I have to agree....
Hate to say I told you so.:oWhere have all the Fedor lovers been recently?Everybody split.
Pretty sure the "splitting" from here has nothing to do with Fedor...
schoolyard bully lol
huh?
If I had something against CBB I'd of left a long time ago but if you don't think there's a significant decrease in the level of participation on this forum then you must be blind. Yes we got rid of a lot of "bullshit" but along with that bullshit went quality discussion as well.
I may have spent more than a few posts arguing with people on this forum but I also spent more than my fare share CONTRIBUTING to help the knowledge and it's disappointing that there isn't more engaged activity these days.
You'll notice that the people here are not like rx, getbig etc. They get offended if you insult them. That is what is the hardest to control here...well was. It's gotten much better. I know you're not a troll Nate which is why I never booted you. You are just used to a certain way but have insulted a lot of people with your posting style. Sometimes deserved, sometimes not. I don't read other sites often so I never saw your posting style much. As I started reading around to get info on the bodybuilding news out there, I started to see the pattern where guys think it's cool and funny to attack others and get a reaction.
I guess it could be when someone has a thick skin and remains anon. So trading shots back and forth can be funny. But when someone uses their real name and is known, it's not as funny when fighting with someone anon. That's where you take away from someone's experience online. People on the forums are mostly decent folk trying to learn or hang out. Some say stupid shit now and then and it's alright, people do it all the time in real life..lol. The trick to all this is to maintain RESPECT toward others. Then you feel like you are part of the site. As I've said, the site is much better once it got cleaned out of certain characters. There was a group here who was purposely trying to ruin the experience for everyone to get them to leave the site for others. Some figured it out and messaged me about it.
Site is doing decent again and people are getting involved in more bodybuilding talk. The vets can get bored though as bodybuilding at it's core is rather dry once you know what to do. This is where new blood is good. The young guys with the newbie questions you love so much nate..lol But once upon a time...a long time ago, you were one of them and someone showed you the ropes and helped you out. That is what the site is for. Helping others out whether it's an advanced bodybuilder or a total newbie.
Oh and I agree with Joe Rogan :D

fair enough but its not by pushing cracks right and left that it will change something, i my self give my share to help build this board actualy i was here from day one and we were like five guys talking to each other, giving life to this board, five years later look were we at, biggest canadian bodybuilding forum with more then 5000 viewers a day. I would be the first one to be happy to see more people posting and having good question and story to read but what can be done?? I guess with the new season and all the show coming up and this new board people will back posting slowly but surely.
Nate may not have the best bedside manner and I can see how he offends people, no punches are usually pulled. But he has helped allot of people on this board, his passion for training is motivational. He's helped members of this board along with another notable I remember from Nexus make impressive transformations. CBB is the best board going IMO.
I usually agree with Nate, and to some extent I agree with what he's saying.......... But at the same time MP was put in a position where something had to be done, it was basically a fork in the road and IMHO MP made the right call.
I see the same shit that was starting here happening on other boards, and frankly I don't know how you can call yourself a community when theres so much backstabbing, lying, and other dirty underhanded shit happening. All of that goes with UG talk, its just how it is.
We used to have some pretty heated discussions back when wade was a regular, but we got shut down from anything religious or political.... so there wasn'r much to fight about anymore lol.
And....... Fedor just got older, richer, and a lot more weary from fighting guys bigger and on way better drugs than he's on IMHO. It happens to everyone eventually.
Its kinda like a prime Roy Jones, we'll never really know what he could have done because he never met his match, party because he didn't look for it, but also partly because he didn't take dana's dick too.
He's finished, but there was a time he was #1 IMHO.
Stick around Nate, the board needs you.
People drift in and out....of shape.A former member who complained about Nate has gotten a rep for the same...I think most of the guys here would get along in real life...until they ran out of plates that is.
I think Joe Rogan should fight Fedor.
What happens if a mma fighter is on prescribed HRT therapy and it comes drug test time? Anyone know?
as per usual, Joe Rogan is right. and awesome.
