Heck I was still wondering when old hands like RJ and Zap were going to reappear…
[/quote]

I know why RJ disappeared. He told me why over the phone. He was not banned. He left of his own free will.[/quote]
As did Zap.

It’s a long and distinguished list.[/quote]

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

This tends to happen every so often.

I wondered what happened to Vadar.

That would make sense if the two people who have said they do that hadn’t said they buy Biotest supplements. The “one account for fun and another for buying supps” makes absolutely no sense. That is about as smart as when I had a student describe the second law of thermodynamics as “like when a woman stops giving blowjobs after she gets married.” I do not buy that reason for a second.

I was wondering about that.

Maybe some people used their actual name or other identifying info when the registered as a customer, but when they decided to use the forum they wanted a different username?
[/quote]

That still doesn’t explain why they still use the other account. It would be easier to delete the old account and use the new “forum name” account for both. Why use 2 accounts when there is no real reason to?

I thank them for doing this.

Cannot access T-Nation @ work due to porn links …

Would be nice to have that restriction lifted.

Thanks.

In this Sama clean up where any male members banned?

And the steroid forum- kind of a grey area of legality
That stays?

I come here to read and learn about training my own and others
I don’t care about the off topic areas nor of the drama spewing forth
However if people are being banned
What about the professional shit stirred
Or people whom have made serious repeated racist or gender based comment that’s are unacceptable
That all ok?

I thought the same at first, but debraD has already ordered supps under the account she posts with.

I don’t hate women! Who hasn’t had a bad date or recognized a slut? Exceptions, not rules, as I’ve been clear about.

I do find it interesting most of the women I caught grief from are gone. I know a crazy bitch when I see one. And the women I like are still here. Frankly I feel vindicated even if I can’t see behind the scenes.

CH is the only mystery to me but what eva, I’m sure there is a reason. And they say its always from those you least expect.

That pretty much has to be it. I’d bet on it.[/quote]

If they wanted a catchier user name, why not switch over to that as their primary account for purchasing after they registered it? It’s not like the ordering process is particularly cumbersome; it’s arguably more convenient to get it out of the way once and spare the long-term toggling of accounts.

Besides, the whole “business account” vs “fun account” explanation is pretty ridonk, though, and doesn’t support this particular hypothesis.

This is my list from Dasher.

Dasher, Hallowed, Mascherano, nlmain, MiM, CH, Nadiacomeandeat, Merrysailor, Cal jones

I don’t understand how all of these people were banned but I’m not going to ask questions b/c I won’t get an answer.[/quote]

I would imagine a handful of these are dual accounts. [/quote]

Nah, I’ve seen them all interact at length in their training logs. They each have posted many pics and/or vids of themselves. Way too much trouble for a second account.

Some truly good people on that list.

Put it this way, if I’m going to post in the Steroids forum about my experience, do you really think I want a paper trail leading back to me with my credit card number, name, address, etc?

People enjoy their anonymity on internet forums.

FTR, I’m not saying that that’s never the case… I’m just questioning whether or not that IS the case as often as some want to make it seem.

Then Anonym needs to get the sand out of his vagina about Level Os.[/quote]

First of all, I ain’t even mad.

Secondly, do you think it is perfectly reasonable to act like you deserve answers from a supplement company on their own web site despite not having EVER purchased anything of theirs?

That your input should be as valid as the people who actually shop here?

That money DOESN’T talk when it comes to how businesses approach their practice?

That the people who contribute to this site in the venues that would spur the most purchases are on the same level as people who post 90% cat pics in the D-list areas?

That, exceptions to the rule notwithstanding, the above is true a vast majority of the time?

THAT’S the point. It isn’t a reflection on any one of you, though the fingers-in-ears LALALA-ing certainly is.

But, nah, I’m an asshole for questioning that the TK thread is somehow just as much a moneymaking machine as the BOI threads were/are.

Cool story, sis.[/quote]

Wouldn’t you like to know… :wink:

Since it has been used in the same examples as SAMA, are you going to be closing down the Steroid forum as well?

Hubs will be undergoing some changes soon. We’ll add this to the wish list.
