So fucking true!!! ^^^^|"Hire a Trainer" - that phrase is used here so often, that phrase didn't exist years ago.
I love this place but it has slowly slid...and its no fault of our own.
I find that I check on the forum during the day and the same basic "answered 100 times" questions are being asked. I feel no need to check in or reply to these. THAT'S why the top dogs have left here. There used to be really intelligent conversation here...but slowly we are getting more and more people just trying to get their 50 posts to buy gear and many more of the regular Bodybuilding.com "new as hellll to this" crowd. The smart guys with unique insights are tired of chiming in just to say, "metformin has been discussed 1000 times, use the Search bar." So they just stop posting.
Sorry guys, I call bullshit...I understand what you're all saying, but at the end of the day it comes to the laziness of the Vets here not the new school sheep!
You look at those guys you listed above F2S (And I could post many more!)...Everyone of them posting daily on IG, yet when were the last time any of them logged in here?! This forum has a mobile app and tapatalk still works enough to visit daily without issue...Any pic post they share on their IG pages could easily be posted in their threads here...As well as answering any questions someone may ask or getting involved in discussions.
They used this board for what they needed it for and then moved on (some it took only a few years, some it took 10+)...Now it's easier for them to do #payme then actually show respect to where they came from!
Shit Big A...How many have come back after getting their little certificate asking you to delete all of their posts because they no longer want to be affiliated with a "roid board"?!
You see guys like bboy, MTF, Emeric, even Phil until he went crazy running around with that pack of thieves...They make no excuses, their Pro status didn't change the way they continued to treat this board as home!
Fuck some of the guys that got their Pro card from being here, weren't shit when they first joined...All of us watched them grow from pencils into sharpies throughout the years!
People always try to make convenient excuses because they like this one or that one...I say call it what it is: Bullshit! The mentality: No sense in coming to a place where you get nothing from anymore and are only in a position to give back!
These guys have their gear source, their social following and their contracts...The only time you see most pop in anymore is if the source they were using gets popped and they need a new one!
And not a single one could ever have an arguing point because again, if you're posting multiple times per day on the socials...Well guess what big dog, the forums have mobile apps too and the posting is just as quick!
hashtag fucking TRUTH
I've been here since Burger King was a Prince.
And I've seen so many changes like most mentioned above. There used to be so many knowledgeable people that when someone asked a question. You would get a bunch of replies with information trying to help you.
Now you ask a question and you get 100 replies telling you if you asking that question you have no business using gear. NO SHIT that's why his asking to learn. Why push him away by telling him that he has no business using. To go read and learn before considering using.
Or the famous one answer USE THE SEARCH BUTTON. Why not help him? I think his doing the right thing in asking. yes the search button was created for a reason but let's socialize and get to know the new members. When you where in school and you asked your teacher a question. How would you feel if she or him would of told you in front of the class. Go to the library and read a book and learn. You would feel belittled and embarrassed and not want to come back.
So those members are the ones that go to social media to find the answer without having to ask. And most likely get the wrong answer. Because social media is full of shit.
Here is a perfect example when the search button won't always be the best thing. Let's say the question the person has the topic he reads off the search button is not the best choice because since that topic was created. It was discovered and proven that there is a better method or protocol. Now he goes off from what he read and it's wrong.
It seems that now all you see is members insulting each other, or threads like what car does everyone drive, what to watch on Netflix, what does everyone do for a living. Don't get me wrong I know it's socializing but this board was created by Big A for bodybuilders and bodybuilding topics. Let's socialize in those topics. The only other topic allowed is the ASS THREAD [emoji16] but that still applies to bodybuilders because our test levels [emoji39]
I love this board and I can honestly say this is the only board I'm a member of . And The only other time I have been inside another board is if I Googled a question about something and some of the answers takes you into another board. And there is not one day that goes by that I don't pick up my phone and scroll through the board NOT ONE DAY .Unless I'm on vacation and even then sometimes when I get back to the hotel room at night I peak at it. Unless I'm too drunk,too tired, or getting some ass. Which usually all of the above is the case lol... Oh wait and definitely look at it when I'm dressed and ready to go but have to wait an hour for the princess to finish her hair and make up [emoji16][emoji39]

People have left because this board is no longer what it was supposed to be per Big A - https://www.professionalmuscle.com/...rum/53353-so-sick-heres-truth.html#post672020
TRT only, microdosing, being health-conscious certainly has it's place, but it's not what Professional Muscle was supposed to be about.
If only we didnt have a few members who felt the need to police everyone's lifestyle choices and make uninformed medical opinions on people theyve never meet *hint hint wink wink*
