I used to love posting here, but not being able to find mine or the last post in the thread…makes it hard to keep up with a topic while I am at work.

Not sure about the busy factor – I’m busier than I was when I posted here often: wife, 3 month old, job, etc – that’s not what keeps me away.
I was always on T-Nation to learn about training. But I’ve been at this for 10 years. I know what works for me and I don’t really feel a desire to do much more that skim a few articles here now and again.

How many articles about squat depth or deadlift technique can one read before it becomes useless, redundant information?
I feel like this site, for most visitors, serves a few basic purposes: novice/beginner lifter comes on, learns a few things, obsesses over all the different and competing viewpoints about an endless amount of approaches to training, they try practically all of them, they then suffer from info/program overload, switch to something simple like 5-3-1, find themselves reading less and less articles because they are irrelevant to them, find themselves more and more often in the forums, and then find themselves more and more often in the non-training forums, and then find themselves growing bored with the puerile/sycophantic tone of 99% of the threads in GAL, come over to PWI and realize they probably aren’t equipped to participate in 99% of those threads, and then leave.
This wouldn’t be a problem if more and more newbs came on here to replace the ones that have outgrown the site.
But look around. Newbs are typically people in their late teens/early twenties. But that particular demographic, in this country anyways, is filled with a bunch of FUCKING SWISHES looking for safe spaces for themselves and their motherfucking tinkerbell/ass-pirate buddies. A site like this would be an absolutely TRAUMATIC experience for most in that demographic.
'Tis a shame.

Plain sight. Actually, there isn’t much to bring me here on a regular basis anymore. I’ve rejected all things NFL-related, so the NFL threads are pointless.
I started an NBA thread, but since everyone in the last one made a fool of themselves trying to denigrate the Warriors, and then they started out this season the way they have, nobody goes in there. They look about as stupid as I did with all the Kaepernick talk a while back. I would go back into the NFL thread to take the deserved haranguing from all you guys, but I really don’t give a fuck about anything to do with the entire NFL, so there would be no point in me going in there. I made my thoughts on the NFL pretty clear in the last NBA thread, toward the end, so you can check that out if you want to know my thoughts on the league.
Aside from that, I am just too busy now to come on here all the time and participate in threads unless I really have something to say or it is a thread that captivates my attention. That means that I have been limiting myself to PWi threads on occasion and something in GAL about twice a year.
I still think the site itself is great. It’s just that the utility of the site, for me, is non-existent now.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL???
College is even worse than the NFL! I got off that fucking bandwagon years ago. NCAA football is the place where a motherfucker like Aaron Hernandez can gain legitimacy simply because he’s good. The Florida State bullshit is only the tip of the iceberg. As fucked as the NFL is, college is ten times worse.
Have you heard some of these college players interviewed? Half of them can’t even spell their fucking name! And I’m supposed to get into that shit?!?!?!? For every motherfucking thug with a laundry list of police run-ins that gets into a prestigious school like UT Austin or the University of Florida, there’s another hard-working, intelligent, upstanding student who EARNED their way to a higher education and whose application gets rejected so that someone like Ray McDonald or Aldon Smith can play football there.
Only fucking socialists and outright COMMUNISTS could enjoy a system like that! Is that what you fucking are?!?!?!?!?!? A goddamned pinko fucking LEFTY? I fucking knew it. The NFL is a kleptocracy and the NCAA is for Marxists.
I’ll watch Stanford, and that’s it. At least at Stanford you know every guy on that team earned their way into the school on actual merit, not because someone felt that they deserved a chance more than some other student who actually achieved something.
Now baseball, THAT is a sport! Baseball is for people committed to republicanism and a respect for the Natural Rights of the individual. Baseball is for people who place Higher Law above the will of the majority, for those who reject Rousseau and embrace Madison.
Baseball is a sport that reflects all of the finest characters of the individual; football, be it the NFL or the NCAA, is more akin to what the entire country would look like if the Germans had won the war.

Baseball sucks. Bunch of overweight foreigners.
Plus the NCAA is just NFL minor league, there is community college for guys who cant play.
I’ve got to agree with Push; there has been much less traffic on the main boards in the last few months. I noticed it mid-October, but it’s been progressively getting slower since then. I don’t know if the “last post” function failure has something to do with it or if it’s just the holiday season ramping up. I’m sure things will pick up in January when all the New Year’s Resolutionaries flood the boards.
Speaking of old posters, does anyone know what happened to Vroom? He was one of the most prolific posters on here. He never acted like a jerk, so I doubt he was on the ban list from a few years back.

Do you know what they call Baseball? They call it baseball. Plus, Hitler loved baseball and hated American Football. Cuba? Cuba is all about baseball. Baseball is communism.

I just perused the current NFL thread. I’m not sure what’s more devoid of analytical thought: your post above or literally Every. Single. Fucking. Post. you have ever made in the NFL thread.
The NFL is freedom? Is a fucking penalty flag on every other play your idea of FREEDOM? The game is the most over-regulated sport known to mankind, and that isn’t hyperbole. It is easily the LEAST free sport out there. The fucking players get fined for the most nauseating minutiae, from uniform violations to accidentally touching the QB, and you’re going to tell me it’s FREEDOM?
Only a motherfucking Stalinist who jerks off to the tax code would call that freedom.
Baseball, on the other hand, is pure Americana. Not only that, its prevalence around the rest of the world is proof that it is America’s best sporting export.
Cuba may be all about baseball, but the fact that Cubans for years have risked life and limb to defect and come over here to play it is simply another chapter in America’s long, proud history of attracting people who value freedom.
Baseball was popular LONG before Cuba turned to Soviet-style communism. Castro came to power and the next thing you know, the baseball players are fleeing left and right. Communism and baseball are like oil and water, as history has overwhelmingly demonstrated. Castro tried out for the major leagues in the U.S. once. His rejection is what drove him to communism.
In case you didn’t know, “American-rules football” is a fucking pejorative term around the rest of the world. Baseball, on the other hand, is synonymous with free trade. Think about it: the entire world has access to all American sports, and what is the one that they’ve voluntarily accepted for more than 120 years?
It’s fucking baseball, you limp-wristed swish. The NFL is the height of normative social engineering.
On top of that, baseball players are the REAL patriots, not the NFL players. There’s Pat Tillman, and that’s about it. But baseball has a long, proud history of players putting their careers on hold to fight for this country.
So you can take your post-war-Commie-conspiracy bullshit and shove it right up your motherfucking ASS! Which shouldn’t be too hard since you have a goddamned asshole about the same size and shape as a jar of organic peanut butter.
Also, Hitler fucking LOVED football. It’s a sport tailor-made for necrophiliacs. If anything, Hitler hated baseball for being such an egalitarian sport. People built like anyone from Babe Ruth to Barry Bonds to Omar Vizquel, and everyone in between, can play baseball. Not so with football. Hence the bullshit rules and regulations in a bizarre attempt to create equality where it doesn’t exist and shouldn’t exist.
Football has to try to force some version of equality through legislation, which explains why each field is the exact same fucking size. It’s a goddamned socialist sport and you know it.
Actually, I’m forgetting your posting history over in the NFL thread. You probably aren’t even capable of grasping a single motherfucking point I’ve made here.

Overweight foreigners? Are you for fucking real? Have you ever heard some of these football players speak, especially the ones who are suffering from dementia at the age of 40? Half of them sound like fucking aliens. They certainly aren’t speaking anything close to the language that you and I speak.
And I laugh at the overweight part. Pablo Sandoval is literally the sloppiest, fattest player in the majors, and there are about half a dozen guys on EVERY team in the NFL that make him look like an Olsen twin.
Your slanderous, socialist, semi-treasonous arguments hold no water.
Does anyone have any idea what the going hourly rate is to hire a guy who hangs out in front of Home Depot? I’ve got some digging I need done and am wondering if $12-$15/hour would get any takers.

Complete bullshit. Sid Luckman and 19 of his 28 teammates left the NFL and went and faught at Normady. Roger Stauhbach won the Heisman then went on to serve his 4 years in the Navy, and served in Vietnam before returning to QB for America’s Team. Gino Marchetti faught at the Battle of the Bulge as a machine gunner, he changed the position of DE. Countless NFL players served for our nations military. I would bet at a higher percentage than baseball.
