I have been on many boards, and I really like this one above many others. The members are helpful, and the response to questions is educated.

500 mg of test is a lot, but after doing research for a long time, I think it is a fair amount even for a begginer. If you are going to supress natural test levels, then you should make the supression worthwhile, it is just my opinion but 500 mg of test is not disproportionate.

But your real point is the atmosphere of the board, and in all honesty i think the atmosphere of the board has been excellent, but I am still new here, maybe I will change my mind like I did with bb.com.
