***Attention AR!! New Changes are taking place!***

[system admin]

Attention AR:

We are restructuring our website to best suit the millions of members and guests that visit this site each year! We know how dangerous things can be without proper knowledge and guidance that AR brings for free each day.

In the past, we have had moderators to help show members around the site, keep the board free of immature people, enforce rules, show leadership, and above all, ensure the growth and stability of our free services. The moderators and other staff at AR have gone above and beyond to help the growth of this site and everyone should always be greatful to them. The owners and admin of this site have been privileged to be a part of the continued education in AAS and AAS related activities and we decided it was time to bring in some full time staff to help move us along in the right direction!

You will notice some new types of members called “AR-Scouts” These are members who show great interest in keeping AR the best place possible to learn. Their most important role as a Scout is to report posts, threads, or activities that are against the rules of AR. They will report any and every infraction to the Admin, who will take immediate action. Scouts do not have any authority over other members at AR. They are members who have chosen to become part of the AR staff because they value the board and the information it brings to so many.

You will also notice that there are a few more “Admin” on the site than normal. These admin are PAID employees of AR. They will be the ones to enforce the rules at all times. These Admin are unbiased as to who is breaking rules or creating a disturbance. Their sole job is to work for the members, guests, and sponsors. Admin may or may not be helpful in finding the answers that you want regarding AAS, but they will make sure that time you spend on the website will pleasant and enjoyable.

Thank you to all the members who keep AR the #1 site on the net for Anabolic Information!!

all for it...GO AR!!!

[SwoleCat]

Does this mean the mods have been done away with?

~SC~

[Bigmax]

Great to hear bro...let me know if I can be of assistance.

[Liftnainez]

good news.. let me know how I can help..

[Seattle Junk]

Will I get banned for swearing and acting stupid?

[bmf2]

Sounds like and interesting adventure indeed...

[Anabolios]

i seen a few scouts around..good guys

[hotstuff]

this is a very positive change

[system admin]

Mods have not been "done away with" in that context. Now the AR-Hall of Famers can spread their wealth of knowledge without having to bother with editing and political bullshit. Hall of Famers should be shown a great deal of respect due to the help,knowledge, and time donated.

thanks for the continious improvement to make this a better place. no wonder were #1.

[juiceboxxx]

[one8nine]

sounds this way

Ok so

Mods are now 'Hall of famers'?

Admins are now 'Mods'?

[hotstuff]

so basically all the mods that have put in so much time and effort keeping this site running smoothly have lost all of their powers? I don't see the reasoning behind it. and why horse and sman would be given any type of status on here is beyond me.

please remember that these guys do NOT HAVE POWERS. This title is not the same as a mod title. they simply help in reporting wrong doings on the site to admins.

[Bigmax]

So the "Scouts" are ARs snitches. Seems fitting for sman and horse to fill those positions...

Bro why the hating????...they are both cool guys...whats the reasoning for taking shots at them???

[Merc..]

I am no snitch and sman and horse arent either... Your looking at this the wrong way guys... I think the change is a good idea...

[Kale]

Shut it unless you have something positive to say, they are both great assetts to this board

[C_Bino]

What an uproar, and its not the first time. Changes are made and people get mad, I remember the last time it happened about 5 months ago and there were changes. Some people will be happy and some will not. Some will leave some will stay, the forum will go on.

I dont really have much to say about it, but I will say this. Over the last few months I feel people have already left, well maybe even longer than a few months. I will focus on the mods. It is rare to see gearaholic, rickson, keymastur, bouncer, 3vandoo give advice (well rare to see rickson, gearaholic or keymastur even online at all, and there are others but these come to mind immediately). Nothing against these guys AT ALL (although Im sure some will take this the wrong way). These members imo were merely still members BECAUSE they had mod powers and kept the forums clean. I mean now that they have no power I dont think they will continue to "share their knowledge" because they seemed to be here solely to moderate. It is a shame that the events came about this way with no warning whatsoever, but this is the real world and shit happens.

This forum will go on that wont be in jeopardy, but the quality of people/advice will diminish imo. Too bad.

So 3 admins are going to be able to keep their eye on the entire site and take the place of the many mods that were already doing a great job?
