    If people do not like his AAS advice and think it is irresponsible or wrong/fake than simply refute it in that thread. Pretty simple, thats what the board is made for isnt it? I will also say Tai is probably up there as the most knowledgeable person on the site. Dont think so? Well you clearly dont know him as well as I nor have spoken with him in a serious converation about bodybuilding/nutrition/AAS/peptides.

    This forum is a public forum, we give our advice out based on PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, and Tai does just that. He runs higher doses than some people....well thats his personal experience. If people choose to use his personal experience as their baseline for cycles they are ignorant and its truly their prerogative. All those obvious facts aside that everyone should have already known but I have clearly stated for you all, I cant remember Tai ever ADVOCATING anyone else to use dosing regimines similar to his own. So he talks about his own experience with high doses...whats the big deal.

    I dont see how it brings the board down at all. If he wasnt around to do it someone else would be. There will ALWAYS be someone running higher doses than everyone else, thats a simple fact.

    To talk about his credibility is a personal attack, making personal attacks based on how well you know someone from an internet steroid forum is quite a laugh in itself. Personally, I have better things to do with my time than speculate as to whether I think someone (who I have never met and I see post on an internet board) is truly running the doses they say they are.

    That is my view on what I have taken in after reading through everyones posts in this thread. I havent commented on his posts in the lounge because that is really going to be a matter of opinion for each individual. If you dont like his posts oh well, if you do thats great too.
    Well said.

    Tai's like adding a little spice to this board. Otherwise it gets a little bland.

    Newbs and product pushers get a little repetitive after a while.



    This forum went down when SC left and the rest of the Mods/Vets got banned/left. Then there's Nark, wtf?!

    This forum needs some majpr changes if it wants to get where it once was. The best board on the net, by far, for AS/diet/training experience/discourse.

    I cant help but think this forum took the direction of wanting more money, than what its members wanted.

    Anthony,

    I believe you know what most of the member's beef is about, if you don't I would be more than happy to tell you what I think it is in an e-mail. We know you have a lot of say-so in what happens on this board and I think the best way to handle it would be to have Brian come here and speak openly in a thread with the members, from new guys to veterans. I think in this thread everyone should be able to speak openly, without the fear of getting banned(within reason).

    This board gets more newbies than most others, so the board evolved to suit that.

    I have the advantage of working with pretty much all of the biggest boards, right now. When I first started writing here for Brian 2 years ago, he had no time to really talk to me because there was drama with the mods. On Elite in the last few months (and today), more than one mod has been given their walking papers. I've seen it on BB.com,MesRx, everywhere else that I'm financially tied. No board is perfect. I've seen 4-5 admin/Smod changes here, and about 3 full sets of mods in that time.

    Again, no board is perfect....but...here goes...

    What I can tell you is that here, on steroid.com, someone ****ed up; everyone with a colored username knows who ****ed up, they know what he's been up to behind the scenes, they know that person's name(s), and they want it to stop, and they want him to know that this shit was all totally his fault and his own doing, and this thread, and the million others which have been started about him are only his own fault. He's got himself to blame.

    He needs to man up, say he ****ed up (to the people who already know that he did) and cut the bullshit.

    That's the long and short of it.

    Everyone knows he ****ed up, everyone knows how, everyone wants less excuses and one sincere apology, and then I think we'll all move on. But honestly, when everyone knows you ****ed up and how you did it, denying it and deflecting it, and locking threads and all those reindeer games just makes everyone hate you. And right now, everyone hates the person who ****ed up, and it can all be solved with a sincere apology and cutting the shit in the future, and not playing that god-damn power card and power games anymore.

    That's the deal.

    Everyone will move on, and probably save Brian the headache (20 e-mails a day calling for that person's removal from the staff) involved, if that person who ****ed up just says it and apologizes, and stops playing games and doesn't do it again.

    I voted yes for Tai being able to post in the lounge.

    I've read quite a few pointless and borderline rude posts by him in the Q&A forum, and I've been flamed by him as well for posting for what to me and I'm sure many others was sensible advice. The lounge is a carefree atmosphere, and it suits his personality and we enjoy his posts here. Sometimes it does feel like you're walking on eggshells when he responds to your post or flames it though.

    I think some of the new members, like myself and a lot of others, that use this board need to be respected and not judged by Mods and Vets simply because we're new. I enjoy this site, the mods and vets do great work considering the circumstances and constant flood of new members. It's more about attitude and respect for eachother as a point of interest for things to improve I believe.

    Anthony... "those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" You've fcked up many times and I've never once seen you apoligize or admitt you were wrong. Now you're calling someone else out? lol

    For the record I don't even know what Hookers talking about, not do I care but, for someone who's been kicked off as many boards as he has....Has alot of nerve for calling out other ppl. Especially being you never gave me an answer neither via pm nor on the open board.

    Sorry but I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut on this one....

    Once that thread was moved to the one on one with the staff forum Anthony was no longer able to view it....That’s the reason he did not respond after the first few post....

    I do agree with you how ever that there needs to be some communication between you two to try and resolve the accusations that where made by Anthony against you....

    Anthony this is a very good post....The only thing that I might add would be that he has totaly tarnished his rep as far as I am concerened....I think that he has proven that he can not be unbiased and impartial when making desicions....I think that he should have his top dog postion revoked....Hell we are not suposto know his true idintaty yet he did a very poor job at hiding it....I think that he should step down or be relived of his duties....JMHO I dont see how he can possibale redeam him self....

    WTF do you think about what I said????

    P.S. Anthony for the most part I think you are a FUCKING arrogant dick head but you do know your shit and it appears that you are trying to be a more productive member of this board as of late....

    We really need that around here dude PLEASE keep helping out when you can....

    You're correct on all accounts. I try to not step in to board politics for the most part because it's not productive. However, when it gets to the point where I am getting multiple e-mails every day, then I feel like I have to step in and do something.

I know he is a busy dude, but at the end of the day its the members here who are generating his income and he should be mindfull of that
    I actually have to comment in this, as I just saw it.

    Previously, the Admins here would use their influence in the industry (they run the show at the worlds largest steroid board) to get free stuff from sources, source behind the scenes, create their own spin-off site, or make all of their friends mods/vets. The mods were little better.

    That's why a system of going to admins whose identity was meant to be unknown was adopted. They're paid, and unlike volunteer admins, they do not have to try to make their time worthwhile by using their influence to benefit them in the steroid world. They're meant to run the site and not be involved in politics at all, nor act out of personal benefit or based on their personal feelings.

    Originally there were 4.

    Since that time, we've lost an admin who kept asking sponsors for discounts and all that, and another for a board-unrelated reason.

    Now, we have 2 left. One is messing up, not because the system doesn't work, but rather because it wasn't followed. We lose admins when they don't follow the system, not because the system doesn't work.

    Instead of an admin who is seen but not heard, and who maintains anonymity in the steroid world, we have one who is going against the entire premise that the position was created for. We all know who the admin is, we all know what kind of gear that admin uses, who gives that admin freebies, who he buys GH from, etc...

    We know more about that admin than any previous one, ever.

    The problem isn't Brian's system of paid/anonymous admins, the problem is that the person in question has not done the job to the description that was outlined in the beginning.

    Anthony this is a very good post....The only thing that I might add would be that he has totaly tarnished his rep as far as I am concerened....I think that he has proven that he can not be unbiased and impartial when making desicions....I think that he should have his top dog postion revoked....Hell we are not suposto know his true idintaty yet he did a very poor job at hiding it....I think that he should step down or be relived of his duties....JMHO I dont see how he can possibale redeam him self....

    WTF do you think about what I said????
    I agree. The question is can the other admin handle the entire site alone?

    I think that's probable, if everyone is very helpful in sending that admin PMs, and reporting threads.

    The way things work:

    You want to talk to someone, you contact them. Not the other way around.

    Personally, I have nothing to really say to you, nor any interest in what you have to say. Hence, I have not contacted you.

    Oh...by the way...nobody cares that you're a bouncer. It's not that difficult, and you don't have to start a million threads on it.

    We get it. You're a bouncer.

    It's not "RoadHouse", and if they ask you to carry kegs up from the basement, just do it. It's unsiklled labor, mostly performed by chubby guys with barbed wire arm tattoos, who get laid occasionally by drunk girls.

    Get over it.

    Nobody cares. It doesn't make you look cool or tough to start a million threads on being a bouncer. It makes you look like a douche who can't seem to handle the idea of standing by a door and asking for ID, or standing by a pool table sweating, or by a staircase with a flashlight.

    It's not rocket surgery.

    Previously, the Admins here would use their influence in the industry (they run the show at the worlds largest steroid board) to get free stuff from sources, source behind the scenes, create their own spin-off site, or make all of their friends mods/vets. The mods were little better.

    That's why a system of going to admins whose identity was meant to be unknown was adopted. They're paid, and unlike volunteer admins, they do not have to try to make their time worthwhile by using their influence to benefit them in the steroid world. They're meant to run the site and not be involved in politics at all, nor act out of personal benefit or based on their personal feelings.

    Originally there were 4.

    Since that time, we've lost an admin who kept asking sponsors for discounts and all that, and another for a board-unrelated reason.

    Now, we have 2 left. One is messing up, not because the system doesn't work, but rather because it wasn't followed. We lose admins when they don't follow the system, not because the system doesn't work.

    Instead of an admin who is seen but not heard, and who maintains anonymity in the steroid world, we have one who is going against the entire premise that the position was created for. We all know who the admin is, we all know what kind of gear that admin uses, who gives that admin freebies, who he buys GH from, etc...

    We know more about that admin than any previous one, ever.

    The problem isn't Brian's system of paid/anonymous admins, the problem is that the person in question has not done the job to the description that was outlined in the beginning.



    I agree. The question is can the other admin handle the entire site alone?

    I think that's probable, if everyone is very helpful in sending that admin PMs, and reporting threads.
    Anthony I kind of agree with what you are saying but as you have already pointed out the admins are not really anonymous. Obviously ~admin~ dissapeared sometime ago for whatever reason, but the other two I can guarantee you all the monitors can name, simply because everyone has a specific writing style, the time they logon and lots of other reasons, but whatever they havnt done a good job of staying anonymous. As for a single admin running the board, I dont think that will work as there are lots of threads and members that need attending to and these guys really dont apprear to be online all that much to be honest, sometimes we have to wait 24 hours to see an admin and get responses and leaving it to one guy will just be too much work. Also this is supposed to be a paid for position although god knows why, but whatever, surely Brian can pick a couple more people to replace what needs replacing. The other thing that is needed is an admin that covers time zones outside the USA, somebody that resides in Europe or Asia that can take care of the crap that goes on at night your time.

    OK, I realise this is nothing to do with the issue at hand (and quite why we are all avoiding saying his name is beyond me - we all know who it is) but while we're on the subject of board politics and putting things right - what are your thoughts on taking advantage of new members and effectively scamming them?

    http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?t=308810

    Surely deliberately leading someone to believe that something they are buying is one thing (steroids) when it is actually another (a load of shit) is scamming, no?

    What are your views on this Anthony?

    I have said it before I will say it again.....I think if you just gave some of the monitors who are already spending many many hours on here everyday LIMITED powers to at least Edit the SPAM and close or move threads to the one on one if they are questionable so *ADMIN* could look over when they are there, that would help out a lot

    No power to BAN or Suspend anyone, No hidden powers to get freebies, Just basic powers to finish up what we already do for FREE anyway..but JMHO

    I'm not for scamming anyone. That's why I don't do it. Currently I feel that every product I have on the market (my 3 books and 2 supps) are very worthwhile and I worked very hard on them.

    In the (sad) history of this board, however, many mods have scammed people. Einstein1905 and DaBull ran off with 5 figures, cash, of the members loot. A former member, Jackman, did the same, as have many people.

    Scamming should always be avoided. The example you're giving, with the link, is not scamming though. Scamming is taking money, saying you will provide something, then not providing that thing at that price.

    I know this is a delicate subject at best, but is there a chance for previously banned members to become unbanned?

    Or is it a case of banned once, banned forever?

    well the general rule has always been Once banned you are banned for life, but hey...stranger things happen.....

    If you have a concern about a banned member, you can PM admin to ask about it

    Oh...by the way...nobody cares that you're a bouncer. It's not that difficult, and you don't have to start a million threads on it.

    We get it. You're a bouncer.

    Hmm, well what if the buyer has been deliberately led to believe that they are getting steroids but they are not - surely that is the same thing.

On Elite in the last few months (and today), more than one mod has been given their walking papers. I've seen it on BB.com,MesRx, everywhere else that I'm financially tied. No board is perfect. I've seen 4-5 admin/Smod changes here, and about 3 full sets of mods in that time.

    Again, no board is perfect....but...here goes...

    What I can tell you is that here, on steroid.com, someone ****ed up; everyone with a colored username knows who ****ed up, they know what he's been up to behind the scenes, they know that person's name(s), and they want it to stop, and they want him to know that this shit was all totally his fault and his own doing, and this thread, and the million others which have been started about him are only his own fault. He's got himself to blame.

    He needs to man up, say he ****ed up (to the people who already know that he did) and cut the bullshit.

    That's the long and short of it.

    Everyone knows he ****ed up, everyone knows how, everyone wants less excuses and one sincere apology, and then I think we'll all move on. But honestly, when everyone knows you ****ed up and how you did it, denying it and deflecting it, and locking threads and all those reindeer games just makes everyone hate you. And right now, everyone hates the person who ****ed up, and it can all be solved with a sincere apology and cutting the shit in the future, and not playing that god-damn power card and power games anymore.

    That's the deal.

    Everyone will move on, and probably save Brian the headache (20 e-mails a day calling for that person's removal from the staff) involved, if that person who ****ed up just says it and apologizes, and stops playing games and doesn't do it again.
    ****ing hell...

    I agree with you Anthony....

    Wow.

    Wednesday the 19th of July 2007 is a strange day indeed.

    Well said.

    For the record I don't even know what Hookers talking about, not do I care but, for someone who's been kicked off as many boards as he has....Has alot of nerve for calling out other ppl. Especially being you never gave me an answer neither via pm nor on the open board.

    Sorry but I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut on this one....
    Yup....

    But...

    I'll refrain from commenting here I think.

    I cant agree here Anthony.

    Then why arnt they labelled Vitamins A, Vitamin B and Vitimin C. Why are they given fancy steroid names? Its kind of obvious really, by looking at the actual site. But **** it. Everyone's out to make some dollar some how, right?
