Why is it that all the good informative posts always fall to the back pages?

Because everyone and their mother keeps doing stupid meaningless polls. It may have seemed like a good idea to add polls to the page at the time, but I think most are useless to an anabolic discussion board.

Its a combination of a few things:
1) Repetitive posts (eg. Deca vs. EQ, IP, ect)
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: use the search function
2) Picture Posts: these, though of little value to most of us, seem to draw the most comments/arguments/rebuttals/ect.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: create a section for pics only
3) Posts meant for just 1 person
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: use PM or eMail for this
4) Duplicate Posts
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: none, this is just stupidity on display, or computer glitches, both of which we will never be without
5) Irrelevant or Off-topic Posts
POSSIBLE SOLUTION: respect the forum and the rules
I think it is an important function of vets to regulate breaches of the rules and blatant disrepect of the forum. The ones that seem to always object when it is suggested to use the search function, or post their BS elsewhere, seem to be the guys with either very few posts, or with little positive or informative input into this forum. Keep regulating and demanding more from the users of this forum if you don't want it to be another crappy anabolic forum like Musclemag or some soft "anabolic slash whatever" chat board. Keep it hard and real in here, please, this is too good a resource for serious BBs and gear users.

I think a picture forum would be a great idea. It would clean the board up greatly.

That's always been my biggest complaint, everytime
someone (myself included) gets a new idea and post
something of real value to us, it lasts about 30 minutes
before it disappears off the first page. Meanwhile,
"Ouch, my ass hurts", gets 30 replies. The other bad
thing is that when you do a search for some of
the "classic" posts they are nowhere to be found. I
did a search for some info that Macro wrote on 17-A's
and it was nowhere to be found; I can't even find
the stuff I wrote on the topic. I guess it's really
just a matter off interest, but I at least think if someone
takes the time to look through chemistry journals and
biology books then we should at least see what they
have to say (or better yet, bump it to the top; so those
who have the background can explain the post in
clear language). Don't get me wrong, the board still is
the best, but we can always improve it.

I think that's also a problem. Some of these people are on here to learn, but when they make a comment that isn't quite up to par with the knowledge of someone else, they seem to get flamed pretty bad for it. Many times I read posts where two people seem to be arguing about a particular idea, when in fact both are really right from their own perspective. This board should be used more to share our thoughts and ideas with each other, instead of trying to be witty and impressing each other. All that does is alienate our fellow athletes. Our strength lies in numbers, and we need as many of us as we can get.
Although sometimes there are posts where you just can't help, but to crack a joke about it.
Peace,

the turn-over rate has gotten really high here.........lots of new faces 
I think alot of us feel like its a waste of time to contribute.......only to have the post on page two the next day.........
of course...i dont speak for everyone and i still stop by here ever so often.........where else can one speak to luvs2juice, flame guys with 1000+ posts who are of the opinion that differences in esters is correlated with specific bodyparts and all the while learning that i can take winny orally and---let us not forget clambutterolli.......
btw.......you still have one of those cd's of yours--ill email ya...............

I'm new here, but I have been reading for over a year and just started posting. Many people seem to get alot of posts on the board very quickly, with not much substance. That is exactly why I have never bothered to register. Some people need to listen and learn before they speak. Just my .02 cents for what it's worth
Unity is exactly right. Generally, though, I read EF for the humor and drama, and go to "that other " board for serious discussion. An interesting topic there will stay on the front page for a week.
