Honestly... we look at how long they have been in business, personal knowlege of the company, referalls, etc... They are NOT however on this list permanently. If we get complaints, they will be investigated and if they have fallen out of line, they will be removed.

I liked the idea of the list. I'd recommend, if possible, you add names/address/phone of sources that sell legit supplements too (e.g. Whey Protein, Creatine, Glutamine etc). I have heard from a colleague from Egypt that finding such legit supplements there is very difficult and I assume that is the case in many third world countries.Originally Posted by system admin

What do you think this is for?

I don't really understand what everyone is pissing and moaning about, initially I did think it was a bit odd that it just appeared unannounced, but then had it been announced it might not have stirred up quite such a whirlwind of AR drama & conspiracy theories
I have come up with a groundbreaking idea for all those who think it is suspicious - DON'T CLICK ON IT!

Change on A.R has always been a bitch. When the name was changed from Ananbolic-Review.com to Steroid.com people bitched. When sigs became a VET/MOD privilege people bitched, now a banner (an ugly ass one at that, sorry BC but it's true)pops up, people are bitching.
Honestly the banner placement could be a little more discreet for those who need their A.R fix at work.
I'd also like to say again that as members of staff we should NOT be pushing any one source because it might get us free gear or a discount, in fact the site owner, the same assholewho approved the banner, frowns on it because it does not have the members best interests at heart.

It was more of the sudden shift that caught me off guard. This was not an open-source website...seemed to be the underlying principal which defined this site. In fact many members were booted for even asking for a source. But when a sorce is put right on top of the forum, it shifted the whole understanding of this wesite. Without explaing how or why the rules have changed.
I as anyone who sees those banners thinks, yea right click here pay $50 and well give you someing that looks like a source or supplements that look like a souce ect....But that does not appear to be the case. *ell I'd have told them to buy the book that has this source already listed in it???
The webpage did say "Steroids" at the top of the page (in rather large font), besides most employers can see which webpages your looking at anyhow.
I dont blame the administrators for increasing their bottom line, it was more the confuson that was created in the shift...."Are we an open source or not"?
Kind of negated the creditability of what this site stood for.
Im sure sombody somewhere can pull the plug on this site and that would be it, but it's not only the plug which makes this site what it is its the people that contribuite. Yes, somone else owns this "game" but without the players their is no "game"
In the end it wont change much, *ell every time some joker asks for a source all ya gotta do is tell them to scroll up!!!!!!

Oh well It is what it is.....Ar is not going to take it down....It has always been their in another form...
But AR Big "B" it just not fair! I had to work hard for my source and to have his trust.....Now it seems if you can find the right one in Canada, Uk, South Africa or China you are good But at your "OWN RISK"...just as we all have done over the years...Especially the USA Peps.....
Problem is its to easy...Im here to learn and teach! Im not here to push my guy!....and Since I have been here I have NEVER been asked for a source nor have I have ASKED any Mods or Vets for one..I already had mine.

Okay....this is a free site...I do not know of many other free sites you can go to and get this kind of info....make you wonder?????
anyway....whatever B needs to do its your site and your business...I do not support the banner....Its to flashy bro! it looks like a scam by the way it jumps at you
Owner
The banner is tacky and it looks like shit.. I know. BUT, it has done its job. We may make it a tad smaller.
bc
Anabolic Member
If anything I'de suggest resizing it; make it 100 px tall, the width is fine at 453 px., It'll look better that way. Thats about it from this corner.

i hope by a tab you mean about 90% smaller!

I sent you a quicky PM admin.
I out like a jillion or a bazillion suggestions in it on your banner.
freetime rocks...
Anabolic Member
It looks alittle out of place, since you have that cool banner for the Steroid book, and the banner for allsportsnutrition looks good too. Nothing acouple of minutes in photo shop couldn't fix. I'm still learning the program, but I'm sure another member on the board would be able to come up with something for you. I'll see if I can find someone to come-up with a design for you. I'll PM you if one of my buds makes something good.

just curious...BC, u put a list of Intl suppliers in countries where its legal to obtain juice, but what if someone on list goes to the dark side? look what happend over at eehhhlllight.. ya, one of the biggest in the game went dark and everyone blamed the board for backin them...now im not saying YOU PErsonally back the suppliers or any mods, but then again, people will still point in the direction they got the info from?

Junior Member
ohh and to those others claimin its all about dinero? well, bills have to be paid too, as much as this site gets traffic and rolls smoothly, it does cost alot of bandwidth...ive seen other boards w/ less traffic run sorrier than shit!
also, if it was about money, BC could open up a secure "source" section and just rake up the source fees and easily quadruple the amount his getting from sellin supplier list..

Has anyone here heard of a website called ********.com, it was a marijuana website, the most popular one on the net and they started selling marijuana growing equipment and seeds, and everything on how to grow, seem like this site is the exact same thing as that site except for steroids, and that site got shut down and the owner is on trial right now, hope that doesnt happen to this site
Anabolic Member
Knowledge is free as air my friend.
Everyone has the freedom of speech in this country. Just because you may not like the idea, doesn't mean the site can be shut down. The Constitution doesn't protect feelings if someone gets butthurt.

I agree with maybe minimizing the banner a bit and putting it in a more discreet link placement. I always check in on here at my girls work in the morning, before i head to work. And her office has alot of traffic behind me so it would just be a bit easier.
Owner
We cant get shut down... we are not doing anything wrong or ilegal. We are not going anywhere. MANY other sites BEFORE this one would be shut down. Hell.. There are sites that have been up for years while doing ilegal shit. What we are doing at AR breaks no laws.
