Yes we're different, but better would be subjective, to some we are others, probably not. I know that some members prefer a smaller community like ours whereas other like the massive size of BB.com

Their board is almost 100% geared towards supplements, whereas here you can get very solid training and diet/nutrition advice, not sure what the knowledge level over there is in those areas.

**danzik17** · 04-24-2009, 06:40 PM

Smaller community and an amazing set of knowledgeable people.

Can't speak for others but close to 100% of what I know today about diet and training all came from these boards.

**Built** · 04-24-2009, 06:46 PM

I don't know how we're different. I have an account over there, but I only made it so I could advise their members of my friend twilomike's death - he was a member here too but he died last fall so he didn't have a chance to get established over here.

He had many friends over there, and I was the first point of contact from Mike's brother, so I was the one to inform the online BB communities.

I still miss him terribly.

**bricklayer85** · 04-24-2009, 07:27 PM

i'm sorry to hear of your friends passing. It seems as if this forum is tightly knit.

**nni** · 04-24-2009, 09:07 PM

bb.com is very political, especially if you are involved in a company. there are certain things that you simply cannot talk about. there are many companies that are selling junk or failing label claims, and as an insider i cannot discuss that as it would lead to lawsuits, but i cant even talk negatively about a product from a consumer's pov, which i am. this place is more open, although the discussions are very different.

**bricklayer85** · 04-24-2009, 09:36 PM

but dont they do reviews like BN

**nni** · 04-24-2009, 09:55 PM

im talking about the forum, being as this was a comparison of forums.

**Gazhole** · 04-25-2009, 04:30 AM

I prefer this place because there is a good mix of people here. On BB.com it literally is just Bodybuilding and all the nonsense that can come with that, but over here there's a lot of knowledgeable people who are into not just bodybuilding but nutrition, powerlifting, martial arts, general health, etc etc.

It may seem tightly knit, but there aren't really any "cliques" or whatever that word is. So long as new members are respectful, engage in discussions, and aren't complete jackasses they'll fit in fine, lol.

**Perdido** · 04-25-2009, 07:57 AM

I don't like big forums and all the drama. More down to earth like minded people here.

**Little Wing** · 04-25-2009, 10:44 AM

all their steroids are belong to us.

**nkira** · 04-25-2009, 12:28 PM

Well guess what, they don't have (not in specific order)
Prince
P-Funk
Built
Mudge
Gaz
Jodi
Merk
Iain Daniel
I Are Baboon
dg806
MtnBikerChk (Though I don't Know what Stealth Moderator Means),
Dale Mabry
Pirate!
CowPimp
GoPro
Tank316

I am hoping that I have covered most of the mods who keep IMF clean & running, (If I missed any mod - Sorry Guys n Gals!!)

Other than this I can post a list of non-mod members too.....but that will just be my personal choice.

Hell, if BB.com doesn't have the kind of people we have,Who want's to be there!!

IMF makes me feel at home & honestly look forward to logging in every day, IMF is IMF there's no point in comparing, we have our own style they have there's.

I think I have made my point here.

**ROID** · 04-25-2009, 12:32 PM

Ha, thats pretty clever.

**nni** · 04-25-2009, 02:32 PM

missed me.

they have me as a poster though, no mod. lots of crap is missed there.

**Built** · 04-25-2009, 02:49 PM

Don't forget nni - he's one of the first contacts I made when I joined here!

**largepkg** · 04-25-2009, 04:16 PM

When I first joined IMF I also joined BB. I visited both sites daily but got tired of the childish crap over at BB.

I learned that I didn't know shit, from this very site. I'm a much more informed lifter because of it. I have also never been injured while lifting thanks to help from these guys.

Now if they could only follow me on the B-ball court maybe I could've avoided those injuries as well.

**I Are Baboon** · 04-25-2009, 07:22 PM

We drink more beer. Well, I drink my share which is probably enough to outdrink bb.com.

**danzik17** · 04-25-2009, 09:45 PM

Ugh don't mention beer, I've been craving Guinness for like 4 months now

**nkira** · 04-26-2009, 12:10 AM

Sorry man......may be Built can edit my post add nni to it, what you say Built?

You should try the Irish stuff, they shit they sell in England and the US is nasty.

**Gazhole** · 04-26-2009, 01:12 PM

Fuck yes i'm 5th on the list. Time to start taking people out to be NUMBER ONE.

**Built** · 04-26-2009, 01:40 PM

Cool - you have to take out Mudge first. You'll be tired.

**Double D** · 04-26-2009, 03:24 PM

I was a mod on another board for about 2 years. I recently have left that board because the Admin has decided to try and gear it more towards things I don't believe in. One thing I can say for IM, is they don't change. Their views have always stayed the same, and that I respect though I don't agree all the time. I like the people here though.
