It's that way for lots of the forums. Like, there's been a Game of Thrones discussion thread in GBS and TV/IV and Book Barn and GiP and FYAD and probably YOSPOS and BYOB and PYF.

Actually let me reframe it in terms of a forum instead: I'm going to pick on YOSPOS for example because the mods there have done a good job in improving this. When the funny computer forum has megathreads for Game of Thrones, working out, favorite music, Diablo 3, bitcoin, politics, general chat, and loving cat picture spam, well then it's not a focused subforum anymore, it's a general forum that happens to have a few more computer threads than other general forums. Why do we even have subforums if that's what they're going to be?

This isn't necessarily bad (from a user's perspective it's fine), but it makes things a lot harder to organize, administrate, and moderate. Each subforum acts like an offsite that happens to be hosted onsite, and I don't want to administrate a dozen slightly different general forums, I want to administrate one forum: Something Awful. When you pay $10 for an account, it shouldn't be admission to one subforum of your choice where you camp out forever and never leave (unless you really are only interested in posting about that specific topic, that's fine too). Instead, your account grants you access to all of the SA Forums. Use them!

And of course there's some overlap; I'm not demanding that every topic be strictly categorized and indexed. Rather, I'm asking, on a case by case basis (and this thread happens to be such a case): "Does it make sense for this topic to be duplicated in another forum, in this case GBS? Or does it belong in the dedicated subforum, in this case YLLS?" There's no hard and fast criterion for making that decision, but that's what I'm asking about. Hope that helps explain where I'm coming from.

I'm assuming just about everyone here wears headphones or buds while working out. Anyone have any testimonials on brands they like? I got one of those Sol Republic wireless Bluetooth ear buds, now on Amazon but used to be an best buy exclusive.

They sounded great but over a few months it seems the Bluetooth is crapping out. When I turn my head to the side and it rubs against them it would cut out. And now just walking normally they keep making a loud popping/static noise and are pretty much useless now... Thankfully I got the $15 2yr warranty, now just got to decide which brand I'll go with next.

The Jaybird bluebuds x have been around for a while now and have decent reviews. I just can't imagine using those bulky over ear cans everyone seems to be switching to. I sweat like a mofo and have no desire dealing with swamp rear end but for my ears...

None of this is true?

Get unflavored creatine and it doesn't change the taste of anything. I mix mine with water, and it tastes like water.

It doesn't make your face puffy. Anyone who claims it made them gain water weight, or lose muscle definition, is probably just lazy and actually gained weight. It helps pump and muscle size. It's like the one real, legit supplement available legally.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC155510/?tool=pmcentrez

"The gains in body mass observed are likely due to water retention during supplementation. Creatine is an osmotically active substance. Thus, any increase in the body's Cr content should result in increased water retention and consequent gains in body mass.2,8 For example, 1 subject in the present study, who reported having a fairly consistent body mass throughout the previous year, experienced a 4.8-kg increase in body mass during the first week of supplementation, 90% of which was accounted for by the increase in TBW."
