I thought this might me an interesting thread as I was reading some of the responses on the thread about that fraud guy/girl panning themselves as "trinity d". So I wonder who are the people on this board and where did they come from how did they get here. Most of us don't want to post real names in this game but I think everyone can post about their internet persona.
Massive, interesting…I’ll take a swing at this…
My start is a little different than others. Never competed or wanted to compete, found the boards later. Started this life after getting sick of cutting weight in wrestling. Metabolism/relationship with food was abnormal and I was sick of staving myself, sitting in saunas with garbage bags on, etc. Met a guy who was able to help, no internet needed.
First run: Organon yellow caps, Russian Ds, Russian Sus (the ones in blister packs). That was all it took…problem solved.
Found the internet later, 95-96, mostly due to my friend that founded Bolex after he lost the domain name Anabolix (Bill claimed that). He showed me this online world. I thought it was odd at first. Talking to people I couldn’t see in person was…awkward. I liked to look at someone in the eye…Never posted too much but lurked a lot. First Bolex, then UG and Gade. Gade had a nice chat room.
Let’s see…what I remember from those days…
-Chatting with people on ICQ
-“List Me” in every other thread
-Serostim kits with no holograms…
-Nutropin AQ with blue caps and no labels (NY Muscle, thanks for the reminder)
-Steris, Steris, everywhere…
-Pronoabol from India in blister packs
-Tubs of 1,000 pink Ds from Thailand
-Brazilian Hemos
-Hulkster email newsletters (“Be careful and watch yer back”)
-Dan’s Dirty Dieting Newsletters (hard copies) and his Underground Steroid Handbook
-Oilbased/Insomniac…was a good guy at first, spoke with him numerous times until he decided to take a different path. One of the countless guys who started good…then went bad…
-The Ttokkyo boom in the U.S…and its eventual collapse
-Other various names…Beach Boy, Flex, JJ/Insane1, Simian, Leighton, Haldun (Pez, anyone?), Z Rated Man, Sevante the Pimp, SBC, Testy/Cole, Basskiller (Fina expert), Damien Borleone/DB, you scumbag punk, I hope karma comes around.
That’s what I remember. As for what I’ve learned…eh, won’t go there as I want to keep this positive.
