For me atleast being a HUGE skeptic has helped. Perhaps it is living enough life to realize that if it sounds to good to be true then it usually is..there are and have been exceptions but they are few and far between. On the other hand if someone wants to get on ANY board and start off asking for someone to give them a source for gear without doing the proper research and asking a quesiton or 10 then they get what they pay for and deserve...

Just my 02

Maybe a good detailed FAQ or "how to get started" guide would be helpful?

Yea!

HAHAHA...look I'm new to this site as you all can tell, and I only joined to converse with some more folks. I have actually been looking on here at suppliers for months, hemmin and hawin about who's good and who's not, etc. etc. I don't even really remember how I happened upon this place, glad I did though. Guess I was doing some smart research. Can't have someone runnin' away with my money!! ANYWAY...the post cracked me up, hopefully we are all men here with a few exceptions and there is ABSOLUTELY no need for hand holding!!! It's a rough world man, be SMART!!!!

I read, studdied and asked questions for months it seemed before I ordered the first time. I asked the right questions though not "where" or"who" but more like how bad were the sides, is there "pip", how was the communication, how fast did it arrive whatever I could think of to determine the quality of product and supplier. As a result my first order was perfect and I have ordered from 6 different suppliers without a hiccup so far " knock on wood" hope I didnt just jynx myself,lol. The best advice I can give is dont be in a hurry, great gear is worth any amount of waiting, we are all getting spoiled (even me) and expect our gear in 3-5 days when a month or longer was a reasonable timeframe not so long ago. To me homies it is damn near impossible to get scammed on this site if you do your leg work, thats the gods honest truth, there are too many great stand up sources on here to get burned. Good luck and heed anything hllwdbdboy has to say, he helped me out alot in the beginning and doesn't just talk cause he like the sound of his words, he knows what time it is with this shit. Peace eroiders, my bros stay pumped!

I don't mean to sound like a dick but if someone is stupid enough to do something as potentially life changing as this without doing the research, they probably deserve any negative that may come with it.

It's worth the time to learn, not only will you get more out of it but you'll hopefully avoid the mistakes that countless others have made before you.

Crazy to think you would take someone else's advice on your cycle. I think it's imperative that you read everything you can about what your about to put in your body before you begin to ask anyone else what they think. There is tons of information on this site and appropriate places to have all questions answered. I feel bad for the mods, this must happen all the time.I myself see this shit all the time and I'm only on limited suppliers forums. Oh and while I'm here anyone think deca, test e, test p, anavar, anadrol, Tne, d ball and 40 lbs of whey protein a day would be good for my 1st cycle. also 1 more ? Do I put this huge needle all the way in my vein or just part way in, I don't like shots in the ass so figured it would be easier to shoot in my vein. Lmao

Its hard to get started on all this. There are a lot of people on here who are very clued up so you are the ones to ask. You have to put the time in to find the course you want to do, but without having done a course before or got sources you have to ask 'Where? What?' The problem you have is people just taking that information and not giving anything back.

im new to this site but not new to the roid game..i looked in on this site for a bout a week, read posts, crossed checked the sites and came to the conclusion that this is a very unique site. this is a place that any person..man or woman can come and get good quality sources and great info on many things...this board is ahead of its time...we as bodybuilders to just the dude in the gym who wants to stay in shape needs a place like this..my respect for this board grows by the day..this is a one of a kind place and i plan to be here as long as its up and maybe one day i will have your respect like you have mines....dogg

The last couple weeks it's been getting really bad. Every other post is where can I get this. It's really starting to grind my gear because I'd rather click on something interesting, useful (to me or other), or funny. Do some damn research and stop asking to be spoon fed. Shit there are people that will have been members four half an hour clogging up the forum asking where to get such n such.

I almost made this a separate post then came across this. This way I'm not clogging up the forum.
Now if you will excuse me I'm going to kick the neighbors trash cans over out of frustration.

Yep

ok thats understandable but when you did do you reasearch and all the top source are out off what you might be lookin 4 goin to the forum and asking for a nudge in the right dirrection is what you should do and once info is given its up to you to do the dudilligence to reacerch .. there semms to be a shortage on winny tabs ive looked so to ask wouldnt be out of the question ..i hope cause i posted allready just no i but in some time it seems the good source are out

Haha
Somebody thought I was working witha certain source because I said good things and defended that particular guys business. It's best to learn the pattern it seems of the stores caus they come and go. Sometimes they leave with ALL orders filled and come back (H1.....NDg).
Sometimes they get pinched or run away with your money. Either way u gotta believe the "trust no one," motto and ween the good from the bad and watch the pattern that I'm still learning.

To many dumbshits cant read rules

APPLAUSE OK this use common sense speech gets old but damn, it is the same thing day in and day out. to many people want the right now life without ever putting in the work. like vocor said, if you dont have the discipline to educate yourself you probably wont do a proper cycle either and should just stay away. its not a magic pill you still have to put in work and educating yourself is the first step in that putting in work process. But thanks for reminding us to remind them.

Honestly, if you are on this site AND asking for source refs you are WAY TOO LAZY for AAS. DO NOT TRY AAS. YOU do NOT have the discipline for it.
When you do get some discipline and basic, basic search and research skills, come back, "Search" for answers, and ask intelligent questions.

LOL honestly if your on this site and you cant find a source without asking anyone. Then i cant imagine how u get thru life. The answers are right infront of you if you would take the time to look. I been a member for 3 days or so and I found a good solid amount of sources already. Like the MOD said stop being lazy. Are u that lazy in the GYM?

Well said, hell when I first started the shit was coming from Mexico, talk about getting ripped off .. They should feel lucky they found this place, just like u said just do some reading its not that hard...

Bingo !!!!!!!! Hollywood u need to sticky this shit! Awesome write up.

Or they could be someone under time contrains from their commanding office to make a quick bust.

The best information is the information you've gathered yourself.

perfectly stated... now just hope they arent too lazy to read this post.

On the money post right there wood,how can BUYER BEWARE be written any clearer
