I’d been reading in there only rarely anyway because I don’t like not being able to interact in conversations, but that drained what interest I had left.[/quote]
I pretty much fully agree (including your further comment). Normally, when I want to read up on training issues, I’ll go to the bodybuilding forum - yes, even though it’s full of noobs and trolls; at least it’s an open forum.

It is very interesting that a forum you supposedly feel so indifferent about has you constantly commenting on it in the open forums at any opportunity given. In fact, I don’t think there has ever been one of these threads about the T-Cell that you do NOT make a post in.
Are you sure you understand the definition of “indifference”?

I wonder what the criteria is for getting approved by the approvers. Care to shed some light on that X?
I thought when it first started that other T-Cell members were able to allow people in, did that change?[/quote]
Yes, because a good person would let a marginal person in, who would let a troll in, who would wreak havoc and ask whether to cut or bulk. Or something like that. I wasn’t really paying much attention when it happened.
Re: the Geek thread, yeah, we might need a Geek Shit 2.0 thread. That one is starting to take forever.

We could always put in a bid for our own T-Cell.
I want a SAMA T-Cell.
Considering some of the threads lately, that might not be a bad idea.
I want a GEEK T-Cell.
That’s a cool idea…the Geek Shit thread takes longer and longer to load for me than the other pages.[/quote]
Yeah, along with what pushmepullme was saying, I was thinking we should maybe ask X to start a new thread now that the original thread is 100 pages and takes forever to load. At the same time, I kind of like how epic that thread is. It’s pretty awesome when a thread can reach 100 pages and still be on topic.
I still like the idea of a GEEK T-Cell though. Then we could break out some of the topics discussed in the geek thread into more specific threads.

Thanks for the clarification.
I still read some of the T-Cell stuff; and it is mildly annoying to not be able to put in my two cents. I’m not all jokes yaknow!

I should clarify that I didn’t mean the above to suggest that there aren’t outstanding athletes in the T-Cell. There certainly are. My point was only that member selection is not an exact enough science that anyone should feel badly that they are out while others are in.
I keep waiting for Prof X to invite me in. I mean, let’s face it, it is BORING! A forum without trolls is like canoeing a river that is perfectly straight and goes 3 miles per hour — fun for chatting little old ladies but not much else.
I guess he doesn’t appreciate artists.

Holy crap! This is the first time I’ve ever seen HH break character. I feel vindicated, yet sad.
