Just a slight exaggeration perhaps...

[curt_james]

Read this and tell me it's not the funniest thing you've ever laid eyes on:

If not the funniest then at least, uh, very generous in its description.

"THE FASTEST GROWING" as in what exactly?

"With hundreds of members (who never post), tons of training advice (all dating back to 2004), news (that I pulled from Google), gossip and up-to-the-minute info, what else do you need?"

Well, maybe three or four other active participants.

For starters.

It's like deli_conker said (since deleted - there's your proactive behavior),

"If they don't have things to play with then they're not going to play here."

And they don't.



Would you like to change things? Speak up. Please! What would make MMI Forum a destination more appealing for you? What's the Forum lacking? What are things you enjoy in other forums but which are unavailable here?

Fortress, this is for you. And, of course, I'd love your feedback as well.

What are your restrictions? Is it a bandwidth thing? What's the difference between BodySpace (Bodybuilding.com's version of MySpace), MD Forums, Universal Nutrition's F O R V M, and MMI Forum? Why do the first three literally have thousands of active participants and MuscleMag International, one of the most popular bodybuilding magazines on the planet currently boast, what, two non-employees as "active" participants?

Scott, you're not a MuscleMag employee, are you?

Don't worry, the school year will begin in a few weeks and the Forum can slide back into full-on dust collecting mode.

Maybe it's me.

Once September rolls around I'll be gone and deli_conker will return along with Red.

Don't appreciate your negatively highlighting the challenges we face to reignite the MMI Forum, Curt. The tone of your thread further damages what has been increasingly damaged these past several years. My time with the site has been less than four months and there have definitely been improvements. Exclusive features (many penned by yours truly), new photo galleries, new news section (Dialin' It In), new daily muscle tip section, Forced Reps, new regular column, Yukon Hercules, audio (limited thus far, obviously), new aesthetics, etc., etc., etc.

Please be positive. It takes considerable time to right a ship this size that has gone so far astray from its course.

Nobody loves muscle more than Bob Kennedy, Johnny Fitness and me, Fortress. Improvements will continue, not as fast as you or I would like, but they will happen.

Fair enough, but it seems like you're speaking of the .com versus the .net.

The Forum is my interest while it looks like the MuscleMag website and its Forum are operated independently. No mention of the contest here? I guess there's no reason to post notice in the Forum if it's already mentioned on the main page or site.

Regardless, I'll try to stay positive. I appreciate that you're visiting this neck of the woods.

Wishing you success.
