Now thats one hell of a revolutionary change here, lets hope all goes well.

[jstone]

Im wondering when the first list will come in a pm. These are some pretty big changes.

[clarky.]

Thinking the same thing guys i just hope it does not fuck the forum up.

We hope not as well and will be watching closely to try to stay ahead... but traffic is slow and we need to do what the majority seem to want and still try to stay above the rest so to speak!

Agreed. Slow, and probably a wise business decision.

With close eyes I think it could help or work. You aren't changing the rules, just stretching them so to speak lol.

[Joco71]

Good luck with this good news is there are lot of people on this site that cares and gives solid info to the blind. I just hope it doesn't encourage the less intelligent to spew garbage. Many people are niave.

[Euroholic]

Hopefully not a nail in the coffin of this website. I am envisioning alot of people losing alot of money and potentially endangering themselves. HOPEFULLY ME BE WRONG!!!

Can you still ban people for scamming tho?

[AR's King Silabolin]

If someone sources so be it as long as it is not openly done on the board with a list being posted.

as a non-english native i fail to get a 100% exact understanding of this rule.

You can source open without a list then? And pm with a list?...But what the heck is a list in this context?. 10 sources listed together?

A product list.

[NACH3]

I was wondering why I was getting more PMs

Really tho, this could be a great business move.... The only thing I can foresee is young kids doing whatever it takes to get a pack! Let keep holding the integrity of this board high! Thx for the heads up Admin!

[ghettoboyd]

I just want to add that before anyone starts openly naming sources make sure it is cool with the source themselves because most good ones are private and don't care to be named and will get you cut of from them not just here but everywhere...staying safe is the top priority for them...tread carefully and be safe yourselves because scammers are everywhere...

[Simon1972]

So anyone can now sell testosterone by pmíng someone that asks/ or implies for a source in a thread? ?

We had better unban a whole lotta people!!

Yes scammers will still be found and banned as always...

As a new member, I chose this site over a lot of the 'higher traffic' forums because of the quality of knowledgeable long time members and mods. It's the most reasonable and responsible board I came across in my search. I really think that as long as these long time members stay active that the patient and responsible members such as my self will remain happy. With the increased traffic yes there may be a lot more "I want my stuff now" threads but I would imagine that most of this crowd already come here and post, get banned, and move on to one of the other forums. Like I said, personalty I picked this forum for it's informational and educational benefits, and as long as those remain a priority I don't see many problems. I'm still new, so sorry if my opinion does not matter - just thought I would give a fresh perspective.

I absolutely agree. I've learned a great deal just reading the stickies. Hats off to the vets for taking the time to help out those of us starting out.

Ditto

[jstone]

I think this can be a great thing. I have given a member a source through pm and was told I would be banned next time I did it. Which I thought it was totally ok through pm or else I wouldn't have done it.

I dont think its not having sources around that keeps people away. I think its the member base caring more for the guy in his early twenties than himself. A lot of people are turned off when they ask questions and get the answers they dont want to hear. I dont beleive anything should change in that respect, they can find what they need through google. I just beleive this is the reason for lack of traffic.

I also for a long time would be here but wouldn't sign in, because I read more than I post. Maybe making a few of the places on the forum only member accesible. This could help with traffic. Lots of people want access to the info, but dont have to be a member to gain access. I notice most of the time guest traffic is a lot more than member traffic.

This is just an observation, and worth exactly what you paid for it nothing. I liked the board before the changes, and hope they bring the traffic that your looking for. This board is truly 1 of a kind, and I know it will be maintained due to the staff/vetran members.

[clarky.]

Jstone i agree with you there. Ppl don't like getting told to wait till there 25 yo and be at 15% bf .
It's for there own good and we are only trying to help them the best we can with the information that we have here. This will not change.

Other boards do not give a fvck they say its ok for oral only cycles and ppl are being advised at the age of 17-18 yo its crazy i have read this my self UK muscle.

That is why they have more traffic imo nothing to do with sources.

[DaBrute]

I get what you guys are saying about kids on roids. For sure, they should be strongly discouraged.

But regarding the sources, I have to disagree. If word of mouth is the only way to get the stuff, what can one do but to ask the veterans? It makes no sense to chance putting trash in your body that might screw you badly and perhaps send you to the hospital or even worse to the morgue.

I think your right. I dont think the lack of sources has to do with the volume of traffic either. People just want you to condone what they propose doing.

I know this will never change due to the staff and members, and thats what makes this place what it is. Regardless of source availability.

Its nice to know that money will not sway the hierarchy of the forum to start giving bad advice to the members. More traffic equals more money, and at a time when most will sell there soul for a few dollars. Its nice to know that admin puts others safety above the bottom line.

This type of integrity is very rare these days, but here you see it from the top down.

[BuzzardMarinePumper]

I have also already received a PM offering a source and according to those who have been around longer than me , it was thought in the past anyone offering gear was a scam ? If I understand correctly the sources will not be listed on open forum and that would mean that scammers could not be called out ? How will this be watched ? If scammed should the member that got scammed contact . . . . WHO ?

Says it right here in admin original post.

Yup I see that I find it odd that I was contacted possibly as soon as the new rules went into effect So I think I will stick with my current ! I just can't see taking a chance on a stranger that is no where close to where I live ! I would possible consider someone in my area but that would be the only way !
