Typical sourball behavior on their parts.  Angry

It reminds me of how all too often the so-called "fans" of FBBing will react when a FBBr tries to interact on a forum.  Initially, they're overwhelmed and overjoyed, but invariably someone(s) get irritated and jealous that they're not the center of attention of the FBBr.  So they become hostile and eventually drive them off.

Just takes one or two or a few nasty noisy negativists to ruin it for the majority who never would act that way in the real world, or on-line.

And some wonder why FBBrs prefer to interact on "safe" forums like Muscle Mayhem.  Well, you've seen an grand example of it in action.

Well, looks like some nice guys at UnRealMuscle got their way with these guys.  Angry

From the movie's website...

CASTING IS CLOSED.

Due to the extraordinary amount of negative backlash from announcing our casting call, we have changed the direction of our anticipated ending for Quantum Leap.  This concept, (which I presumed to be a great and fun way to end the show), gave me a unique insight into a gloomy distrust and fear the realm of female bodybuilding has for anything outside their circle of trust.

RACSO Motion Pictures prides itself on its 15-year history of providing entertaining and thought provoking material, and because of our (what I thought was straightforward) casting call, my production company and I has been the target of several threatening e-mails, false and veiled attacks as to our intentions, accusing RACSO and myself there was more to our casting call than admitted.

Nothing could have been further from the truth.  My apologies to those who were introduced to our production company in such a negative light. 

Due to this overwhelmingly negative reaction, this is not a direction we believe worth pursuing at this time.

At one time, I was a member over at Unreal.  I left because I couldn't express my views without being criticisd heavily.  I started to find certain members insulting me, so I left.  Unfortunately, it seems we are the only non-industry forum dealing with this issue that tries to keep decency and rational behaviour a priority.

WOW, what a forum, what a forum!  First I realized they're bringing back Quantum Leap!?  And that he will leap into a FBB!?  Only to be taken away from us Sad  I don't know whether to be disappointed at society or still be in shock over what I just read.  WTF INDEED

What, is this a joke? Since when did production companies make decisions based on forum discussion and emails? No production can please everyone, and offend no one, so why the hell would you try?

It's hilarious because the stakes are so small - a few seconds at the end of an episode - and yet the schmoe screw-ups still managed to be become so unhinged that they destroyed it.  It's typical.
