Time for a break?
ad
Anyone else ever feel likely it's time to take an eroids vacation?
Recently I'm finding more and more reasons to get hacked off with people around here. New kids running stupid stuff, 23 year olds telling me how to do stuff. It seems like we have had an influx of morons recently. God knows how our mods keep their cool......
Time for a break for me? Maybe?

Same here bro.. im done for a little bit, just let things clear up and clear out
Take a step back and fill your normal eroids time with some other productive things. Either you'll soon forget about eroids or you'll miss us dearly. Either way , breaks are always good. You know that Bro!
I'm taking a break. It's good to step back and gain a greater perspective. Shame if knowledgable people like you do though. You guys can really help others. I can only chip in occasionally with my limited experience.
AnonWish ed pop in for a chat or just say gday..eroids feels so lonely without ed..
For me I have to take a break from time to time. It's not because of people here it has more to do with my lifestyle. I've been here going on 2 years and have taken 3 breaks. I come on while on cycle and try and contribute as well as pick the brains of my fellow eroidians. After the riggers of a cycle and being all in. I have to walk away because I've put other things off and it needs the same kind of attention that I put in with my cycle. I really enjoy coming back feeling fresh and ready for my next go around. I see those that have risen in ranks and others that have fallen from grace. The way I do it keeps the balance in my life and fends off burnout. Everyone has their own way of doing things and this is what works for me. 2 years ago at this time I was a 262lb 25%+bf dude feeling lost and lethargic. I found trt which brought me back. Feeling better and wanting to know more about the magic in the vial. I stumbled on to this site and it has changed my life. My wife and I both have made major strides in our transformation but we still have a life outside of eroids and have to walk away to do the other things that are necessary in life. We strive to stay fit while I'm not on cycle but I do so many other things. My house being 1. When I take on the major renovations I just don't have the time to roll in and chat. So I believe it's good to walk away and come back fresh and more tolerant. So take your break and enjoy the other things in life. You'll come back. The burnout will be gone and it'll be fun again.......
I really think everyone has something to offer more or less but there does need to be more respect out of everyone I think, the mods seem to do a great job of cutting out all the crap. I am pretty new to the board and also pretty young but ive noticed a lot of people get their feathers ruffled easily. At the end of the day people are gonna do what they are gonna do and all the experienced guys can do is give quality advice and hope for the best, the young guys arent always going to listen or be respectful which is sad but hey they will learn from their mistakes eventually. If someone is disrespectful just don't let it get to you, it honestly doesn't matter.
I do wanna thank the experienced guys and mods that are on the board often. There really is a wealth of knowledge here and I look forward to learning and running my first cycle with the knowledge I acquired here.
Very good point.
you have a valid point.. disrespect.. it is just words on a screen ...
Thats what I am saying. People get brave behind a keyboard so just don't let it bother you. If someone is disrespectful then everyone should just stop responding to them. There would be no more trolls or douche bags.
this is partly true but the people i have know personally and the members of this board that have the kind of knowledge that everyone on the site could learn from have a low tolerance for rudeness and being disrespected there is an example on this page such a person posting less because of rudeness
there was another example that turned out to be a misunderstand not long ago but still proves the point
the knowledge/experience these people have is hard earned so when they take timeout of there day to help
and are constantly given nonsense we all lose out
100% get what your saying and im not calling you out but at the end of the day if someone you don't even know is bashing on you, move on to the next thread like an adult. Harsh words that are typed over the internet have absolutely no effect on you in real life and should be treated as such and if you are going to let these meaningless words affect you to the point where you do not want to contribute anymore, well that is honestly just sad.
I am in no way trying to make fun of anyone or call anyone weak, if something somebody said really bothered someone it should be addressed by the mods or who ever.
RustyhookerGreat points sir!
I just hope it passes after the summer. I know I'm not here that long but I can see a HUGE difference from this time last year to now. All you have to do is click on a random si page and you can see instantly why steroids get a bad name. It's pure stupidity, ignorance and lack of common sense running rampant with no respect to this site or their own bodies for that matter. I can probably name 10 handles off the top of my head that should be more worried about graduating high school than looking good on the beach. But as they say...an education is important, but big biceps are importanter lol
i just took a month or more break...seems so did a lot of other members...which i miss some of them...hopefully they were all just taking a break too...sometimes its good to move away from something for a while to gain a better perspective or simply to "miss it" even Eroids! ;0)
Thought I hadn't seen you for a while. Glad you're back.
Thank you ;)
I've been here shorter than anybody so my words don't hold much value but there has been a lot of trolling and just down right ignorant know it all kids. It does get frustrating but we need all the gentleman like u we have here. This is the number one site imho and maybe we need to tighten the screws down on all these dumb post or ignorant kids
Maybe thats what the trolls are trying to do; they are trying to wear us out so we just give up and then it's free range turkeys sprouting out of everywhere. A few times I was in the same boat and wanted to just say screw it but my own stubbornness refuses to let me go out quietly. You signed up here a long time ago for a reason; you stayed and offered your help and guidance for a reason. That reason alone should be directing you to stick around again. Rusty is right though the mma shirts come out like crazy when the warm weather approaches but once they realize there is more to this then grams of gear they just vanish like a fart in the wind. Stick around; we need more soldiers in trenches.
Shit; I read through a lot of your posts and your advice and it kept me on the right path, I could imagine if you weren't here to kick me in my ass when I was fucking up. Where would I be? A fkn statistic.
giving up wont help, if you guys have stronger presence, it keeps the frauds to a minimum, they post bogus shit unchallenged, they'll continue to do so, you guys can prevent it by giving good advice, and negging and calling out bad advice or troll posts, the community has each others back in these situations, low level guys do it and it ends up an insult war, you guys do it they back off or due to experience on the board yous handle it better. people still need guidance, the trolls can just get too fuck.......
Always rely on you to tell it how it is ;)
Good points.
you guys that have been here the longest are the back bone, im sure youve seen it change many times, shit even i have in only a year, i think the community "love" is vanishing, i think because of the massive influx in new members, the original "culture" is getting smaller, some ppl are selfish...as in karma and gear are priority now with new breed, they havent seen the old style where helping each other in anyway possible was normal, its now like gimme the answer to my insane tren stack or ill abuse you lol, its time to bring back community spirit, help each other and keep the trolls out i reckon! some good ol fashion real aas discussions and ppl getting along.
Completely nailed it mate. Feels like we have been sleepwalking into the current mood/scenario.
Don't get me wrong this site is still amazing but at times it feels like my favourite family run bar and grill has been taken over by a faceless corporate franchise. We joined around the same time so maybe we haven't earned the right, I'm sure the guys with multiple years on the site are in a better position to comment.
I ve been here coming up on three years in month or two .. Why do you think, I hardly venture out of my si thread anymore to comment.. .. the only time I hit any cycle threads any longer is because someone sent me the thread and asked me to head over that way.. ..
this is a big loss to this site i have seen your posts you have alot of experience and knowledge on the subjects that bring people to this site
Part of it for me is rudeness when I present an opinion that is "unwanted" I m pressed for time anyway and so if I take the time to post at the very least if you don't like what I have to say either present a logical rational arguement for your differing opinion and we can have a discussion or just don't say anything ... but don't ask for my opinion and then get bitchy because it didn't jive with what you wanted to hear.
Very similar to how I feel Grrl. I find I t frustrating that people like you are made to feel that way by some of the clowns we see, it's a waste, I can learn plenty from the lines if you. To be honest it's pretty rate for me to take personal offence or get involved in arguments, (not really my nature), but I do regularly get frustrated watching friends / other members being talked to rudely etc.
I think many share the same feelings as yourself. Not exactly sure what we can do as a community to move forward or at least reinstate some of the eroids values which have perhaps been lost? or even if the majority want that at all?
You've just described it perfectly, exactly how I feel at times.
Like I said earlier I've had a shitty few days and probably need to get my head out of my arse!
No harm in taking time to regroup mate, just make sure you come back, we can't afford to lose another one of you guys from the original old guard ;)
we all have a rite to comment, its the net but it is apart of our lives, remember when i had my big court trial? i lost the plot and started drinking, i had a tonne of ppl guiding me, helping me, pm me see if im goin alright etc man if that was now and i posted that shit it would be abuse lol, we helped with roids and ppls lives. plus had a harmless laugh without malice toward anyone.
Yeah man I remember and I know what your saying. Obviously it's not down to any one member but damn I miss Pank's comments and posts. Dude could defuse a shit show with any member, anywhere across the boards and get respect from all parties.
waltrhow's the bp?
had it tested lately?
i went and did mine on one of those machines at a local grocery store while i was waiting for a prescription to be filled for my mothers diabetes.
185/93.....
that's not good..that is VERY HIGH BP, and side effects from bp include mood fluctuations..
i'm worried about you dude, there's no justifiable reason to get angry over an internet posting.
BP is fine. Not angry mate, just a little bored of the same old stupidity.
waltrkeep pushing man
you competing this year?
You gotta do whats best for your peace of mind and training brother. But for the guys like me who look to yours and others truly expert and appreciated help, your voice will be sorely missed. I have been keeping to the shadows a lot myself lately because of all the bs and constant crying so prevalent right now. But Im still reading and learning! Learned a lot from you bro.
RustyhookerFew days off helps everyones happiness. I've been chillin in SI pages chatting more than helping lately. My cycle/goals must trump being "Nice". And you got big goals.
Quite Likely it's just me being an arsehole at the moment! Just seems like three quarters of the posts I read these days are either stupidity, failing to read the rules or just pure laziness. A reflection on the AAS user marketplace maybe?
You're right about goals mate, got more important challenges at the moment. Got a bit off track this week with personal stuff and need to get my game back 100% in line.
RustyhookerEvery spring here draws in those broh douchebags of summer. Whute sunglasses and the mma tshirts. Coppertone and never seen a hard day. It'll pass like shit from a goose. Lol!
I have a pair of nice mma shorts! I wear them to the gym with my Hulkamania tank top and my matrix glasses.
RustyhookerI thought i was cool with my 1991 faded GOLDS string t and MC hammer pants. Lol!
You got me beat; I'm not brave enough to wear those even when it was in fashion. Now Bobby Brown pants; that was the shit! Fuck I'm old.
You've done well to make me laugh the mood I'm in!
Cheers bruv.
Hey! My mma shirt is dope! Makes me look tuff.
RustyhookerI wasn't tall enough to get into the octagon. But i read hgh helps you grow! Saving money right now.....
Lol
You'll always be aces in my book, brother! You an the flash both!! ;)
Lmao!! I aint gettin in there anyway!! I dont like gettin beat up. An if I am gettin beat up, that guy in the black shirt aint gonna stop me from biting the sob's nose off and spittin blood in his eye!!

LMFAO!! You aint jokin flash! I can see it! Wouldnt wanna run accross the bad side of you in a dark alley!!
lol, i am joking bro, but only about the playing footy thing, the rest is true! lol
I feel the same way bro, I sit back and watch everything comes full circle. I'm not going to quit, just watch and read. Alot of people have left that were great, but we still have good members, like yourself brother.
