I've seen several other boards at there like the AR but none of them are even in the same ballpark as this one. I've been invited to a lot of other boards, and a lot of them have a nice layout... but what I dont understand is, the other boards all have basically the same members, so you're pretty much getting the same advice. So why float around?
Well, some boards are similar to AR, but AR has a pretty weak competitive BBing and PLing sections, so if i needed info on those 2, then i go to different boards. I'd say most of the stuff here is fairly avg in terms of training, diet, cycles, etc, so if I want to see what the big hardcore guys are doing, then I'll read up on animal's board.
True. IMO: this board is geared more towards helping the newbie juicer out or just moderate lifters in general. If you are hard core, Im sure other boards would provide more helpful info.
Depends on what category you fall into I guess.
Its all about that VIP

im a member on a few diff ones, they all offer something diff that keeps me loggin onto them...
Bro, that's not even funny as a joke. :rolleyes:Quote:

I don't want my location to house idiots and useless info, my board has a direct focus and business reason for it's operation. On my board, u f*ck up and start sh*t, you're gone. No babysitting and 2nd chances, I leave that to the other locations.

Mass, as per my p.m. my comment was not a slam on YOUR board. I was unaware (due to you not having a viewable auto-signature) that you OWNED your own board, and that you were getting one up/running.
If ever you would like assistance, help, whatever, (not that you need it), I am here to help ya out bro. I can see why you now chose to "fire back" with your ALL CAPS offering, but it was not directed at you. Sorry you feel that it was, and I don't know if it's because your board is not doing very well or what the case is, but it was not directed at you.
As for my board, its doing very well as I said, no worries there whatsoever! ;)
I understand the anger in your comeback, but there is no validity to that comeback, as my board does what it's supposed to. It supports me and my career/business.
Trust me, in about 2 months or less, you'll see EXACTLY what I mean, and from my site/look/etc., you'll be able to tell that "~SC~ sure wasn't lying when he said he's doing well!!!!!!". My new site will be a direct reflection of just how well my board is doing w/it's intended purpose.
;)
Pimp on!
~SC~
Dam you're a bitch....You apoligized before I got a chance too ;)
My bad bro.. Like I said in my PM ....Just a miscommunication
I love you Bro :)
and if you want to spoon later on.....just let me know and I'll send Leanmeout your way :)
Awww, Grouphug Guys!!!!!
I have to second that! Its the ****! :lift:Quote:

I agree berm...this is a newbie board.I hang on other boards for more intellectual disscusion.Plus,some of the smaller boards that have 2000 or so members aren't nearly as strict with all thier rules.You can actually say a curse word on other boards wothout being sensored like a 12 yr old kid.Oh yeah,you can have sigs also,as long as they aren't tacky billboards like you see around.Quote:

Be confident in what you do.
Do it big.
Ignore ignorance and those who posses ignorant qualities.
Be real, be yourself, and don't fake anything. You will have people who do not like you or your qualities/possessions, however they usually feel that way because they themselves don't have anything tangible to speak of.
On the flip-side, and by far most important, you will have about 8 times as many supporters and people willing to help you, guide you, assist you, support you, etc., and having those resources is your key to success. Your product/service may be sterling and very valuable in nature, however without the actual "people" to make it so, it will never become.
Persistence is key.

Yeah, I do of course. Everything is a process, and you must go through a process.Quote:

That is a general guideline for any board and/or service that "competes" with other similar ones, not a knock on any 1 board directly in any way/shape/form.
~SC~
So what are some other good boards to visit? Everytime I ask this queston I just have somebody send me to a board that they are a MOD at, I'm not disrespecting the MODs, I just feel like they are trying to advertise.
Bro, ive known you for a while now and we're friends but man, why are you still here? You constantly passivly aggresive attack this board and say how much it sucks, but you have more posts than ANYONE.

i have two homes....and most of you know which ones they are....
this one because of the constant action and the other because theres alot less bs from newbies....
both are awsome boards....
Good observation. I suppose I'm the one being passively referred to as the "tacky billboard signature". :rolleyes: Dunno, if not, then great, if so, so what. :unsure: :) I can't tell w/DB any longer, his tone has changed. No offense to you at all DB, just don't know what's up that's all. :scratch:Quote:
