Wtf is wrong with you? It's a promo... free shit
Why the fuck are so many people whining about "not" making it into a promo. People are whining and bitching when they attempt to get in a promo and are either too late, too low of karma or did it wrong. It's free gear people. I'm seeing people on multiple promos burn sources because they didn't get a handout. Get a damn job. If you can't afford gear you can't afford food, if you can't afford food you should not be cycling. I had a talk with a new source throwing up a promo (a fucking ridiculously high $ one) and he said people (before the promo started but was posted) were actually demanding gear and bashing his site if they weren't going to make the cut. I had to explain to him our tight knit family and protective instincts with new sources while apologizing for the dick heads being dick heads. I have not been here a super long time but I've talked to a lot of you and god damn I'm glad I found this site but if this source bashing (a lot of you are fan boys of other sources) and also newb bashing keeps happening??? As tread_m said "Eroids will depreciate". The quality of this site is declining in some areas. Open your minds and be more accepting to new ideas and new... new everything.
This is not directed to anyone in particular. Nothing personal.

Purely due to the quality of some members imho...... and the only thing thats making eroids "Depreciate" is all the fkn woe stories that keep being brought to the forums.
Most posts lately have been pure fkn BS (much like this one).... i havnt leaned a single fkn thing from our forums in near 2wks due to the level of shite posts that are fk all to do with AAS or the lifestyle i live.
Maybe im being harsh but!.. im just sick to the back teeth of whiney whingy posts theres no positivity coming into the forums lately..... Cmon people step up your fkn game or are you just gonna leave it upto me to keep bringing the informative stuff ?????
Vikings get pissed off too dont you know............ :(
i was actually thinking about this post last night. the best reply i could come up with is, its that time of year again. its getting to bulking season, we got a shit ton of newbies asking the same questions that have been asked 10,000 other times, and some short tempered members who like some of us are irritated with the stupidity of some and go off on the newbs. i dont truly think its declining, i think things seem to go in "cycles" lol. as spring and summer approach with everyone out side it will get mellow and more concentrated in here, with the usual guys and a few newbies here and there. but just seems its that time of year for the guys who are just starting and dont read the rules and dont know how to contribute well coming in droves
I don't see any decline at all ! if we look at the facts look at all of the exposing that has been done and even members getting back money from a bad source I don't know if in the time I have been here I have ever seen that. Not to mention the mathematics of how big Eroids is now and yet, the source are get reeled in as well as the members in quicker fashion than I can remember.
I also believe in the last 6 months there has been a far greater smashing of fan boy activity then ever before, Because now do to all the post from the mods about it other members are not afraid to come against it without reprisals.
I would really like to see statistical proof of its decline. Because I cannot fine it!
AnonI see the optimism!!! Yeah!
I am a Eroids fan boy! Really though how can I complain for a place and people that have literally enabled me to do my job better and extend my ability to work! I am not joking at all this place with all the information and resources has absolutely made the world of difference for my health. Not to mention the great people here.
So to me it is perfect!
I for one like the promo's and have been jumping all over them if they have something I need or am interested in for a future cycle. I have used six different sources and so far no complaints. I love this site! If you are broke and are missing out on the promo's or something, well sucks to be you I guess.. lol
Exactly! But you also have integrity and don't pull shady shit. I really don't think there is a major problem with promos. It is a few people that make a big smell with pulling shady shit. I have benefited from promos and so have many. It is a win when win when all parties are above board with it.
There is NO decline ... i think you mis- understood the first sentance was a "quote" from the OPs post.
My dominant comment was outlining the "lack" of imformative posts these days towards a few months ago.
Your right my bad damn dehydration lol. Well that is why we need you back on the boards because lets face it how many real experts are floating around here
lol.. no worries bro....... i try my damndest to fit as much as possible into eroids but some days god just doesnt supply enough hours in the day brother.
I know brother! You do more than enough if members are paying attention! I have more advice from you that came from responding to a someone's post than one could get anywhere. People just have to pay close attention when vets comment.
I said how some treat newbs for questions they ask and how some react to promos. That's where I think things need to change. Yes the site is prospering in most areas, I did not deny that.
Yeah I am not accusing you. That has always been an issue about newbs getting treated shitty when asking questions at least since I have been here and my date on my page is not accurate. But since the mods and other vets started cracking down on that is has lessened substantially form before.
See it not like what you are writing is wrong but it is all from perspective. If you have been here longer you can see improvements. But if I just landed here I may see more what still needs to be dealt with. As far as members trying to screw over sources well my take is the source needs to be tough if they want to get into this game. If they get blackmailed they should fry those bastards openly or send the proof to a mod for banning. This shit has been dealt with swiftly in the past when members try to fake labs to get free gear.
Your observations could be dead on about still on going problems but at the same time not add up to a decline in any way. I am a numbers and strategic planning kind of person, so when planning for lack of a better term say a business operation you take into account all fluctuations that could affect every aspect of an analogy.
Good post
I write educational forums too. The promo things pissing me off so i felt I could share my feelings. Delete it if you feel fit.
Why delete??.... that post is your opinion!
What i wrote is mine!........ i was speaking to everybody who reads this thread not just you...... if you dont like promos do not get involved with them... simple!!.... i do a hella lot of work backstage with the source promos... stuff you know nothing about so maybe just share a thought with those that actually work here and not just the "takers"
I think promos are fine. It's the way some members are reacting to them. I never commented on your work and I know you guys bust your ass. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The attempted blackmail is the problem. People wanting free gear is gonna happen regardless, we are all obsessed with gear and when u get it free its like we are kids again on CHRISTmas morning! But I agree it does screw with the "integrity" of eroids
This is a simple solution have this source get the names of these members and post the pms or whatever has the black mail information. Then the rest of us can blast them to pieces. As well as the mods doing what they do best.
AnonWhat ? I still couldnt hear you, can you repeat that please ?
lol actually Im in favor of doing away with all promos.
Me too. I know it helps new sources but I guarantee after one promo they won't do another and question if it's worth it after all we put them through.
AnonIf my children fight or whine over a toy more than once, I usually just take it from them and throw it out.
AnonI dont know why that made me laugh, i guess its because I could see you doing that, lol.
Ha ha! I'm going to try that. Girls got 2 (13 month & 2.5yo boys)
