What Is Our RX Community Lacking?

Dave has stated that he wants to keep RX and Species separate. From that I gather that Species sponsored athletes are not RX sponsored athletes.

I guess you missed the Species ad on this page?

No, Dave owns both so the free advertising of Species makes sense.

Bring back the Whack Pack.... It can't totally be done. Derek is no longer with us and Jeff won't do it. Mr. G is probably in a VA psych ward by now and Bobby Smalls "the White Biggie Smalls " is no good without his brother. So, we're going to have to punt. Jimmy The Bull is funny to any age group. He cracked up my mom and dad and he cracked up my kids - (when they were old enough to listen). I'm sure we can put something together with whats left, Valentino too, and keep everybody in stitches. And we'll find someone to pay for it.

Community wise, we have to become cool again. A place where people want to come and join in the banter because it's cool. They want to come back... they want to make a name for themselves among the others. They want to make friends here..... So, I guess that's the deepest inquiry at this point, perhaps the hardest to face? Why aren't we cool anymore? What would make us attractive again?

I think bringing back Jimmy and adding Valentino is enough to rekindle the whack pack.

What about bringing back the purple color theme? Or maybe a newer updated version of the purple theme.

Making progress...

I spoke to one of Jimmy's buddies today and he said Jimmy was doing well. I passed on the message that Romano is back and the forum members are calling for a triumphant return of The Iron Bull for the Wack Pack.

Ahh.. where to begin?

Hopefully this wont fall on deaf ears, but i'll give it a go.

1) the pit. I've said it a hundred times but i'll say it again.. when the pit left so did a lot of members. Maybe not gigantic numbers, and maybe the pit wasn't the most sponsor friendly place (one sponsor), but the guys who regularly posted in the pit were VERY frequent users of this site and posted here daily. Those are the type of people you want posting here, like it or not.

2) the whole site has gone soft/half retarded. Half the threads in rxmuscle now are completely pointless and just a reason for someone to post a youtube song video. (you know who you are). We also need to cut back on all the white knights in here who are always getting their feelings hurt.

3) there are too many fucking subforums. Know why no one posts in off topic? It takes them a half hour to scroll down there.

4) heavy muscle radio is no longer heavy or about muscle. Do I really need to go into detail?

5) the forum needs polarizing characters. People who will create and carry on discussion. Few people can really get the ball rolling and keep it rolling but there are some good ones out there. PFA is NOT one of them.

- vince goodrum (like him or hate him he can get a thread to go on forever, and people find him funny.)
- A1
- Klaus
- Big Barry
- rocky (again like him or hate him, he has his moments lol).

6) you need to focus on social media more. It isn't enough to just go on the RX page and post links. You need people on that page. Bostin loyd style.

Name your top 5 or so sections.

What, Muscle Central, Off Topic, the pit, Training Journals, and Gym Memes?

**John Romano** · 10-02-2015, 02:21 AM

I definitely think we could consolidate a few things.

I agree with this,jimmy plus Gregg would make a good new wack pack,plus john as well and also find another young guy like we had with derek,pete the intern,and diego,its good to have the older guys like jimmy and Gregg etc plus a young guy that they can give some shit too,lol.its gives it a good chemistry.

**scott.b** · 10-02-2015, 03:38 AM

I also have to give props to john for coming in here and interacting with us to find a solution to the problems here.There hasn't been anyone in here for years that has come in and actually interacted with us to try and make things better and try and make the site as good as it once was,this site would be screwed if john didn't come back,i actually look forward to listening to heavy muscle radio again now that john is back on it,before john came back on it the show was pretty boring.Thank you john for rescuing the site and attempting to give us some more entertainment again.

This. Half the created posts are made by trolls, people with fake avatars, and people trying to promote free clients.
Thats not the notion of a message board, and another reason why a lot of members have left.

The Coverage on shows now and days is non-existant
Jr Nationals - NO coverage
North Americans - No Coverage

These are shows with over 1,500-1,700 competitors.....

But in any event, too old to troll anymore, I'm all about the business of bodybuilding nowadays. You need to find a new troll and he or she needs to be half my age.

One thing I need to touch on again....no more snitches and thieves need to be employed ever again. No one should try to be bigger than the company and if they do, they should get a free trip off that Staten Island bridge
