**PEWN** · 08-09-2007, 04:21 PM

i guess better than source questions...

**Amorphic** · 08-09-2007, 04:21 PM

Thats what happens if you're a mod, vet, monitor. Even guys with high post counts that are just regular members get a ton of pms from noobs looking for source checks etc.

True.. Alot of my pm's are from nark , big kig aka bajan bastard but I do get pm's from members asking for advise. I dont get any pm's asking for sources ( which is good as I dont know any .. for real ) I really have 1039 pm's which is kinda strange I guess since my post count is only bout 1200 something..

**RBD85** · 08-09-2007, 04:54 PM

thats a lot of pms

**ebjack** · 08-09-2007, 05:06 PM

Nark used to give out some reallly good diet advice...some other, very good resources have left. I guess we always long for the "good old days"

I didn't want to check "getting worse" I wanted to check "used to be better" but it is not an option.

**RBD85** · 08-09-2007, 05:12 PM

yeah thats why I didnt vote

**RBD85** · 08-09-2007, 05:13 PM

btw who is the chick in your avatar?

***Doc.Sust*** · 08-09-2007, 05:23 PM

well it seems like it is almost 50/50

**PEWN** · 08-09-2007, 05:38 PM

mmm...its a close one ...

**RBD85** · 08-09-2007, 06:03 PM

I demand my question to be answered

**PEWN** · 08-09-2007, 06:05 PM

you would demand...

**RBD85** · 08-09-2007, 06:08 PM

(checks in to see if demand was answered, see's pewns worthless post... ponders.... frowns and leaves thread)

I wear my heart on my sleeve, so I'll start:

I feel that the quality of advice has gone down a little. I think this is because:

The number of newbies has gone up in proportion to the number of experienced members
There are less experienced members
The same old questions are coming up again and again (so people get tired of giving out the same answers)

That said - I aint leaving this site. Still some hardcore good fellas around and that's why I stay.

Newbies will always ask the same questions and I will always try and answer them. We were all in the same boat at some time and searching isnt that easy when you are new here.

Exactly....I try to have patience with them, but it gets hard when you get the younger ones that dont' get the answer they were looking for and try to justify their AAS use.....I get a little harsh with them.....

Is there an agenda here bud?The bottom line is your bitching and complaining about the same shit,are you worried about noobs getting bad advice or the quality of the board as awhole.All things change for the better or for the worse that's just life.If I sound like a dik I apoligize but this is negative bullshit and frankly it's getting old.The biggest killer of all things is negativity.This might be the lounge but it's sounds more like a place your using to shit to on AR.And for the record people have been asking the same shit since i joined this site.If everybody knew everything there would be no use for sites like this.

GREAT POINT!!!

If you want to go see a forum that has gone down the shit pipe (no offense to anyone who still frequents it) go look at M E S O these days!

You can usually tell good advice from the bad one. I've seen newbies give good advice and long time members give sub-par ones although its mostly the other way around. Besides, what I like about this board is that if anyone ventures to give flawed advice, they will be quickly corrected (or flamed

) by people who know their stuff. It's like an automatic check and balances system that keeps everyone on their toes.
