What contradictory posts?
edit. Oh. Read back. I'm not spider chick. Spider monkey. Different species. I don't know who spider chick is. I don't hang out with fowl.
Spider Chick is an old Couch nutswinger from way back. She is 100% on the kool aid and certifiably insane. Spider Monkey is a different girl. Several of us know who she is. She's fine.
Apparently she and I are on the outs. I hate to even bring it up but apparently I missed the memo.

The staff at OlyAthlete is sad to announce that we are officially shutting down our site. Due to various different life demands and a cease and desist letter from the United State Olympic Committee we have decided that our best course is to dissolve OlyAthlete. We want to thank all of our friends, followers, and readers for supporting OlyAthlete over the past year. Its been a great experience for all of us, and we're thankful for the great friends and relationships we've made along the way. Below is contact info for each of the creators and contributor of this site. Thanks again to everyone, and keep moving those barbells fast!

They need to change their hosting and domain registration. Godaddy is a joke from what I am told on this front. You can use Olympic and Oly if you know how and where to go.

Or they could change domains, and redirect the old oly athlete to the new one.

Of course, shutting down your operation is an option too. A stupid one, but it's an option.

This is such complete crap if it's the reason they are shutting down. It's a fucking word. Now you can't use it in a domain name? Frickin' absolute crack of shit. Word police coming to get you! :axe: :axe: ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

the IOC and by extension the USOC doesn't fuck around when licencing dollars are on the line. If they don't get their tribute they will go after you like Armenian Mobsters, which in fact some of them may have once been.

Oh Budding, you perfect moron:
Tony Budding, on why we did not remove the photo:

1. We don't pull photos.

2. There is no REAL issue, as in no one was injured. Josh has a ton of experience with OH squats and determined that he could squat that weight with his baby. He was right.

3. Several members of the community are upset by the photo, and the record shows that. It is an educational experience for all if they choose to make it so.

4. We don't pull photos or sanitize reality. The photo was posted and people voiced their opinions.

Serious, Tony could open in Vegas with his blue act.

It wouldn't surprise me. I have an acquaintance I did some work for who got a C&D from Tracy Anderson because it was in the title of one of her blog posts, or so I was told. The context it was used in or something.

If they wanted out due to Kool-Aid burnout, why not spin off like Whole 9 or whatever that crazy bitch did? There's still plenty of cash for a ex-@F establishment. Once you get the hook in 'em, you just change the flavor and a junkie is still a junkie.

It's a little late now for them, but they could have still cashed those checks for a while would be my guess.

But they sure make a lot of posts disappear. This thread would be beyond 200 posts if the comments weren't "sanitized". Thankfully many have been preserved here and over at CA.

We need some new pics of Melissa Urban.

I have a strange thing for her, which is unusual b/c she looks like Olive Oil and I usually like my women plump and crying a bit.

Has anyone brought up the fact that the whole intent of the baby photo wasn't narcissism, but to get paid? How much is Reebok paying people who get pics with their logo up on the main page? I guess I could be wrong, maybe the giant Reebok banner in the background is just a coincidence.

Well, no good pics of Olive Oil on the net but I did find this chinaman. It'd be better if he were wearing a westside tshirt but oh well.

They weren't making any money off the site, at least not enough to pay a lawyer around $750 to write two or three letters back to them. This suit wouldn't go anywhere since "Oly" and "Olympic weightlifting" refer, in the public's eyes, to a sport or style of lifting. USOC just got pissed because Vaughn was involved, I suppose.
