If you're reading this then this subject obviously interests you. Now, you can go through your training career and never become VIP on any board and still get all your gear and great info. However, like Mastercard membership has it's privileges. What are they, well refer to the first rule of The Fight Club. You'll have to find out yourself.
I will say, that many will desire to have the status and will never achieve it since they don't follow some simple principles. Sometimes, they don't care and other times their personalities will not allow them.
Also, I am not the last word on anything, I just like to force people to listen to my bullshit. But, I am a VIP on several boards like many here and it is harder then it was Pre ORD (Operation Raw Deal for you pnewbs).
Principles:
1. Follow the board rules. It takes 10 minutes and will prevent stupid mistakes. I read them everytime I join a board even though they are usually the same. Then, just acknowledge you comply.
2. Don't be a dick. This is hard for many and will keep them from the status everywhere they go except the board they open and assign themselves some dubious title. Now, this includes flaming another member as well as being tactful in reponses you do not agree with. If you disagree then that's fine, just be polite in your reply and don't take it personal even if they make it. The other member may be a dick, but the mods know and the dick is already on a short leash....trust me.
3. Participate. This means responses that are either insightful or clever. If don't have anything to say, then don't bother being a wind bag. Allong those lines don't be a post whore who either says welcome to 50 people in the intro section during one session or someone who just cuts and pastes shit.
4. Don't ask stupid questions. Your teacher was wrong, there are stupid questions. Who makes the best dbol reminds me of one such question asked by dozens of tools each month. Another, tip along this line is to learn how to search your question to see if it may have been asked before. Also, when you do ask an original question make sure to include some stats.
5. Don't over step. Some times their are conversations you should just not be a part off. If you have no idea on conversions then do not give advice. If you are 6' and 180, then don't speak as an authority on a bulking thread cuz your read an article by 1swolebro. Better to keep silent and have people think you're a fool then open your mouth and prove it.
6. Be patient. Never, request status as that is just a douche move. Don't kiss ass unless it's IB's as no one likes a brown noser but him. Just appreciate you are part of a good family.
7. Earn trust. You have only one screen name and that is your board rep period. In your dealings with sources or members always be beyond reproach. Always, keep your word and if you can't pay, don't play.
Now, they may be more on the subject and maybe others will add to this thread, but these seven while not the Holy Grail should allow you to become part of the inner circle, a family where if a VIP says it then that's enough for me.
