hey !!!!!

Just a quick thought maybe some of the feamles could put their pics up so we could get an idea of what kind of shape they are in..

BullDogg20

hey bulldog we arnt really doing that sort of thing very few of you guys post pics of yourselves cause even though you may look great we are all conscious of our physiques! us ladies are the same if not more so hope you appriciate this nice to hear from you though ;)

maybe if we are coming up for comps we will get your opinions what do you think? You know sort of like constructive critisism LOL

The only pix i will post are ones that i would want constructive feedback on regarding what i need to work on etc.
I may be wrong but I don't think any of us wants this to turn into something like "pictures of women" on EF.

I haven't thought of this, but do you want a private area to post your pictures? If you do, please let me know. I would rather add all the boards you want now before our female section gets bigger. It will be a big job for me later on if I wait. I can always take off boards you don't want in the future, but please tell me if you think you may want a certain board in the near future.
Thanks,

Personally, i would post my pix for anyone to comment on but I bet more women would post theirs if they knew only other women would see them. Just my .02

So are you saying you want a place you female members can post them privately for other female members? Any public posts of females can be posted in the pictures area of the anabolics board. I need feedback from everyone about this new addition and any other board you would like please. For now I am assuming I need to make a new board for pics for females in the females only section.
Thanks,

Yes- a place female members can post pictures privately for other female members sounds like a good idea to me

Ill second that jason - what I read read on a lot of other boards would support that idea - that way if the women wanted to get teh mens opinion they could post on the main board, while those a bit more shy could post in here.

Jason - you might want to make it clear to female members taht this is the only board in this forum that the men can see so that they dont wonder why bulldog is in here

Ms Figure - Now you get an idea what i was pointing to last night ;)

i know guys really aren't supposed to post here, but i've gotta add my two cents. over at the elite board, the pictures of women forum has turned into a porn site. i DO NOT want that to happen here! if guys want to see porn, they can pm me and i'll give them some links. if it's possible i'd like to keep this forum clean from dirty pictures. we're all big boys and girls and we all know the difference between pictures of physiques and unnecessary pictures. hopefully we can have a forum were the ladies post thier pictures were all can see. if and when that happens though, i'd like it to be like the member pictures section. if you don't have anything good to say then don't say it. if anybody doesn't understand what i'm talking about then go to the elite board and check the pictures of women section. the women who do want constructive criticism are getting afraid to post thier pics becuase they get torn apart but guys looking for something to wack off to. hopefully the mods here agree with me, ms figure obviuosly included. posting pictures is part of this site, and i'd hate to have a few scumbags ruin it for everyone else. sorry bout the rant, but i don't want this board to go the same route as some of others

in regards to a private forum-- how do we keep people from having two screenames? some may sign on as women. we can't bar IP addresses, since some households have both male and female members.

well dane this forum will have anything the women want to but i think you were in reference to the AR board as a whole, in which I couldnt agree more as to leaving out the detractions of EF, while keeping the good.

i just don't want a porn forum! not on this board

Ok, it (picture board) will be up probably tomorrow, and it will ONLY BE VIEWABLE BY FEMALES.
Dane, the process of selecting female members to add isn't perfect. But everyone has to go through me before they can be added to the female forum. If I catch any guy pretending to be a female in order to gain access to the female board, I will ban their male and female accounts. We will know because they will only do it so they can act stupid. I have no problem banning them though.
And this isn't a porn site. If the ladies want to post pictures of themselves for everyone to see (in the Anabolics -> Members Pictures Forum), that's great. But we have great members, so I'm not too worried about that right now.

nuff said jas'. i trust you 100% thanks for dealin'. i can be a pain sometimes.

No man, that was a good question, I was just a couple steps ahead of you ;)

ok FIRST of all i didnt mean any disrepect when i mentioned about woman posting their pictures, now that i think of what i said it might have sounded like i just wanted a cheep thrill, when that wasnt the point at all in the opinion i gave.
i just merely ment that if they felt comfortable posting their pics so that they could get feed back from members of AR.

so i appoligize to all the ladies that felt uncomfortable with my approach at that question.

Hey Ptby - I am confused - I thought the whole female forum would be private to females and mods - whats up? What areas ARE private to females?

Guys can only post in this area, this is here so the new females can get noticed by Jason have access to the main female board......I think I'm right here?

Anyway I got on my SOAPBOX yesterday, so I don't need to repeat that!

But I agree whole heartly with Dane, Primo and MF. This site isn't EF and I for one would hate it if it went that way. The females here train hard and will no doubt not post pics of themselves just for the pleasure of the guys, and rightly so.

BullDog you did the right thing my making yourself clear.

Lets leave it up to the ladies.

Cycleon, I think this was good for us as we all seem to be in agreement here
;)

BA

By the sound of it if I am correct the Ladies can post in any of our sections ? So if they did want to post their pic they could and we could offer advice anyway?

As for the porn Hmmmm wrong board I would,nt want to see a bloke in the buff everytime I logged on so why would they?

This is a respectable site and we need to uphold the integrity of it as so many of the guys have done it has survived without those pics for a while so why would we need them know?

Anyway off my high horse now and a big welcome to all the ladies who have joined AR:)

Billy

Hey guys,

I want the site to grow and be successful, so the ladies have to feel comfortable and respected.

I think most of the guys know we're not here for "entertainment" valus.

BA, BB, Dane thanks for feelin' that way its good to know you respect our desire to improve and train, our goals are the same as you to be the best we can be!

The site is great and I really feel proud to be here!!

:)

Love

I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. I too strongly agree that the integrity of this board should be upheld and I have all the faith in the world that the mods will do just that. I'm very proud to say that Bert always felt comfortable at AR even before the female forum was added. I cannot say the same for some other boards out there (this is not meant to trash other boards). I'm also a member at "Anabolex" but rarely visit anymore. There are a lot of knowledgable guys but it seems that only one of every 20-30 threads relates to gear and only one of every 40-50 threads relates to fitness or diet. But there is NO shortage of porn or discussions about sexual escapades etc....don't need that. I'm happy that our female members have a place to call their own. If they want to interact with us that freedom is there as well.

Pete

yeah pete, i hear u bro - i like bolex as well and im full of "zest and test" but its gotten so im afraid to even open some of those threads so im not scarred for life!! :( thats almost 1/3 of the topics now :( :(

As a new female member I'm glad to hear the guys on this board sound like mature people who are willing to respect what the ladies here would like to do. I've heard of other boards where that's not the case, so thanks to you all.

im with billy on that one if you want the porngo back to elite this is not the board for that im sure i am not the only one to think this but we all respect the women on this board adn dont want them to descrace themselves

Amen to everything primo said:)
