(well most of us anyway) We all can agree AR is one of the best boards around. PERIOD! Why? well, for those who have been around for awhile, we are like a family. We have some of the smartest guys/girls around. We have amazing VETS/MODS. We try our best to help people out. Remember: AR has a NO FLAME policy. But, lately new guys (and you don't have to be new to steroids, hell you can be Mods/Vets on other board) but when it comes to being "new" to AR, I'm sick and tired of people disrespecting newbies, and most of all our VETS/MODS. I'm sick of the childish behavior. If you don't have anything nice or intelligent to say, then keep it to yourself. there are other boards that may tolorate immaturity, but AR is my home because we have the best group of people and I'm sick and tired of threads turning into complete childish nonsense. Yeah, new guys drive me crazy. but, you know what? We all were a "newbie" before. It gets tiresome. It's get annoying. I've watch the real true bro's/VETS, MODS,etc... take the time and point newbies in the right direction. To me it's a privledge to be on this board. It's a privledge for me to of made friends that not only trust me, but I trust them as well. So, lets not go out of our way to make fun of people. Lets prove to the world that AR is simply the best board there is.
ONE LAST THING:
PLEASE, DO NOT GIVE OUT ADIVSE THAT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. IT'S STARTING TO SCARE ME. I'VE SEEN ADVISE LATELY THAT REALLY COULD DO HARM to new guys. IT'S NOT GOOD!
I hope everyone understands what I'm trying to get across. I do NOT claim to be the smartest guy on the board. Hell, I'm not even close. I do know what it means to show respect, maturity and most off all try and give responsible advise. I WILL NEVER give advise unless I know what I'm talking about, and I hope that hold true for everyone else.
BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE,
