+ 11 AAS Site or much much more...

ad

So I wanted to remind everyone of something in Eroids past and even let members who were not part of this particular past in on a little secret.

It came up again yesterday in Gsleepy's new thread that Eroids is an AAS site and I like to flush those single minded thoughts out before they can spawn so let me take you all through a bit of Eroids history and reminder.

There was a time when Eroids was in fact "just an AAS site". Its a time I don't like to be reminded of because this site while informative was nothing like today and was truly destined to never grow up.

If you were here you will remember our old Mod Hollywood taking myself and a few others for getting off topic often to task. Most of the guys here , I say guys because we only had one female on site, basically bowed to H and hugged his nuts and went on with there day mouth shut. I didn't, not in my DNA. I sorta began getting on his nerves. Threats in public and private to ban me. My words , do it.

My thoughts were then as they were yesterday when I saw the nasty phrase come up again "this is an AAS site".....without our individual personalities we cannot grow as a community. In fact, we can't be a community at all. I fought a?ong with a few that joined me tooth and nail and the resolution with BFG was that "OFF TOPIC" was born. As it was H was still rolling around being H and wanting it to be tame and trying to police the off topic in a way thatg it was what "he" wanted. That of course was not happening while my tag did not have a BAN under it.

I poured a shit ton of time into this site to help it become a family of AAS users and a place where we could all have a say and all blossom as individuals and my work along with many others at least "helped" Eroids become what it is today.
This site was ok, it was a cool place for basic info but go back and look at it in its former days. IT WAS NOT THIS, THE GREAT PLACE YOU ARE ALL ADDICTED TO AS AM I. It was an AAS site and that's it....

Today, its a community based around an AAS site, don't get confused and if you had other thoughts...you have been corrected ; )

PS...H and I grew to respect one anothers boundaries later and actually got along very well. That's saying maybe more about me than him if you knew H. Lol

You clearly did not read my post down below!.......... maybe you did and you think i am a soft touch and didnt mean what i said................. well heres the truth!!

Face to face confrontation with a MOD or EX-MOD.............. Nothing else............ BANNED.

Nitti's picture

He's trying to tell you that I ASKED that ppl leave their negative comments right where they are! Now after having read the link and still insisting , I can see you're just bitter and have nothing constructive to say. This thread is getting locked down. I heard enough

Lol. Ah I see, blame the bald guy in an orange robe !!

Edit: Great to see you around these parts again by the way ;)

seems like it revived you as well.. ;)

I 'd like to take credit for that but I had a discussion with an old friend that reminded me of some things that I had forgotten ... his word reminded me of the truth of things. those things that sometimes get clouded when you are too close and need to take a step back to see the forest...

VIKING EVOLUTION's picture

OK time for me to show my face in here but i will be brief...

I am in mourning!.... i knew H better than any other man here.

My final words here ............. i demand respect for Hollywood at all times and if i drop onto ANYONE or any thread with fuckers dirty mouthing him SHIT WILL HIT THE FAN.

Thank you.............. V.

Being a moderator isn't for the faint hearted. I've done the job on a different site and like Noid said it completely changes the way you view the place and the people involved.

Whilst I understand H rubbed a few people the wrong way, I thank him for his work here and wish him all the best. Hope he sticks around in whatever form that takes.

rolltide3's picture

I think Hollywood was a much needed presence here. Without that mentality it's impossible to keep a bunch of alpha males in line. He showed up and there was no b.s. if u did something wrong u was in trouble but if u played by the rules there was no problems

Nitti's picture

Are you suggesting that I'm sweet? Or Vike? Trenabolic? BFG? Sweet? Like pushovers? Nobody will be able to stand up up the mighty trolls and newbie child nonsense without H's mentality? C'mon my man! You're insulting us.

rolltide3's picture

No wasn't trying to insult u just saying Hollywood was very good at what he did Ill bow out didn't.want to make any one mad or insult u or any other mod . I apologize don't want to offend anyone my intention of the post came off wrong

kodiakGRRL's picture

I was sweet.. I was ...LOL.. tell me otherwise I think I did a mighty fine job keeping you in line ;p

Catalyst's picture

You were. When I arrived here it was your "sweet" approach that made you more scarey than the other mods lol!

kodiakGRRL's picture

lmao.. sweet and scarey.. I like that ;-)

Nitti's picture

Yeah you did. Chics have a certain way of keeping boys in check.

kodiakGRRL's picture

I was always very nice to you... even when I was telling you that you were behaving badly '_"

Catalyst's picture

Exactly Rusty. Isn't easy winning a popularity competition doing that job. I for one would fail miserably.

Prophetic.
Isn't it funny how this post has come full circle?
I've sworn myself off of contributing until Hllwd gets the plug pulled. But I saw this pop up and I can't help myself and since I come not as a nuthugger, but as an embassador for the good of Eroids. (That sounded pretty damn sexy didn't it?) I'll say what most everyone is thinking, and believe me, I've had a number of vets express the same feeling to me in my personal email.
I'll post what everyone is thinking because truthfully, I refuse to nuthug hllwd especially when I see the place go to shit under his vision.
Where the hell is everyone? Why does the site suck now? The place has become "just a site" again. Has it not?
I've been here for over two years, and at one time I absolutely loved the place.
But I'm like Tread, I'm of the thinking that one can have this lifestyle and not just be hardcore but be hardcore and actually have a good time. This isn't the way that'd hllwd sees it.
The place went back to shit the second he got his mod tag back.
What was the first thing he did? Banned Tread, yes a temp ban but he knew tread had too much pride to come back and hug hllwds nuts.
I'm an off topic guy and he started putting the squeeze on me the second he got in. I would post on a steroid related topic and he would bump it over to off topic, so I stuck to the off topic section and he eventually hit me with a ban to see if I'd come back and suck his cock. Not happening.
Eventually he knew if he disrespected me in off topic that I'd tell him to lick my balls and he could hit me with a ban.
I've expressed this to H in private and I realize it's probably a pain in the ass trying to keep order in a place like this but when the line gets crossed and a mod expects his nuts to be hugged for his own personal gratification eventually all you have left are the nuthuggers and little kids.
Go back two years ago and take a look at this place. It kicked ass. It was fun and there were some serious studs in the forums. (Holy shit kids, if you didn't get to experience the days of Vike in the trenches... Damn kids, you don't know what a soldier is. If you didn't experience the Velvet hammer of GRRL you don't know what it's like to have a boner and be scared at the same time. If you didn't see Nitti as his inner tren junkie, you don't know what a true tren Junkie is. If you never saw Goth verbally abuse someone so badly that you felt bad for that persons mommA, you don't know what intellectual abuse is. If you haven't reAd a GH post that was so damn in depth that you had to read it 15 times to understand it, you didn't know Tread.

Yes we still have a few studs left, but this Eroids isn't what it used to be. Mark my word, this place will continue to go to shit as
Long as it's under hllwds vision. Under that vision if you refuse to nut hug hllwd you will eventually leave on your own or get banned if you are a true alpha. Am I wrong? (Nuthuggers insert comment here)
There is no such thing as voluntary mutual respect in Hllwds world. He will respect Vike, Nitti, Bb, and BFG as long as he has to and that's it.
His vision of the site is, and will always be a hardcore AAS site with everyone hugging his nuts.
We have had some kick ass mods around here, we had Goth, GRRL, BB, Noid, Vike, GS, and Nitti, hell even BFG used to drop by for the fun.
They kept shit in order but they didn't have this complex that required the nuthugging, and they didn't have the vision of a hardcore AAS site. They knew that there is such a thing as having fun and building muscle. Hell Goth, GRRL, Vike, Nitti, and GS are some of my closest friends. I like to think that deep down Noid is my friend but he has no friends. If he did, surely I'd be his best one. If I was slightly cooler surely BB and BFG would be on the list too. I admit my dorkiness limits me there.

Well kids I'm rambling, my non-nuthugging surely will be my demise today, and I'm cool with that, because this place today isn't that place that I couldn't take shit without pulling my phone out to see what kind of awesomess is going on. Now it has become that place that I only look at when I take a shit..barely, even if that.

Peace brothers, you know you all have my no homo love.
I'm out until hllwd is gone and that may be until the site takes it's last shit. I'll be respectful, but I won't nuthug. Not in real life and not here. Well maybe I'll nuthug guys like Vike and Tread, but they earned every damn bit of my nuthuggery in the Eroid van.

All my love, no homo
Ed.

Nitti's picture

If I didn't laugh for a solid 5 minutes reading this ,......

This is an example of the inflated ego that came to mind. I remember reading this right after seeing a call that made no sense elsewhere ( wish I remembered so I could link but I don't ) from H and that was when I stopped logging on shortly thereafter. H slamming Nitti in the review section for no real reason and for what? Just to swing his dick around and shove his seniority in Nitti's face no mutual respect at least that's how I see it….. why I have no idea the review was perfectly detailed after the jokingly made comment of "this shit is fire yo" go find it for yourself. I am glad to see Nitti didn't change a damn thing though.

I will give you the opportunity to fix this before I FLAG! (NOBODY IS SAFE FROM HLLWD BITCHEZ!!)

I might be a little pissed that my boy is being slammed when he isn't here to defend himself. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about in my post the other day. You guys just don't know H any further than the time he pissed you off. That entire sequence you posted from my review was a joke. A joke that I started by posting "Hollywood, don't flag my shit. I'm not done yet" in a review. I did that jokingly because to a regular member without Mod access it looked like there was a post with only a period in the reviews section. He played along and posted that while I finished my review. When a mod writes a review we do not have all the categories tht you all have like packing, shipping, cust service , product quality etc. We have a simple reply box which we have to post something then we can edit it after it's posted and have the proper format to complete a review. Anyway , point being that was totally orchestrated and pretty funny at the time. Unless someone already had a bad feeling about the guy.

Tryp, I assume you didn't see it but I asked everyone keep their negative opinions to themselves about him. So if you did see it and posted anyway you're spitting in my face. I don't believe you'd do such a thing so I'm letting It go.

Rusty, the "bitches of eroids" is actually not what you think, it was amusing. What is not amusing at all, is a public venom filled rant directed at anyone here. That type of thing is a most private matter between two men and to take it public is beyond bad taste, it's classless and base. Maybe that was the intent. It succeeded.

eastcoastmuscle's picture

I was here back when tread was active and I will say it has been a big loss not having him around , he was always a guy I could pm with any question no matter how small and he was there to help me. I don't know how he got out of line, but the way I take it today as far as hollywoods approach, is it comes off to me like he is being proactive . Seems like he and all the mods deal with a lot of bs , and seems like he puts the word out there that Getting out of line around here will not be tolerated . I guess it's easier to lay down the law publicly and hopefully save time chasing down a bunch of idiots all day long ..... I don't know what goes into being a mod, but like gearhead said most of us who are here for the right reasons don't ever seem to have run ins with the mods where getting banned is something we even have to worry about . I understand we have a bunch of juiced up people around here and conversations can get heated quick , I think being a guest here you have to respect the guys who run the show, just like you would if you were a guest in a bar or club or anywhere else. Gotta give respect to get respect ..... Just how I see things .

Roid Noid's picture

the nut hugging stuff I wont comment on, im sure plenty of you have seen me tell someone to stop nut hugging me, nut hugging a MOD is no different then nut hugging a source, i hate that shit.

a lot of the big stuff that goes on on this site doesnt just happen, its reported, discussed, most of the time put on hold, different ideas come in from each MOD. new info shows up, new ideas of how to handle it, we discuss which MOD should deal with it and when it should be dealt with. Most of the stuff is green lighted by BFG before it happens. its not just im the lone wolf lets do this.

there has been tons of times I dealt with stuff, lots of source stuff, but it doesnt mean that im the one that figured it all out or came up with the idea. same thing goes with people like irish or in this case tread(as he was referenced) it was a collective decision.

its easy to sit out here and think you got it figured out but without actual knowledge of how the site operates you would never know. one of the first things I tell a new MOD when they get in the forum is this job is gonna change the way you look at the site. And trust me every MOD has said Holy shit this is not what i was expecting.

the friends you had as a member may not remain your friends once your a MOD, its just the way it is. Its not that i dont like people on this site, but from experience ive learned its best to keep to yourself.

so just keep in mind when pointing the finger, at least with the bigger stuff its probably not what you think.

This is no different than becoming a supervisor at the place you work. People just don't have the ability to separate personal from professional. Sometimes you just have to be the dick. It's harder than people realize. Gray has to become more black and white. It's your job!

Nitti's picture

Queer

Dickkhead's picture

I may be wrong or off my rocker, but the vast majority of us don't have "run-ins" with the site MODs. Like me, also, a lot of us are new - I just had my 1 year anniversary 7 days ago. I would never have guessed that Hllwd had any beliefs about this place being hardcore or that he was moving eroids in a hardcore direction. I can't think of anything here that is "hardcore." I guess, for me, it's pure newness and lack of exposure. I don't know what the past was, but today, you can't even post up a "big cycle" for review because the kids will probably copy it and get sick. I can understand that but the site certainly currently does not serve hardcore AAS users at all - anything like that is PM only and nothing in the open fora. I'm certainly not smart enough to have a solution for that either. The truth probably is that the hardcore users are such a minority it's not worth the accommodation. I never thought that Hllwd was capricious with the ban hammer from what little I have seen in 1 year but I certainly never had any interaction with him to form the kind of opinion you have.

I may be wrong or off my rocker

I don't think "may" is appropriate here as far as you being off tilt. ;-)

the vast majority of us don't have "run-ins" with the site MODs

I agree with this fully. If you follow the rules and act respectful, there is no reason why anyone should have a run in. That being said, there is a percentage of folks who have a difficult time doing these things and the MODs do a great job taking care of this element. Eroids would be a piece of crap without their efforts and we all know it. That's not "nut hugging", it's just a fact.
As far as Hllywd goes, he helped me several times before he was made Mod again and has helped me several times since. I found him to be a person with an abundance of knowledge and common sense, which seems to be a rare thing now days. I also always appreciated his straightforward manner, because you always knew where you stood. I hope we see and hear from him in the future.

Well said if u play by the rules there is no need to worry bout any mod

kodiakGRRL's picture

There happens to be an advanced cycle group that is invitation only that addresses the issue of advanced cycle. There is room here for everyone ...

Dickkhead's picture

My understanding is that group has been "closed" for a long while now while they are looking for someone to lead it.

BFG's picture

I don't listen to regulars complaining about the way mods work. You guys have no idea how shitty this job is. You've no clue. But, in hllwd's case I can not go against the census. He is a great guy, but not compatible with how I wanna see eroids run.

Nitti's picture

you could make my grilled cheese sandwich any day

The cheese doesn't melt. No joke! I used to slap that shit between 2 pieces of bread and put it on the radiator right next to the dude doing the thorizine shuffle singin "dum dum ditty". That ninja used to put milk on the radiator nxt to my grilled cheese. Said he missed cottage cheese. I wish I were joking. But that cheese, that shit isn't a food. It's like a substance. It would not fucking melt for shit! Stay away from it.

Engineereddisaster's picture

It's good to hear from you brother, glad to know you are still alive, even if it is while I make my likely last stand. Smile
I've got no problems with hllwd on a personal level, it's his method and vision. Yeah it's great to teach the forum that no one is beyond the ban but to Use a huge contributor like Tread is a horrible trade off.
That was all about ego. Probably about this original post.
Noid had the no bullshit, no favorites, no apologies down and It worked for him because it wasn't about showing the world how much dick he could swing to make him feel better about himself That's the difference.

And hey, the grilled cheese sandwich statement was sweet. I would love you long time. No homo.
