I understand what you are saying and respectfully disagree.
Frankly I think IF a lot of those threads were moved:
THIS board would be better because it would be more on-topic.
The other boards would improve becuase they would bget MORE posts.
One of the main reason for flames and drama would be GONE from this board (like kids asking prohormone questions, people asking off-topic crap in general) and THIS board woudl be even BETTER because of it.
In my opinion, at any one time, a good 30-40% of the topics on the Anabolic board have no place here, and could be moved or deleted and make the place better.
As for the "we are all Bros" argument, ... look I have a lot of compassion for people and help out people a LOT, but frankly the "we are all bros" argument is kind of a joke. Please, if someone's dog got killed or their mom has cancer, I feel bad for them, but frankly, posting such news on the anabolic board is insane. If people lives are SO void of personal contact, friends, and family that they look to AN INTERNET BODYBUILDING BOARD for personal support at such times, ........ then thats just sad. Really.
I wish everyone here well, but hey, if I have major news in my life or need some sympathy - this is the last place I will be. I have frends and family. I would hope that other guys who use this as a substitutute for such things in their lives would get some perspective.
