Rock_Man Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 345)	posted March 20, 2000 11:40 PM Suddenly this board is getting riddled with flames and rediculous questions. I have a pretty good idea as to why it's happening. But doe's anyone else see what's going on? ------------------ Rock On! IP: Logged

DianaBallBusta Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 425)	posted March 20, 2000 11:53 PM I've noticed it too man. It's all the newbies. this board is growing every day and alot of people have no idea what its all about. It's not their fault but it really does get frustrating. We just gotta keep bumping up those newbie posts and hope they acknowledge them. ------------------ "Get Juiced and Stay Loyal" IP: Logged
Rock_Man Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 345)	posted March 21, 2000 12:05 AM I think we also need to be sure we keep the brotherhood here under good eye. I have a really bad feeling that there will be some bad news headed this way soon. A couple other boards have decided to put a charge to thier memberships. All the losers will be seeking refuge here. Let's be sure to keep it kewl here with all us bro's. Just letting you know I like it here, and want to keep it the real place to be!! ------------------ Rock On! IP: Logged
E2 Moderator (Total posts: 1566)	posted March 21, 2000 12:18 AM I'm sure all of us together can keep this board as good as it is. I'd have to agree with the flames going up, lets keep it to a min guys. IP: Logged
Chris Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 21)	posted March 21, 2000 12:19 AM Just my 2 cents and from my perspective and as a "Newbie". I think its Spring Break. I know people go away to Spring Break to other country's were they can purchase Gear, and at least for me, they come back looking for information on the gear. A true Newbie...and glad I found this stie, Chris IP: Logged
Mr. T Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 216)	posted March 21, 2000 12:32 AM I caught a couple posts on other boards trying to recruit people to flame other boards. I think it was Bigsport. I ended up their on a link. What a joke- IP: Logged

MattTheSkywalker Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 370)	posted March 21, 2000 01:17 AM The condition is true of the majority of discussion boards, whatever the topic. Those of us who frequent the board (and the mods) are the ones who can influence the newer people to a large extent. Some are just jackasses but they usually go away soon enough. Matt Matt IP: Logged
ZEUS Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 5)	posted March 21, 2000 02:48 AM As An Old "Newbie", I have to say...... I depend like hell on this board and the moderators. I have no time for dumb ass questions that could be answered in the archives if they would just take the time to go through it. Unfortunately excitement comes to kids with toys, and a first cycle in hand is a toy to them! Therefore If I have to pay to be here, I WILL! But to all those dumb ass kids with old ass questions....... READING IS FUNDA- "MENTAL"! Duh.. ZEUS IP: Logged
deltman Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 58)	posted March 21, 2000 05:20 AM Here's my take on the situation. This board is an awesome source of info, and has become my choice for knowledge above all other boards. And many newbies are finding this out. Combine this with the fact that the search engine doesn't always work, and the archives aren't accessible for the most part. I usually get "file not found" when I go to the archives. I would be more than willing to pay a fee to obtain the info here.......it's priceless. Just a thought to all newbies out there, once you see some info you need to remember, either print it out or start a log book. That's the method I use and it works great. This board is the one!!!!!!! deltman IP: Logged
Bloodtide Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 7)	posted March 21, 2000 09:07 AM I checked this board for months before I signed on, Theres no excuse for some of the stuff going on now (If you can read)...we've attracted a few of the mentally challenged but they'll go away! ------------------ "We forge our bodies through the fire of our will" IP: Logged
el cubano Moderator (Total posts: 268)	posted March 21, 2000 09:27 AM Sorry, I've been slacking off on the deleting lately. There has been flames and crap going on for a while but I just deleted them before most of you got to read them. ------------------ The Cuban IP: Logged
Lou64 Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 10)	posted March 21, 2000 09:41 AM I must say that this board has help me tremdously. El Cubano my hats off to you and all your help. In 1 year Ive done 2 cycles, went from 210 to 260. Everbody I meet ask me which football team I play for. All this came from all the knowledge Ive gain from this board and all the sleepless nights Ive done my homework. To any newbie, which all of us at one point were, READ, READ, READ, and then READ some more. Thats the only way to learn. And AFTER reading and researching, if there is something you dont understand then ask. Hell even the Pro's have personal trainers and people they have at their disposal. IP: Logged
t48 Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 12)	posted March 21, 2000 12:11 PM I'm also a newbie on the board, but I tend to read a hell of a lot more than I post. Those that would ask stupid questions in the gym are even more likely to ask them online cause there is no chance they can get slapped (at least the kind of slap that hurts.) Life is a learning process so soak it up! Ask questions only after you have the knowledge to understand an answer you may get. IP: Logged
scourge1 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 155)	posted March 21, 2000 12:25 PM I've been here for a little while and while I don't read every post like I used to, I haven't seen alot of stupidity going on. I've seen some immature stuff, indeed. But nothing too stupid. What I do see is a couple of relatively newer guys telling newbies (with valid though repeated questions) to go search. How hard is it to either preply with a couple words on winstrol/fina/injecting instead of wasting bandwidth by telling someone to go run a search? Basically, if your not asking a question or imparting knowledge or experience, skip over the thread. IP: Logged
Mr. Nobody Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 99)	posted March 21, 2000 12:26 PM Unfortunetely, I think there is a shelf live for a message board, after a while all interesting questions had been asked and aswered. Then, the shit starts, unless there are major break-thoughs in science and more interesting research to discuss, you end up in a dead end, but you can prolong it. If replies are denied to redundend questions they will sink to the bottom, like my shit in the toilet. IP: Logged
Vlad67 Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 33)	posted March 21, 2000 12:51 PM If we put some general courtesy guidelines on the intro page regarding starting threads. Such as; 1. Before you post ask yourself - did I search the archives - will this post help me or my bros - am i doing something that i have seen others get flamed for. - is this something personal for anoter board member that I could e-mail .... just a thought....

TEXASLFTR Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 14)	posted March 21, 2000 02:02 PM Once again I am with the majority here. My posts are so few because if you attempt to do a little research your questions can usually be answered. But that would be to easy for some people and they want their shit handed to them with a little frosting on top. Keep up the good work moderators, and for those of us who continue to depend on this board for vital information stay hard. IP: Logged

Mr. T Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 216)	posted March 21, 2000 05:24 PM I agree with scourge1, I think too many members are flamed and sent back to the archives. I have no prob. with answering a question. After all, this is a discussion board. Somtimes, you just can't find what you are looking for in the search engine- IP: Logged
thiassi Amateur Bodybuilder (Total posts: 35)	posted March 21, 2000 06:07 PM I've got to think that the stupid question is the one not asked. When I tried roids in High School I didn't ask any body and divided my d-bol tabs into lots of 5 which I took every morning. I thought I was going to die. I wish I would have asked how to take them instead how just how much are they. L8R IP: Logged
BIGBADFKR Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 108)	posted March 21, 2000 06:34 PM there is too many newbies, asking stupid questions, when all they need to do is research it first. IP: Logged
Deepsquat Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 417)	posted March 21, 2000 11:08 PM I have 3-400 posts at the moment but I have only asked 2 questions! Less than 50 of my posts have been flames whoops I just added two more today ( both asked for juice) Sorry sometimes I just can't help myself. IP: Logged
scourge1 Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 155)	posted March 21, 2000 11:38 PM Won't get into the "purpose of the board" argument with bigadfkr. But rest assured, it should invalidate your last post. Sorry bro, but we're all here to learn and help each other. Although bigsport could use a few wiseguys... IP: Logged
