I was thinking about some of the older threads on EF -- back when a few members might recall as the "good old days." A few things came to mind.
Besides daily flame fests (which are almost non existant now) there were "the experts." One in particular was called "Fonz." Some of his inimitable wisdom included cutting and pasting reports, studies, even ads, and claiming it as his own evaluation. He also suggested that Anavarr actually HEALED the liver. (Really, no lie). He claimed that Androgel was non supressive. And people hung on his every word.
Then there was a guy named Citrucide who decided the world should be only as he wanted it. He would delete and REWRITE threads to make it look like the poster said something that CItrucide wanted. No one stopped him. Yes, hard to believe, I know.
The topic of DNP was discussed in a way that made it seem completely safe. There were even reported deaths of some members followed by posts with "R.I.P bro" from the very morons who encouraged the cause. Thankfully everyone here now knows you have to be a flaming retard to use DNP.
The recomendation of a gram of juice for a first timer was commonplace.
Insulin use was rampant and encouraged, even for beginners.
I won't even get into the AF boys and their absurd advice and imbicilic psuedoscientific trivil.
This board has become like Times Square -- a renewed, thriving neighborhood that at one time seemed hopeless. Yet, there will always be a clueless few who thought the old way was better. It wasn't. Today, EF outshines every AAS board on the net.
I don't have all the answers but I try to employ logic, safety and good health as the main conponent in bodybuilding wheater you use steroids or not and I think anyone, everyone, who chooses to give advice has a responsibility to do so with a sense of caution in mind. All the vets and regulars here do an amazing job and deserve major props. The end result is a smarter board, better information, better results, and less (next to zero) casualities.
Just thought I'd get that out.
