I was a lurker for a long time, then I started to ask questions and eventually I get to know members and became part of the community. FOR ALL YOU LURKERS OUT THEIR, GET ACTIVE AND HAVE FUN!
- Adult section
- Banshee pic's

No I'm not saying everyone should go around insulting these great people, you can make fun about them, alsong you just make sure it's not in a disrespectfull way.
- I check out the training and nutrition section out everyday to, but it's 90% the same BS questions every week. Without Hdogg and a few other members I probably shouldn't spend any time there at all. I try to give info to those basic questions nevertheless, since when I got here, I didn't know anything about it either. I really find joy in helping people out, but most of the time I find them to stubborn and when you get into discussion with people, all they care about is winning it, they don't want to learn anything new, just don't admit they're wrong. People who don't know their stuff should STFU and read/learn ask question, don't make claims. If I say something I know I'm right or I point out that I don't know it for sure adn explain my thoughts about it. I'm open for learning, and I think that the past year my knowledge sky rocketed as result. So this is not really something the mods can change, but I just hope people drop their ego and learn and contribute. (though we need a monthly jackass to call MORON) Last thing, when I post an article or studie, you get those 'good post' replies. Sorry for everyone who did, but I have the feeling some of those people didn't even read the thing, because a week later they give BS advice to others.

- As suggested before, I think there should be a sub forum in the training and nutrition sections for high class articles and studies. I've seen this on an other site, and I absolutly love it. it's like the same thing, without stupid questions about how we like their splits. Yes, of course people can ask that, but I don't like my mofo good info post on page 2 the day after I posted because people want to ask what creatine they should takeand what foods are good protein sources...

- A diffrent monthly contest would be cool. Not necessary with money prices, but just for fun.
- More battle of the vids would be cool

Extra:
Awsome is exactly the right word for VIP, CWUT's thread alone makes it that. For everyone who doesn't know what that means, the guy has a thread in which you can ask him anything about nutrition and there's alot of good info going there, info for which personal trainers whould cahrge you. And if that's not enough...Banshee pic's.

Overall, the site is freaking awsome. You guys can be very proud of it.

That's all for now, if I can think of something else I'll let you know!

1. I always feel welcome here and the community as a whole is amazing. I've been to a couple other boards and in comparison this one is much more "friendly". This one seems to have just the right amount of attitude without people flaming others to a disrespectful extent. The mods being involved with the community is a nice touch as well because despite their title, they treat other members as equals for the most part. It's nice to see them participate this much as opposed to just patrolling the board.

Questions that are asked, no matter how trivial they may be, are answered in a respectful fashion by members and everyone here seems more than willing to help those who are willing to ask for it. The frequent posters here also are very welcoming to new guys and as we've all gotten to know each other, it's just a fun board to come to and the fun little things like Team Big Pimpin', Team Butler, etc, add a nice little amount fun edge to the board.

2. As Jorn said, getting rid of the 15-second delay would be nice in the post whore thread; could you imagine how many pages we could clear in a day with that kind of power?!

3. The main discussion board as I feel that for the most part I get a lot of news of what's going on in the sport there and it's a good place to have longer discussions/debates. A lot of posts here go onto several pages and it seems like the first place most members check out so you have a variety of posters in this one area.

After that I'd say the Show Discussion Boards because one of the reasons I came here was that it has as good of contest coverage as any other board but most people around here are much more open with their opinions on IFBB athletes, contest decisions, and judges. As a whole, people are a lot more analytical here and are willing to offer input onto why people were placed where.

Obviously I spend a lot of time in the Misc. section because there you get to better know your fellow board members, their personalities, sense of humor, etc...

4. As you've addressed already, you're working on a lot of more priveledges for VIP members and that's really the only thing I can think to improve upon now. It'd be nice to have a few more perks but you said big things were coming for us so I know I'm willing to be patient. It just seems as a whole, that section could get more action and posting.

5. A VIP only contest would be nice but I was a huge fan of the first contest and would like to see more of those. To be honest, I cared much more about winning a VIP membership than the 50 dollars because it opened up a lot of oppurtunities for me on this board and made me motivated to post more often and help others out. I think the same can be said about the other winners of the contest; it's a nice feeling to win that prize and you want to do as much as you can to uphold the title.

What keeps you coming back?

the updates, the people, everything, it's just the general "feel" this forum has that others just cant even think about having.

The things you like and dislike about this forum?

the organization, and the quick updates we get are major bonus, about the things i dislike, well, hmm, i dont really know... until now i didnt have any complaints so

Things you think could be better?

well, i think maybe the combat sports sub forum could be a little better, like separate the wwe videos and the ufc/pride ones and maybe make sub video forum for it, i dunnu its kinda messy that everything is in the same place.. at least for me.

Which forum sections do you view the most?

thats easy, main discussion no doubt, and the current contest (aka san fran, or as of now the aussy pro etc..)

Which forum sections could be improved?

stated above...

would you like to see more contests/promotions?

well, i dont really care, but i think the "reps" system or things like that, that BB.com had or still have i dont really know, sucks. i dont think that those system work... and i totally love the way the things go around as of now.


all in all this forum is the best iv'e seen in all my BB time... so go BBD 4 eva.

What keeps you coming back?
the people the addictiveness its a place thats great becuase we're all here for the same reason (most of us) we can hang out and talk bodybuilding and unless u train in a gym with alot of like minded people - which i dont - then this is a gret place to do just that talk about your sport and muck around and have fun and occasionally watch porn

- The things you like and dislike about this forum? nothing that stand out off top of my head. maybe just lurkers just get in there and join in! more u post more new people comming in and more posting means more growth! and one day bbd will be so big that it iwill be the home page on every computer in the world!

- Things you think could be better?
not sure

- Which forum sections do you view the most? aussie invasion thread - main board - training - misc - combat sports - training logs

- Which forum sections could be improved? vip - while its very good , its just not much new stuff like new threads or things
- would you like to see more contests/promotions? sure they cant hurt!

[Diesel]

I have one idea I would liek to see. I think it would be cool to have a section to talk about local shows and where smaller shows will be held. Sometimes it's hard to find out when/where a small show is for you to enter unless you know the right people.

[Pain]

thanks for the replies.. keep em coming. This can only mean better things for the forum.

thanks.

[mindstar]

What keeps you coming back? The atmosphere here seems nicer than the other board I visit, and there seems to be more general posts on BBing and the pors, which I like. It is active, and often members provide thoughtful responses.

The things you like and dislike about this forum? I generally like the info, the training log option, the general, flame free tenor of most discussions. I generally dislike all the gay jokes and the like.

Things you think could be better? Sticky Recipe Thread! And maybe uploads of music playlists instead of so much porn :)


Which forum sections do you view the most? Main Discussion, Nutrition, Training, Steroids. I used to hit up the bbing video section a lot too, but did it disapear?

Which forum sections could be improved? Maybe, as someone said before, having a refereed article section for training and nutrition...

would you like to see more contests/promotions? Only if I win!


This is a great site, with an international flavour that I like. Members are generally respectful and understanding and can pass over differences towards the common goal of health, fitness, and getting freakishly huge. Thanks Pain for the hard work.
