Why is this place in a constant state of EF nostalgia?

[evansteve]

also ppl need to stop praising females here good lord u aint ever gonna meet her or let alone hook up with her
also most are guys

just ask ef member code

But maybe theres a chance that one of us will live the dream, like Hamstershaver did.

If we could only get Nathan to come back, all would be as it was once again. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing; only that things would be as they were once again. Sans pants, of course.

I say EF has gone downhill cause a) we have lost way too many valuable, knowledgeable people in the training forum over the last year or so, b) EF has become a C&C place, not a training place and c) 90% of C&C is either pathetic political threads or fucking pathetic highschool-level flirting between lonely dudes and self-conscious chicks (or maybe vice versa).

Maybe I am expecting too much, hell it's the fucking Internet. But there's gotta be more than this.

you fuckin nailed that one with a 500lb sledgehammer right on the head man. i stopped going to the training board completely. why? i posted threads in there a few times asking questions and couldn't get an answer and the entire first page of training was PRs.

Boards, like everything else, just goes in cycles. Wait a sec.

Don't know abou that. How much is there to say about training? Really? How much can a person say that hasn't been said 100 times before? Or, about diet? Hi Carb. Low Carb.

C&C is the only variable group because the people's POV can change over time and affect their postings. Current events also cause new postings in C&C and new POVs to clash.

I disagree completely about the training part. There is a TON to say. Granted, you have the repeat posts about how to deadlift and ab routines, but there is so much out there to learn, which is why this game stays interesting to me. Shit, just explaining all the different routines out there takes a lot.

And yes C&C is fun and all, but there are patterns that are just uninteresting yet are repeated over and over and over all day.

i still go there, but as you know i run my own place so i can't be everywhere.
crak- i told you were to look for serious help, no chatter. try it.
but this place has gone downhill. i've been afraid of being a contributor of that and its making me consider not posting so much- using it for pm's and thats it.
i'd rather read about a relationship or problem rather than some childish stuff.

I've come back to the Training board after a long absence. I agree, there's still some very bright people there and I've already learned some new things just in the past couple weeks, things I'll be applying right away.

My only gripe is that it's become a little "powerlifting-centric" for my taste. In many cases, bodybuilding questions are answered from powerlifting standpoints far too often. Goals are assumed, and not clarified as before.

As for chat, I'm probably biased. But I don't think the subject matter is as interesting or as funny as it used to be. There used to be a good balance of politics, gear, entertainment, and the normal stupid shit. Now it seems like the meaningless tripe has become the rule instead of the exception.

There used to be a bunch of threads on C&C page 1 that I'd want to read. Now I'm lucky if there are two or three a day. That either means I'm just kinda over it, or the threads just aren't as interesting. Maybe a little of both.

God help me though...every time I try to get out, I end up coming back. That's gotta mean something.

word. I;m definitely not knocking the dudes in the training forum though, cause we have some great people over there that are very helpful - I still have a ton to learn. but we have lost a few big time people (don't need to say their names). but hey, such is life. This place is still funny as hell.
