I dont see any other HoFers spending their time cleaning up the board other than him.

-shrug- time for some new staff i think

So what? Isn't it ones own responsibility to discern which posts are quality posts and which are not irrespective of the number of posts a person has made or the date they joined the site? And when in doubt keep researching, asking, etc until you come up with the quality info that you seek.

I mean there could be some guy who is a pro bodybuilder who joined the site 4 years ago and only has 10 posts. But his posts are probably gold. Then there are idiots talking out there ass all over the place. So what? It's good to be able to discern who is an idiot and who knows their shizat.

I can understand the concern that a newbie who doesn't know anything about steroids could be lead astray taking the advice of someone with 4K posts, but that's no way to assess the validity and quality of info. I took it for granted that everyone knows that.

I post a lot but it has nothing to do with 'trying to get a large number of posts'. This site just happens to be the primary site I read and post at now. A few months ago I read and posted at like 3 different sites so that level of activity has kind of consolidated itself here. I used to post quite a bit in a politics sub forum at a poker site because I used to be a part time semi-pro (albeit small stakes in the grand sceme of things) online poker player. The games dried up due to some changes in regulations the financial institutions have to go by now so most all of the live ones (aka fish) in the games have found other outlets to gamble away their money because it's less convenient to transfer funds into and out of poker sites now. So I quit that but continued to frequent the politics sub forum of that site for a few months afterwards.

Now, instead of studying poker and playing multiple tables on the internet simultaneously for 20hrs/week my new hobby/interest is improving my health and physical appearance. So I'm here a lot now. I post a lot, but I read a lot too. I'm here to learn and improve myself, not to try to pass myself off as someone whose advice should be listened to in the area of steroids. I do try to contribute info that I think is worthwhile where I can to do my part in contributing to the site but it's certainly not in dispensing advice about steroid use .

agree, if you spend enough time here you will come to know who knows their shit and who is talking out of their ass.. post count means nothing..

I hope you guys get your cut...

There are two types of newbs.

There's The Newb, which is everyone is, the beginner, the new kid on the block.

And then, there's THE NOOB. The guy that after 18 months and thousands of posts, still doesn't know zip.
