I've been around bodybuilding boards approx 6 yrs now. I was a Mod on elitefitness when it was still a great board. I resigned to Mod over here. I've seen these types of upheavals on BB'ing more times than I care to remember. Whatever the outcome of this is we should all sit tight, keep a cool head and just remember that no member is bigger than this board.
BDTR and CYCLEON were huge personalities here, probably two of the biggest and brightest I've come accross on any board, not just BB'ing and I'll always respect them and their decision to launch a new board.
I have a hard decision to make regarding my future on both, or either board, I suspect I'm not the only one. So lets all drop the bullsh*t and nail our colours to the mast. If you want to leave here and join Cyc and BDTR please feel free to do so, their two brilliant guys and no one would blaim you. But don't feel you've to leave here with screeching tyres!.
Everyone is welcome to use both boards, or show your loyalty to one of both. I won't disrepect your decision but I'll disrespect you if you flame or talk BS about IRL here, or AR.com over there.
Cool heads guys.

Its been brought to my attention I left TOJ out of my post. It wasn't intentional. TOJ slipped my mind completely as we didn't chance accross each other on the different forums we both use. IMHO he's irreplaceable, I know through working with him on the Mods board and MSN Messenger that he worked tirelessly for the betterment of AR.com. Its going to take someone very special to replace all three, I wish them and their new venture all the very best. With CYCLEON, TOJ and BDTR at the helm the future looks bright for IFL.
