The reason I believe there are so many "lurkers" that are not joining is because as far as anabolic info there are much more advanced boards. Most people hear about this board because of Skip and DC. Alot of people are looking for diet advice and they have noticed that on this board people are kinda feared to spill some of there knowledge due to the fact that they may be working with Skip.
Yes, a lot of members do join because of Skip's and DC's efforts. As for info in regards to AAS we do have a secure questions forum and of course members can send PM's to whichever moderator(s) they would like an opinion from.
As for diet advice there are several moderators/adminastrators here at IM that will gladly answer questions in an open forum or in a secure fashion. I have yet to see anyone's question go unanswered.
I must admit I am a little suprised at the openess of some of the boards in regards to AAS and other related compounds. I have also noticed that several boards are practically dedicated to such topics-but if you look at the quality of the board what do they really have?
Bolex is a classic example.
A board that is mostly about drugs turns to garbage in record time...because the people that hang there think drugs are all that matters in building muscle mass and dieting down.
And don't forget....big brother is lurking out there somewhere so caution is advised.
We have a no tolerance policy in regards to DNP and RX diruetics are frowned upon....you can check out a couple of our mods/adminastrators that achieve superb conditioning w/o using such compounds. These people lead by example...and the 19 y/o kid that is surfing the net with no knowledge of any of the compounds in BB'ing today, well which board is he really better off being a member of?
In the final analysis I think it is more appropriate to say that we just don't flaunt everything in the open. All topics are debateable....just use the secure questions forum.

When we sign on with Skip and DC that is part of their agreement that we do not talk diet, some of DC's diet is out there by him and 90% of his training is, but Skip stays between client and himself...
And that is fine. I am just saying that most people that find out about this site is because they are intrested in diet and training. NOT AAS..... Once they start reading some of the treads it is obvious to them that diet advise is not just laid out on the table much like they thought it would be. Not saying that it should be but alot of people come here thinking that they will find answeres to alot of there contest dieting.

Ed, point taking...that is why they should sign up and ask the question in the forum, it will ultimately get answered.
Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right
person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose,
and in the right way, that is not easy.

Exactly. What works for one person may not work for another.
One diet is for slimming down, another for bulking up, another for contest prep, etc. You can't expect all of this to be layed out.
What are YOU looking for exactly?
Is there something you need help with?
I don't think it's an issue fellas. As a newcomer to this board I can say that this board environment is terrific....it's a welcome change from the huge boards where your thread gets 2-3 replies if you're a newbie and then is buried...
There is definitely something to be said for smaller, close knit boards like this one. Ironplayground.com used to be like that but now it's gotten SO CLOSE that no one even talks about lifting anymore.....I've posted several times about nutrition/lifting questions and gotten zero answers....only to have the thread bumped down by politics talk or porn pictures.
That's why I came here....and I'm glad I did. You guys are a welcome sight compared to those bigger sites.
