What's everyones thoughts on carbs?

I read this one bodybuilding.com article about restricting yourself to 30g carbs per day for 5.5 days and then, not really unleashing, but sort of letting go the next 1.5 days. So Sunday-6pm Friday this guy would go 30g carbs a day and Friday night and Saturday he wouldn't regulate. He argued it gives a similar physiological response to steroids because of how your body acts on carbs/off carbs and would burn more fat.

I then read another nutrition guide by another bodybuilding.com writer that pegged most bodybuilders eating 3-400g carbs a day. Now, I'm not a bodybuilder, but this is a staggering difference.

At the moment I estimate I am probably at around 145-180g carbs per day. I was going to try to cut to 30, and realized that it's almost impossible. Even my protein has 3g of carbs. I decided to cut down on them instead, down to around 100g or under.

Who is right in this bodybuilding.com article war?
