The cold, honest truth. Idolized that dick, always had good things to say about him. Right up there fellating his ego with the best of them. I posted a reply in that thread of his about dustin's criminal record saying 'maybe it was possession of steroids', he didn't like that (the gall of me to suggest the god may be hasty in his judgement!), and started throwing a tantrum about his top elves saying I was a dual-member on both boards and some sort of 'sleeper agent'. Then when I called him out on it he said it was previous members of this board, but I had had enough.
I wanted access to those sources everyone over there rants and raves about, plus hes locked down 75% of the goddamn forum (now the UGL forum too) to wizards-only so you can't even find a source on your own without a bunch of ridiculous guesswork. And after he said what he did, there's no fucking way a mod is going to sponsor me for wizard level access. I'm not going to contribute to some place where my fucking name has been dragged through the mud by the owner himself because his fee-fees are hurt that I dare question him in any way, let alone argue with him. There's just no point. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself, and he made it painfully obvious that day.
don't feel too bad, you're not missing out on a whole lot except maybe pharma gh and human grade gear, which they did seem to have readily available. i say seem because i never ordered any of it, stuff's ridiculous prices. that's to be expected with fda gh but how many people can afford to pay $20/tab for pharma caber?
in a way that site actually hindered a lot of information because he banned discussions of things like homebrewing, generic gh's, peptides, etc.
honestly i'm starting to think those sources are all in his pocket. i mean the shit with the kigs was suspicious enough, plus we all already know they have to pay to be there (he said so himself) but now that i think about it, it's becoming more and more blatantly obvious what he's slowly been creating over time:
he pimps these "top secret ifbb pro sources", and he pimps himself with a fucking clothing line and facebook account. even auctions off stuff to non-wizards on occasion. so much for discretion. he bans all talk of generic gh and homebrewing (two huge moneysavers for the end customer), bans going on other forums, etc. he can't ban the ugl board, that would be too obvious. at the same time he starts promoting a bunch of double-digit post count hardcore dickriders to wizard status while well-informed and informative members have to make hundreds of posts to get access.
after a while he purges all the smart and helpful mods like dustin, demonizes them, and replaces them with said dickriders. i saw lean transform overnight from a generally agreeable guy to gh15's attack dog. sends death threats to anyone who dares question him. then he adds a newbie corner which conveniently doesn't have access to other parts of the forum.
here the noobies are brainwashed by his goon squad into thinking those sources are the best ones in the game and you're not a "real bodybuilder" unless you use them. at which point they are released into the board, they make do with a few ugl purchases but once they swear allegiance to the gh15 army they are allowed access to the board sources. sounds a little too convenient, if you ask me. i'll admit i fell for some of the gh15 mythos at first but my common sense tells me otherwise. just wait, soon they'll start deleting old threads entirely to limit information.
anyways the whole thing is ridiculous and i am glad to be gone from there and seeing other people wising up as well. seriously now that i look at it, it feels like a huge comic book conspiracy. seriously dude if you want to sell gear there's better ways to do it.
