I resent that. I’m a contributor and I’m as disliked as any member here…

Mr. Roberts:

Read the last post I made on this thread; I think it’s applicable to a lot of the authors on this site.

Why does T-Nation get bashed?
For a lot of reasons and they’re not all unwarranted…

For starters most of the posts outside of this site cite that people like the articles but not the products or a few things about the boards.

For one thing A LOT of hype comes with the products. HOT-ROX…Fat loss Phenomenom? That’s a big claim to live up to? I’d say it’s good but not THAT good.
Carbolin 19 is being compared to Anavar, rightly so based on the study…but still a lot to live up too…
MAG-10…They put the words Pro-Steroid on the bottle and said it had gains as good as the real stuff…I’ve never tried the juice and only used one bottle so I can’t comment on it.
Spike: It’ll blow your head off! And it’s a damn good product! But not everyone responds to it the same way.

Basically the point I’m getting at is that a lot of people outside of this site feel that just as we bash the “7 page special reports” in muscle mags that the pitch given when a new product comes out here is often the same thing.

Also the whole attitude on this site has shifted over the years; whereas this site used to have a lot less bias and reccomended a lot more stuff from other companies even if it competed with their products; yet now the GENERAL (not in all cases) attitude often seems to be well if it’s not Biotest it’s crap (for the most part). And because of this this site as seen as being inundated with a bunch of big-heads.

The next biggest concern is the moderation present on this site. I often feel that my views are left unexpressed when a post of mine is censored b/c it might be taken as negative (understandable), but b/c of it I won’t buy a product from here just based on a boards reccomendation (how do I know that negative experiences are being expressed) and I prefer to check other sites.
I’m not a registered user on another site and I do not intend to be but it’s often good to see how others have fared.

@ supplements:

Letting through all posts concerning supplements uncensored would be interesting for the forum members and probably valuable feedback for Biotest as well. The problem I see in this context is that it would provide a great opening for trolls and people with an agenda for some other company in the field to launch attacks and cheap shots. How could the average reader differentiate?

I say we go over there and just ragdoll the whole lot.

After that we could play Texas Hold’em and blaze a few wheaties.
