Please join me in welcoming the good bro's from steroidology.
I have always admired the steroidology site and think of them as an asset in the fight to advance our cause.
And to our members here, please be careful with the information that you choose to share with other bodybuilding sites on the Net. Make sure to use encrypted email and make sure you trust and know who runs the sites that you visit. It is always very troubling to hear about sites that are hacked or subpoenaed and to learn that they do not have adequate security in place to protect your confidential member information.
We look forward to having our new members around and to all your contributions. Welcome!
This is very true. I remember when elite got hacked about 9 or 10 months ago and EVERYBODY'S personal info, addresses, phone #'s, etc got out. Hell the hacker was even nice enough to e-mail certain people and share all their personal info with them. Signatures were also being hacked and changed to say different things. The hacker was obviously just having fun and showing the people who run this site that it was VERY unsecure and he proved his\her point.
The moral of this story is before you join a site that requires personal information to be given out, do some research and you will find that there are many sites that do not require personal information in order to join. And if you absolutely insist on paying to be a member of a site, then make damn sure that you research that sites history so that you know that your personal information is secure.
George's reply:
This is very inaccurate. The integrity of our members' information has never been compromised. We have had server trouble in the past, usually latency related to the tremendous growth of the site, but we have never been successfully hacked. Rest assured that our members' information has never been shared or seen by anyone.
