FIST, do you even know what you are posting?

[TKD]

Maybe it's just me, but it's deterring me from the board with so much crap "medical" articles flooding the board. Are these all your point of view? If not, why post them or why wait until others post to discuss them? For the majority of them I won't even click on it to see what it's about because I don't feel like coming to this board and leaving annoyed and frustrated.

Not trying to go off on you, it just does society a disservice to keep feeding misinformation every chance you get. I am very interested to see new stuff and research that is backed from other sources instead of one sided propaganda. So if these are all topics you really care about, please continue to post them AND share your thoughts.

[Mr I]

To me, if its new its interesting

Otherwise I can simply ignore

It does help of medical stuff is posted in the self care group

[redback]

The old timer is bugging me too.

TKD & Redback
It would be cool to see both you guys originate more threads yourselves

FIST has already contributed some thought provoking material whether its conclusions are something ypu agree with or not is something you're welcome to share

[Bouncer]

I agree. fist, you are welcome here bro but posting random sometimes pure rubbish articles over and over again is a bit much. iv'e actually got a few pm's from people thinking your a spammer. take it down just a notch brother.

[Bouncer]

agree with mr.i also.

people tend to complain but many don't contribute. instead they wait for the few contributers to post new content so that they can then respond.

[TKD]

I am guilty of that. For me starting a thread is more than posting a link. I think a summary of it or some personal thoughts is what's starts the discussion. That's a lot easier for some than others. Myself I am better at giving personal experiences to the discussion at hand, than finding new things that people want to talk about. Especially since I don't train in a gym. I just train taekwondo so I mostly read the nutrition and recipe sections.

A few or 5 threads a day is one thing, but 10-20 is just excessive. I'm not complaining, and I know I rarely start any threads...It's just the combo of a whole page of "FIST" stuff and ads that are on the screen completely changed the feel of the site for me. I've actually came and logged off because of it more than once...Agree, post away but down a notch

Agree on the "FIST" thing at the start of each thread. Not sure why he has to put his username in every thread.

As far as the ads go... I will gladly take them down if you'd like to pay for the site to be run. This site is a free service for you but its not free for me...

[MattG]

Sure I'll pay for it bro. Will a $20 monthly contribution cover it?lol I feel ya man, you gotta do what you gotta do. I guess I just got used to the way it looked here for the past year or two, so as I was saying the combo of fist shit and the ads was like "whoa, wtf is going on here?!" No offense meant brother :thumb:

[Bouncer]

I'll do the best I can to keep the ads out of the way bro.

[MattG]

On a serious note tho, if this place is ever in danger of closing due to financial reasons, I will make a monthly donation to keep it alive bro. I'm sure everybody here that's been around a while would be willing to pitch in as well. Seriously, if that ever happens let me know...

[Mr I]

I guess I just see the good in everyone. ..

I absolutely know what im posting or wouldn't be posting it.Im sorry if my posting is offending you.Not my intentions at all.I guess im different than you,I don't take ofense to others for posting articles of information.Whether I agree with it or not,thats what these boards are for aren't they?

You see,whether or not you think the content of the articles I post is backed by research and data from those in the know of their respected fields.As you will see from the articles they are all written by the actual scientists and doctors with firsthand experience with these subjects so I don't think it warranted saying they are propaganda.If you do feel this way,please post up why you think its so with relevant data proving your opinions.

As far as them being my beliefs,ABSOLUTELY they're my beliefs.But again,I don't post anything because of what I "THINK" or "BELIEVE",thats irrelevant.What is irrelevant is the content of the article for others to read up on and form their own opinions on based on that information.Or to at least stimulate other to do more research on their own to either disprove or prove the data presented in the article.

Again,im sorry if my posting is leaving you frustrated.Not quite sure why that would be.For me,if I don't want to read something on an internet board,I just don't.Or if I do read it and don't believe it,I either just leave the thread or reply to the post with my input and/or feedback.I don't get mad at someone for posting it.

Im too old to worry about what someone else is posting and for certain I feel its not worthy of getting me upset and if I do feel its worthy,I post my reply but don't tell them to stop posting their's.

Not trying to gets people panties in a bunch here folks.Just trying to stimulate discussion,which obviously I have as ive only been here a few days and have a thread dedicated to what I post already.LOL.

I have owned/operated/staffed at many boards throughout the years and still do and ive always encouraged EVERYONE to post whatever they want as long as its not insulting or disrespecting other members.Thats what the boards are here for and activity is what keeps the boards alive.

Sorry if anyone is under a different belief than mine.

As Mr Incredible stated,I would also hope that others would start their own threads and I would be happy to read and comment on any of them.

[F.I.S.T.]

I agree. fist, you are welcome here bro but posting random sometimes pure rubbish articles over and over again is a bit much. iv'e actually got a few pm's from people thinking your a spammer. take it down just a notch brother.

Im sorry if im posting too much brother.Hey its you're board so if you feel posting less is whats best for the boards growth,i'll take it down a notch as you stated.

Funny because since ive been here I see a lot of people replying to my threads that are otherwise not too active so I disagree but not my place to make the rules.

Like the board here and LOVE the community and have always felt stimulating discussion was a good thing.As with anything,shouldn't discussion,with differing opinions be the way to learn and move forward?

Guess im a different breed.Here it seems that posting is welcome as long as it follows everyone elses beliefs?LOL

Not trying to make waves brother,just seems strange to me.
