What makes eroids the best Review site?
ad
You guys do.
4 years ago today I stumbled upon this site.
Back then, a google search for information on steroids might -if you're lucky- have an eroids hit on the 3rd or 4th page of the search results.
eRoids has come a long way in 4 years. the site has evolved, forums have grown to be a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge, but there has been one constant. It's you guys.
Sober, intelligent, insightful, knowledgeable, witty, moody, flawed, arrogant but above all else, generally real people who are willing to share themselves with other members of this board.
I doff my hat to you all -particularly to the "old guard", who have shared this site with me all these years.
Is eRoids Depreciating? Hell no!

Surround yourself with knowledge and you will be filled with knowledge, and of course iron sharpens iron.
I have been thinking about this lately myself so your timing is very apt as we came here about the same time Greg (I think you have one year more on me). I was thinking about what has been missing for me personally here on Eroids and it seems what comes to mind the most is the "Old Guard" or "Olde Guard" for some! LOL!
By that I mean I used to look forward to guys like Srgt. Destanko, Tread, Nitti, Viking and so many other older veteran gurus that would impart some experience, wit, humor and a positive energy to the board. We all look at new guys coming on here ranging from ,"I may be young but I still know what the fuck I am doing so listen to me!", to "Hey ya'll check out my cycle of tren and dbol for my first run!". You know the type. The frustration that stems from these posts is always expected and the responses even more so, but they always have been and always will be a part of Eroids!
One quick story if you will allow me.
I got into a tussle with a young man here on Eroids a few years back over some half life/cycle debate. He was blatantly calling me and guys like Tread out on our philosophies and specifically in my case the calculus behind my cycle designs. I was so offended and angry and even more so at his personal attacks on my friend Tread. (I know he has been banned but he was and still is a good guy). Anyhow, this young kid proceeded to piss off anyone and everyone he could talking about how he was an engineer and knew better than anyone how to calculate cycles. What I learned from the experience which applied more to my daily life had nothing to do with cycles or gear. I watched Tread calmly and tactfully disarm and disengage this young man while never raising an eyebrow. (Those of you who remember Tread, his avatar was a silver back gorilla). When I asked him how he could remain so calm he simply said young guys like this will always exist, why get bent out of shape over something so small and trivial. That experience taught me so much more about interactions than anything.
It seems that as we look to our older veterans for advice they seem to be passing the torch and it falls to the new guard to pick it up and set the new standards. Writing new posts of original content and keeping a mindful and patient eye on new members who believe they are asking the most sensible question and are looking for guidance without getting blasted for the first time ever is and always has been what has made Eroids the top of the list for information and sources!
Here's to the new Guard!
"Olde guard," ...that reminds me at which hour I wast in the sixth grade. Eight of us hadst to share the same text booketh. Pap'r wast expensive and the only press in all the colonies wast two days by sail in Philadelphia.
Hahahaha I was hoping you'd get that dig!!!! Lol
Tread is welcome back here anytime of his choosing. His account was banned because of a hack that he got caught up in.( Basically using the same password here as a bad source.).
His pride was his downfall when he left. Hollywood definitely contributed but he is no longer wearing this tag, Monk, Hreg and I are.
I am happy with the new mods in place Darth and wouldn't have it any other way!
Looking back at my post that sounded much more serious than I meant it. My point was tread is welcome here any time he chooses and was not banned for anything nefarious.
Oh I got ya.
FR sent. Really interested in how you use calc to plan cycles. Either send me a pm or I'll send you one. Is it possivle to use limits to calculate the maximum amount of gains a cycle and produce lol? Or integration? Whayever you do that's cool as hell.
Accepted bud! Let's chat!
DeathstrokeCongrats on your 4 years. Nothing but good bros around here, we are lucky to have around.
AnonYes sir
Your a good dude Greg.... Many good dudes on here
Some are gone and some don't post as much but there's still a lot that do
I'd like to see some old members start posting agAin
Like mood for instance I haven't seen him in awhile
Amongst others
congratulations!
I just like this place, it was actually the 1st forum I found when I started digging on my plans for aas just a short time ago. I've joined other forums just for comparison and there is no equal imo. Lots of guys here who will bleed out advice for you if your approach is right but there is also lots of phony's hiding behind a tag. To all you guys who been here and are genuine (to many to name) thanks your knowledge and advice does not always fall all deaf ears and blind eyes!
Happy Anniversary brother Greg! Eroids is appreciating because of your valued presence and the priceless contributions of many! Looking forward to your future in our community! :)) Best site on the planet!
Congrats on 4 years
Happy four years my friend. Lot has changed since. The people here make all the difference lots of good people , plus the site is the most user friendly along with being super easy to navigate. The discussions in forums , the groups , cycle logs a lot of knowledge and a lot of people who want to see you succeed in your goals.
Nicely done on 4 years, seen it all man.
congrats of 4 years bro
Congrats on 4 years bro. And I agree with all you have said.
IMO the variety of sources, the activity on discussion pages, the ability to research a source...im sure theres more i just cant think of it...ive literally signed up for 5 other forums...every single one sucks ass. idk what to do with my life everytime eroids goes down for a day or two. but this site has giving me information i would have never been able to find on google. real live people with real life experiences giving good and honest advice...MOST of the guys at least. before eroids i was buying gear for $120 a bottle...never heard of AI, never heard of PCT...anyway. i wont ramble on...but eroids is the fucking shit...the other forums ive tried are fucking terrible IMO
I'll have to x2 all of that.
