These noobs have it far to easy!! I mean it only takes reading and most don't wanna do that!! And info is in reach. When I began posting back in 2000 I was happy to have info in front of me. And as far as looking for my first cycle when I was in college.... ALL sources were private. Completely private!! AND you needed to demonstrate knowledge about training nutrition supplements and gear. And actively participate for a while. before anybody respected you enough to help you and consider being your friend and want to help you and give you referral to their well guarded source. Not to mention you needed several vets to stand in for you before any source would respond to you!!
However it built a family like community on all the boards. I recall the early boards like Bigsport, The Rocks board, Renegade, musclemax, and my home boards StacksAndWeights then later Theironplayground (Tips). I was part of a faction on stacksandweights boardmaster labeled the young guns lol. We were all college students. Shame,Explosive,W8's, Cougar, high kicker, monkey,Alwaysniceguy are names I remember off hand. Posting learning and sharing is fun. But everybody has to want to learn and contribute. Everybody wants to be spooned everything now. Rude dog and power lifter likened looking for a source your first day to walking in a gym. Going up to the big dudes and asking where he gets his juice lol. Boards can be lots of fun. Not only bodybuilding but sharing relationship and financial info. Asking for and giving advice.
