Beating-up newbies

Bro's

As you can see from the amount of post and date joined I am a newbie to this board....

I have been on other boards over the years and did the stupid newbie post with some stupid newbie questions... I have also seen newbies get beat up on other boards for asking dumb ass questions or posting dumb s*^%.....

When I read their post, I understand where they are coming from and always check the thread to read the abuse he/she will be getting....
I know it's coming and now understand why it's coming. But, some guys would just rip them a new ass.
My point is this, I have not really seen that here. And the stupid questions I have asked here I have gotten a respectfull answer everytime.

I have seen the way guys respond to newbie here and I can see why there are more bro's on this site then any other. Because the newbies are told with respect what to do and not.... They are NOT ran off/beat-up for wanting to know the answers to what must guys would consider a stupid question.

The Mod and other guys here to a GREAT job.... and this is a awesome board!
Thats why be far it's one of the largest BB boards on the net, the knowledge and respect here is endless....

Fitst off welcome, that was a nice preemtptive strike. LOL Seriously though, most guys on here will be cool if you don't go asking about prices and sources and what not, and have done SOME research. My 2 cents is that it gets bad when guys come on here wanting to have everyone do the legwork and reading for them, or just try and find a source and thats not what this board is about. Nobody I know of on Elite actually does any steroids, it's all an act.

You are doing it right man, keep reading, learning and asking and you will go far. Welcome.

I don't mind answering the same question 100 times. You get used to it. You either like to help people or you don't. It gets boring for some people, it's not for others. I don't like when people come on and say "I bought some ______ from this guy I know, what do I do with it?" any more the next guy and I'll tell him to hang around and read. But everyone who comes to the message boards for the first time is nervous about writing something and looking stupid. I was. More people should keep that in mind when they answer a newbie. Otherwise you chase them away and they go back to getting bad information from "a guy at my gym who is huge".
The first thing I do when I come to the board is look for questions with 0 replies and answer them unless they are ridiculously off topic. No one wants a big ol goose egg on their thread.

If you haven't seen it, it is becuase you haven't been around long enough

There are alot of knowledgable bros here, and if some newbie comes and starts talking nonsense, it is as blantant as being written in red ink. The vets know (and I am not one of them) who to whale on when it is needed.

But on the other hand, if a newbie shows that he has done his work and done his research, this board can offer a wealth of info. If you stick it out, it is well worth it.

Welcome.

EF is the best site you will ever find in terms of bodybuilding/training advice etc. I've read on all of the other boards...you can delete them from your favorites, because all of the people who know anything are here.

And BTW: Welcome to EF.

You make a good point bro…. GetBig was the first board I really went to, I went there pretty exclusively for about a year then one day it hit me…

There are some solid bros there, but way to many assholes. I found this place and it felt like home from post #1.

The mods here are excellent and tons of good bros call this site home.

Welcome aboard, I am sure you will enjoy your ride!

Ditto all of that. I have certainly taken some lumps, but I stuck around, and have learned........well an inordinate amount. I am a huge advocate for EF. I have done the other boards also, and this is hands down the best for a newbie (or experienced AAS user IMO) to learn about improving their bodybuilding, fitness, strength or overall body maintenance goals.

Good luck to you!!!!

Welcome, I feel the same way a lot of good bro's. When the rare A-hole comes around they get bombed.
