I wouldn't personally be happy if you changed to a source board.
I choose this forum as my go to.
Because the member felt honest and honorable.
Instead of trying to sell me or push me towards a certain source.

I think one of the things that hurts the forum. Is when new members ask questions.
And the usual 1st response from veteran members is "Use the search "

Yes research on new members part is always good but so is helping to bring in more members.

What can we do to make this board better for you?
Figure out the answer to question #2. I personally feel that there are only a handful of people that participate on a regular basis. I am guilty of going away for awhile and then returning. Get more people to participate and it would be better.
How can we make this board more appealing to new members?
Not sure. SORRY! The layout and format is great, the sticky's awesome and the admins do a great job. I think that maybe the word steroid scares some people away. I have refereed people here many times and I always tell them " yes the word steroid is in the URL but it is an awesome forum for nutritional info"
What would you change?

This one goes out to the people who don't log in or haven't registered but lurk - what is the reason why you don't log in or register?
N/A
Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate?
Nature of the beast until they are educated and find what works for them. Then they might be comfortable giving there opinion.
What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at?
I didn't know what this even meant so I goggled it to try and find out. ran across this thread. I don't like the idea.

What can we do to make this board better for you? I recently got attacked by two immature jerks who each has about a 1000 posts or so, no staff member took any action publically to reprimand them. I did report them but didn't hear anything. its one thing to disagree with members but its quite another to be rude and insulting. that kind of discouraged me, it felt like no one was moderating these behaviors.

How can we make this board more appealing to new members? get more female members

What would you change? reduce the amount of repetitious banners so you don't look like an add pushing website.

This one goes out to the people who don't log in or haven't registered but lurk - what is the reason why you don't log in or register? don't have an answer!

Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate? I agree with RHOAQ, nature of the beast.

What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at? I wouldn't change a thing, if you open that door I believe it will get abused.

I think that you will find a lot of people coming here because they are looking for a source to buy steroids and when it becomes apparent it doesn't work like that you get the lurkers etc imo.

I wouldn't say a source board would be a good thing where you are openly saying use these etc (if I am wrong please correct) but what I would say is that it might be an idea for members who have a certain post score or verified by admin that they can somehow leave there experiences within a thread (only open to official forum members, so some kind of block to the stalkers/lurkers lol) of what source they have used along with overall feedback. This way members can make there own minds up on whether to use a certain source and your not putting the forum at risk by openly recommending.

The guys who run/support this forum are doing a fantastic job and from spending hours reading through different areas of this forum I have learned so so much, keep it going and well done..

What would you change? The search function is lacking. I am not a programmer, so I do not have an answer, but the scope of the search is too broad when specific terms are used.



Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate? I think that the visitor count is sometimes members that have been auto logged off

What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at? This should never be implemented.

Answers in red,

Who did you report this to?

which thread are we talking about?

[tarmyg]

1. Change the search box to a Google search box. This is very easily done.
2. Add a function for members to use skins on the forum to change the look and feel.
3. Add a function for members to tag each other on posts, i.e. @marcus300 would give you a notification. This would make it much easier to get someone's attention if needed. This is very easily added.
4. What is the relevance of this questions in general Marcus? The Sysadmin had already stated in the another part of the forums that he was not open to change at this time, have that changed?

Just trying to gather a lot of feedback. Not saying any change is in the pipeline we just want to know how the members feels about how we can go forward and what you would like to see around here. I also saw a lot of guests every day reading and watching the board and just wanted to see if they would give some input to why they don't log in and also why don't they register and also your opinions of this matter.

Appreciate your comments

[skaz915]

I still consider myself a newer less experienced member than most on here but the search function is sort of confusing for me. I search something and either no results or the results are irrelevant to my search.

Also this would be very hard to control/ do anything about but I can't stand the newbs who don't do any research and the their first or second post on the forum is something along the lines of " urgent help needed for first cycle. Im 20 6' 175 lbs and running a gram of test deca and tren. Why do i feel like shit. Whats going on?" Now i understand we are here to help but this nonsense needs to stop. If they can't be bothered doing ANY research on their own why should we be expected to help them if they are helping themselves

[Bio-Active]

Is there a way to force a new registered member to at least acknowledge they read the planning and executing my first successful cycle sticky before they can post?

improve the search fuction

How can we make this board more appealing to new members?

Changing the name would be the only real way imo, i cant look at this site at work because of the name.

What would you change?

Get rid of the adverts (the ones that actually tell lies) you know what i mean
Apart from the above, nothing, this board has a great rep and compared to other boards treats people well.

This one goes out to the people who don't log in or haven't registered but lurk - what is the reason why you don't log in or register?

Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate?


What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at?

No source board is good thing. it keeps people from just joining to ask for sources and it would open up the gates for scamers.

Might be to late, but heres my thoughts.

[scotty51312]

Bring back challenges and competitions etc. Possibly get the sponsors to throw in a special discount/gift to the winners.

I personally don't care about the banners. After about 2 months I never noticed them unless i accidentally clicked on one but it could be a detraction for others.
