Well, I'm going to make a summary and I think I'll leave you to discuss it because I'm not going to give it any more thought.

Interestingly, as far as I can remember, this is the thread that is getting the most pages per day of all the threads I have written, so there must be a reason for that.
Here the issue is that the thread clearly does not belong in that section and as soon as I explained the reasons, the whiners came to protest for reasons that have nothing to do with what I explain, such as:

1) But it's a funny thread, you don't get the joke, party pooper.
2) It's a thread that helps people's health.

And my answer is that those two things can, or rather, should be done off topic. My guess is that if it hasn't moved it's mainly because of the controversy, and who the OP is.

The thread is about pushups, so who gives any shits about the other aspects of physical fitness that you are mentioning.. Sure some of those kinds of ideas have come up in the thread in the last 8.5 months, yet many times members attempt to mostly redirect our discussion towards pushups, so if there is some desire to create a topic about some other kind of exercise, physical fitness or whatever, else then so be it.  We largely just focus on pushups in that thread with merely some incidental mentioning of some other topics that might relate to other exercises, the advantages disadvantages or resistance exercises versus cardio or perhaps some sideline discussions of nutrition and/or sleep.. but still mostly pushups and our hoping that bitcoin prices go to $100k sooner or later, remains as most of the focus of that particular thread discussion.

Those of you who talk about push ups don't have a clue. As I said, doing 100 push-ups a day is stupid. What's even more stupid is to have a thread where they report, and there is no way to check that what they report is true, when many of those who participate wear a paid signature. Do you want to do push-ups? Better use this:

https://www.100pushups.net/

This programme, instead of doing the bullshit 100 push ups a day, trains you to be able to do them. You do a set of push ups right now and you can only do 7 in a row? The programme teaches you how to get to 100:

1. It doesn't do the stupidity of training every day. Resting is just as important or more important than training for fitness.
2. Increase the workload progressively.

It seems that I know more about fitness than all of you who say you do push ups in this thread and, yes, I can assure you that doing 100 push ups a day is very stupid.

And to have whiners on here saying it's going to affect their health negatively to have the thread moved to off topic when it's only focused on pushups is really stupid. The supposed improvement from doing 100 pushups a day, if any, is very limited.

1) It's only anaerobic exercise (maybe a little aerobic if you do them in a row).
2) It doesn't increase workload.
3) It does not rest the muscles (essential).
4) It only works a specific part of the body.

If that is the essence of your dispute, then has such question been presented to administrators and if they decided not to move it, then what is the problem with the thread?

And what's the problem with having this thread in Meta that questions the administrators haven't moved it (yet?). This part of the forum is precisely for these things.

People need to stop taking random ideas on the Internet too literally. OgNasty thought of doing pushups and encouraged everyone to follow him. To me, that's fun and healthy, because it creates an environment of patience and discipline, while it keeps a fun character.
What people have to stop thinking about is that this thread is fit for Speculation.

You have some kind of a proclamation about what other members need to "stop" thinking about?  

If you read the quote I quote, what I am doing is paraphrasing BlackHatCoiner.

The stupidest thread on Bitcointalk is probably this one. Why are you crying in Meta for a thread that has nothing to do with you?
Some people are really weird. If you are too lazy to get your ass off the couch and do push-ups, that's your problem; but don't try to stop someone else.

Hahahahaha

That is a decently good point.

No, it's not because someone who works for the forum knows that this thread does not belong in that section and the whiners are rather those of you who have come here to cry about the possibility of the thread being moved. EFS is another one like OG, who thinks the only way to exercise is to do the bullshit 100 push ups a day, and no, I have been exercising for many years and not that bullshit.

OP Don Pedro had proposed 100 farts as a substitute for pushups. .which he probably did not even end up doing.. .. which is really literally and figuratively poo pooing the ideas and practices of daily pushups.

Not as a substitute, but rather to counterbalance the negative effect you have on the price. And yes, JJG, in the OP itself is the supposed relationship that this is going to have on the price, which you could say is a joke. Whether it's serious or a joke is just as serious or just as much of a joke as saying that fart is going to have an effect on the price.

Regarding your number 3, you seem to be a wee bit presumptuous in regards to the thread being moved.  

Not presumptuous, it is a thing that is very clear from what has already been exposed and if it does not move is because of the controversy, come on, a thread where people talk about nutrition before putting the report of push ups as I have put in the previous quotes do not have to be very smart to see that it does not belong to that section.

because of your whining and the whining of a few of your supporters,

I am sorry. Whining? You are the whiners, you are the ones who never stop crying here. When I opened the thread I didn't imagine that it could have this repercussion and it has been because of all the whiners who are very worried about the possibility of it being moved to off topic because it seems that you can't have fun there or that it will negatively affect your health.
