[XelNya]

Only if we get a subforum devoted strictly to Tacos.

[Kekeb]

yes

[kmay]

idk i feel like the fitness thread is really only the same few people posting...

[Reincarnate]

I don't think that would end up being the case, necessarily -- for a variety of reasons I'm too lazy to get into at the moment

I ran to burger king once

I don't really think there is enough action to merit a section in itself just yet.

There's no reason not to open up a fitness subforum, IMO. What's the downside?

I think there's just as much action in the Fitness thread to justify a subforum as there was action to justify an AMA subforum or a Radio subforum or a Birthday subforum, etc. If anything, the argument can be made that opening up such a subforum would help encourage more action/activity.

You could have threads dedicated to completely different topics which, by themselves, are very info/discussion-dense. You could talk endlessly about any of the following subjects: Nutrition, running, weightlifting, cooking, routines, exercises (hell you could have an entire thread dedicated to squats alone), form checks, scientific literature, home gyms, progress pics, supplements, cutting, bulking, social threads, psych/motivation threads, threads for noobs just starting out, whatever. I literally wrote all that down almost as fast as I could type, without stopping -- there's so much to talk about and it's hard to compress all of that in one thread.

Such a subforum could actually have some real, positive impact in people's lives, too.

Don't forget form checks.

who would use it

btw I burned 1133213131 calories today FCing vROFL \o/

but yeah just make a skype group or something ?
edit: I mean, for now you should try that. I'm not opposed to the idea lol

[Spenner]

Want a fitness subforum? Give us a food subforum too. And a sexuality subforum. And other stuff.

But really there could be more shit in the section with sports and AMA and all that. We should utilize the space because it doesn't clutter the front page or anything.

you're right. the weight of a forum going unused is too much to bear. like, at the moment, the spin it up forum's inactivity is actively preventing me from posting this message. see?

[Arch0wl]

all of spenner's subforum ideas sound nice. if there is a sexuality subforum the moderator better not be someone incredibly awkward about sex

actually, if you think sports and fitness are the same thing I can't tell which you're extremely ignorant of but it's one of the two and it's extensive

no need to get passive aggressive. It was a legit question. Who would use it? If there's enough people the admins will open it up. D'oy~

The sexuality subforum is the sex thread in the garbage bin. Age issues, content issues. A subforum about questions of sexuality is going to turn pretty awful very quickly.

There is nothing about my post implying sports and fitness are the same thing lmao, they would be separate subforums, I'm just saying that if there's already a sports one in a section with an AMA one too, fitness would fit in there perfectly fine, same with a food one, and something else. Would be a nice use of the space in that section of the forum.

Sexuality doesn't have to be overly lewd and GBin material entirely.

My first post was in a somewhat ironic tone simply because of the gateway of adding one subforum but not another slightly relevelt/on the same level subforum, idk. Either way, the idea has potential. But tbh I was going to edit my post to change sexuality to masturbation subforum so that the irony would be that much more blatant. Take the non-edit post as it is~
