+ 16 Karma (must read)
I've read through a lot of these forums and all I've came to realize is that this site is only here for 1 reason and that is to help educate beginners and our vets on the use of anabolic steroids, updates on new protocols and focusing on the safety of everyone! I've seen that a lot of people are complaining and are upset that they don't have much Karma, which I understand completely, and that all their helpful comments and educational forum topics are going unnoticed. "Nobody is recognizing us for our help". I've even seen a comment saying they were done "trying" to get Karma and just keeping to themselves. We'll I don't think any of us should care one single bit about what our "Karma Rating" is. We are not here for Karma. We are here to help everyone we can. Educate beginners from doing things harmful to themselves. We've seen it a thousand times "1st cycle Tren and a gram of Test E a week, more is better right?" and I'm sure 90% of us have almost made very stupid decisions including myself. WHAT STOPPED US? My guess is that a lot of us found this site before our fist cycle. We posted our cycle and got ripped a new asshole by the seasoned vets that only ripped us a new one to protect us from something very stupid. Then we changed our cycle and guess what? IT KICKED F****** A**! We used an A.I. and low dose test. We used caber with 19nors. We realized that just Nolva PCT isn't enough. People have DIED from the use of anabolic steroids guys! Do not give up on helping people on EROIDS just because were not getting Karma. Karma or no Karma keep helping! I wasn't lucky enough to find this site in the beginning. I was lucky enough to find it as soon as I did before I made more stupid decisions though. I even drilled some vets after posting a cycle I thought was "perfect" and told them they were wrong. I was wrong. This site proved it. I did research on this site alone and found every answer I needed. Karma is great. We all want it! We all want to be looked at as "vets". The only way to get it is to keep trying, keep helping, keep informing everyone that will listen. We are all here to help. We are not here for Karma, that is just a bonus. There's a bigger picture. This isn't Tylenol were messing with. Karma needs to come last for everyone. Help first. I don't doubt for one second that this site has saved lives. Please think about this. Trust me I want some Karma too but with Karma or not I get full access to this site. To the help, the vets, the beginners and to the sources to add to my own educated stash. Over time you will get to "vote" and give out Karma but until then please remember why we are all here.

Karma should be secondary to all members. Personally, since joining I visit the site everyday to learn as much as possible and to see what new information and/or topics have been posted.
I do look at the Karma rating of each members post and trust that the people with the higher ratings at a minimum these are more experienced individuals who are more educated then myself on this subject. However, I'm sure there are a number of members who are new who very well might be very experiences in this subject matter as well. Either way the information is very educational and will aid me greatly in my next (only second) cycle. My first, as a very inexperienced user is just 80mg of var daily for 8 weeks. I am currently in week 4.
I look forward to the continued learning process. Thanks to all.
P.S. I would Up vote your post, but I have yet to earn enough Karma. LOL
Thank you brother and good luck here on eroids!
I don't care what people see me as. I made an eroids account for myself, to be able to learn more and make research a bit easier, but not for an ego boost. The only reason I'd like to have more karma is so I can up-vote other people, when they say something that I believe is truly helpful. However, I don't know jack shit compared to most of the vets on here, so maybe it's a good thing that I can't up-vote people lol... It's a system that I wish I didn't have to follow, but it's one that works.
and btw... I love eroids!!!
Exactly. Good luck on your journey brother!
cbogan1i think its a bitch move to take karma from someone who wasnt that outta line!!! i started off with -6 karma for telling a senior member "go take your clomid and quit being bitchy" ... yea i prolly shouldnt of said that but its over and done with. I finally had 4 pts today and someone took 2 points from me earlier for nothing. i havent said shit to anyone lately and apologized for the 1st comment about the clomid. if u have a problem with someone msg them...if not go to the gym and workout!!!!!!!!!!
The whole point to this forum was to have people realize that we are not here for karma but to help others and you're going to ruin the entire positive atmosphere that MY post has created and brought to others?! You're here for no fucking good bro. Fuck you and get the fuck off my fucking forum.
Are you really going to complain in every thread? You insulted about 5 different members. You disrespected me. U posted a dumb fb thing in the wrong section. You earned that negative karma
Fucking prick. Knock some more off him since he cares so fucking much.
duplicate
People are bitches on here about giving out Karma. Good post.
I really appreciate this post. I'm a noob, I have a load to learn and reading this post and seeing forties my confidence in this post. I hope I never underestimate the power of AAS - they can be wonderfully transformative but they also can cause substantial damage if misused. Personally I'm here to learn and hopefully someday help others myself - irrespective of the amount of Karma points I earn. Thank you for your insite!
I PMd you and wrote ya. Waiting to see your cycle bro!
Sorry man - I totally forgot. Been slamed at work. Let me put it in now. Thanks again bro!
Sorry for the typos! I meant to post reading this fotifies my confidence...
Thank you for reading. Good luck bro! Welcome to eroids!
I do agree with the majority of your post; I just wish I had enough karma to rate vendors and give props to the ones that have earned it. All good things in time though...
You'll get they bro. Just take your time.
Kudos Kyle!
Thank you, thank you!
Im a young athlete looking for some education. This is my first time every with anything like this. Virgin if you will, took the first step in ordering supplies waiting on my shipment. Questions like when, where to pin, and how much. HELP!
Kyle. Thanks for posting this. This site has been my new sanctuary and its guys like you that make a difference. I am finally on the mend after a long time of chronic stress. By the way, your avatar, I just have to say you have a really nice ass bud. If I were gay I would hit that. That has got to be your wife or girl friend bro. That is just too smooth.
Ha ha thanks for all of those compliments! It is a very nice butt!
shirlsguyAlso, the people who need help most, when we take that first step and post on the forum.... well, we have below six and can't +1 our new mentors at that time. You just can't get Karma from a newb so it is a humanitarian effort, one that is rewarding. Yeah, I get ripped up often, and it HAS saved me from some big mistakes... though I am still crash-test-dummy 4737 sir!
Eroids saved my butt too bro!
Great Post, I joined back in 2011, and made a dumb post talking asking about sources-
My Karma went negative, obviously- but the amount of information i've learned over the past two years from you guys has been amazing, i thank everyone who has posted bloods, reviews, or helped other people on things because we all read it and learn from it, I'm able to run cycles safe now and have the knowledge to help others who need it.
Weve all been there bro. Glad you're here!
I see you have reversed course bro. We all are on a journey. Thanks for sharing your story. +1
We've all been there. Glad your here.
Valid point. Really well stated .
Thank you
Hey Kyle well done bro...what an honest post mate.i loved it Bcuz I too came here on eroid wen i was screwed up and people here are soo helpful though they bcom abusive at some time but I have googled numbers of forums but no one can beat eroid it's simply awesome.When I joined I was litrally illiterate about AAS but I have learnt soo much from here...I am from India and you knw purchasing ANY damn steroid is as easy as you purchase a burger from McDonald ....in my gym numbers of people using steroid but no one aware of PCT and I feel soo bad for them.i try to educate them as much as I knw but condition here in India is really worse.But I must say that am the lucky one to be there on Eroid.Best thing is When you ask any question you will get quick response from so many experienced people.GOD BLESS YOU ALL LOVE YOU GUYZZZ :))
I'm glad you are here bro. Learn learn and teach!
good post freak......anyway back to business hit me up some karma so i can get free suff ..lol
Lol because that's what its all about!
I'm new to the site, but what you said makes you realize there is a bigger picture out there than just karma. When I read this it made me realize that this is exactly why I joined. Being a beginner to the nation there is a lot I have to learn and a lot that I've been misinformed about. My main goal from all of this is to build my basics that I already know and to educate myself for the future. Thanks man good read
Enjoy eRoids!
Most definitely
I'm glad I read this post, certainly a very useful post.
thanks
Great post. I for one am thinkful I came across this site. I was going to stack oil for my first cycle based off of what some gym buddy's told me. After posting a forum on here beginner to stacking I met some really cool dudes that gave me some great advise. Talked me out of doing something that might have caused me more harm than good.
Thank you. Saved me from some damage also. I'm just hoping most people stay true to helping and not to getting Karma and free shit, ya know?
Great post man. Very insightful.
Nice post bro. I'm not sure what happened recently but since the end of the EBC, my points have more than doubled. I have made a few posts, put up some pics, made some reviews and never got many Karma points. It was cool to be able to vote on sources as I have tried several, but I've never been in it for the points. I feel I am still learning & there many people here that are much more knowledgeable than myself, however I do find some posts that have not had 15 people say the same thing that I would say, so I offer my $.02. So often when I think of adding a reply, someone else has already answered the question, given advice and I feel my input is a bit redundant. You're right Karma is not the objective, it's cool, but right now I'm kinda feeling undeserving of all the points I received. I just did what I do, go to gym, lift weights, eat right(most of the time, maybe eat better than I used to is more appropriate, try to improve my body/health with some synthetic assistance & educate my self on how to do it better/safer. If I am able to share some experience/opinion with another along the way...I'm all in!
Ok so the next morning after this post, my points did change...the went from some exaggerated number to where they were a week ago or at least very close. I'm still good, still all in!!
EXACTLY! We don't help others for karma. We do it because we have been there and we care.
Anonit's all about contributions.. this is not the typical bodybuilding forum, as you well know. we are a community comprised of diverse groups of individuals. simply creating threads or posting comments does not necessarily constitute an award.. yes, sometimes posts go unlooked. i have a couple posts in my forums that took me several hours to write, and i didn't even get the first reply to. no big deal.. for me, it's about taking what i have learned and passing that knowledge on to the next person so that they can hopefully grow from it. we get out of things what we put into them. continue making contributions.. learn and grow and help others grow, and the karma will come.
karma is good for two things imo.
getting enough to vote
getting it high enough to get free stuff
Free stuff? The voting for sure! We've got to support our sources! But my point is simple. I'm just saying we shouldn't be here for just for that. Our number #1 priority should be to help others stay safe, give direction, like fast48 said to help other achieve their goals. But yeah! Karma is still great.
For anyone who gave me Karma, Thank you very much. But +5 is more then enough to make me extremely happy. I feel that's more then what I deserve. I've insulted some pretty amazing vets on here and I'm just trying to give back exactly like they were trying to do for me and for this site. Turning a new leaf. Call it a new years resolution! Again thank you for the Karma.
AnonGreat Post!
Great post bro. I've been here over a year, I have 124 karma. I know guys that have been here half my time and have double my karma lol. It's not a big deal, they have just been a little more active than I have and they earned it. I earned every single point I have, well I like to think so at least. Your right though its all about helping people, maybe these ppl bitching, aren't getting the karma they feel they deserve because they are trying too hard to just get karma and its noticeable...? I know that I always give a point where it's due, now and then ill give a thumbs down if someone is being retarded. But it's about the message not the reward. Just like the holidays, it's about giving not receiving. If you give great advice every day, you are for sure going to get some points all in due time. Lets all just keep progressing
So far this is the only good advise I've ever given. May be the only advise I've given period so far. After a big confrontation I had with some members and very educated vets (which I was on the retarded end of) I decided to read, read and read some more instead of open my mouth with advise I don't believe I'm at par to give yet. If it was an emergency like "Hey I'm 16yo, do I just shoot the whole bottle of Tren at once?" I'll probably step in but as for now I really thought I new it all and I don't know shit compared to some of these guys. My free time is devoted to research and 90% of it is done on here (I trust a lot of the people on here I've gotten to know more then Google). This site is so crammed full of personal experiences, trial-by-error's, tips, do's and don'ts, it's insane! Everyday I check my profile I learn something new... EVERY TIME! I love it. Great site. Best on the web. This site is a HUGE reason people are doing things right.
