Why does Meso hate on SST so badly? I mean they say a ton of these accounts are shills, but I honestly spent like 10 hours broken up into different times just to look at people's activity who have accounts on here, and most seem like legitimate people. I get there are some discrepancies too tho...
I mean, dude aren't we all in this together, trying to get jacked while finding credible sources? Like I'm all for calling out a source that has some discrepancies, cause we don't wanna be ripped off, or put some fucked up gear into our bodies..
Why do we have to be so divided? Gets me wondering what the agendas are..

It's human nature. There's the Ford vs Dodge vs Chevy truck guys... but they're all trucks. Same thing with sport teams. Yet it's not like they're getting paid by any of these products. Everyone wants to feel like they're on the winning team, but don't realize we're all looking for the same thing. Quality gear at affordable prices.

Yeah.. still just don't get it. I guess I just gotta be a lurker 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's funny they say most on here are shills because most over there now genuinely are.
I've never seen any posts on here deleted or censored.
I don't believe anyone here has been banned for calling out a source but I know for a fact they've done it on meso
There's sources over there that are protected.
Meso used to be uncensored it's shit now.
I don't understand the us vs them mentality. I just love bodybuilding, training, nutrition, and the supplement side of it.
I've been on forums since I was pretty young going back to muscle mayhem and even the old aol bodybuilding chat rooms.


Here's a cool piece of history.

Been on here for a little bit and haven't run into any censorship. You have to admit some on here get very emotionally invested in their vendors. But to be fair happens on meso as well.

I have had great success with all the sources I’ve used from both boards. And have used several from each board. There are still some good guys and good discussion on Meso. I actually spend most of my gear related forum reading on Meso.

IMO, ownership and censorship is important to me regarding my forum usage. I don’t believe I have ever been censored or muted on either Meso and here. And I’ve said some fairly bold statements on both.

promuscle is highly scrutinized and very strict. It’s like the owner couldn’t be anymore of censoring, liberal fella that will allow political talk and Covid coverage that he was ok with and not the other side. Despite both being supposedly against the rules. Promuscle had so much potential but the owner and mods have basically pushed out all the members that were pro gun, pro Christian, pro freedom, anti-vax over the last 4-5 years so that place can suck a lemon for all I care.

UGBodybuilding is a little more allowing of political and vaccine talk but it’s just a super boring board and terrible if you are looking for a new source to try. Plus the mods are nerds. But at least the owner seems to allow better discourse from both sides. It’s just boring and not super fun or informative.

I actually like ASF too. Many freedoms are allowed there and there seems to be a good mix of old gear heads and newbs wanting to learn how to do things safely and properly. I really like that board, actually. But there’s something about the actual platform idc for. Hard to pinpoint but I think it’s a software thing that makes it not my favorite.

Anyways, Meso is very well run and there are still some heavyweight members from yesteryear that lurk in the shadows there and only occasionally post. I also like this board because of the quality sources I’ve found here as well as I don’t feel like I’m going to be banned and censored if I say something pro Trump or pro America, freedom, gun, whatever…. Both here and Meso are good and probably my two favorites.

I was sad to see they shut down the bodybuilding.com forums recently. 15-20 years ago the Misc on bb.com was pure gold. Probably liberal censorship that ruined it too but idk for sure. Could have been too many lawsuits too lol. It was awesome back then. Like playing Russian roulette every time you logged on and perused the miscellaneous subforum.

Heard something the other day.

In the vast amount of time the universe has existed and in our tiny itty bitty speck we get to exist in that time frame.
We all just so happen to exist together at the same time. So get along and spread love not hate.

This is it. This is our crew we get, work together or fail together.

I theorize with Meso it's some level of paid shilling leading to general indoctrination of useful idiots. You get a couple accounts with old join dates and high post counts to start bashing another site, newbies join in and over time the newbies see the previous newbies who have been brainwashed are spreading the same anti-other forums messages and it repeats for free over and over. Why would someone want to do this? Business. If I own a burger restaurant I will pay for all my own advertising, and also pay for people to go out and tell others that the burgers at other restaurants are disgusting or their building is infested with bugs. Now more people come to my burger shop, I make more money. All about the money baby.

In the final analysis, some people are too stupid. They don't have enough vision and don't look at problems with the philosophy of development and connection. They think that if they attack others, their performance will improve. Little do they know that other people's customers will think that the one who attacks is a villain. Everyone has a group of loyal customers. Think about the catering food industry. If everyone attacks each other's food for being unclean, unhygienic, and unhealthy, consumers will be disappointed with the entire catering business over time. They will eat less and choose to cook at home. Of course, we can't cover up the facts for the prosperity of the entire industry. The only thing we have to do is to seek truth from facts and maintain integrity. When you start to respect your opponents, it means that you will have a qualitative improvement in the near future.

Not attacking here. But does infinity have any product testing?
