Grizz, come on, be serious. The changes here will become second nature within one week.
As far as other boards, most have 1/2 as much activity as we have, at best. I'm familiar with half a dozen other boards and at most of them, post something in the morning and you're lucky to have 1 response by the end of the day. On other boards, I've posted interesting things about such hot topics as IGF-1 with Insulin and it took a full day to get 1 response.
Such tremendous activity really goes a long way toward a dialogue and building up that feeling of brotherhood we have here on Meso.
And then of course we have the classifieds and all that crazyness. But, even for those of us who don't spend much time there, I'll bet it's where almost all of us go for our sources. I believe the policy at many boards is that if you even ask for or about a source, you can be banned.
And then there's the polictically correct attitude that permeates many boards. And at some boards, you will be banned if you say anything negative about a board sponsor. I know that for a fact because it's happened to me. You have to walk on eggshells at some of these boards because say what you think about a sponsors product and the next thing you know, you're taken to a special banned forum when you go to log in.
Don't forget those boards with their psuedo gurus and their incredible egos. Point out a flaw in their advice and be prepared to get flamed to high hell.
I can honestly and easily say that for a wide variety of reasons, Meso is the best board on the net. For those of you who don't believe me, go say some politically incorrect things on another board and while you're at it, tell them you don't like their board setup. See what happens and then you may come to appreciate Meso a little more.
