Soft? No, but more so a diversity of members here. I think there has been a shift in knowledge among the age groups and gym go'ers about PH's especially; whereas PH's are becoming more mainstream and common among the public. I remember being introduced to this forum, and to PH's back in 05' by a coworker/friend and at first I thought he was lying to me. My idea of steroidal compounds and such at that time was they were only pinned. I first came on here, and did research for quite a while before touching anything, and I remember looking in the steroid section and not being able to understand anything b/c of the detailed information, as well as the sheer volume, lol.
Nowadays things have changed. I now know at LEAST 10-15 guys in my gym UNDER 21 on PH's, in which half of them actually listened to me, either stopping or revamping their cycle (esp PCT). I think it is more common in High schools and with teens than people would think. From what younger guys in HS tell me, the popularity of them is becoming what creatine was when I was in HS, and is the thing to do: pop a pill, get strong. As a result, Ive heard "what is PCT," or "what is a SERM" many times. So I think a lot more young, inexperienced people tend to come on here, some asking dumb questions without research, or (Im not poking at young posters) cant necessary get involved in detailed threads, b/c they lack the experience of the compounds. I also think many of the vets have moved on, not as a result of what i stated above, but more so as time goes on,.. we all branch out, move on, and do other things in life. Hell there was a time I didn't log on for 6 months due to a hefty school/work schedule. I think a combination of things make it different than it was, but i wouldn't call it soft, or a bad thing at all. Things change,... thats life.
