Too be honest it's not really safe for me to tell everyone how Eroids has positively affected my life. Just know that my path has been traveled very rarely. I've experienced everything this website has to offer. From recreational to knowledge to business. I've literally lived it all.
So instead of those details I'll make a comment on what has mattered most to me. The relationships I've built and fostered have been precious to me. I've had three mentors.
The first to guide me on this path of AAS use physical fitness and self exploration was Grrl. Grrl somehow found me and in certain ways molded me into the Eroids savvy person I am today. Our relationship was built on a love for beautiful words and a passion for enlightenment. How our character must always triumph over our wants. Never to sacrifice the things that matter most to us. Beauty. Wonder. Innocence. Family. Selflessness. Soul. In these facets we found friendship and kinship. My dear Grrrl I could to tell you a million different ways how much you mean to me without saying a single word.

VIKING
The brother from another world long forgotten yet sorely needed. Viking is a throwback to the days of Lore. Where honor was worth dying for and worth killing for. I was here a while before Viking showed up. Believe it or not Viking started off quiet and soft spoken. Almost like he wasn't sure if this place was home yet. Here's a quick trivia nugget. A test to see if anyone actually took the time to read this post; What was Viking's very first handle????
Well I've read every one of this mans posts. Every detail in every PM. I've taken some of his tricks and molded them for me. Wow what a treasure this man is. Once he decided to take the gloves off he took this place by storm. Spread the same passion he lives his life with. It's truly infectious. Admirable. He is unequivocal and beyond this world we call earth. The man is a fucking alien from Planet GETTHEFUCKOUTTAHERE!!!! The dudes helped me grow and always is the first to throw his arms around me and say WELCOME BACK after I return from my breaks from eroids. We went into Mod internship together. He loved it and made it his first priority. I on the other hand had other priorities that don't mix with being a mod. It is sad to know I chose the wrong facet to make my mark. What a great mentor and role model.
The last person to take me under their wing was ShaaaadayuuuuummmHOTDAYUUUUUUM NOOOKAHRACHIE Tread-m. My Silverback brother is a true fucking character folks. One of the funniest free spirited people you could ever hope to meet. The times we spent working together really fostered a great relationship. We laughed literally every convo we had. Granted we spent more time offline than here but I picked that dudes brain as often as I could. The great lesson Tread taught me was HOW TO TIE A KNOT. One string was AAS. The second string is HGH. The third string is the HPTA. Tie all that together and everything comes together like hydroxylation baby!! That bond is permanent chaaaaaching! The best compliment he ever have me was the day he called me a builder. With time I could be a master builder. Don't rush it. Come into your own when you're ready. I originally felt slighted. Then it clicked. I got it. To be a builder one must love something more than himself. To build up men. To build up a woman. To build up means to infuse and to create. To create something out of love or passion or concern is admirable. I get it now. He was giving me a lesson in building. My stupid ass duuuuuuhhhhh was too stupid to get it:) Oh well nikkas I get that shit now haha.

A special note for a brother that looked out for me whenever I needed help or had a question. BODYBUILDER. You always answered my questions. Never made me
Feel stupid when I didn't know how to eat right. You kept things simple. You spoke my language and we share the same dreams. Our families gave us that. You were here before me. Chastised me when I said we should make Eroids a pay for play site. How wrong I was then and how visionary you were even back then. You've always been good to me and I don't forget. Thank you

A few tidbits from the archives:

Being an Alpha isn't anything we strive to be I don't think. It's inherently in us and ushered forth by life circumstances. Some achieve it while others never will because simply their circumstances never meshed with their genetics.
My definition of a True Alpha:
Compassion- empathy for those weaker and less fortunate then ourself. Finding grace in the downtrodden. Helping those who simply aren't able to help themselves.
Accountability- assuming responsibility for ones own actions good or bad. Speaking truths regardless of the outcomes. Believing in fulfilling our commitments regardless of how hard it will be. Then actually doing it.
Honor- the grouping of ideals set before us long ago. Faith regardless of a higher power. Faith in our own selves that will conquer fear and pain and loneliness. Holding ourselves to the highest standard therefore becoming an example to those who hold us in high regard. Never allowing those in our company to doubt or question our integrity. Taking the fear of those in our trust as a personal mission to quell.
Love- to search out and allow our hearts to find joy in the company of others. To reciprocate a timeless emotion some never find. Never build walls high enough so never to allow those who would choose to love us that opportunity. To have the courage to express our emotions with a free mans tongue.
Protect- to secure the fears of those we love. To defend the honor of ourselves and those we love. To defend the sanctity of our homes and the lives of those unable to protect themselves.

Culture is something seperate. It's being open to the ideas of others not like us. Open to the sounds and flavors and sights of those not like us.
My allowed vulnerability is a choice. I choose to expose my truest self because of my choice to have faith in someone. Because I simply needed the contact of someone who has something special to offer. I believe in standards set hundreds and hundreds of years ago. BUSHIDO. The Oath of a Knight
BUSHIDO- Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Politeness, Honesty, Honor, Loyalty, Character.
The Oath of a Knight:
Be loyal of hands and mouth, and serve every man as best you may. Seek the fellowship of good men; hearken to their words and remember them. Be humble and courteous wherever thou go, boasting not nor talking overmuch, neither be dumb altogether. Look to it that no lady or damsel be in reproach through your default, nor any woman of whatsoever quality. And if you fall into company where men speak with disrepect of any woman, show by gracious words that it pleaseth you not, and depart.

Knowing I am peerless and unequaled means I can serve as easily as i can dictate. Kindness in the face of anger. Holding moral standards above misleading and often fast fleeting satisfactions. Being generous even when I am without. That's true confidence. True courage is doing what needs to be done regardless of how I feel.

FOR NITTI:
Life means very little if spent without honor. To give freely and to love without condition. To speak truth even when it cuts. U know me more than most. It's who I am and how I will always live. Brother from another Mother:)

Positive experiences?? Shit bro positive doesn't quite describe the road I've walked here. Life altering and defining bro, Eroids was an epiphany. It's here for everyone. Just gotta want it. Have to be able to dive down deep into the darkest parts of your existence. To want to achieve greatness means hours of building a foundation. To want to see the Landscapes our ancestors had seen before us. To drive the paths unchosen or unwanted. To deliver when your back hits the wall. When your body is fallen and clumped into a pile of weak flesh. To drive harder for every single breath. Every single rep. You're that much closer to greatness. Eroids is that. It's the drive to be great. To carry your brothers on you back and honestly believe that they would do the same for you. To bleed for the man next to you. To encompass greatness you need help. To really get it you have to live it. To live it you have to want it. That's Eroids. We are all pieces of the puzzle. All parts of the fabric that has us strewn together.
WE ARE EROIDS.
