Tons of great ideas in this thread everyone, excellent job!
And I don't know if I said this yesterday in my rant or not (if I didn't I'm sorry ...) but a huge shoutout and thank you to Ray for starting this thread and getting the thought train rolling. I know he's just as passionate about this site as I am and many others, so definitely a big THANK YOU to him.

A lot of forum and supp stuff has been covered. But how about more action with contests and coverage. Powerlifting and Crossfit are getting big and bodybuilding contests are still there. Get some coverage tie ins with those events and integrate it with the forums. When I am trying to get info for bodybuilding contests I go to the NPC websites. They suck. It's hard to get much useful information out of it.
People don't come here for bodybuilding contests and information. Powerlifting contest information isn't here. Crossfit contest information isn't here. Some people here may not think highly of it, but this stuff does exist, have large followings, and for a website trying to be the center of it all, I think it should be here.

Completely agree, excellent post! I know when I was competing (in both Powerlifting and Bodybuilding) I used to have to search high and low on the internet for various meets and contests. Mostly, like you said, going directly to the USA Powerlifting site, IPA, NABBA, NPC, etc. It was a pain in the butt.
Now I find out about 99% of shows and guest appearances by Insta or ********. They advertise well on there. But the same could be done here, just have a clickable map of the United States (or other countries) and people could click on their State, what kind of contest and BOOM ... have them listed with a link to the promotions website for more information on that particular contest.

Another idea:
Have bodybuilding.com articles in the forum. Stuff gets posted on the main site all over the place. There are some articles I don't see for years. It pops up as a relevant ad on ********, I open it, and it's from 5 years ago.
There may be an interesting article that is written but I can't find it, or know about it, when its posted to bodybuilding.com/nutrition/fun/articles/DontLookHere/NoArticlesHere/articles

I browsed this thread briefly and most of us have the same issues/complaints/improvements, but I'll add to it.
1. The search feature has been absolutely worthless for quite sometime now.
2. Anything other than the desktop version (on a laptop/PC) you really can't use. Load times, banners, etc make it very frustrating. With technology advancing to Smart Phones, Tablets, etc this should be a priority.
3. Just getting to the forums is difficult now. Go to the main website > community > forums, etc.
4. From a rep perspective, the default age/location, etc should not be predetermined. That should be a required field.
5. Posting images is much harder now, offer some image hosting. People want to see products/mixability, and want to include them in their logs/reviews.

You guessed it. Even though it kinda is...it will help the ALL SUUP forums by improving the overall forum base.
Haha...not sure it'd work now. HQ has ruled and forced Mikey to do as they ask (even though I have been in contact with bbcom forum folks)

I'm going to move this back to the supplement section but it has to stay on topic (hence one of the reasons they wanted it moved) it started out fine then certain members had to derail it as they do ALL threads that start out good and end up ruining it for everyone involved, taking potshots at each other and stirring up the same old drama that never seems to end, I had hoped 2018 would be different but yeah wishful thinking around here. If this thread goes off tracks again it's moved for good. Follow the rules and stay on topic.
