an internet-based [discussion board] business. It's the people, the personalities, the content, the material, the discussions, the information, the knowledge, the potential, the sharing and brotherhood that make an internet discussion board -- or break it. Money is only part of the equation here... would a small number of paying (or, I suppose now,
high-paying) members support and maintain a discussion board and it's potential future success? They come to a board, pay for the services, and then what? They may quite possibly find themselves among a homogeneous group of coevals who would likely get bored of the repetitive doldrums of their mundane clique. Then what? They stop paying, and go elsewhere. Why? For the
people, the personalities, the content, the material, the discussions, the information, the knowledge, the potential, the sharing and brotherhood that make an internet discussion board what it is.
In case anyone was wondering, the entire heretofore babble was an attempt to justify Elite Fitness having a Science Forum.
Elite: What's "elite"? What makes this place elite? Or, rather, what makes this place more elite than that other board over there? Or that other one there? What makes this place truly Elite?
Fitness: Fitness is diet. Fitness is training. Fitness is health. Fitness is, well, here at least, ergogenic supplementation. Every one of these are individual subsets of science -- they only exist because science figured out
what diet is;
what training is;
what health is;
what ergogenics are.
Want to make this place live up to it's name? Push it a little bit towards the cutting edge of science. Most bodybuilding/health/anabolic discussion boards don't have any area of focus on the science behind what we do, what we're here for. Why would a person want to take methandrostenolone instead of dehydroepiandrosterone? No,
WHY? Not because Random_Username_Buffman told them to in some post...
WHY? The inaccurate hearsay I read on this board often scares me, as it is often nothing more than a regurgitation of what someone read on some other message board post.
With the proliferation of the internet and discussion boards in the present day and age, I feel that it is imperative that Elite Fitness keeps up with what is truly important in order to ensure survival -- nay, domination -- throughout the coming years. And no offense, but I don't think selling karma will keep this boad on the top during the upcoming years. We need to make Elite Fitness what it is meant to be:
The very best fitness, training, and ergogenic discussion board on the internet!
Yours in science,
