alright fellas. i know im young but have been around the boards a while. and this truely is a great board with lots of vets/seniors/mods who know their shit. i was gone for a while and when i came back i realized many people have not been posting. so i ask you the reasons people have not. we were all in the position once of being the new guy on the board and afraid to ask questions. so this goes out to the newbies and trying to create a successful board and make people post. what are the reasons people are not posting. please feel free to add.
1. newbies intimidated to ask
2. feeling like they may ask a stupid question
3. feeling like they know the answers
4. not sure how to ask or what place to ask the question.
5. not feeling like they can be trusted here.

to all you newbies, i would love to hear why your not posting. this is a great board and the fellas here are willing to help. people feel free to add to this list. maybe this is what is needed to get the board going and participation up. someone correct me if im wrong but posts are down from people here except the regulars. just trying to help out the board and encourage people to post up. there are a bunch of great members here but it seems like noone is posting up their thoughts. even vets can add to this list and maybe the newbies will add and we can help the the board grow. after all the hard work from you guys, it seemslike peopleare afraid to post. feel free to add or correct me.

no such thing as a stupid question in this world we play in... now... there are things in 'our' scene that might get you in bad trouble... ask away... a true vet or mod will help you out...

I Think That The Fact That There Are So Many Boards Nowadays, And Far Less People In The Community (ORD Took Alot Of People, And The Ones It Didn't Affect Directly, It Scared Away) Has Alot To Do With It.

Currently There Is Alot More Supply So Far As Boards Than There Is Demand, Then To Make It Worse, The Boards That Have The Most Action Are Srce Boards, This Has Always Been True, And Is Even Moreso Nowadays.

Several Of Us Staff Both Kinds Of Boards Both Srce And Non Srce And I Think Most Would Agree.

Also, Its Hard To Have Both Worlds High Volume Usually Means Alot Of Bullshit, Look At The High Volume Boards Like Bb.com, Anabolicminds, Mindandmuscle, Meso, Mayhem, Professionalmuscle, Etc. Those Boards Are Riddles With Bullshit And Spam And God Knows What.

So When You Filter All That Out, And Then Try And Divide What Your Left With, Between 30 Boards, You Get What We Have Here.

I've Often Wondered Why About 30-45% Of The Boards In The Community Are Even Up, They Get 7-8 Members Come By A Day Maybe 30 A Week, No New Posts, Other Than Intro's, Kinds Makes You Wonder Why?...

...not To Get Off On A Tangent, Because Its Directly Related To The Problem Of Too Many Boards Not Enough Members:

I Guess Alot Of Guys Just Like To Be Able To Say They Own A Baord, And Because How The Community Is These Days, Owning A Board Instantly Means Your "someone" And Get Vip/vet At Places Because Of It, So That Is Another Reason Why There Are So Many Boards, Which Effects The Flow Of Members.
