I feel as though like any buisness or organization with people who have a common goal in mind we need to regroup every so often to make sure we are going in the right direction.
@CensoredBoardsSuck posted something yesterday that I think everyone needs to read. I think some of us have forgotten where the beaten path is here...so to speak. I was gonna link them but I know people are lazy so here you go.
CBS:
"No one cares about your personal opinion. If a new member brings a thoughtful argument to a discussion, no experienced member will attack them for it.
Most of what I've done on this forum has been to help educate new members on the dangers of the steroid black market. So have most of the other critics that 2dumb says gives this place a weird vibe -- which I'm sure most sources would echo. Good! This isn't a source friendly forum. So you can save the woe is me ""expected response" from a "vet"" thing. Bring something more to the discussion than defending sources for shady behavior because "it's your opinion" and you'll get a more respectful response from the members that have been tirelessly fighting that shady behavior for years."
CBS:
"I don't care about apologies. I'd rather you got the point I was trying to make and decided to join those who are trying to keep the forum honest. New members that are willing to help are always needed because old members fall away, but sources and their shills and dickriders never stop coming. Scammers never stop coming. Members who join for greed never stop coming. It's a never ending battle on an uncensored forum, but it's one that must be fought by the members or the administration will be forced to do it. But then it won't be an uncensored forum anymore.
I don't think people always appreciate how rare a forum like Meso is. It's the antithesis of the model used by every other AAS forum. It's a gem in a pile of shit.
@Millard Baker could have sold out to the sources a long time ago and he would have made a fortune. He didn't because he truly believes in what he's doing. But his experiment will fail if the members don't share his vision. He's given the members the power. Use it wisely."
