yes, and your point?
the T-Cell isn’t to just post random stuff and not contribute to the rest of the site.

What would work are more forums for pyramid rock climbing bodybuilding haters (like Tribulus’s idea for a general forum), in that way you keep the people out that YOU want out. It’s so easy to understand.[/quote]
What’s done is done. If you don’t like it, then cry me a river JT.
Wow, it just gets more rediculous. Don’t people have anything better to do than bitch about aspects of this site?

Apparently not. I think the real reason for the T-cell was so we didn’t have to listen to the bitches whine.

If it wasn’t obvious what I was getting at I’ll elaborate: You have your own forums now and you are still in here with the little people. Why is that? Probably because you can’t have this kind of discussion in those forums with such a limited pool.
You want in that bad?
If it fails, you’ll be the first to gloat.

That’s pretty rich from you, considering the amount of whinning that you have done in this thread

It’s because that forum is for serious discussion of bodybuilding. Again I say: Blame the trolls.

Please, quote some of this whining back to me.

It’s because the Cell members are trying to keep forum topics on track. One of the major reasons for creating the Cell to begin with was to nullify discussions of random topics by ill-informed members. Sure the limited amount of members means less traffic, but that’s a good thing, in fact, that’s another reason it was made.
Being a member of the cell really humbles me as a poster because it makes me think twice about what I post. Before every post I have to think, “Does this contribute to the overall views of what the Cell was made for?” By and large, that’s a good thing, because I’m sure everyone else in the Cell does it too. It keeps stupid stuff to a minimum and naturally keeps everything on track.
If you read the threads and the posts, it’s pretty obvious why the idea was originated because the whole thing is being executed flawlessly so far. The members are also very selective about who they invite as well, so the pool of members will naturally be kept low as well.
All Killer No Filler.

Adding to what dizzle said, no one in the cell is posting just to see their name pop up on the screen. Because it is closed, people respect it when they are allowed to post there and it makes people think before hitting “enter” on that big marvelous turd of a post they just typed up so they could get their snarky little opinion in.
Perhaps instead of attacking the T-Cell and trying to find little ways to undermine it, all the griefers could contribute positively to the open forums so that t-cells wouldnt be necessary in the first place. The t-cell is valid just for threads like this. Just a thought. Peace.
Dont they fail when you get AIDS? Or wait do you mean T-Cell Alpha here on T-Nation?
I haven’t even looked at the T-Cells yet. And don’t really understand what they are. That’s not to say I think it’s a bad idea. I just haven’t got around to check it out yet. The point is it hasn’t affected my T-Nation ‘experience’ one bit in the last couple days. No one has any cause to complain. If you don’t like it, don’t go there.
Well, apparently I was invited to be a part of T-Cell Alpha. Time to figure out exactly what it is!

The T-Cells seem like a good idea to me. The Bodybuilding forum tends to be bombarded with topics that should go in the beginners forum or perhaps a different forum entirely. On the other hand, the T-Cell Alpha seems to be void of those topics so far from what I can tell.
Also, with the way the T-Cells are currently set up, allowing each new member to invite other members (I think?) it seems as though your odds of getting in at some point are good if you truly want to post there. This is of course assuming everyone in there doesn’t think you’re a complete jackass.

It’s redundant in the sense that any discussion taking place there could have taken place somewhere else.

While I actually like most of posters using it I don’t consider any of them to be ‘elite.’ I don’t know all of them so my opinion might be misinformed.
-
The point of a forum is interaction. I can’t interact on it and therefore have no use for it and have blocked it.
-
Even if I could use it, much like BBB I wouldn’t use it because it smacks of pseudo-elitism, which is worse than actual elitism IMO because it’s cheesy.
In conclusion, I am sorry that the bodybuilders have had to put up with so much BS on their forum, but the T-Cells take away from this website as a whole. People that used to interact on the forums are now privately having discussions that exclude most of the population, thus alienating them.
So basically my suggestion would be to take the extra forums and block them out (v-diet, training logs, etc…) and have the moderators monitor what goes on the BB forum so that it is still open to the public AND satisfies the desires of posters that were sick of the off-topic bullshit there.
It could be argued that the discussions on the T-Cell will SO interesting that it’ll be worth it. I doubt it, unless maybe you are an utter noob to lifting. THAT DOESN’T MEAN that the discussions aren’t interesting there, it means that the loss to the other forums isn’t somehow made up by the fact that the interesting discussions that used to be public are now private.
I hope everyone that read that last paragraph comprehends that it is NOT an attack on the posters of the T-Cell, it is merely an observation about what the T-Cell realistically adds and takes away from this site. [/quote]
