BellyBuilders is all about guys with guts - the battle for the bulge and the appreciation thereof. Gainers, encouragers, BHMs (Big Husky/Hunky Males) and their admirers are welcome be they straight, bisexual, gay or unwilling to put themselves in a box in this regard, with the focus being on the growing male form. Here small guys on their way, big guys, and the big guys going further all come together to talk about their endeavours with one another and those who appreciate their efforts. Occasionally discussion will go into inflation and other waistline enhancing pursuits.
Bellybuilders is supported by its members through voluntary donations of content and money - it is these voluntary contributions that keep the site going and make it what it is today.
To use this site, you must agree to the terms and conditions, the most important being that this site is intended for an adult audience and the minimum age for participation is 18 years of age.

Messageboard
If you're having troubles with the messageboard, some of the following points may assist:
- After logging in I see the page I was looking at, but visiting any of the links on that page logs me out again.
Make sure you haven't disabled cookies from the bellybuilders.com domain- I didn't receive my activation/password recovery/thread notification etc. emails
Are you using AOL? Do you have mail filtering enabled? Make sure you're not blocking email from bellybuilders.com - this is a very common problem with AOL account holders - what's worse is I can't reply to you to tell you that you're blocking the mail (for obvious reasons). If you didn't receive the activation email, you'll need to get in touch with me ( messageboard on bellybuilders period com ) as it cannot be automatically regenerated, however password reminders can be re-requested generally speaking.
Unfortunately AOL makes it VERY easy to mark incoming emails as "spam", so much so that often emails from bellybuilders.com to aol.com addresses are blocked - it is recommended that where possible you do not sign up to the messageboard using an @aol.com email address - they're just too much trouble a lot of the time. Oh yes, and clicking the links in AOL emails often doesn't work - you have to manually copy and paste them.- Does your email address look dodgy?
With the increase in spammers, I manually review the membership system for addresses that look like spammers, website URLs that are clearly spammers, multiple registrations from a single domain all at once etc. etc. - I admit that sometimes I'm probably prone to false positives. If you can't log in, and once you could, it is possible that your account has been removed if something looks decidedly iffy.

The domain bellybuilders.com
I've received emails from Turkey and Brussels from organisations in places like the Ukraine asking if I'd like to sell my domain name - I'd like to state that the domain bellybuilders.com is NOT on the market at this time - the last thing I want to see is this domain becoming another one of those fake search results pages that keep challenging my position in google.
