I absolutely love how easily accessible the BB.com forums are, but a few things I noticed about these forums that seems to be different than the rest of the forums is the following:

- you can't use codes in the signatures such as making things bold or smaller or underlined
- you can't use avatars for some reason?
- the order in which the forums are layed out, the most logical way would be Training/Diet/Supplements/Journals in that order, but in this case it reads Supplements/Supplement Reviews/Supplement Science, etc. etc.

Just some ideas that I think everyone would appreciate. :)

Well I think People can't use aviators is because it makes the forums look more professional (Without), and everyone doesn't have stupid pics beside there names. For every good pic you would have 5 bad ones.

The smaller larger trying, this would allow trolls too much freedom, they would try to mess up every thread with pointless post and it also makes everything very 'even' looking when scrolling down a thread.

A few things I would change.
- Have a section for just peoples videos, you tube, workout, ect, anything goes (rules apply)
- I would make a section just about Entertainment, TV, Movies, Ect. (I mean you have one for WWE!)
-Then I would make a section for beginners, new to bb.com and they could ask very bad questions and be answered nicely, giving them hope to research and come back well informed.

Do something about all the A-holes that neg you just because they can, when you can't do anything back to them.

they dont allow avatars because of the bandwidth it will take up



I recon there should be an Australian board, or country specific boards (only for the major ones)

This the reason I love the BB.com forums. They aren't like every other clown-happy forum. They don't look all graphical. This site is meant to be for information and it should be layed out nicely and thats it. Add in avatars and the place just gets uglier. And trolls will abuse it with stupid pictures.

Why? What does Australian body builders have to offer that the rest of the world can't?

Unless Australians are world leaders in their field, have superior genetics and produce all supplements, what makes them deserve a forum?

If you are talking purely for Misc. purposes then thats even stupidier. People are relying more and more on the Misc. section and frankly, its getting tedious.

err no i said country specific boards, im not individually pointing out australia only (i assume youre just trying to be an ass because of that argument you started when you didnt agree with something i said on the misc forums)

if there is country specific areas, you can ask about specific supplements available in that country, bodybuilding events, gym etc.

if you hadnt noticed, this board is predominately american, 3/4 of the supplements available in US arnt available elsewhere

ask an Australian/or country specific question, within 10 minutes the post will be lost and itll be 3-4 pages back

I disagree. I think you only want it so that you can talk to Australians. I don't think it would be used and if it was it would be treated more along the lines of a Misc. chat than for bodybuilding talk.

Your last specific Australian threads were about The Biggest Loser, Big Brother, and Australian selling laws.

Only one vaguely had something to do with Bodybuilding, and I doubt if we had a forum for you that would change.

You would be much better creating a thread in Supplement specially for you.

of course i only want it so i can talk to other australians, why else would i want it? :rolleyes:

yes youre right "The Biggest Loser, Big Brother, and Australian selling laws" have NOTHING to do with bodybuilding, which is why I DID put it in the misc forum

looks like youre stalking me, so then you would also know about the posts i made about 'casein available in australia', 'bodybuilding/powerfliting events in australia' etc. which i put in the relevant training forums

and like i said, especially with the casein thread, within 10 minutes it was 3-4 pages back

i know having some country specific boards would be most beneficial, they would be really helpful when asking about supplements/events etc. what are availalble/going on in that country, and it definatley will be more beneficial by just posting the question in any of the other forums


Kyza there are already boards like music, relgion, wwf... why cant these just go in misc also?
