Sorry I'm just getting around to posting on this little gem of a topic... it seems that you've had a good many suggestions, comments and even a few essays written. I will keep this short and semisweet.. I enjoy the site, I have meet some amazing people through pm, text, calls and even in person. I've been given great advise, encouragement and even taught a few life lessons. I've been mistaken for a BRO every single day.. I've been called ugly names and even been called a few that made me feel very confident in myself. Each day we are going to face adversity as well as different walks of life no matter where we choose to spend our time. We aren't always going to see things as everyone else does and at times we are going to wish for things to change. What I've noticed and learned is that this site has evolved.. maybe it is something that BFG never imagined or maybe it's something that he only wished he could have imagined. Things change because the people, time, surroundings, and the need to be something more. Can you change that? I don't think so... it's like a child you can only lead it so far before at some point it takes on it's own personality and starts functioning as an adult. We all want to be apart of something that's vastly becoming huge, we all want help. Well the best way to do that is to keep doing what you are doing, don't try to change because you don't think it's effective for someone. My way of doing things would not be approved by a great deal of folks on this site.. and for a moment I tried to adjust to conform to that.. you can't do that.. What makes me unique is that I can not be like everyone else. Can some say I'm not helpful or just another girl.. yes, I'm sure they could.. But if you ask that same question to someone I've spent time with they will tell you the complete opposite. Back to the original question.. How would I rate it.... It's the best site I've found for AAS discussions, sources and use. It's the best site for just about everything else to. Now weather it's intention was to be this in the beginning or not doesn't really matter to me, it's what attracts me to it now that I care about. As it evolves I'm sure that will change and a whole different set of folks will be filling up these pages and the ones that are still around then will be remembering how it was now.. that's the cycle. Either way I couldn't change it.. I don't need to.. it will do that on it's own.. weather we like it or not. Also, Distructos.. thank you for including me in this post.. it's a great feeling to be noticed and recognized.....

sorry I was wrong about the short part

You will be hard pressed to find a member with as much love for this site as me and anyone that was here from the beginning can attest to that. I helped mold this site with ideas and policies as well as discipline. There was a period in eroids history when I was the ONLY MOD on site and I kept up with it with diligence because I loved this site and with as much defiance that permeates this site humans still crave structure whether they like it or not. I know I sound like an old fuck talking about the good ol' days but eroids WAS a different animal back in the beginning... lets just look at basic sociology: when we were new and small we were in a place of forced interdependence (just like any culture) the review system was nothing like it is today and many of us dropped our hard earned cash into the void in hopes of coming back with some positive feedback for the community as a whole(Not as a nuthugging gesture for the src). The src accountability had yet to come to fruition. And the socializing remained relevent to what was eroids primary purpose (and its NOT Bodybuilding). Now as the eroids culture grew the interdependence wayned and the culture splintered (just like any culture) The "if you don't like it then i'll find the clique who does" mentality made its way in (as it does in all cultures) The next thing to appear is entitlement and now the rules set up for the safety of the whole were no longer relevent to the few. Look the rules are not in place to single anyone out they are in place for a reason (just like in any culture) and those that can't/won't follow them will be beholden to consequences (just like in any culture). Then of course (as in any culture) the next generations come in and naturally think they know better than the generation before them. Now this kind of (albeit natural) splinter weakens ANY society (including this one)
TBH I would give early eroids 10/10 because even with all of its flaws it was a WHOLE community. Have there been advances? YES! (thank god!) Just the src accountabilty alone! But it is a double edged sword because it also fans the flames of entitlement which we have all seen ("I emailed this src 2 hrs ago and he hasn't gotten back to me... SCAMMER!) LOL!

And for those of you that don't think this place has gone a bit FACE-ROIDS:

What does any of this have to do with the primary purpose of eroids? or lifting, juice, diet or anything else relevent to this site...

So with just the perusing I've done over the last few days I'd give eroids-lite a 6.5-7. There is alot that I still love about this site BUT there is soooo much bullshshit that I don't care about to sift through to get to it

The Hindus believe that when culture comes into existence it is already in a state of de-evoloution. I find that to be accurate

I enjoy the reading the experiences and gains bro's have had with certain compounds, enjoy the promos, the review system so you can decide if your source is gtg, and also the research aspect put into this community whether it be from bloods or what ancillaries to take to counteract certain sides... All valuable information/10.

This is really a great post imo! Well thought out and put together, also positive in really giving a healthy idea what people think if they participate.

I also know there are some that think it has just gone to shit and it’s the new facebook.

First I will address the above quote, to a lot of the vets they have seen changes that they deem both good and not good. And who better to give an opinion than the foundation members who remained here through all transitions.

I will use an analogy that I understand and maybe the gun enthusiast here will as well. Some years ago, the US Special Ops did some cross training with the British Special ops (SAS). At the time they used a heavy machine gun called "FN BRG-15". Now the most unique this about this weapon was that the spent casings ejection port was on the inside of the weapon. Some who don't know about firearms will say "so what is the big deal?" The big deal is that instead of the hot brass being ejected away from the shooter, it gets propelled at the shooter. I know because when I fired it not just a few shells ended up landing on my face and chest burning me. So me being the diplomatic person I am said "Fucking A, this weapon sucks balls!" Now the SAS love this weapon for only God knows why and were deadly accurate with it too.

So years later when they switched models with a more conventional ejection port the older vets were not as pleased with the newer technology. Of course the new guys who were trained on them love it.

I believe and I know this is my way as well when we get used to something a certain way we become comfortable and good at it. So if it changes we become uncomfortable and not so good at it, we deem it has having lost something good. Maybe it has to us but not to all, or maybe it really has all the way around.

In special ops you have to constantly train and adapt because equipment, tactics, as well as preparation is always evolving and changing. This is because warfare is always changing. The sources here adapted their game so that LE is confounded on how to catch them. But soon enough LE will find the holes in the sources game and fuck their ass without even a reach around lol. This is how it has been throughout history.

So is Eroids better or worse, I don't know but one thing is that it has and will keep evolving it is the nature of things. I believe it will lose certain benefits as well as gain certain benefits. The new benefits can't come until the old ones pass away. I wish we could have both I just have never seen that happen yet. I love TV remote controls because it allows me to channel surf and be lazy, I hate TV remote controls because I know it makes me lazy.

Here are the Questions: How would you rate eroids? What do you like best about it? What do you dislike the most? What would you be willing to do to help improve eroids? We have all of this for free, should we complain less and work together as a team to improve areas that are problematic?

I would rate Eroids a 9.0, not a ten because I don't believe anything is perfect. I also don't see what is lacking because of my above disertation. I could say to BFG, I would like you to add say a feature that shows us who takes and gives karma. He could say that is a great Idea, but I will have to charge each member $100.00 a month because it will be expesive. I would then say you know this sight is great without that lol. that is what makes it difficult for me to say complain on one side when I don't know the cost on the other side.

What do I like best about it. For me honestly the best is the people. If you would have asked me when I first joined I would have said first the source access ability and then the information on usage. So I really like it all in fact I would know how to separate it.

The dislikes, fan boys who injustly gang up on a member, sources who think they are all that and treat members like shit for know reason simply because there own manhood is small so the have to compensate by being a big dick instead of having one, members feeling sorry for themselves, members who don't encourage those who makes gains that aren't body builders. But this all must remained because it is based on the individuals not Eroids, so it is people based not eroids based.

What would I be willing to do to help improve eroids? This is a tough one because I don't know what I could do, I guess I would need to be told by those entrusted with the site. I try to support the mods with unwaivering support because they have earned it. I also try to help members as much as I can with any resource that I have. It is like serving I believe if you recieved a lot then you should give a lot, I have recieved way more from Eroids then I have given so I would intrust the answer to this question to those who know better than I.

This is a well wrtten and great post! Thanks D!

Great words D.
Rating- 9/10. Why- for me first and foremost the partnership between the wide array of great gear and the vast amount of knowledge contributed by experienced member is the backbone to this great site. However the characters up in this bitch, the stories/experiences they share (gear and non gear related) and the respect which most hold for fellow members is what I enjoy most.
Dislike- Interms of the site itself, not much if anything tbh.The mods and vets take care of major issues while the haters and shit starters have there ass handed to them in humble or not so humble manor depending on how they respond to the warning.
What am I willing to do to improve Eroids- if it ment paying a fee then yeah I would be happy to. I cant/wont give out cycle advice and risk hurting someone due to my complete inexperience as fairly new comer myself but I can do my best to give an honest answer to something I have actually experienced and not just read/researched about. If some would drop the Karma and promo binge they are on and stick to contributing towards the site in a positive way I think it would only help make it a better community.
Like I said I have only been here a short time so I hope I qualify to give the above opinions, if not can I please pick Nitti to be the one to deliver my punishment???
