Why don't you start a thread w/ a topic you are interested in talking about? I mean besides complaining about no one else doing it. I agree w/ you that there hasn't been much lately.

Disclamier: Don't take this as rude or mean. I'm being serious!

I have no idea how some of you have managed to rack up 1000's of posts, because frankly, i don't think i could even reach 2000 by the end of the year if i tried. Ahhhh, i could go on, but only about 3 people will read this, so i won't bother.

I think it's because school has started here.

And because I'm a boring twit.

I'm too busy with my dates....

I've been here for a year, I believe. It used to be that I've helped a lot of new people coming on the forum with questions. But now, I find that I rarely help posts. You people corrupted me!

But yeah, so like what sort of interesting topics do you have in mind?

Just log in, see if there is something interesting for you to comment on, or help with the things that you know and if there isn't any, log out...when there is someone like you posting a thread like this one, i'm sorry to tell you, i find it really disappointing. You see, there are a lot of people who are looking for forums like this one, people who really need some help, and comments like yours are not helping at all, especially when someone new is reading it. So i would keep this kind of comments to myself mate.

School started for me as well. I have a pretty busy and tough schedule so Ill try to get on and help out, instead of so much joking

However I have also been busy with website building and such.

Keep the forum rockin!

So, now that i make a thread about it, people start posting again. Some people i've never heard of even replied. So far, everyone that's come up with an excuse, i consider a regular member anyway. I mean, doesn't this place have like 20 000+ members? When i said "where is everyone?" it was more of a rhetorical question. Obviously, you can't account for the members that no longer post here

61,522 are spending their time in the gym while the other 1237 are on the computer.

Probably most of the active members are new members just checking this site out.

I'm just having a bit of a break from the place, had enough of the BS posts and 'Brad Pitt' wannabe's so need recharging time before returning properly.

I just come on for 5 minutes in the morning before work to see if Chillen has posted those leg pics he promised about a month ago and when I see he hasn't I get back to work

Likewise, I dont want to step on any toes but people probably come on here and see such threads as the B.S thread and decide its not the forum for them. Theres not enough about actual weight lifting on here.

I ONLY TAKE SO MANY HOWS MY ROUTINE THREADS!

**tonymcclellan** · Sep. 05/08, 03:51 AM

Brad Pitt is the physique GOD!!!

Probably good that they left then if they are only looking at the lounge section.

I've been busy doing things. The political thread just sucked me back in though. I agree, there aren't as many interesting threads as there used to be.

DEF · Sep. 05/08, 10:08 AM

I've decided to try out lurking. So far, it's working pretty well.
