Gymnastics blogs are normally one main voice, with one point of view.
Sure they have comments. And contributors. But on this blog, for example, you’ll find some very consistent themes if you assess the many hundreds of posts. If you like those themes, you might return to this site. If you don’t, you’ll be gone.
Forums are entirely different. That’s where people can go to brainstorm. To rant. To share. To flame. To have a conversation on different threads.
If you’ve never lurked or participated, check out one of these:
The Couch Gymnast blog recently shared some love with IG Online:
What I love most about the International Gymnast Online forum- aside from the fact that a lot of these people who frequent the forum seriously know their @#$%-is how frank and funny they are in giving their opinions. Here are some of my favorite funny-slash-brutally-honest moments in recent discussions. …
It’s true there are some amazing people on the IG Forum, Senor Nico, for example. I wish Senor Nico would start up a blog. Unfortunately I cannot subscribe only to Senor Nico comments. (Many of the other forum commenters are not nearly so smart and humorous.)
It’s easy to waste time on a forum. Waiting for the odd comment by Senor Nico.
One more complaint about the IG Forum: It’s got more comment spam than any other right now.

Why can’t they fix that problem?

Hi,
I am currently in the process of a developing a pre-school gymnastics programme and would love if anyone could provide any suggestions for music to help warm-up or cool down.
Thank you!
