Oh ya, I use the app... Appears to be a bug in that any video link will lock up the app and not return? I have to do a restart on the phone (iPhone 6) and I have just stopped clicking any video links, so if that could be fixed that would be great!!!

[woody127]

Tbh...I don't think anything needs changing... Why change something if its working...yes all them people lurking and not registering... Why..maybe because of the name of the forum "steroid " lol people might be thinking wow if I join that what will my Mrs think lol...or if someone sees the app on there fone etc ...there's going to be thousands of people out there wanting to keep there steroid use a secret and one of the ways to do that i suppose is don't register

[officious]

Well thanks for joining. Consider using google chrome and in the upper right click on the tool bar and use their "incognito browsing" feature.

Private browsing on Firefox:
On Firefox the short cut is Ctr+shift+P or click "File" and then look for "new private window" it's third down the list.

IMO nothing needs to change, the quality of the information and uncompromising position of vets and mods on information and recommendations is flawless. The only issue I have is the aesthetic of the site, I find it really dark and I get tired of reading after a while because of the contrast with the border and the posts etc. But that really doesn't matter if it didn't change I'd keep using it any way.

What can we do to make this board better for you? Remind new members upon account creation there's a SEARCH button in addition to the importance of reading the critical stickies regarding initial use.

How can we make this board more appealing to new members? Increase restricted sections of the site. Why sign up when I can access everything already? I joined recently to express my gratitude a few days back. That was my only incentive to join as I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable on most of the topics discussed and I have low interest in using AAS. With the wealth of information readily available, why should someone feel inclined to join?

This one goes out to the people who don't log in or haven't registered but lurk - what is the reason why you don't log in or register? Like others have previously said, I've only caught myself lurking as a Guest (recently-I'm still a new guy) until I've gone to post a comment.

Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate? In addition to ideas previously stated by others, I like to think that for every idiot posting an uninformed "First Cycle" thread, there's many more individuals actually reading the stickies, doing their homework and finding all their questions answered in previous posts.

What do you think about us not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at? I would appreciate this board remain as-is in that regard. Doing otherwise opens up the forum to a complete mess of misinformation which goes against the very reason I chose to join here. This forum embodies the "Teach a man to fish..." philosophy.


Hope this helps. Figured as a new guy my insights would finally be useful

BTW why can't I check my notifications or profile? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING IN THERE hahaha

[ZeroSumGainz]

This is a thought I had about appeal to new members and for increased participation. On another website I frequent there is a weekly stupid questions thread. It could be useful in getting more people involved. I've read a bunch of posts over the last little while and there is no stupid question unless a user asks something without searching first or it's contained in a sticky. Of course a weekly stupid questions thread has pros and cons.

Pros:
- Opportunity for new (and old) users to ask without being judged
- Increased participation
- Conversion of lurkers to registered users that may otherwise feel discouraged from posting
- Concentrates the stupidity into one place creating a form of ignorance singularity. In an ideal world, if users have this outlet they may be inclined to save up their questions until the next weekly thread.

Cons:
- Stuck answering the same things over and over again (but aren't you already), I think this comes with the territory of having a user base with such a variety of knowledge
ie. 'Where can I buy steroids ?' x 1000
- New users form bad habits of asking instead of searching. This leads to poor research
- I'm sure there are a ton more, but mostly focusing on the positive.

This site is a wealth of information and the fact of the matter is most questions can be answered by searching or reading but that doesn't increase participation or number of users logged in. That can all be done lurking.

[CharlesThe4th]

Being a new member it is very frustrating not having a reliable source. I don't know anyone in person who I could go through so I have to resort going online. With that being said I like the fact that there is no source talk, I understand why and think it's great. I do wish there was some way with safety meausures to get a source check.

[bartman314]

i agree with all the positive overall reviews. the things that have made this my go-to site for anything related to lifting, nutrition, and (broadly defined) supplements is the straightforward knowledgeable and fact/experience based discussions (for the most part) and the "sense of brotherhood" as one of the other posters stated. i feel like a really know some of the guys here.

i have mixed feelings on the source board. i think setting a bar is a good idea (maybe at the member level as i try to limit my own posts to those that add value and it's timeconsuming to get to 500+ this way - for me as a relative new-comer), but i'd be concerned about having the site hacked by leo's or infiltrated by scamers and used against what is seemingly a good workable system (source check pm's to sr guys).

maybe we should just lobby to legalize aas in the us?!?

[jackfrost88]

From my experience over the last month, this site it awesome and well maintained with great info.

[marcus300]

I just registered because of this comment and I want to offer some thoughts. I've been reading this forum off and on for years, I guess I was looking more for information, and didn't really feel I had much to offer in return. However, I like the information here and I think its is worth knowing. As for the "staying logged in" thoughts... another reason I had not registered is exactly this. I live in a crowded house, wife and lots of kids, and I'm old(ish). I'd prefer to stay in the lurking fringe.... until now apparently.

Thanks for the feedback and also registering. Please post more and enjoy the forum

Thanks again for your comments

[marcus300]

Keep them coming in guys, great stuff

I love all of you, meow.

Welcome, Charlie!! That goes to all new members!

[noballs25]

I have another one. This only applies to women. My wife uses my account to read up on here and wants to ask a few questions but is a little embarrassed talking about stuff like her sensitive clit on cycle.

Anyway women could have a private section of their own for women only? So they can post pics of progress, etc.

Cmon what guy wants to hear and see gym hottie's talk about their increased sex drive, sensitive clit, and progress pics anyways?

[human project]

Because of this there needs to be an incentive to login. Firefox seems to dump my login info most of the time, 'Remember Me' doesn't keep it populated. It would be nice to just click Login.

One piece of feedback, I can adjust in the settings to only show recent posts, but page 1,2,...,N all show the same stickies at the top. Is there a way to only have it on the first page? Don't get me wrong the stickies are useful but I'd log in just to lurk if I didn't have to scroll past them everytime.

**EDIT: Okay so I guess there are ways of doing this through the toolbar 'New Posts' and 'Quick Links'. I'm new here

You should just get the app for your phone

[human project]

Some of the guys on here, I look forward to reading their posts and threads. I guess you could say I'm a lurker in the way that I manage to find most of the questions I have to ask, already answered in older threads. I scroll through a lot of older threads! Also I find new threads useful apart from the classic 'first cycle' threads that seem to go up numerous times every day! Some of the info and advice shared on here is awesome. Really helped steer me away from making some major mistakes! Thanks to austinite, Mr bb, buster brown, lovbyts, nach3, Marcus to name a few

Ya I never understand why people get mad when you bump an old post or ask a question on an old post... It I have a question I would search for it and a lot of times I come across an old thread that is talking about exactly what I'm researching

[KSurf]

Hey mate! This forums is FANTASTIC! People are helpful and the question I asked were answered almost immediately! Lots of helpful forumers around, I would say don't change anything and stay the same buddy!!!

Sincerely and regards

The more I think of how to better this site... The more I realize youse(vets/mods/specialists etc) are doing the best, & making this the BEST site!

The rules are in place for good reasons! Why fix something that isn't broke(maybe the adds & word "steroid " gives people the feeling that we are just another forum), however, this site is known for its safety and its ability to talk people out of doing them(more often than not / & couldn't agree more)!!!

Keep it up guys! I'll never leave this forum!!

With that being said I like the fact that there is no source talk, I understand why and think it's great. I do wish there was some way with safety meausures to get a source check.

It's very hard because a Sources reliability changes so frequently. We only talk about brands we use and that isn't even full proof. I had a great relationship with a sourace just last year then he vanished with 800$ of mine and lots of others. We have no way of truly knowing what a source is up to so we will no vouch for any or very few.

[BG]

Thanks everyone for the great comments greatly appreciated.

[bulldoghorn]

after spending almost a year doing research, this forum is by far the best source for information regarding bodybuilding, health, and the different types of approaches to gaining muscle. I also enjoy the fact that senior members are very obliging to help novices(like myself).

And after 6 months of researching sources, and getting burned, I agree that this should not be a source board. There are plenty of other forums for that, and unfortunately, source boards attract the lowest forms of humans.

[-Ender-]

Please se the responses in red.

We would like you to give us some feedback regarding the board. Feel free to be honest because we are looking for YOUR opinion which will help us make changes to help this board grow and be stronger.

Nothing what you say will be attacked we are looking for honesty because each and every one of you helps this board to be No1, so please give us your feedback on:-




What would you change? The search function is lacking. I am not a programmer, so I do not have an answer, but the scope of the search is too broad when specific terms are used.



Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate? I think that the visitor count is sometimes members that have been auto logged off

What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at? This should never be implemented.


Please give your honest views and lets keep this on topic and don't attack anyone for their opinions

[marcus300]

keep them coming thanks

[Oki-Des]

I think that some people are simply interested in learning or researching and do not take it seriously enough to join themselves. Or, they do not have anything to offer, therefore feel as though there is no reason to actually join. There is probably also a number of people who are simply afraid that the site might get attacked and personal information could be released. Maybe, if people were allowed to browse for an hour or so while not being a member, and then their IP requests they join from that point on; you might get a lot more to join. Or, it might lower the numbers as they could be afraid they are being watched or something. But, maybe if you first explain, as a guest, you can browse the site for up to one hour before being asked to join, then people would know they have an hour to learn, and then simply register to continue viewing, it might bring in more people.

[Simon1972]

why dont we offer all newcomers herbs that pretend to be actually be steroids - with names resembling actual steroid names!!

this is one of the main reasons it took me two years to register after lurking, with such a big site its importnat to maintain the integrity of the sponsorship..but im already getting myself into trouble...rant over

[Duo]

I think that you will find a lot of people coming here because they are looking for a source to buy steroids and when it becomes apparent it doesn't work like that you get the lurkers etc imo.

I wouldn't say a source board would be a good thing where you are openly saying use these etc (if I am wrong please correct) but what I would say is that it might be an idea for members who have a certain post score or verified by admin that they can somehow leave there experiences within a thread (only open to official forum members, so some kind of block to the stalkers/lurkers lol) of what source they have used along with overall feedback. This way members can make there own minds up on whether to use a certain source and your not putting the forum at risk by openly recommending.

The guys who run/support this forum are doing a fantastic job and from spending hours reading through different areas of this forum I have learned so so much, keep it going and well done..

Just one other thing I remember just before I joined was that I was concerned about receiving communication from the forum via email. Even now I would be devastated if I was sat at home one night with the wife and a email came through with the words steroids somewhere on it, isn't worth thinking about the explosion lol.. What I am getting at, is maybe to reassure people that when they join they will not receive any forum communications unless specifically opting in (if you decided to do this in the future of course)..

[Duo]

Hi Marcus,

I have a new idea, I am member of another forum (not related to anything on this one) and on the main page they have a chat box. This works really well for members to get a quick answer from other members who are online at the same time. The positive really is that you don't get tons of crap hijacked on peoples threads which are completely irrelevant to the thread like hi mate how are you, hows things, watcha doin, hows it goin, how did you get on with etc etc.. Basically its there for very quick support and allows members to speak with one another how they wish (within reason), brings a friendly feeling to the forum.

Anyway just an idea, as I said it does work well on another forum I use..

[system admin]

WHAT A GREAT THREAD! - I'd like to add my .02:

1. Some above said, don't fix what isn't broken:

The fact is, we have been around a LONG time and have done things 15 different ways to evolve to the website/forum we have now. Its human nature to want to constantly fix things to make them better, but often times we BREAK things when things were not broken to begin with, so sometimes its best to resist the urge to constantly FIX.


2. So many guests "lurking" and not registering and posting:

The reason for this is starting to become very clear. The people who use the internet TODAY, know how to effectively use the internet. What I mean by that is that MOST people know how to use the search feature on websites and we have just about every question you can possibly ask, answered at least 100 times. With over 6 million post and the use of our search tool, you can find just about answer you can possibly think of. I think people ENJOY researching this topic and find that they dont have to register to get the help they need. The internet is not what it was to us OLD PEOPLE 16 years ago... these younger guys and gals know how to use the internet much better than we did when it was evolving to what it is today.

3. NOT having a source area on this website keeps this place MATURE and Respectful. We have allowed this in the past and the site is flooded with arrogant source reps, immature members, ridiculous amounts of arguments, turf wars, sh!t talking and more vividly than anything.... It created a forum that revolved around SELLING or BUYING DRUGS and NOT properly helping the people that came here for some serious and well thought advice before taking the leap into using Anabolic Steroids .

Note: The Vets, Respected Members, Mods, Admin, Monitors and ALL New and Old members who post on this site are all here because THEY WANT TO HELP. There are NO kickbacks here. There is no hidden agenda from our members. The Members who come here to post and help do this because the love to learn and help others bypass some of the pitfalls that they ran into. This place may not have 1000 members active at any given minute, but those members we do have are QUALITY MEMBERS. I will take quality over quantity any day of the week. Not only that, we have a BROTHERHOOD around here and most of our bothers are BIG brothers who have been around for a LONG time. That is amazing in itself.


5. The SEARCH TOOL:

Soon, this will become a much better tool for the site. We are working on ways to improve its functionality and make it much easier to see and use. Stay tuned

Oh... and I MAY have found an adequate solution to STOP THE VIDEO AUTO PLAY that so many of you love! haha!! We will see.... :-)

Thx for such a great forum, and also the members who make all this possible!!

Without a doubt guys, I have so much pride in our amazing members that reach out and add something truly special to the people who come here for help and education. The fact that you all started and contributed to THIS particular thread shows that we are a very mature group of people who take pride in this website and the importance of what we all do.

Nothing what you say will be attacked we are looking for honesty because each and every one of you helps this board to be No1, so please give us your feedback on:-


What can we do to make this board better for you?
I wish there wasn't the video welcoming me to Steroid.com because I like to log in sometimes at work. I had to mute really fast. LOL

How can we make this board more appealing to new members?
Can we have the most popular stickies available to new members? New guys are asking the same question all the time.

What would you change?
I would make it mandatory that new members give their stats before they can post.

This one goes out to the people who don't log in or haven't registered but lurk - what is the reason why you don't log in or register?

Why do you think so many people read the information we have on the board but don't participate?
I think it's because "steroids" has an emotional stigma as an illegal, hush hush, topic. I was reading for 6 months before I became a member and make my first post.

What do you think about use not being a source board? does it keep people away or would being a source board be something we should look at?
We should not be a source board. Giving source information for steroids could bring the scrutiny of the law enforcement community. Right now, we are an information board where information is traded freely. I like the open forum format. Also, if we give sources then we could be looked on as being biased and we could lose our impartial position of distributing information for the safety of the community.
