The whole "rep" thing was what soured it for me.

All the good members got bought out by free supplements and became biased.

That was probably the beginning of the end. I was really soured when they sold out their members to a certain supplement company who in turn filed law suits against the members for writing less than favorable reviews of their products.

That was a bad deal. There was a surprising amount of drama on that board. I still enjoyed it when PA came to visit

Haha they don't mean much. It seems like BSN and all the other companies with big marketing budgets still do better than anyone else. I do like the number rating system for the supplements. Obviously take it with a grain of salt, but it is helpful.

He came back after, it seemed like he was constantly being banned for something or another. I loved how he would test for ingredients in products, but could never tell us what they were even when they could have been dangerous and/or were lying about what was in them. Meh I prefer SF over bb.com any day. (even though everyone here is afraid of squats

Fok - just curious, when does traffic begin to pick up usually? And are there times in the year when traffic peaks?

+1

I spent last night having dinner with a bunch of family members. It was at another person's house, some late Christmas presents were exchanged, and I got to see my niece.

Came back and saw that I missed out on a pair of Mabitex pants I really wanted.

Never again.
