Thank you Big A and mods/kilo klub status

Tom · Aug 20, 2009

I very much appreciate the status of kilo klub member. Thank you Big A and mods. I don't take this lightly. I consider it an honor from you and an accomplishment for me. This is by far the best board on the net and one I consider my home. I try to contribute in a positive way but have learned much more than I have ever contributed. Again I know kilo klub status is no longer just handed out to anyone with one thousand posts but needs to be earned. I am highly honored to be a kilo klub member and much respect to you all........

Congratulations Tom!!!!! Well deserved after reading through some of your posts my friend.

Kaiser · Aug 20, 2009

Well Tom, you certainly deserve it. You were worth it at 500.

Phidias · Aug 20, 2009

More than deserved IMO!

Congrats Tom!

And yes, as Kaiser outlined some are already KK material at 100 posts when others will never be at 5,000...

Hehe, I'm also a recent kilo club member as well. I'd like to thank the mods as well as big a. While I've had my ups and downs with the members here, at the end of the day, we are all here as a community to share our thoughts knowledge. I'm looking forward to staying here.

I'm on the fence on this one. Not just you, but anyone with 1000 posts or more must have unbelievable knowledge or way to much time on their hands. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in the whole scheme of things, but I don't post just to repeat what someone else has already said ten times or to give props. I guess to me it is irrelevent how many posts one has and more about the quality and knowledge involved in the post. Some guys have been here for six months and have 1000 posts, so to me I guess it is meaningless. Just my opinion. Again this is not personal against anyone, because some guys probably have been here long enough to have a legitimate 1000 posts, but who's counting? To kind of prove my point, I come here to this forum at least once everyday, and have since I joined and you can see that I am no where near 1000 posts yet. I don't like to give advice or answer questions unless I'm totally sure of my answers. This stuff is to serious to just be throwing around half ass information. Again, this is not aimed at anyone in particular, just my opinion.

Well, there is a reason for rewarding people with a certain amount of valid posts. Where would the forum be with your line of thinking? It actually wouldnt be a forum, it would just be a knowledge base. We build a community here and allow for free thinking. As for someone repeating what someone elese says; well you have been doing that from when you were born right? I mean if you didn't you wouldnt have learned anything and you would still be infantile. Point is, everyone learns from somewhere, why would a forum be different? I know a shit load about AAS and have for years but research taught me. Now, I am getting ready to learn more about GH, which I do not know much about. does that mean that once I learn it I shouldn't repeat what educated people taught me to help someone else out? Should I keep quiet when someone asks a question and I know the answer because MainEvent or BigA taught me something a year before? Where would this line of thinking take the board or any of its members? Take Phil Hernon for instance; He is a great teacher and trainer. Are all of his responses his natural thought or did he learn like the rest of us, gather knowledge and assemble it in his own manner to create a beneficial response? Just some thoughts...
