How do you feel about newbs?

**rhino1** · 09-20-2008, 04:35 AM

what are your true feelings about newbs...???

**Kale** · 09-20-2008, 04:36 AM

This board wouldnt exist without newbies. And just remember we were all newbies once !!!!

**rhino1** · 09-20-2008, 04:39 AM

The wise kale chimes in....Yes you are absolutely right!

**STED** · 09-20-2008, 04:42 AM

Mixed view really. Its good to share your experiences with the newbs as we was all new once. But on the other hand it gets to me when they dont try and help themselves first by reading and researching. Sometimes i dont think you can beat hands on knowledge of things weve cycled and experienced! An to be honest i reckon even the most clued up people on here learn new things from others from time to time!

i think its a right of passage...either pay an exhorbant price, get nothing for a decent price or if we are really unluky pay an exhorbant price and still get nothing...

**GMD3019** · 09-20-2008, 05:09 AM

i am a newb and i can say u can learn alot from reading the answers to other newbs questions lol so it keeps me from asking my own but i do see how it can get a lil annoying seeing the same Q's over and over

**rhino1** · 09-20-2008, 05:11 AM

especially being that some of the really knowledgeable members have put together some really detailed threads with great information....and it constantly gets overlooked...but i can understand the impatience of a new member to find out their answer...

my dad is an elvis fan...he's been to graceland and all that crap...they have the same birthday...

**GMD3019** · 09-20-2008, 05:17 AM

i cant because honestly most members are here for info on roids and taking roids requires patience becuase before u even start ur cycle theres a whole bunch u have to do to get ready for it like diet steady routien and tons of research and so if they have patience with their research they will more than likely find their answer to their Q i mean i just finished my first cycle and i did at least a full year of research

**rhino1** · 09-20-2008, 05:26 AM

it was wise to research as much as possible...

**GMD3019** · 09-20-2008, 05:31 AM

im glad i did cus it really helped me find out what worked best for me and when the side effects happened i was already prepared

**rhino1** · 09-20-2008, 05:33 AM

how was your cycle...what did you do?

**GMD3019** · 09-20-2008, 05:41 AM

i really was impressed with the cycle let me first start off by saying im 21 i was 173 and was recovering from a severe head on the docs just had me loaded up on pain meds which i hated being on after not being able to work out except in physical therapy i decided to look in other ways of getting my body back to where it used to be so after my researching i got tren a and test e i did a 8 week cycle for the first two weeks i did 175mg of both on mon, wed, fri after the 2 weeks 175mg tren 250mg test e for remaining 6 weeks at the end of the cycle i was 205 since my cycle i have not had to take any pain meds at all

**LATS60** · 09-20-2008, 06:08 AM

I'm indifferent, you don't have to be a newb to ask stupid questions or give bad advice.
It's a lack of common sense that p155e5 me off, newb or not.

**free_spirit** · 09-20-2008, 07:02 AM

I'm amazed at how many newbs can get over 1000s + posts in the month they joined. Spamming anything useless (not saying everyone does!). Posting on top of their own posts 1 minute later, instead of thinking what they are going to say or edit their previous post, leading to the whole thread to jibberish off the point long winded gossip. Then after just one month dishing advise which is in alot of cases a bit terrible :S lol. I also agree with lats60 from what i've seen.

**LivingToBeBig** · 09-20-2008, 07:13 AM

boobs yea i love them

**free_spirit** · 09-20-2008, 07:20 AM

hohohoh here we go

**Big** · 09-20-2008, 07:44 AM

This is kind of a loaded question, it's like asking "how do you feel about people?" There are many different types of people, and subsequently many different types of n00bs. For the most part I truly appreciate the new members, and I would much rather they come here and ask a question, even if it's a question that's been asked a thousand times, than for them to not ask that question and end up hurting themselves. On the other hand, we seem to get our share of members who post:
"I'm 18, 6'2", 150lbs, my diet is perfect, and a guy I know recommended a dbol /deca cycle, what do you think? Will this make me huge?"
then when we try to steer him in the right direction, he argues how the guy who advised him is massive and knows more than all of us. It makes me wonder why he even posted the question.
Notwithstanding that, those members are just a small cross section of the populous, and they will always come as part of the new member brigade. My opinion is that we should do our best to help them all, and if some choose not to take our advice, at least we tried.

**BritishColumbian** · 09-20-2008, 08:27 AM

I will always be a newb unless I can change my name some day. Anyway, when I came on this site I did alot of reading but I was still confused, and I was helped out when i asked uneducated questions. I got quik acurate replys with minimal flaming. So props to this forum 4 sure, If it wasnt for this forum I would have made even more mistakes than i did with my first cycle. Everyone is a newb at some point.

**redz** · 09-20-2008, 09:20 AM

As long as they are respectful I love to help out as much as possible but if they are arrogant and insist they know best then they get whats comign to them.

**BuffBuffalo** · 09-20-2008, 09:45 AM

I don't really mind the noobs, just wish they'd research more.

**Flagg** · 09-20-2008, 10:30 AM

2008 has seen a MASSIVE influx of newbs onto this site. What makes me laugh is how some of them already have like 3000 posts.

I don't mind them so much, as long as they dont post too much random nonsense. Like Kale said, we were all newbs once.

This site has been great for me in regards to diets and lifting techniques, I don't juice (prehaps in the future) but this place is a wealth of information. I just hope that the noobs that do have like 3000 posts already, have actually done SOME research, have asked legit questions and not spent 90% of the time in the Official Post Whore Thread.

I think this thread is pretty FVCKED up. Its not like newbis are a different species.
Were you born with an AR birth certificate or something?

I like giving back to this forum what was freely given to me. Sometimes newbs come in here with the worst attitude, some come in openminded and willing to learn, and then there are the ones that come in and stir shit up and disappear. I treat them all on an individual basis.....

**Voland** · 09-20-2008, 11:40 AM

good.

**KingTenderloin** · 09-20-2008, 11:47 AM

I am a newb.. so im gonna be reading the posts in the Q & A for a while before i jump in, and i been gettin to know some people in the lounge a lil bit

**jstraw428** · 09-20-2008, 01:13 PM

i will always consider myself a newb, I am constantly learning and researching this topic.....for me, I can never know enough about how all aas react with my body.....the learning process never stops.....
Must learn a lot to grow a lot.....and keep it.....
