    i see your point about it being a pain in the ass to moderate the political/religion forum, but as far as adding all those other forums, they are already included in the lounge. if you post a political/religion thread in the lounge it is usually locked or deleted right away

    OMG you guys are hilarious LOL.............not really

    The political forum was here for as long as I remember and it was removed....these stupid things you are suggesting just for the sake of it.....were not.

    By your "logic" let's remove the computer discussion, the lounge and the news as well since they are not related to steroids.......

    funny people......but Im not laughing with you this time....

    The Political forum caused a problem for who? Just gotta say mods...your attitudes are condescending and not helpful. It is truly interesting to see how a persons interaction changes when they percieve they have aquired some form of power over others or attained a position above some others. Some of you that have responded to this post were sarcastic and immature...not something I saw before you attained your lofty postion here. Some of you were polite, reasoned, and not at all hateful or petty...I can see that has changed. There seems to be an "us and them" attitude.

    It'll be interesting to watch things unfold...'cause speaking as only 1 member, for many...it ain't so good now and that is truly unfortunate because this site has a membership that is as varied as there are snowflakes.

    Also just a hint...I really don't think it is a good idea to continue to invite members to join other sites and leave this one...remember...as you like to say...this is a business...remember?

    Agreed. All I did was open a poll for discussion, and suddenyl there is one mod making fun of it, and about 5 other people who just feel the need to jump on the bandwagon. Were you the same kids at school that laughed at somebody who was being made fun of just to be in the cool crowd?

    I fail to see how a discussion of and/or opening of would be such an issue as to raise the level of condescension illustrated by both the mods and the yes men of the mods demonstrated in this thread. Why have a computer security discussion? Why have a lounge?? Explain to me how ANYTHING in the lounge even comes close to relevant to AAS or the like?

    Teabagger and IronFreak, I'm glad I have two intelligent bros touting the same point I am. It's sad to see that sometimes this board has been reduced to simply "Sorry, you're wrong...I'm right...let's laugh at you before I lock your threads and ban you" type status. If you don't want the political forum back, so be it. But are the insults and the sarcasm really necessary? It is funny how peope change a little when they know they can't be talked back to..

    To compare "scuba diving" and the like to politics simply trivializes the things going on in the world today. We have bros here from Iran, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, etc. I'm sure they would be very pleased to hear that scuba diving and gymnastics are being held in the same light as the conflicts and events going on in their backyward. Glad to see some fo you are ignorant enough to actually make the comparison.

    To all you who wanted it back, I tried, and I tried in a civil manner. But apparently we can see where being civil get's you in this crowd.

    It's being done. Being condescending and bashing the cause won't help anything either. The whole point of this thread was to get people to vote and for Brian to see, AND hopefully get people to PM Brian.

    Hopefully it's working, if you don't like the thread, don't read it.

    Dude.. you're obviously imagining things.

    "us".. and 'you'?

    whatever... Mods didn't delete the Political Forum. Mods didn't ask for it to be closed.. It was an Admin decision. As usual, you're just here to instigate.

    Show me where i invited members to leave this site.

    As i said above, it's obvious your sole purpose here is to instigate.

    Again as usual no answers. I'm not "instigating" anything. As a member I'm just tired of those with "power" having a good ole time ganging up on someone...having their fun...but not really addressing the issue. The only response you guys ever give is "it caused problems", "its a business, not a democracy", "if you don't like it, find another forum", . Now if asking questions, and expecting answers is instigating...then you're right, I'm instigating. Narc I never said you specifically invited anyone to go to another site. If you read my post it said "some of you". As a matter of fact you and Johan are two of the most even handed mods on here, so don't take it personal. But you cannot deny this has been said by others.

    This wesite is like a one stop shop...something for everyone. AAS, Hrt, nutrition, training, research, products, sports, politics, and the lounge to cover everything else from marital/relationship problems to toe-jam pie recipe. I don't see it as an "aas" site, or a "bodybuilding" site exclusively. Many many members on here do not use aas and are not "bodybuilders", so when people say "this is an aas site" or this is a "bodybuilding" site" as the answer to why did the political forum go away are wrong. I dare say if the only members here were aas using bodybuilders it would not come close to the current membership.

    I'll close my "instigating" post now and see if there are any responses that will surprise me.

    I'm happy this thread was unlocked, but I'm curious as to why?

    Is there a mod out there doing some underground work to help us out??

    yea, I'm curious too. sounds like someone's using common sense and thinking for themselves.

    also to all the mods who are so vehemently opposed to bringing back the political/religion forum "have any of you seen combat or even been in a war?" i am out of the military and back into bodybuilding now, but having seen combat in both iraq and afghanistan, i am very interested in what other people think about our roles in those countries.

    to you it may not be as cutting edge as threads like "my girlfriend is cheating on me", but to some it is more important
