i like the old board

BL.. an easier way to post

BL...

Use Quick Reply. You can stay on the same page of the thread and note anything that you want to say while still being able to access the thread information. For any post, click on the pagelike icon between the icons "edit" and "reply." It will activate the Quick Reply box at the bottom and that is that. Much easier and quicker. You have to remember the smileys though and put them in yourself :) :D :)
 
jewel you're the best that so much easier! i just gave you a good rap on your reputation! hehe :p

Let me second the thread title. I, too, like the old board. The non-typical user interface was the best part. Now I may as well start hanging out on all the boards.
 
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. :rolleyes:

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.

You are correct in many of your assertions. I do have to say that Meso is the best.

It's true, Max, the new setup isn't that bad. It's similar to ASN, where I also spend my time, and an MMA board I visit, so I'm used to it. However, I really miss the old part where things were literally threaded. Sure, I can use the hybrid system on this board, but just scrolling through the posts makes a given thread look highly unorganized.

You're also right about the activity. Sometimes I'll post over at ASN and nothing happens forever. The extra traffic certainly is nice.
 
MaxRep,

This board has spirit. I'm a newbie and appreciate the 'almost anything goes' freedom. The new BB software is soooo much better. Finally, I checked out the pictures board and laughed out loud a few times. Nothing mean just funny.
 
yup jewel's right, the quick reply is the best way to reply without quoting the preceeding post, but even if you press the normal reply button, you can delete the preceeding post before typing yours.
 
as much as i think thie new board sucks i love all you monkey cum bubble blowers..

i agree max - this place is the best when it come to responces..
