TweetI am a member of many boards, as all of you guys are too, and on most of the other boards there are always the top guys that know it all (not being smart, they really know what they are talking about) but they are so arrogant by the way the respond that it has turned many of my friends off from message boards. Newbies to boards are just that, newbies. On these other boards, it seems that if a newbie asks a question that is nothing hard (but he doesn't know or he wouldn't ask) he just gets bashed for it. I understand that one should search and read as much as possible and then ask questions, but it may be someone that doesn't use message boards much or may have just searched using the wrong criteria. What I am getting to is that these boards just seem so impersonal and while they are full of great information, they lack a lot of character, IMO.

All of this leads me to my point. This board is not like that. This board has all of the information, all of the same guys that know what they are doing, and it also has the character. You don't get the bashing around here and the feeling of being stupid or anything. That is great! You are free to ask any question you want and don't have to worry about being belittled by anyone. And it's a closer knit group as well....anyone on here will do all they can to help any other member at the drop of a hat. Now that is the way a board should be.

All this may be corny or whatever, but I just wanted to give Fitnessgeared some props...by far my favorite board!

TweetDouble those props.

Truth be said and as you mentioned above it is so important that, at a minimum, some research be done before posting. Even though there are "no stupid questions", consideration needs to be given for those who respond day in and day out without hesitation and gripe.

Tweetthis is the truth and why this is one of the few boards i visit anymore and the only fitness board that i really take a part in and do a fair amount of posting at.

Tweetagree, some other place i dont even post just cause people can be quite harsh for no reason.

TweetYep, I've been on this board since 2003 and I tried a few others for a couple years too. I felt the others just weren't as fun to hang around on and ditched them all. FG is the only fitness board I use anymore.
