I dont care what you guys think or want to say, I have read all your posts and most of the guys who are critiscizing me have posts that are made of a simple smile or LMAO, etc, I answer most questions asked on the steroid forum and help out alot, if you have anything positive to say... ill hear out, if not, you can keep it to yourself.

Heres something positive. Dont bump old posts about scammers. This isnt the best thing to happen to AR and a lot of people got burned.

(if you are in tune enough to read b/w the lines, great.)

Ultimately, I am bumping this thread, I realize this (and apologize). Trying to document some of AR's history and impact on the community in order to update our mission statement to our members.

Viewing only the first page of this thread, you can see how much change AR has gone through over the past year! My hopes are that members do know that our efforts are in their best interests.

Furthermore, AR is going to continue to operate with integrity and associate only with the best. My thanks goes out to all you quality guys who make this site and community possible!

One hour has passed since posting in this thread again. let me tell you how good it makes me feel when i get those thanks for looking out pm's. Really makes my time worthwhile here, appreciate that.

By simply acknowledging this thread, most can notice how many banned and removed members are present. All goes back to why AR is switching gears at this present time and not focusing on scammers/scamming.

On the first page alone, many guys who should have been exposed were not (right away at least). They slipped through the cracks. Many others now should at the very least reflect on whom they associate themselves with. Still seeing staff here in that category and guys with reps elsewhere with eyes shut pains me. Moving forward, the board is going to make steps to increase security...and most importantly make this community enjoyable and educational.

This thread opened the doors to many scammers. Exposing everyone to threads/issues such as this, AS well as having a scammers forum isnt wise. It is a liability as it encourages those lacking character to get the newest, most creative scam out there, build upon it...and place it on our turf!

Again, thanks for all that support our executive decisions

they weren't the 1st, and won't be the last...

all we have to carry with us throughout our life is our word...

some people know what that means.. others need to have it beaten into them..

**chest6** · 10-11-2005, 11:21 AM

Texas justice is due.

**fanatic** · 10-11-2005, 11:28 AM

Fu** those guys. Im glad they got caught.

**MatrixGuy** · 10-11-2005, 11:53 AM

Interesting thread. Keep up the good work Vette & Co

**topvega** · 10-11-2005, 12:27 PM

wow... that was like opening a time capsule... thanks for bumping this vette. it's good for some of us newer guys to get a look at it....

**956Vette** · 10-11-2005, 12:41 PM

yes, if history repeats itself...take note.

If you come across a large unanticipated incident like this do a couple things. Take note of who is involving themselves in the thread. I can name several guys in this thread who:
*became sources. capitalizing on peoples vulnerability (...ultimately setting up a scam themselves...)
*supported either the sources or networks and now look like idiots (some not even being aware of their idiocy)

without spelling everything out for everyone, my advice is to routinly service and maintain your douche-nozzle radar.
