No More Anafit or Macro and Ulter???

It's tiresome to read bullshit accusations that they threatened people and gratuitously deleted threads that should have been left active and open. Please stop.

they did squelch that AIFM or whatever controversy though right?

Was it a controversy or was it disgruntled people making accusations? I'm not sure, but I had no dealings with them in either regard, so I am withholding judgment.

I was taken aback in admiration at their handling of the grotesque foot thread. They encouraged open discussion of the problem and solved it to everyone's satisfaction, resulting in a new and improved substrate along with some common-sense guidelines for use of any transdermal.

Thereafter, all I saw against AIFM were threads tending towards libel, which I presumed were from rivals or idiots with axes to grind, which any passing mod would reasonably delete as a matter of course.

"Elite Fitness and Anabolic Fitness will part ways as of the end of this month. It is purely a business decision. Their vision differed from ours as to where the site needed to go, so we felt the partnership was no longer of mutual benefit... We wish them the best"

well, there ya go...

Whats most disturbing to me is that the EF leaders are only concerned about the business end.

How is that disturbing? Elite Fitness is a business. The EF leaders do this for a job.

Yes let the ef leaders do their job.

Hopefully in a trustworthy, fair, honest, and respectful manner with each of us and others yet to come.

Maybe everyone needs a refresher on business ethics.

It's not a question of whether anyone here understands business ethics or practices. It's more a matter of perception of what EF is.

EF is a valuable resource and font of information for our hobby. Being on the Internet and driven by member contributions and discussion, there's an expectation, by many, of EF being here solely for the benefit of the members. This isn't surprising when one considers how much a part of the free time of many members EF tends to become. It is easy to forget that, unlike some flagging boards that are run as hobbies, EF is run as a money-making venture. EF is a business and, while we are all here to learn, teach, entertain and be entertained, EF's primary function is to turn a profit.

We can remember in fond absence many ex-members who lost sight of that balance between the functions and purpose of EF.

agree. Nothing wrong with making money of course. Just have to be sure not to alienate your customers ; or to decieve them in any way or to be associated with any one who might lie or make false statements about their products or market a product in a shady manner.
