For you guys that are too tired and bored with the same monotonous questions how bout taking a break and letting someone else answer instead of the old "do your own research" before asking questions.......BULLSHIT !!! This is a great board and one of the special benefits has always been getting your questions answered quickly and intelligently no matter how "stupid" they may seem to some..... I almost feel guilty to ask anything anymore thinking I should go search for the answer elsewhere first....... Some of you guys think you have to comment on every single topic and therefore become irritated with the monotony of the questions.....please dont ruin this board....its always been a great place to get an answer and a quick, intelligent one at that.....if u dont like the topic or seen it too much, skip over it then. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrragin' IP: Logged |

I agree with you 100% Bro... I do however think that there are a few guys..one in particular that takes up alot of damn board space with questions he could easilly find on his own...and half arent even legible.. There is a ton of info on the web about A.S and this board is one of the best...no one should be afraid to post questions...but I think half the fun in learning at least for me is sitting here for hours and doing research... I see where our coming from Bro...and I think that hey..if you cant figure it out ask..but rest assured the best info is that you can summon from your own work... Later, WCP ------------------ IP: Logged |

I agree that yes it is a discussion board and that its not a search board, however, if everone just posted a question and then received an answer soon it would just become a constant re-circulation of information. By doing some resarch on your own, there is a posiblity that you may stumble upon something new or have a new take or angle on an old topic, ensuring that the information on this board is as dynamic as the industry at the center of discussion ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hey, I'm with you bros....there's some jokers on the board, easy to spot....everyone needs to just let their threads pass by....... Though I dont post too often, I'm here every day and read just about every thread....sometimes a person doesnt have alot of time to spend doing research like some of us......we should always give everyone a fair shake to even the silliest of questions, more often than not----your really helping someone out !

Good post and the search is a useful tool that should be utilized first, but sometimes you just need a "hell yeah" to make sure. deltman ------------------ IP: Logged |

The prblem that I have with stupid questions is when the same one is asked over and over again.Right now the worst offender is Aceguy....he always needs help and he needs it right now....and then he will repost the same question only in a differant manner....I guess to see if Mac ...E2 and ranger were lying to himthe first time.

I just hate to see a couple rotten apples ruin the whole apple tree. I only posted this cause I read one too many posts from a serious poster getting answered "go do a search"......why not just answer the question.... IP: Logged |

Fact is that if you ask an old question your more likely to have people ignore it. On the other hand if you ask an old question with a different, maybe more interesting angle, youll get more responses.avoid the same ol, same ol, same ol! IP: Logged |

well, thats kinda the point.......how does someone know their asking an old question, if they dont have the time to do some searching and would just like to take advantage of all the wisdom here. Less George decides to close the door to all newcomers, we're always gonna have redundancy here.... IP: Logged |

Heemaan is correct.!!! There are newcomers every single day. Aways asking is Deca or Test the way to go, or How much Chlomid and when should I use it. Perhaps the creation of a Newbie AS Discussion board with it's own "helpful" moderators to assist in the answering of questions and directing to valuable info is the key. Then no one under the status of "Pro BB" would be allowed to enter into the main room until they have had a chance to have all their newbie questions answered. Just a suggestion. ------------------ IP: Logged |

The way I see it is that this board is purely educational. Just like all teachers, you people ( at least the ones that know a few stuff ) teach what you know and it is going to be the same stuff basically. Yeah it might get a little annoying some times but that�s just the way it goes and don�t forget that you guys play an essential role here. Taking the time to answer a question that you might have answered millions of times is nothing to you but its priceless to someone who doesn�t know. Besides everyone started from the same place so I don�t understand why people get so irritated when someone asks a �common� question. I was thinking to put a site somewhere with the basic stuff so newbies like me could get a good start ( and I will do it ones I get some free time to put everything together). Yeah, maybe that�s the key to it, gather some info along with explaining some abbreviations and terms, we use here all the time, some do�s and dont�s and a lot of frustration could be resolved in that way IP: Logged |

I love the board. I remember being new. Not knowing what I was doing, and not knowing where to go for information. And yes... I think questions should be answered... and yes... I think people should do research. I don't think anyone should just come in and ask if steroids are really dangerous or not. I mean... get some basic info first. You can't come in here not knowing what the difference between test and EQ is, then ask someone to plan out your cycle. So Heemaan has a point. Don't blow people off. But damnit, if you're new... at least get some vague info before you post. IP: Logged |

Point well taken. I think most of the "do the research" replies come from newbies trying to get the recognition and not having to worry about giving bad advice. But seriously, if your not asking a question or giving advice, keep it to ICQ or something. IP: Logged |

I agree. those of you that are tired of the same ole questions, just don't answer them. The other guys can take care of them. If one person gets to out of hand, everbody will get sick of them and stop helping. IP: Logged |

i simply try to deminstrate some knowlege in my posts that show i've done some homework. i've noticed that when i show i've done some homework that you guys respect that and give much more detail when answering my questions. i won't just ask "what's a good cycle?" instead i will tell you what i'm planning on using, and what i would want out of the cycle (size, strength, or cutting) and ask for some opinions. anyway, if it's bothering the "members of the board" maybe would could set something up where the most asked questions have a site with the answers or maybe a link that could be inserted into the post? i'm sure there is a way to please both the newbies and the pro's. i know i've posted a lot of "somewhat" dumb questions and i like that fact that someone takes the time to answer. when i do post some of the "dumb" questions i always get a million emails stateing that they too wanted to post the same question but didn't want to get dogged by the other members. we were all newbies at some point, and for the newbies that are new to computers like i am, doing a search outside of this site can be frustrating.

My whole problem with people asking redundant is that they did not even think to look it up first. Why do we bump the newbie posts over and over and over? Because people are to lazy to learn how to do a search. I am here for knowledge. I read almost everything that E2, Macrophage, 2Thick, etc etc. Have to say. I know a great deal about drugs myself but I am a long way away from being a specialist about steroids. It is a cop out to say that maybe they didn't have time. It takes about the same time to post a topic or to do a search. Learn how to use the software. Also since we are getting our takes off. QUIT POSTING SHIT LIKE: HEY E2 READ THIS, HEY MACROPHAGE READ THIS, HEY WHOEVER READ THIS. If you want to ask a direct question of somebody then send them a goddamn EMAIL. Do not waste board space when a email is the true way to go. Platinum ------------------ IP: Logged |

I believe that it is true, that if you don't want to answer the same questions over and over, then don't answer them. Those that want to answer can. It's as simple as that my friends! But, on the same token, the newbies should come to understand that if they don't get an answer right away or even at all, then they shouldn't throw a hissy fit. Sometimes the same question can be asked in a completely different way. Use some creativity but get to the point. We are all here for the same reason, so lets just keep the respect. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Very true bro and I think it is a good point. I sometimes get quite mad at people for asking some questions. I guess it is the fina. As far as stupid questions go, there really aren't many stupid questions, in my opinion. This has some of the most knowledgeable people around and a lot of times other places have bad information that is not true. Newbies and all others post no matter what. All you might get is some person yelling at you over a computer. It is really no big deal. IP: Logged |

WE ALL SHOULD BE WILLING TO HELP THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO LEARN. NO ONE SHOULD BE FLAMMED FOR NEEDING INFORMATION. IT MAKES YOU LESS WILLING TO ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT VERY WELL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF ALL. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT THIS BOARD WAS ALL ABOUT. LIVE LONG AND LIVE LARGE........ IP: Logged |

I agree 100% with you heman there will always be someone asking questions covered previously but usually because they are new to all this. I remember all my questions I would doubt myself so I would ask the board if they thought my cycle was looking good. I guess my point is ask away we have a wealth of bros here to point you in the right direction. IP: Logged |
