My favorite spotter

Did you have it saved somewhere? I don't have links to MFW threads. I
always felt the writing here was ephemeral despite the existance of all
the archives. I know I'm deluded.

BTW, did you HAVE to start a thread about MFW being dead in recomp?
This is practically a weekly thread topic here, but it's so inane that
it really doesn't need to spread, IMO.

So what? The bodyrecomp forum is dying in the core areas for which it
was created. The stupid training log forums and the off-topic forums
are now the main draw, and most of the other stuff has been
over-extended, particularly the "Nerdshit" forum. There, too, I've
noticed a growing absence of people who really know what they're
talking about.

It's on the MFW website. The third one down:

But it is dead. I'm about to go out and rig up a "basket" for Buddy
to ride in on my ATV. After that, I plan on going back to rarely
posting again. I figured I'd beat the [censored] out of some of the idiots
who've wrecked MFW before I dropped back out.

Viewership is way down also. One only need to look at who's online to
see that.

Good luck with that. It doesn't die because it's just so easy to pop
back. Trolls come and go. To quote a comic strip today, this isn't a
genre, it's a medium.

I went looking for yahoo groups. Nothing, absolutely nothing, had the
culture of usenet. MFW is a corner pub decorated with powerlifting
trophies, guns and dog pictures. There's a framed photo of Bush
decorated with a few American flags. Pimply-faced pumped up kids with
bulging shorts don't get hassled, but yuppies with bowflexes will leave
quickly.

The pub isn't going to die just because you don't visit it for a while.

Pissing off trolls. Well, good luck with that.

My favorite spotter is my mom. She spots those brown stains in the
rear, and yellow ones up front, then uses bleach on my undies.

Pretty much. You forgot to mention the guys who are always drawing
moustaches and devil horns on the photo of Bush. You also forgot to
mention a few bodybuilding photos and the whey and creatine behind the
bar.

That's true. I consistently see lots of people come back to visit,
and some will stay for a while, depending on the environment. I think
that those who fled to web forums are already becoming disenchanted
with that environment. Time will tell.

Such a friggin' loss that will be.

And I'll bet that "beat the [censored] out of some of the idiots" is a
eumphemism John Hanson likes to use for "have my hat handed to me and
be made to look like complete ass."

Well, looks like you're missing that opportunity as you're spending so
much time interacting with me. Am I one of the /idiots who've wrecked
MFW/?

As a relative newcomer (thanks for the encouragement, mica!) to MFW,
I'd say I have had no part in /wreck/ing this ng.

Regardless, I agree that it's time you "dropped back out." Say, isn't
that something a loser would say?

Yup.
