I did RMP and like to think I did it proper like and no one even came to be entertained…and I tried to be funny. It broke my heart.

Right. And for the people who block it or “swear to never go there” are really shortsighted. Just for entertainment value I visit a couple times a week.
Not like you Mak…several times an hour.

I’ll just take that quote out of context.

I can stop any time, I just don’t want to.
Ah come on, RMP isn’t that bad.
Tell me you haven’t gotten at least some comic relief from the postings there.
It’s not so much the pictures themselves that are funny, rather, its the rationalizations/justifications which crack me up. Some people are absolutely delusional and its pretty funny to watch!

I buy their supplements, despite what my level says.

T-Nation needs to get rid of the “Rate my Physique” Forum. Now. It had potential at its birth, but now, I must say it is dead. Dead from all of the 150 lb teenagers sure
Thoughts and comments?
You don’t get it do you? I have not read through this thread but you can rest assured that T-Nation will NOT be getting rid of this thread anytime soon.
Who do you think buys the supplements that they sell?
DUH.
Really…[/quote]
Sometimes it’s easy to forget first and foremost that Biotest is a business and the reason for T-Nation is to sell SUPPLEMENTS. PERIOD. If the Rate My Physique forum equates to greater sales for Biotest then more power to them. If I were in business I would probably do the same thing.
if you can make it even 2 pages into this thread without cracking up…

I don’t view it as a place to view physiques at all, I look at it as a daily chuckle. Some of the biggest laughs I’ve ever gotten in my life were in that forum.

This gets thrown about a whole lot. First of all, there are a number of things TC and Tim Patterson could do to make more money, but choose not to in order to maintain the integrity of Biotest. So the ‘they’ll do anything for profits’ argument is not true.
Second, most of the people posting in the RMP section are 120lb teenagers, who happen to usually have levels below one. This usually implies they are not spending money at Biotest. They also make threads asking about ON! products, NO2 boosters, and what exactly ‘Grow!’ is. I’m pretty sure the RMP section is there so Mak and accipter can get a chuckle in, and so that the hotornot fanboys don’t dilute the physique and performance forum.
What could TC and Tim Patterson do to make more money? Release an “NO Booster” for all those 15 year olds? Sure, it would sell very well, since they would be able to convince us that all the literature they put out here that told us NO Boosters were scams doesn’t apply to THEIR product.
Let’s face it, this site is not as “hardcore” as it once was. Now everyone gets a “level” based on how much money you spend on Biotest supps? Come on. To be honest, Biotest seems gets a bad rap EVERYWHERE else other than T-Nation. Has anyone read the write-up for Superfood? Makes other ads look tame!

The giraffe pictures were quite amusing, and when he compared creatine to steroids . . . i still prefer to get my amusement from my semi-retarded roomate
In all seriousness, if you think that all the physiques are shitty, here:

Not every post there is shite.

I try not to read if I can help it.
RMP and the V-Diet forums are great sources of entertainment for me.
