Man I have been reading a few posts and replys on this site and am seeing a lot of pissing contests and nose in the air kind of bullshit . This used to be such a fun and exciting forum were I spent a lot of time in just talking to peeps sharing info and smoking and joking . What the hell happened and were did all the cool people get to ?🤔

I used to log on to ninety some thousand members.
Now we are in the teens. People aren't cut out to take flak today.
Members need to stop ripping the ass out of newbies and this place could grow again.
I hate it when I am making progress with some newb and someone has to come in and display their little man syndrome and run off a new prospect.

Every man has the ability to be a fool, it is what he does to recover that shows who the fool really is.

Yea bud that would be pretty cool but I don't want anybody going out of there way for me . Plus I asked a really simple question in an earlier post this evening and gave a shit ton of info on me just to get a real *sshole response so I'm just going to float around like a newb man and kind of do the out of site out of mind thing . I appreciate it though . Hopefully there is more people like you on here for the guys that are really clueless and could use the help from knowledgeable people . Thanks again brother .

I also agree, we should either make the age minimum 25 or recognize that 80% of steroid users at any one time are college age males between the ages of 18-22. Most of those guys do between 1-3 cycles then move on to the next cliche thing. Those fly by night users will do what they want and no advise will get through to them. Usually those are the guys that post once about there Spring Break Pussy Crushing cycle of Winny and Var, then never come back. Or argue with you about the sound advise you gave them. Then there is the young 22 year old dude that wants it to be their lifestyle. That's who we should recognize and guide regardless if the are 25 or not.
If we didn't beat up the 22 year old so bad that wants the gym and anabolics to be part of his lifestyle we wouldn't lose him to another board.
I like what a number of Vets and HOF's do when they post up the Young and Steroids links and other educational material. And basically say hey, please make an informed decision. AAS isn't a trivial thing, if you read all this and still want to pursue it. I'll show you where to find the resources to do this in the safest and most effective manner.
Instead of basically telling them to fuck off and come back at 25.

I have seen more monitors come in with an abrasive attitude and run newbies off than regular members lately.
How many have you ran away lately Songdog?
Being abrasive to a newbie at all will send them packing. I have kept score.
If they are not handled with respect until they find somewhere to fit in, they will not last.
At the rate its going this forum will be a dead zone in a few years.
I am sure a few of the cool kids will stay and suck each other off though, too bad there wont be any variety in opinions. This place has become, "conform immediately and if you don't think like I do you are giving terrible advice and a dumbas."
Thats a good tecipe for a forum with 100members.

Brother that post wasn't in reference to our post earlier just so we are clear . And I'm not a big dude to begin with and I'm fine with that , and even at 165 I'm pretty well perportioned id like to think . I'm 40 years old at this point and I'm way beyond trying to be the big fellow in the gym . I'm perfectly fine with cycling to get back to were I was and not cycling again . Like I said in an earlier post , I'm just trying to look good naked : ) . But there is a difference in giving sound advice or an educated opinion then responding with arrogance and distain , no ?

If its any consolation I absolutely love the forum and helping People out but I also think that some new members ask questions to save themselves doing a quick search.

Thats exactly the problem songdog.
Here, you either fit in with the cool kids or you get hazed.
Try this next time you talk to a newbie, "not to be disrespectful, glad you are here, hope you stay."
You see when you speak kindly and not abrasive, it makes them like you. When you simply dryly state fact it doesn't help much either. Most people want a coversation and not a dictionary.
These people have other options, such as youtube and 50 other forums.
I was here, I remember what it was before the "in crowd got here."
I recieve a lot of pm's from returning and new members about just how big of a dick you are and your little buddy numbere.
Keep it up. You literally just ran away another member being a know it all butthole. I am losing interest in this forum, as are lots of people.
If what I say offends you and I hope it does, consider it a little taste of what you hand newbies who dont fit your ideas.
Good riddance songdog.

Attachment 169004Attachment 169004the guy that won the competition recently. I remember him.
Is that your comeback nerd? Posting a picture I put up of myself unflexed? One thing I have never seen, is a picture of the anabolic scientist "Numbere"
I know guys like you, you have all the answers but you are a squirrel. Nothing wrong with that.
Post a photo number. I posted my worst and I am sure its better than your best.Last edited by Obs; 04-23-2017 at 07:44 PM.

obs, you have been arguing with people for months buddy.
The problem is that people feel the need to fit in with what they think are the cool guys. You did. you were all on sils nuts, then marcus, shit you were fighting with everyone.
people need to be themselves.
This place will never go back to the big, tmos, prone days but is still the best forum around.
No reason we beat on new guys unless they deserve it.
Everyone needs to relax and enjoy it here like the old days, stop all this fighting shit, and stop the stupid polls.

Well a lot of the stuff people come here to learn about is a grey area in most people's lives . For some it can be kind of hard to know were to start . It's much more gratifying to try and point them in the right direction . You have to think of guys that are green to the game as baby's , and baby's need to be taught how to take baby steps . There was a gentleman on here 8 or 10 years ago when I was originally a member . He never used steroids and never planned on it . He was here for diet and exercise info and was a big supportive member for all that posted . He inenvertanly impacted my life by just being a solid guy . He beat brain cancer one time around and afterwards he got back into great shape naturally and strived to be the best he could be . I remember him being a Christian fella who never negatively judged anyone and was always handing out great advice . Well his cancer returned and it escalated very fast and he past away . But he made sure to tell his wife to come onto the forum and thank everyone for just simply being human beings . Moral of the story is go out of your way to be a teacher and guide those in need of direction . If I remember correctly I think his name was mulva or something to that effect . And for some reason I remember all that went on that time pretty vividly . Does anyone remember what his name was ?

-Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to use a softer tone? I' in college now, I'm the old guy...
And, I know I'm guilty of letting loose the frustration that builds up in me seeing how these kids are.
-It was probably the same for the old guy seeing me years ago but somehow it is a little different.
They are much softer, fragile of ego, entitled, and self-centered.
Maybe its because our generation was so small that the baby boomers sucked all of the air out of the room?
-Anyhow, I am going to try harder not to share my values when I know the other person can't learn from it.
-Also, the majority of the people who get turned-off were not likely to have added to the forum anyway.
Especially since many other forums are kind of like fake news and groupthink, the kind of idiot that can't add to this community is likely to get turned away for not receiving the answer for which they were looking or, for hearing that the easy street doesn't lead to the place where they want to be.
-However, it is possible that some just need to be steered in the way that many of the aforementioned vets and HOFs do. "First Cycle Thread." "AIs thread etc. I wouldn't like it if I was treated poorly because I asked a question wrong or used a tone that was developed in other forums.
-Just because young people are stupid doesn't mean that wiser people shouldn't treat them with grace. Perhaps that's an opportunity for growth for me?
-At school I just keep my eyes up, my chin up, my shoulders down and walk right through the hole that forms in front of me. I'm polite but not indulgent. I don't feel I am a part of that community but I do feel that I am a part of this one. Therefore, I have more duty to welcome and show patience.
Thanks for having me as a part of our group.

The only new comers that anyone is rude to are the ones who ask a question, get several great answers , that aren't what they want to hear, then they either cop an attitude or they start another thread and ask the same damn question. Or in every post they forgot what they said in their last post. Then cop an attitude when they are called out on it. At that point they are open game in my book. They will never be a contributing member of this community. They don't have the will or the mind set. So if someone is rude to them. So be it.
This used to be a NO Snowflake Zone. All the pc bullshit is what's ruining this country. Suck it up and move on. You can cater to everyone and have something that's average or cater to a more select few and have something great.
Rant over.

Nope.
No one will stay if they get treated like shit at every turn. Its way too easy to youtube.
When you finess them for a bit they stay.
Try it pooky.
Do it for me....
It doesn't take a snowflake to realize there are ways to get their info without being gang raped by dicks for asking a dumb question.
IMHO!
IMHO means I can say anything and you can't get pissy right?
