Me too.

They are willing to post half-nudies for the world to oggle, but gawd forbid they broadcast some a 1-5 number that ambiguously suggests the amount of money they have dropped on this site.

Privacy is a funny thing.[/quote]

Indeed. So what? Does it really affect your life that an online website levels 0 complain about its changes? Are you one of the admins or contributors?

I’ve spent thousands on this site’s supps on another account and I have posted pics of my ass on SAMA using this account, without showing my face. Still doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have any say on TN website changes because I’m 0 on the DN account. I, feel that I have contributed to the TN business hence I know I should complain if I’d like to (though I’m not even complaining about any change).

Whatever the mods and admins have decided is fine by me. That’s change and we deal with it.

And again, IF users are banned, we will not have a dialog about our reasoning on the Forums.[/quote]

Why not? For the most part the question is being asked on behalf of some of the people banned. If it’s a business decision, it’s fair enough but perhaps the rest of us would like to avoid the mis-step that led to that decision. Wrapping it in mystery just prolongs the curiosity.[/quote]

Agree.

Looks like you are going to asked them why they think they were banned. Sounds like there was some bad juju going on that we do not or are going to know about

Hall’s been banned for a couple of weeks. Didn’t know Chucks has gone too :frowning:

Why not make SAMA a private forum only accessible to members? This way nothing would ever show up in public search engines. It would not affect your ranking in any way.

eh,… there’s been a lot of changes over the years, and while the first few days may have the odd glitch here and there, they always get worked out, and within a week or two, everyone forgets that anything is different.

I’ve got bigger issues to whine about :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Your forums will still be there. However, some of them will not be accessible by people who aren’t members.

Here’s a short version of the scoop – a lot of people were coming to the site, specifically, the Sex and the Male Animal forum, who weren’t members. I mean, a lot.

In general, though, a couple of forums, Sex and the Male Animal especially, have proved to be a big pain in the keister to us. People were using it as an unofficial Ashley Madison site – the site for cheating spouses. There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t get emails from wannabe Romeos or Jezebels pleading that we delete all their posts from the dawn of T-Nation, lest their cheatin’ heart be exposed.

Furthermore, having that forum, and even the Steroid forum, prevents us from being accessible through certain search engines. “Oh heavens, that site discusses female body parts!” “They is talking about steer-oids!” Anyhow, it hurts our potential traffic immensely.

BUT, we’re not getting rid of them. We’re just making them a little less easy to find. However, once it’s completely worked out, you might just need to do an extra mouse click to find them.[/quote]

Hey, I wouldn’t have found my wife if it wasn’t for SAMA… It has served it’s purpose :)[/quote]

Yes, thank goodness Valor’s wife stopped giving him blowjobs!
[/quote]
Yeah, no shit.

Now, it looks like I have to talk about sex…with…you. :expressionless:

MiM, nlmain and Cal appear to be gone too. Their logs are dead.

I always thought that majority of their posts were in theirs and other PW logs. What did they do? I would think that the mods would want us to know what they did so that we don’t do whatever it was that has caused so much trouble already. Its kind of hard to stop “bad behavior” if no one knows what their not supposed to do.

Allrighty bro, we’ve heard ya. You win.

Now calm down, okay? If this wasn’t such a big deal to you, you wouldn’t write long paragraphs on the issue.[/quote]

Thanks for assuming discussion forums should be about something other than discussion – hey! Looks like we’ve inadvertently stumbled across the reason why some forums here are in the shitter! Thanks for (finally) pulling your weight around here, Nancy Drew.

TBH, though, I both understand and fully appreciate how difficult it must be for you to converse with another human being who happens to share an opinion different than your own without resorting to comments about sodomy, transsexualism, bleeding/traumatized genitalia, closet racism, your vast fortune and all the other intellectual gems you’ve left behind in your wake here.

If there was ever a case in point for what the Admin have been griping about…

313

Why do people care why other, anonymous strangers were banned from a website? This is getting strange now.

314

CH has my curiosity perked but I bet there is a reason the general public can’t see and the decision was most likely logical.

Can I have a cookie?

If you have to argue about sex, you’re doing it wrong[/quote]

What if sex comes after the argument?[/quote]

Doesn’t it always?
[/quote]

Apparently not if you posted naked pictures of yourself in the sex forum.

316

I would like to know what not to do to not be banned.
seems fair?

The same thing happened when Kuz, Angry Vader, Rainjack and ZAP ummm departed.

This tends to happen every so often.
