Just to be clear: we’ve moved from “it doesn’t matter whether or not they are paying customers” to saying, “well, what if we ALL happen to purchase our Biotest supplements elsewhere?”

Gee whiz, I wonder just how much more we can budge this stalemate if we keep at it for more than… oh, I dunno, a few posts.[/quote]

Actually I came to this site cause I seen this big d00d drinking Surge Recovery in the locker room at my gym in 2007. I didn’t know much about supplements at the time. He gave me this site and recommended the forums cause they are wealth if info. I have been studying this site ever since.

I started buying Biotest products cause they are good and they work. They have good science backing them up. I even persuaded my local supplement retail store to buy them.

The only reason I don’t post in other parts of the forum is because I feel I am not qualified to offer advice when I have so many questions still. And I am not going to re-post what has been posted a 1000 times.

And now your telling me cause I have level 0 my opinion doesn’t matter? Get off your online high horse.

And last but not least I come for the people and I am passionate about a great site that gives out free knowledge. If TC said I am shutting it all down I would respect that and say thanks for the great times. Cause its his place and that’s fine. All I was asking for was whats going on explanation from him.

I had a friend at my gym tell me about this new website back in 2001, I came here to find articles involving powerlifting, rather than hawt abz stuff. I remember the fat fast diet, t-dawg, and others to be refreshing and new.

Also, I continue to see the dodging of the question about why MEMBERS were booted with no reason or explanation. [/quote]

Ouch.

Strange. Youtube did the same thing with dead accounts Last month. Just did a spring cleaning and cleared thousands of Youtube accounts that had not been used for a period of time.

Hope it was that and not a “this person is to explicit or rude type of thing”.

If you dont argue about sex, you are not getting any.

What sucks is that some of us have been good customers. I used to participate more in the other threads but then I learned that I really didn’t know anything and was just parroting the coaches on the site. So rather than giving bad advice, I stopped. I still read though. And I also buy the stuff here.

That would leave a couple dozen accounts left standing.

There are a handful of women that are cut off. Several of whom don’t post rude or explicit material. In fact some should have been banned long ago just because they are sweet, kind and don’t fit in at all. Fuzzy unicorn bitches.

TC,
Can you comemnt on the rumor that several women were banned from the site after their SAMA pics were found pinned to the wall of a still at large serial killer?

And the articles are solid, they’re how I found this place one fateful day googling deadlifting in a finance class.

I’ve emailed some to buddies. I have no idea if they’ve bought anything but they haven’t joined the forums. In fact I catch grief for it. At least I can tell them I’m a “zero” who buys shops brick and mortar.

Or maybe I should rack up online purchases and bust their balls for being TN zeros, especially the guy who played D1 and can squat 700+, the fucking loser zero.

I dunno if you look at my name and post count you will see directly this might be true. Those who know me know I have been around for a while.


that’s the meanest thing that you’ve ever said to me, Anonym~

This has already been addressed. It’s really not a big deal if you get your supplements elsewhere and only come here for entertainment. It’s a risk they fully understand and are willing to take with this business model.

But, when the time comes that you feel this site “owes” you something… then at least have the intellectual honestly to recognize how silly that idea is.

The acrobatics that have been employed to try and put the contributions of Level 0, Off-Topic posters on the same level as a) actual customers, or b) people who DO make On-Topic contributions regularly in an attempt at proving that all voices should be heard equally is just ridiculous.

She’s banned. She can’t post. She’s one of many.

Well I’m rude, raw and explicit. I’m still here aren’t I?

There must be other reasons why the other ‘‘sweet’’ female posters had their accounts canned.

I remember a few weeks back some posters decided to leave after Hal was cut off.
