Unhappy with the new management of chat?

[gonelifting]

I know I`ve joked about this in the past but this time I`m serious. This has gotten out of hand and...

I`ll see what I can do.

 

[Lestat]

let me see if I can explain a little something here..... I was told this once by a wise businessman.

Basically, the Fitness boards to make good old GS a pretty penny, but nothing close to what they make him in advertising, ebooks, consultations, and other wares.

So many people are searching around and find this web site, not for the forums, but for the other things.. steroid secrets... bodybuilding truth.. etc..

They will order up a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff... get it, realize they paid way too much for the same stuff you can get for free nearly anywhere (or at most $5 in a bodybuilding magazine)... and get pissed off.

They come to the forums, to look around, maybe find other opinions, and they see some threads that are talking about anti semitism, gays, people dying of AIDS, shitting everywhere, rape, homos, mastubation, anal sex, you know..all the things the wackos on this board love... well they see that shit, and they immediate call their credit card company and refuse charges for all the overpriced information they've purchased. This costs GS money. The boards are here to drum up business, not shun it away.

Also, do you reall think the sponsors here, like Anabolic Fitness, want to be associated with racism, shit, etc?

 

[HG Pennypacker]

you really think poop threads are in the same class as racism or threats? its poop!! poop hurts noone.

Speak for yourself......many's the poop i've taken that's left me in the fetal position the floor of the bathroom gasping for air.

Also, what about this thread:

http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=295903

I for one think it's perfectly acceptable. However seems like a double standard to allow the kinds of comments on there, and not allow ruminations on scatological prowess.

I was going to say the same thing. We can joke about raping one's mother, but not AIDS?

I just checked the AIDS board, and it seems they are oblivious to our nonsensical ramblings over here, so all is well.

did you ask them how many times a day they poop?

just as a rough guess, I would say it is either way high or way low - but not normal.

If we had an Ebola board, there would be a lot of turnover there in members.

that's a very good point.

what I have taken away from this is that "we are far better off reading newsgroups"

 

[OMGWTFBBQ]

Get raped.

That was the ad campaign that was next up if the "got milk" one failed.

 

[WODIN]

I just made a poopy. It was somewhat less of a poopy than the ones I've made over the past 4 days or this morning.

 

[Lumberg]

you know what?

I wish it was possible to go back and look at snapshots of what the first page of this board looked like at any given time on any given day. Cos to us it seems normal, but maybe the topics and behavior on here have gotten out of hand.

But then again I remember the flame wars and Satanic Goatslayer, AAP's original handle.....nope if anything we are tamer now then we have ever been. And the admins want it EVEN TAMER.
