Why cant NATURAL PROS have an avator/bold name?

[Acman23]

This topics is discussed here and there and may have already been discussed with an answer, but I havent seen a final answer anywhere..so PLEASE DONT JUMP DOWN MY THROAT...

IFBB Pros here have bold name and Avator, so why cant other PROS, such as myself, get the same thing?

I think we have worked just as hard and have accomplished a huge goal (even though many dont think natural pro cards are big deals) and I think we should have the same fair treatment?


Agree/disagree?

So my question for the MODS..will this happen? If so, kool, if not, why not?

He was a mod before he became a pro.

Well i guess the answer is since this is called the "IFBB Pro Bodybuilding" forum, you have to be a IFBB Pro Bodybuilder to get those perks.

I think the big part of it is there are certain ways we, as forum members know we are REALLY talking to an IFBB pro. The main way is that they have avators under their name.

I mean look there is a person here with the name "Ronnie Coleman" an avator lets me know if this is really ronnie coleman or just a regular joe. I NEED to see that avator to believe it is that actual pro.

But, Shaun, I believe I am talking to you. I don't need an avator because I trust it is you.

BUT, out of respect, I agree, all pro's should have an avator.

on a side note, you look great man. Your the biggest 140lb dude I ever seen!

[latrell]

yes shaun and dubdiezel both deserve the bold name with an avatar, you'll get it by tomorrow for sure now that it's addressed.

Thankx for the comments and thanks for backin my statement...I just honestly believe that ALL pros should have the same perks.

Zane>>>>God-YOur def. right, this board is called IFBB, but if you look at the small print, it says any talk about Pro Bodybuilding, not just IFBB bodybuilding. And like it was stated by someone before, I think Natural Pros post more on here than any other IFBB pros, honestly. I'll see a few posts here from Bob, but thats about it.
And honestly, if you send a private message to an IFBB pro, do they EVER respond?

True but if you look exactly right next to that statement it says "Chat with real IFBB pros." I think that's why they get the avatar and bold name, so you can know who's a real IFBB pro.

IDK, tho. Where's BOB he could clear this up. His response will probably be similar to his response to "Change the Forum Name" thread.

BOB:"You want your own avatar?! You want your own avatar?! Make your own stinking forum!!"

lol...Maybe his response will be like that..but im asking the Mods and webmaster, not only BoB....
thanx for your response..

lets keep this going till we get progress...

[latrell]

all of us support both sides, ifbb pros and other fed pros, after all were all bodybuilders who love the sport. I admire and appreciate what any pro has done and accomplished so I wont take anything away from either side. Not taking anything away from the new natty pros like Shaun and Layne, but the IFBB is the top Federation of the sport, it's like the NBA of bodybuilding, steroids or not. I take my comments back that this should be changed because the IFBB athletes are like the all stars of the sport, and I'm 100 percent sure these pros in smaller federations/organizations still or did look up to the IFBB pros like Arnold, Dorian, Shawn Ray, Levrone, Ronnie, Bob etc...

What I wholeheartedly agree on though, is that the Pros should be given the avatar and the bold name for sure, and should still respond and contribute to this section even though it is the IFBB section.

You should get a bold name and avator, that would help point out the pros. I agree that all pros should get the opportunity to be reccognized, and having a bold name and avator here on bb.com is a great way for the public to recognize and interact with teh pros, whether they be natural or not. I want to intereact with ALL pros, not just the IFBB ones.

Btw, omg your big, i sincerely have trouble believing your 140lbs. You look so much bigger.

[milesjamal]

How many people could claim themselves to be pro's at bodybuilding and be correct? Would it be a huge number? Not trying to be sarcastic or anything im just curious cause i really have no idea. Cause if the number is huge its obvious why only IFBB pro's get it.

Yea..def agree...It does give other members a chance to talk with pros and gain knowledge. Not everyone wants advise from just IFBB pros. They would want to gain knowledge and info from Natural Pros as well esp. those who want to remain natural.

BTW>..lol.yea im 140lbs...Im hoping to be at 150 by the end of the summer if not better...

thanx to everyone who is responding and giving their feedback. Hopefully the mods can/will responds

I want an avatar as well. I'm an IMPBF pro(In My Parents Basement Federation), where the hell's my avatar and bold name?

yeah agree, and they will respond and give you the avatar for sure.

Thats like going to a Hollywood board - where people like Brad Pitt have an avatar and bold name - and go, hey im a B-movie actor, wheres my avatar??

No disrepect though, i respect your accomplishments, but the IFBB Pro's are the most famous. If they'd give every "regular" pro these feats people will go like: "Who are you?"

I agree its a fame thing... the Ifbb pros are well known, so they need the avatar /bold so people can distinguish them and know they are talking to the real deal.

nattys deserve respect for a lot of them like u are dedicated to the dot

No doubt about it your a great bodybuilder. But you've only been lifting for 2 1/2 years and your already a pro. I think thats great and all but the truth is your only 140lb. Layne is another great bodybuilder who personally think is a cool guy, but as good as he is he isn't some genetic freak or even imo a big guy. Frankly if i saw him on the street I wouldn't think much of him.
Most Ifbb pro's had to lift and use gear for years (normal amount is like 8) to be a pro, and when you see a ifbb pro there is no mistake the guy is a ****ing bodybuilder. The difference is huge, and imo the reason why they and only they should have bold titles and Avators.

the guy is 5'3, his frame can only carry that much muscle. dude its time to post a pic or shutup

the day that natural bbders are dispised and viewed as worthless, is going to be a sad day in bodybuilding.

give these guys the respect thats due.

lol very true

isnt it sad how the online forums have become? ist either the pros come pimping for attention to generate publicity..i wont say who

or they avoid it totatlly because of kids hating on them ..well, i guess u got to move on anyway

very few pros actually put effort in keeping in touch with their fans probably because there's no direct revenue from it ..only lee does it i guess

How much juice they use, how big they are, is irrelevant.

As long as whatever federation they are a pro requires them to have a physique worthy of a "bodybuilder" at any size, and is legit they should get some recognition.

However, that should probably be in its own section.

i never stand up for layne or anything like that.... but this has to be one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. have you ever seen laynes off season pics? he is f'ing massive and you can DEFINANTLY tell he lifts.

[MUSCULAR FREAK]

Cuz this is called the IFBB PRO BODYBUILDING section NOT the PRO BODYBUILDING section plain and simple.

[user128333334]

What do you want a ****ing red carpet each time you walk out of your doorstep everday

**** sake

Just get on with it and post on bb.com, stop whining

[Vinex]

Its just like people have been saying...Although naturals pro's are fantastic bodybuilders they just arent the top level. Another example : If we were in the NFL forum and college players were demanding a bold and avatar. Although fantastic players, not worthy of NFL standards.

I guess if you want a bold name and avatar, simple : Get on the juice!
