Newbs. They are all over the show. Asking the same questions and getting the same answers.

I am not saying copying and pasting a new version of a previous response is too tedious, but please, "Hi, i am so and so, upper 20's BF, what should my first cycle be, I am not looking to bulk just wanting some fat loss and holding on to the 60kg's of lean mass I have acquired in 2 to 10 years of on and off training. What should I use and where can I buy it? My friend said I should take 2 of these pink pills everyday and it will turn me into the hulk. What is PCT?" is getting pretty old.

I know I am not the first to offer advice to newbs and that I am not the most prolific poster but I still feel that a sticky "Read this first" with some quality info from guys like MxT, Admin, Netro and the like wll be usefull.

Just a suggestion

@dj>> Sorry man forgot to list you under the honorable mentions B)

At least one vet on the forum agrees....

Should we just start a Newbie thread and hope admin and the like will sticky it?

I reckon its the personal interaction guys, most noobs just want somebody to tell them what to do, whether its the milk man or the guy at the pharmacy ... they are too scared to interpret what we already know in the wrong way ... look i'm not disagreeing with what you said ceej just my 2c. Having a sticky is a cool idea just wondering how many guys will do the time and read it? well the serious ones at least thats for sure, the ones that will come back with intelligent questions .... so thumbs up for the intro to AAS sticky :) And we also have a download section where they can start ....

@dg>> Very valid point on which I agree 100%. I am not trying to for one moment to say I am the most knowledgeable right now nor am I saying I have years of experience. Point is to educate yourself and accept that you continually learn. I had researched my first cycle for about 6 months before having a clue what I wanted to do. Then I still bounced my ideas around in forums until I had something to work with. The interaction is definatley crucial.

Maybe a sticky "Read this first" that does not tell you what you need to do, but one that tells you what you need to know and research?

e.g. What is PCT? You need to know this. Here are a few valuable sites "URL LINK HERE" and read this and that thread under the PCT section.

I still honestly believe this would be a valuable addition to the site as a sticky. This is also relevant to the other sections..... Maybe have under a different site section named "NEWB ZONE" or something of the sort.

Reading some of the posts made with regards to "my friend/guy in white T and cargo pant said I should do this" is scary considering what you could be doing to yourself.

In my opinion un-educated users is what is giving gear a bad rep. cure the world one newb at a time ;)

:laugh: ahhhhhhhh shucks!

im a newbie at this forum,just joined this morning! but i browsed through alot of articles here before i asked.

not all of us are that lazy. and it is a fair load to read, i think that people should just post their topics with informative headings though, perhaps someone asked something similar to my question, but it didn't catch my eye.

check out my post "advice on creatine and glutamine", thats fairly informative i'd say.

over n out ;)
