    Obviously I love this place, except for one section that to me is just to close of sourcing and seems to lead to it 50% of the time and needs watched closely.

    UGL section.
    I know admin wants it but im just wondering if it's not more trouble than its worth?

    If it were me, and i dont post any where but in the male hormone section, id change this :

    Every kind of "steroid " site places their trt or hormone section in under the steroid section and i dont agree with it at all... It really sheds a bad light on sites as i know a few buddies who wont go on most of these sites as it can be strewed as "looking for roids" etc....

    Id take the hormone sections and put them together under their own section.... I think lowt would possibly be seen a bit more as well as drive in more trt people....

    The problem with trt or hormone replacement is that its always associated with steroids .... We need to separate this thinking so its not associated with steroids but with medical necessity.....

    The rest is fine as it sits....

    One thing that I liked about this board was about a year to two years ago when we had all those people doing research and posting studies. After a lot of them got banned for breaking the rules here, they weren't replaced with other people posting research.

    I found a lot of that really informative. And definitely did more to explain why somebody should do one thing verses another and more or less how a specific part/system of the body works.

    And if getting more members/traffic here is important, has the owner ever considered sponsoring/starting an actual in-person amateur bodybuilding competition in some big vacationing destination?

    I don't think it'd be great to be a source board. One of the things I like about this site is that you're not having a bunch of reps pimping their wares on people rather than giving sound advice. If you look at other boards, knowledge and help are secondary to the real business of pimping out gear. And a lot of people get scammed on those sites.

    I wish there was a source check section... There's just so many bunk sources now a days and it would be nice to have a site we trust give us some feedback on sources that are good... Most sites do not have legitimate sources and that's obvious when you post problems with one of there top sources and your posts get removed so hopefully if they do it doesn't turn into a money thing.... Either way what are the reasons for not having source checks??? Not attacking you in anyway; you always give me great feed back on my posts and I have a lot of respect for you man just my .02

    I think It could be good and bad....I mean there has to be a way to do it without all the bs from reps just pushing there products....maybe and section where it's posted by Mods....good sources u could check out..and ones u should stay away from...
    Pmin for source checks are allowed now...so maybe Makin that public....I do see where issues can come up from that but...I think that could help out a lot of ppl from blowing hard earned money on bunk....
    Also maybe having some kind of stipulations on being able to get that info....post count...status..etc....

    The board is a great place already...just something to consider maybe

    source checks are a hassle. You never know when a source is going to go bad

    I wonder if more people would join if you did not allow anyone (non-members) to read the stickies and blog entries? If people could read the threads about members chatting and answering questions, that would be fine. But, if for example, when someone tells someone to read planning and executing a first cycle with the link included. But, then when a non member clicks the link, a window pops up that says "This thread is for members only" it is free and only takes a minute to sign up and then you will have access to all of our information. This might inspire more people to join rather than just browse.

    I agree with you on this and maybe that is why I love This site the most because it is the most informative

    Yup... I agree... I don't think it's fair at all for non members to get all this great info and don't have to log in(that's bullshit in my eyes)... I am wondering if there is a time limit/cap on how much time or number of articles allowed b4 joining! I feel like most do this(as b4 I joined every ? I googled actually brought me to this site more than any other) most of the other forums could care less about telling someone to STOP rather they try and make all kinds of adjustments w/more compounds(higher dosing etc) and more chems...

    This site is safe and I love how this site is almost like an anti steroid site(in cases where people/members aren't ready!

    I had to join other sites to read information. It doesn't make me post there. It actually bothered me that I was forced to join. It will membership up!

    Most of the time I will choose another site over one that forces me to sign up in order to just look/read. And what is the value of having members if we are only increasing the numbers with one-visit users? It does let us say that membership is going up, but it isn't any meaningful increase.

    And while I understand that it would be great to have a reliable place to confirm sources, I'm not sure it could happen whilst hanging on to the good advice given by people here because I don't know how people with a financial interest in some sources could be kept away. And I think the result would be that people would not be able to rely on the advice given with the same impartiality that we currently have, where no one is allowed to sell or direct sales in that way.

    The X-Rated section was great.

    For those that don't know, there was section where we could post porn. It didn't last too long because some a-hole member posted nude pictures of his ex-gf, who also happened to be a member. It was a dark day when that section was closed.

    Well if we were a source board it is a sertinty that we would get a huge increas in members but do you really we want that for that reason?? ?.
    Don't get me wrong when i started this years ago i would love a site or people to talk to about getting ass and where to get them as in good places i know there is sites out there but you don't get a good source board and great advice in the one place but then again could we be the first ?????.
    I don't know i don't like the idea off this forum being just a forum like the rest of them because it is not. People come here when they need help and advice and i like that.

    Clarky, reading your post made me think that if this was a source board, wouldn't the various LE of countries that prohibited steroid use or purchase just come and use the info to close down the sources? Is that what happens on source boards?

    I lurked for a long time because I have seen it on every steroid board I've been part of. What I am referring to is a very high and mighty attitude from the guys who have been here a while. I'm not saying all of them. But enough to turn me off at least till now.

    Next is I absolutely think this should be a source board. If you want to keep dumb people from hurting themselves make a post limit. Once someone reaches 500 posts and 6 months of time they can see the source forum. Just my thoughts.

    It dosen't happen to source board believe it or not. There are several very successful source boards that long time suppliers advertise on. The source I'm using now I got referred from here but it's actually the number one source on a very popular source board.

    that's how you end up with to much spamming. I don't think that's a good idea at all

    How can law enforcement not be on those source boards, getting info on sources and just shutting them down?

    The same question to you, Clarky - I understand how the board can stay around, but don't good sources get shut down quicker when people discuss them out in the open (online)?
