Okay you experienced, I have looked through the posts and it seems that a lot of people's questions are not being answered. I, myself, don't feel as though I am getting the answers to the questions I need here as a beginner. I just don't want the site to become a turn-off to new members or those who are in the beginning stages here.

will do our best in answering all your questions erin4ever1990...I think the prob is that there's like a lot of messages and so little time to look each 1 at a time

I agree that most of the beginner questions can be answered in other parts of the site. People just want to ask and get it answered without puttin effort into it. (im not pointing fingers at anyone though) The really old questions are like "what kind of creatine and how much do i use?" "what supps are good to take?" We can all agree that these "common" questions do get old, Whenever i answer one of these ill tell them what i think of them and to do some research on it themselves. because everybody needs different things. No hard feelings to anybody though, its O.K. -snow

You must understand that the messageboard is only a very small part of FT. Most people ask questions which can be answered from the navigation menu on the left. Not everyone that logs on uses the messageboard but utilizes the Training programs and Nutrition Center. I may go a week before I visit the messageboard just to see what's being said and may post a few messages; by no means should anyone be held responsable for not posting. However, make your post and I'm sure someone will respond but if your looking for 20 - 30 replies forget it because it is not going to happen. Hang in there.

I must agree 100% with tt_rocker as well as billk.

It can be seen that the message board is growing.. but hasn't yet reached it's potential by any means - this will come with time. However, as you scan the posts, you will notice that VERY rarely is there a question with 0 replies.

We all try our very best to help out our fellow members.
