Questions regarding the forum

[Giles]

A former editor here was soliciting for bodybuilding video content.
I volunteered, others were interested as well.
I bought a low light video camera perfect for filming contests, taught myself how to use it and looked into video editing software.
I then asked that editor ok, what are the plans for going forward with this.
Dead silence.

Same editor was indicating a need for occasional tagging during contests.
I volunteered, others were interested.
I followed up as to the status on this.
Dead silence.

I proposed once MD develop a local/ regional volunteer network for people to cover local/regional bodybuilding shows in their areas.
It would be cheaper coverage from a logistical perspective.
A lot of local promoters would love some coverage to get some butts in the seats.
Dead silence.

They have been inconstant here in the past as to areas they need to tighten up on related to volunteer management.
Long term volunteers here should be looked at like interns and developed/groomed and mentored for slots as contract employees.
Their skill sets should be tapped by MD and utilized in areas that would benefit the business.
That is an observation based on basic business principles.

We have lost here almost the entire Mod and FL volunteer group and that is a damn shame.
I miss those people.

I say give Jen a chance to rectify this Daibhi. You’ve done the right thing by airing your grievances, I can see only good coming from this now mate...

[Fella Finn]

i investigated as to why certain changes weren't made and as you've now noticed, Fella is a moderator with full moderation powers and Daibhi is an admin with full administrative powers.
Sorry for the time it took to get this sorted, but this will no longer be an issue going forward.

Cool, looks like I have now a lot more options available. Many thanks Jen! 🙏

Thank you, Giles.

Also, guys, as a side note - we do take all bodybuilding submissions seriously. If you do wish to submit an article, and or video content, you need to contact customerservice@musculardevelopment.com The submission will be review and then forwarded to the correct individual.
Several people on staff have come up through the forum, and we invite anyone to submit. We can't accept everyone's work but we can review it and see if it fits into our proposed editorial layout and online content.

Plus you are always welcome to participate in how we set up our shows and we are looking into ways to make you even more involved in the future.

[Fella Finn]

So Jen what's the plan as far as "remodeling" the forum section goes?

[Fella Finn]

Should we start writing down our ideas of what sections are going stay and what shall be "disposed of"?

[JAGiresi]

That would be fine. We’re looking at anything that hasn’t had any activity in a two year period.

So, what I've been thinking alongside removing certain areas is restructuring those certain sections as well.

If we'd start off with the MD Bodybuilding forums section what do you think should be added under that?

Personally, as it is titled as MD Bodybuilding Forums I'd like to have there at least:
No Bull, Training, Nutrition aaand masters + the member sections as well journals and galleries. That sarms section could be removed or moved somewhere else in my opinion.

I caught what you said earlier, Fella, and if you feel that these threads can have new life breathed into them by renaming the titles. That's fine.
I'm in agreement that the S'arms section can be removed.

As I said in the announcement, we're looking to prune any forums that have not been active for a period of two years.

Be carefull of the: "Too many chiefs, not enough Indians syndrome."

[King Shizzo]

I will add that I am absolutley in favor of keeping the forums updated and lively.

I always hate when people would blame the lack of updates and moderation, due to the forums "dying".

While online forums are obviously less popular these days, it is not an excuse to be lazy, or to give up all together.

It’s stickier than a first date this forum!

I’ve seen you mention it several times before so I’m not sure why they haven’t cleaned it up already.

Well being the most powerful being in the Universe I have considered doing a Thanos snap and making it happen that way, but I don’t like to abuse my cosmic powers.

They should be more for enticing a dozen wellness girls into my hot tub.

I know which one I’d choose.

I've decided that the stickies are too much even for 30 days. They will now have a shelf life of two weeks.
That should shorten them a bit more.
