    I'm interested in the history of AR...

    -I've heard about the "old board", what was that all about

    -Who started AR

    -Who owns AR now

    -Who was AR's first member

    -Is AR a profitable business or just something you guys do as a hobby

    Sorry if it sounds like I'm being nozy, just never hear anybody talk about the origins of AR
    I read once that the board was "owned" bye PTbyJason, is that the current PT that is still around?

    PTByJason left the board years ago, but he was one of the original founders yes. As far as I know AR is a profitable entity. They make cash through their book sales, roid store (fake 'steroids'), and other products (steroid clense) comes to mind. I think they might also get a kick-back from AR-R sales

    i was the first member here dude.
    anyone else you see on here that has a join date prior to me is a figment of your imagination and you shouldnt listen to what they have to say. cause then you'd just be talkin to yourself in multiple personalities.
    and frankly, thats weird.

    Really? .. but i remember reading once that before AR it was called something else, and the server got hacked and all the entities where erased etc... Something to that effect......??

    An old wizard found some magic beans under an ancient stone on the far side of the Nevada dessert in 1653, he planted those beans and watered them everyday and from these magic beans sprouted AR.

    Wonderful story, there is more but you have to be 21yrs of age, so come back and ask me in a couple of years son El D

    Brian owns AR. It was originally anabolic-review, then Brian bought steroid.com and other URL's. Its all owned under Dynamic Sports Nutrition which has been operating for around 12 years. Brian started with a supplement store, which grew and grew.

    Steroids.com is also now owned by Dynamic also. SARMs.com, ***********, *********.com etc...

    Dam right its profitable, have you seen what Brian dirves?! ha ha...

    I asked Brain once and he told me this. But I cant find the PM. I'm not looking through nearly 2000 to find it!!!

    .....

    Within a few months, I had enough customers to get a small space in the back of a "going out of business" cell phone store. Started doing ok and decided to get a store online, so I paid 2500 for someone to build me a site and started selling online as well as brick and morter. I thought of ways to get more traffic to my supplement website and at the time I was ************ and decided that I would be the perfect kind of customer for my store so I looked into building a steroid information website to drive traffic to my nutrition store. Long story short... a LOT of hard work, hours, **** ups, and ideas (that I put to work and not just talked about) and I had a huge online supplement business. I sold my retail stores for good money and then kept my feet moving. Then I started buying every domain name i could with the money I was making and that leads me here today.

    LOONG story told VERY short! hahaha

    Cycleon, BDTR and PTJason (think that was his name) started another forum. I think its still around now. But the owners may have sold it or no longer post much.

    Edit: Its called promuscle mag.com. The Original Jason is the Admin

    Yeah that was IFL (ironforlife). Not a bad board, I used to post there too. Then they changed it over / sold it and its promuscle now. I haven't been back since then
