This isn't a gung ho be pissy thread- so, please don't turn it into that.

Our community has lost a very knowledgeable and valuable member of the community.. Not physically, but he will no longer be posting.

But I'd like to just say thanks to Steve for everything he's done for me over the past few years he's been such a wealth of knowledge from nutrition, to training and it doesn't hurt that he's so easy on the eyes.

Thank you for all that you've done, and best of luck in all of your new endeavors!

Please feel free to add your thanks to Steve for all that he has done --like a farewell post!

Hes not gone. He has new name and hes still posting advice under it.

Whats his new name.. he had some great input.

His new name was banned too.

why was steve banned...he was awsome...he was one of the first people on here who helped me and saw me through things....hes a friend a true man

much love steve...your awsome

some one asnwer me before i start posting naked pictures of Chef

lmao, I don't even wanna know why you have naked pics of Chef.

Anyway, I'm sure he'll probably find a way to come back.

What happened???

That's a bummer, I really liked him.

i know!!! whats going on.. give us the low low!!! ohh please dont post nekkkids!

Geeze!! I have a lot of "ahh haa" moments when reading his posts... thats a shame. WE WANT STEVE!

lol, me too. I agree.

This is such a bunch of crap! I'm sure this is just an april fools joke. Banned my ass!!

unfortunately, this was done yesterday, not Apr 1st. I know he was a great addition to the forum, but I have had way too many complaints from valued members. I have forums that are 3-4x larger than this one and I receive less complaints in a year, in total, than I do on Steve alone in 1 month. As much of a valuable resource as he is, I cannot continue to deal with so many complaints.

So because you don't want to deal with some idiots complaining about blunt, but good advice, you ban him? Wow, that's such a good way to go about it.

If this is true, (and I'm still not convinced) I think you made a big mistake. There are far more people on here who like Steve than dislike him. I think he's done a lot of good for a lot of people--myself included. I would imagine many people will leave this forum if he's not around.
