I’ve noticed this too. I wonder if the weather has to do anything with it. After all, it’s been pretty cloudy outside, or at least where I live.[/quote]
now i realize that its a bump, but its a decent place to ask questions that you dont have another place to ask and get the opinions of a wide audience, even if the opinion ends up being MMF.
there are alot of drunk/high musings, and then questions that seem to run through your mind when you are trying to sleep at night but cant, then just frustrating observations.
my T-Nation personality is pretty different from my real life personality. I am much more thoughtful and earnest when I have time to sit think and edit.
Most others I have noticed, are probably a lot more aggressive and outspoken than in real life(although they will claim to be the same IRL). In my case and with other people, I find that the discussion is very honest and you can have confrontations without harboring hard feelings. Its a strange time to be alive. GAL is where our Avatars interact and it blows my fucking mind.
Most of the other forums are for practical advice. Conversations you’d have in the gym. This is where it gets mixed up and I dig it.

wow!!! I sometimes wonder what has happened to our T-Nation ancestors. Some of them vanished without a trace… Did they die… did they go to bb.com ?? did they win the lottery?? we will never know. What happened to Aleksandr?? and neo??[/quote]
Yes, our T-Nation ancestors died out long ago. If you dig deep enough, you can find their bones still intact. They’re usually found in small huddled groups around remnants of long extinguished cooking fires with game carcasses strewn about. Most of their barbells have rusted and either have been scattered, or were picked up by bandits long ago.

Wow, the “off-topic” section of the T-mag
forum has turned into a self help support
group. Choose your course material: you have,
depression counseling, etiquette school,
inter-faith relationship counseling, spousal
infidelity counseling, and the end of the
world support group. I’m not criticizing, I
just find it … Actually, I’m not quite sure
how to take it. How 'bout I just reiterate,
it’s an “observation.”

Probably reading a field that is not a number or something like that.

These questions have been answered before, seemingly every time an old thread gets bumped.[/quote]
Just to elaborate - back in 2001, posters weren’t required to register to post and respond to threads. As such, T-Nation (testosterone.net back then) was pretty overwhelmed with many posters, so many that it was the biggest party spot on the net. Consequently, everyone posted hundreds of thousands of times, and at one point in 2003, all posters had the exact same post count. Shit was crazy.
At that point, TC and Tim knew they had to do SOMETHING, so they forced all of the posters to register with the forum. Reluctantly they all agreed, but they were so pissed off about registering none of them ever posted again.

Sounds like T-Nation 2003 was the place to be. Too bad I was still spending most of my time on the net playing Dragonball Z flash games =(
