I would like to say, as a random member of this website that I have observed the following...
There are two groups- Dudes who know what they're talking about because they know this stuff, and the dudes who could quickly be identified as 'that guy' at the gym.

The guys who have 5,000+ post spend enough time at a website called 'steroid.com' that it's safe to assume that they have a real interest in the world of aas and bodybuilding.

I agree that they may have an interest in AAS (because most anyone on here does) but i having 5000+ posts means nothing. Some guys have 20000 and still have no clue when it comes to AAS because they are here for the fun too.

Now to the avatar. Mine is not me. I am an FSU fan and Nigel Bradham is a beast so i put him as my avatar. I would love his genetics but i would never claim that was me. I would hope that guys would realize it by the name and the pic

[playboii]

that is true there are many here with high posts counts that may not known much but just enjoy being here and others with low post costs that known their shit and also enjoy being here so is all about the person the the number! haha.

The real avatars are pretty easy to distinguise. Example being, 'Marcus' is a big dude who spends some serious time in the gym (with links and all that promo banner stuff). You can tell it's a real pic with the face omitted by paintshop. There are many other avatars that might be displayed to intimidate, fantasize, second-guess, represent an allegory, or provide some inner meaning that can only be understood with time on this forum. Example, DSM- he likes guys and the car, got it. No disrespect DSM, ur a very interesting and intelligent guy.

I have been reading lots of post from guys giving out advice like their doctors or experienced professionals, and they sound like assholes. That shit is dangerous and looks stupid too. If u really want to verify the knowledge of a member, u can look up all of his threads and posts and get an idea of how well he knows his shit. Example, Swifto must be a biochemist doctor who creates new formulas to counteract outdated formulas for fun.

I thought this was an opportune thread to speak out on some of the interesting personalities and pictures on this site. There are some real smart people sharing information that really helps, and then there are the others. Regardless, the avatars represent whatever a member who spends enough time here wants to convey. I think most can agree that appearance is always an important factor on perspective, but dig a little and you can usually find out what's behind the picture.

Well interesting insights, I think its about time YOU get an avatar now. =]

hell no, he shouldnt.

i had no props throwin my way in his lil spill there n' im pure awesomeness..

[playboii]

i put my real image before but i got wayy too many pms on "dude wtf did u run?" or "dude is that you"? so I just went back to the basics like everyone hes been here for a whole does and just put a picture that signifies some part of their personality.. everyone had different genetics just because 1 guy is HUGE doesnt mean he knows what hes doing it just may be his genetics..so I go by the science and the facts and the true knowledge! lol so in other words avis are nada to me is just the way you carry yourself!

Hahahaha good to see you bro, yes i feel like i never left....

glad your back bro....

[ModelInProgress]

Mine sticks out, helps me find my posts easier.

Hmmm...there's a search function for that LOL...

My avatar is me...it's the only fairly recent close-up of my face. I don't usually assume that someone's avatar is a picture of them (I don't even consider whether it is or not really). However, if people are basing their judgement of someone's knowledge solely on an avatar picture...they're probably idiots.

[6ft5]

This is me, but I think I better looking in person. Lol! I stick to the practical stuff. Or try and point people in the right direction.

[Bertuzzi]

LMAO you can't really go into a thread in the last week where someone isn't ripping on ferocious bubble.... That shit cracks me up!

[gixxerboy1]

mines me

[Aizen Sosuke]

That's me in the avatar. BAN-KAI!!

[slimy]

I took my pic in the bathroom of a club. Sent it to my ex. Got me laid. So I said, 'what the Hell." and sent it to other girls. It kept getting me laid. I love that pic. So I made it my avatar.

[Hard.On]

My avatar is from when Connor McLoued cut my neck with a sword
I had to use safty pins to seal the wound, I was out of stiches

[Big]

Mine is just a pic I like that I've used for years, but I never meant it to be misleading as I always have pics of myself in my profile.

[BgMc31]

though i think he came right back under a new name and new fake pictures.

And they force you to stay in the gym because they grow fast. My oldest son (16) just had his first weightlifting contest and did a 285lb powerclean. I have to stay huge just to keep my house in order!! LOL!!!

[oldschoolfitness]

Your avatar, is that you pitching or catching? LOL

Mine is where I want to be (my goal) in another two years.

[dec11]

[Bossman]

My avatar is me...it's the only fairly recent close-up of my face.

I thought your avatar was you (nice smile). You know though, for the members to fully appreciate your hard work and dedication to a fitness lifestyle, an avatar showing more of your physique would work to your advantage.









And all of us guys taking test would appreciate it too!
