steroidology.com What the?

[Citruscide]

So... musclezine is now... steroidology... a site for no bullshit, and only talk about bodybuilding and steroids... Great concept... sounds a heck of alot like Cuttingedgemuscle.com -- a site where there is no bullshit and is dedicated to bodybuilding and the proper usage of steroids...

What I find amusing is, that Steroidology is EXACTLY The same as musclezine... I mean, all the same posts were just brought over to the new board??? That is like a club in Chicago called Custom changing it's name to Breathe ... yet leaving the interior all the same, with the hopes of attracting a "new crowd". I guess when you use a name that is registered to someone else... and then they want it back... you don't have an alternative.... I guess that is why you go into business with someone who isn't a greedy sack of shit.??

I dunno... I was excited about the new change, until i found out it was just a name change... and nothing substantially changed... same mods, same members... yatta yatta yatta....

That's right Almighty... you keep on being you and I'll keep on being me... and nothing will ever get accomplished.

Steroidology?? I mean... what the? I'm trying to be "constructive" here... it doesn't sound like a site that is dedicated to anything other than STEROIDS... Yet it claims to be involved with fitness, etc. I was just curious about the choosing of the name... I have GREAT respect for Tx, Bouncer, NS and others... I think they can contribute no matter where they are... but I have to really say the name... well.. .that name blows!

Between CEM and EF -- I get enough.

Dude, you're smelling yourself.

Sure, not all the posts were brought over, and not all the mods may be MODS again... but the fact of the matter is one of your forums has over 1700 posts... which means that many of the posts were brought over from Musclezine...

So, in effect...

You are not the only one who has brought that up about the name...but you have to admit that ANYTHING is better than "musclezine."

Yeah... musclezine is pretty bad.... I suppose Steroidology isn't HORRIBLE... it just gives me the impression that the entire board is about "Steroids" -- and lets not kid ourselves... many people come to these boards for that reason alone... to educate themselves... but many don't...

Just an observation on my part...

True that. And by the way, I hope you know the "ignorance" remark was my way of being facetious.

Your constructive criticism is by all means welcome.

The site needed to get away from Amaf and have a stable ownership situation. So I left and brought with me 85% of the staff that helped me build Musclezine to what it was and what it was starting to become in such a short time. My stance was why mess with a good thing? IMO MZ was not given enough time to evolve. We were only running under the new admininstration for 3 months tops. Steroidology allows those of us who built MZ, a chance to continue to evolve a site in a sense.

I also dont recall ever saying the site was strictly about steroids. For those properly involved with steroids, it would be common sense imo to connect a site named steroidology to fitness since without physical fitness, training, and dieting, using any knowledge learned with respect to steroids would be virtually useless.

And Almighty was correct. There was no transfer of posts done by myself or my webmaster. Maybe you are talking about some of my mods copy and pasting some of their threads from the 'Anabolic Articles' forum and posting them on Steroidology but there is definitely not 1700 posts there so I'm not sure which forum you are talking about.

But again, thanks for the criticism. We are always trying to improve.

More feedback is always welcome, feel free to email me.

Steroidology is the only SERIOUS board about the bodybuilding/fitness lifestyle. You wont see Carao testimonials and "strongmen" begging for "donations" over there. EliteFitness and Triedia are what I call "clown" boards. Just my honest opinion, no flames please.

 

[OMEGA]

its an awsome board IMHO

Finaject... you are an assclown

Biggieswolls... With all the drama that is going on off the boards and some on the boards... do you think the name of your board is best named "Steroidology"? I'm trying to be serious here.

I don't want to get into any specifics, but boards of this nature have been accused as a harbor for people to find and purchase steroid dealers. With a name like "steroidology" don't you think it could be a beacon to the feds to put you under a heavy scrutiny? I personally fear for the welfare of Elitefitness... if you must know the truth... I have ever since the deal with Perrin went down... I know many of the bros that post on your board, and I know them to be top of the line... but a name says alot... I think, in all earnest that you should really consider changing your name to something more BROAD... no matter your intention or purpose of the board or not... it could bring with it an unwanted attention.

It is a good board....I enjoy browsing there...in truth (Im a paranoid mofo) I hesitate to register there because of potential fed scrutiny....but hell after perrin they probably focus here alot too....

Thanks again for the feedback.

I will say that when coming up with the name, since nothing illegal goes on and will go on at any site I run, I did not hesitate to be blunt with the name.

Of course an idea for down the road is to offer some great supplements at amazingly low prices for the people of our community and the name now imo would help to increase viewership which in turn could possibly increase sales. Although, this idea about the supps is so ripe right now and would take much more time and energy bringing it to fruitation. We are thinking about this idea coming together maybe a year from now.

But I guess the bottom line is that I kinda knew the name would generate some waves. I guess you could also say that it was done on purpose(for viewership reasons) but it was done knowing that the site is strictly for educational purposes and that all rules with respect to illegal activity, such as the sale of anabolic steroids, are strictly enforced.

I also looked at the success of some other sites with similar names or themes for a name and didnt get detered through looking at the success of most of them. Anabolex is somewhat blunt and they are a very popular site. Hell, steroids.com generates enough revenue to be able to publish whole page adds in "Muscular Development" so they aren't doing too bad.

But I do understand your gripe about the name, your reasoning makes sense, but from my standpoint since I just want to see an educational site grow and grow, the making of the name was done with no-fear.
