Frequently Asked Questions



Recommended Posts

Thanks! Let's use this thread to compile a complete list. Once it's completed, I'll convert the info into an official FAQ.

I really was hoping that I wouldn't need to write and compile the FAQ's myself. If everyone contributes just a few questions/answers, we can really get the ball rolling.

We are talking about it on the vets forum right now that's why I bumped it :)

I'm more of a wise cracking, once in a while dropping a pearl of wisdom type person myself

(Perfect for moderator wouldn't you say? :P)

But hopefully we can get this thing going.

Well let's stop talking about things and start doing! :P

If it were up to me I'd do away with the entire concept of moderators and moderation. I'd love to run my communities like reddit lol.

Well there goes my shameless attempt at power!!!

Ok I will bug the others that are sick of the "same old questions" to do something other than whining about it.

I have a request. Can the FAQ be curated by the veterans? There is a lot of misinformation (unintential I am sure) that gets bandied around by newbies. I think the FAQ should be trustable.

I'd like to help out with it even though I'm not a veteran. Where do you suggest that the list is compiled, Alex?

You know you're on my (very) short list if we ever do need more mods. I plan on adding roles that members can volunteer to fill once the new site is rolled out. Members could be part of welcoming committees, spam annihilators, topic editors (spelling, grammar etc.) and so on.

Thank you very much!

I agree whole heartily on this too!

I'm sorry due to business travel and a busy work schedule I haven't been on the site much and won't be in the future so I haven't been able to do this. It might be best for someone who frequents the site daily to comprise this list. Apologies.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
