+ 8 Eroids direction

ad

Eroids is and has been mainly a review site. When the forums came around it was a spot to ask, teach, share and learn.

Back then i participated with the vets and mods and everyone agreed on the basic guidelines that made forums flow nicely.

Eventually, the cycle logs was added to free up forums and create an even better flow. Less of the cookie cutter forums and expansion into moderate and advanced cycles.

But back then the average joe on here already had a solid base or needed minor tweaks to put on that base and then hit their first cycle. Folks wanted to learn and actually pushed to find newer info.

As times changed and the vets left, the site has also changed. Without true leadership, folks will follow anything. What started as solid info and planning has become more of a free for all. We still see the 125 pound kids in the SI openly asking and getting any info requested without question.

So as these changes are here its been long overdue to see what the members want eroids to be or become. It used to be stats, goals, and priors to help custom fit a safe and proper cycle. Built with a foundation of a solid build and firm grasp on fundamentals.

So to the members.... do you want to keep up the standards we set some 6+ years ago? Or do we turn this boat and skip the pertinent info and just blankly answer the questions as posted?

I read the thread from popeboy back in the day. The thing that stood out to me was the level of respect that was shown. No name calling no negging.
BFG, Greg and Tread leading by example.

Get too fuck mouth on a twiglett.
Lol.

CBBurrr's picture

That was a great suggestion Flash,

When I got home from the gym ( after a fantastic leg day) I did get to fuck the mouth of a twig... well, she's more like a branch but she mouth fucks real good.

TheFlash85's picture

Good twiglett.

I guess the bottom line is we have allot of old members here that are missed because of what they brought to eroids

CBBurrr's picture

Who is this Irish guy?
Seems to know an aweful lot for a 1 karma member:)

Fake use of an account that started to get too contentious for the OP.

KMC's picture

If you read the stickie titled :
https://www.eroids.com/forum/general/general-talk/so...you-want-to-get-i...

Now read the every bottom line from the OP.

Many people here have either changed username or delete accounts and started over. Depending on your depth of involvement, this may be a very smart move.

I have always been KMC, no other usernames, but I'm only involved in TRT and went legit 4 years ago, so I have little to hide.

I have probably banned Irish more than any other single person here. But in spite of all that I always liked the guy and after peace was struck between him and mods past he was pretty valuable to me as a source of information. Hopefully in another 18 months to 2 years he will be back with us.

CBBurrr's picture

Wow, that was a gnarly little dose of reality.
I'll stay on the small time consumer side of the business.

Irish is a good dude. Hopefully he's safe wherever he is

Ive wrote about this subject a few times also. Ive been scarce lately because ive been extremely buried in work and understaffed due to guys flaking out and not being able to find good quality help.

I will alsways have the mindset i used to have that o was also taught on here. Ill give the advice that is needed not wanted. An if someone isnt ready i won't cosign it.

fusebox's picture

This new fucking generation doesn't know how to do the hard work so they flake out. Too many YouTube people thinking they can make easy money doing absolutely the bare minimum. Grab a shovel and do it yourself is the only way it's gonna get done nowadays. Nice to see you back

popeboy1's picture

And that's how it should be

kodiakGRRL's picture

I wrote a decent post on having a good foundation which is now buried in the archives .... most answers from me will involve asking for stats, goals, training(how long since you changed it) and diet (also how long since you tweaked it) however, I have not been here much of late due to some family events that required my absence from the forums..

That said it is really easy when you want to help to just rush in and answer the question without really thinking about whether or not we are really helping or if we are just hand holding. I know I have been guilty of it

Welcome back and I hope things settle down for you soon. Smile

Thanks ;-) me too .

The more things change.... the more they stay the same ;-)

popeboy1's picture

Anyways I agree with you, it's not that eroids have changed, it's just some of the people here don't have the strive to do their own research first. Not that asking questions is bad but, Google is really easy to use. Get more than one perspective on it before asking. I don't claim to be the most knowledge. I know what I need to and I can definitely help anyone from personally experience and what worked for me. I do think there are new more beneficial parts of eroids now, but I do feel you on the members that were here

Im with you rusty.
Fkn twigglets these days.
Always gonna get trolls.

The golden old times of eroids.. give it a break rusty, there has been rampant steroid abuse since the start, people jumping on gear after going to the gym once to 16 year olds wanting to run mega amounts of tren. It's very rare to see a member jumping in who's reached their genetic potential, hell there are a good number of members who have ran 6+ cycles and are yet to reach that potential.

The community has always put a stop to steroid abuse, 6+ years ago and we are still trying to educate people now. I'll add we are doing a good job of it also, no other forum has this amount of due care for its members as this community has (and always will have).

However I think the problem you have lies with yourself. I get your frustration, constantly banging your head on the wall at uneducated members wanting someone to sign off there ridiculous cycle ideas and not liking what advice the community has for them instead. It shows when you get into arguments with members trying to help others. CBBurrr for one, me a week ago when I simply reminded you not to mock a members stats without first finding out his goals.

Maybe it's time to take a day off, breath deep and concentrate on something other than trying to claw back an imaginary golden time of eroids. Could try the gym?

Your inclination towards Bill Roberts' advice may well be right Rusty, and I would agree with you.
He is not a Phd. though, he just lets interweb forums spin it as if he is

Standards are really important, and more so again because trusting in so called gurus like Roberts can be damaging.

GrowMore's picture

Mate, let me powerphase so you can understand what I'm trying to put across to you:

The golden era never existed.

Eroids isn't/hasn't changed and it won't. We were, and always have been the best site for the safe guarding of its members, be that buying quality gear and/or to educate ourselves.

No one is consigning a member running tren in the situation you describe and they certainly aren't doing it daily so stop being silly. My reference was to do with a member who wanted to run GH for health benafits not to get mass that you in your great wisdom decided to mock, CBBurrr spoke to a member about HCG.. you mocked him for it.

I'll say it again, take a day off.

KMC's picture

The golden era never existed.

Spoken like a true youngster (your 28 yo).

Imho, EROIDS has matured, in 2011 there were a handful of members, I joined in July of 2011 and have a membership # of under 5000. By the end of 2013 numbers in the 52,000 range were being dispensed. A couple of days ago EROIDS passed 126,000. With growth comes change.

GrowMore, at 28 years old, give yourself 30 more years and then look back and tell me when your golden era was.

Just my 2 pennies worth.

Rusty was describing 6 years ago or 'golden times' in his post.. when people always asked for stats, members hit their genetic potential before they hit steroids, never gave information to people who were not ready all that. I'm say that's not true, he used popeboy as an example of somebody who works without steroids to achieve a 200lbs frame, which again wasn't true. Popeboy blasts and cruises since the start to get up to 200lbs. Nothing wrong with that at all in my opinion if that's what he wants to do.

Now I'm neither for or against the fact there were more solid members or you had more fun back then, the topic was as I was describing above, which as I'll say again.. the safe guarding of member here on this site is better then it ever has been.

This is me debunking rustys post which again is what's this sites forums are all about respectfully discussing relevant topics.

So to the members.... do you want to keep up the standards we set some 6+ years ago? Or do we turn this boat and skip the pertinent info and just blankly answer the questions as posted?

My answer, we have better standards now then ever.

popeboy1's picture

I'd have to disagree with you on "the golden era never existed" and agree with Rusty. In 2011/2012 we had members like Tread-m, hwdbadboy (or however he spelt it), hrdbdygrrrl, goth ect ect that were active members here with tons of info and plenty of time put in helping others map out cycles, dialing in diets and basically helping others members reach goals they so desired. Our senior members wouldn't even talk to you unless you were of appropriate age or were taking steroid use seriously. I know we got alot of knowledgeable members still here. Just don't see as much guidance as what we use to

GrowMore's picture

No offence to Popeboy but he is a poster boy on how not to run steroids.

Ran steroids at 127lbs.. prop and test c

Self prescribed TRT himself..

2nd blast includes deca

He got leeky tits, anger issues and everything else which comes with steroid abuse. Ended up in prison.

I'm not bashing and I'm certainly not calling myself perfect as I too have abused steroids but I'm calling it how it is. It's also funny everyone gave him advice on how to run gear, that wouldn't happen in today's eroids that's for sure. We would have told him to stop what he's doing, wait, get bloods and EAT!

Rustyhooker:

I remember when you started here. Definitely a success story. Absorbed everything and made goals.

Who's a cop?

There are lots of cops here. Most of the users are not here investigating tho.

Popeboy blasted and cruised at the weight of 127lbs, even BFG comment on his post asking if it was a mistake and that he needs to eat.. you still think you're right?

I've uploaded many selfies, one about 3 months ago. I'm happy to message you names of people who can vouch for that, member who have proven their trustworthiness. You however have uploaded one photo to memory.. black and white, out of focus, about time you uploaded another with a date on a piece of paper. Viking always said member should prove who they are.

What does thr age of your account have to do with anything, why do you keep mentioning it like it is some kind of badge of honour. We are discussing weather or not eroids is better now or 6 years ago.

Poke fun at my posts all you like, as I said before I'm 'livey dovey' towards my mrs, anything else I'm more to the point. Great work showing your childish side and name calling, shows a lot about you. 5-0, that you're last ditch attempt to hit me with another insult? I haven't insulted you once rusty..

As I keep saying you're quiet obviously getting a little tense recently. Remember to take a deep breath before you hit that post button.

Pale's picture

My final warning to you both. Return to your corners.
