Stop it. You are not allowed to make sense on getbig. Get with the program.

I apologize.

How did they lose money? The template for that site was something like $350 a year to use it? All the posts were lost. The bench claim wasn't the only strength claim that was outrageous.

Because they paid Perine for a board that went under and folded like a year later... Waste of money...

[rocket]

I suspect someone paid Perine to close Ironage. Same motive here on Getbig where pre 2005 posts have disappeared. Now who has money and influence to do that? Someone didn’t want stories and information out there. By the way, Ironage eventually sucked big time when solid posters were given the boot for no reason.

Think Ron reset the board around then (edit: actually, think that was around 2003)

He always used to trim threads though, to keep the DB bloat down.

They posted hanky's rap sheet so he had his lawyers shut them down.

[BBSSchlemiel]

Professional Muscle is still up. Any of you Getbiggers go there? I got major schadenfreude shocks going there as I read about one shit head after another destroying their health.

If you see this face, it's either a very good thing or a very bad thing. There is no in-between.

My favourite bad movie ever.

Someone pointed out that the Eath government are basically a take on nazis and that kinda made the movie even better.

I love that movie.

The book is good too although quite different from the movie as is usually the case.

Heinlein had some strong opinions about politics which are in the book.

A few things -

It got too popular. Lots of new blood, but the new blood wasn't funny or fun.

A move toward over moderation. After awhile, there were more forbidden topics, etc....

The popularity brought spammers, and they were just killing all the boards there, but especially the Misc.

New owners trying to make money. Misc was super popular, but it was also known as a savage board outside of bodybuilding. The kid that killed himself, Elliot Rodger, etc..... all got attached to the Misc forum. It was bad optics for the owners. The Delucas ramped up the moderation a bit, but it got way worse under each generation of newer owners.

A few years ago, they hid the forum from general view. They claimed it was to cut down on spam, but really it just seemed like a way to get rid of it. I'm not sure if it ever came back after that.               

Tbh this sucks, it was easily the best forum ever, I wouldn't even call it a ''bodybuilding'' forum, they almost always talked about anything except bodybuilding. I guess it's a friendly reminder that everything comes to an end. MD died too, all I have now is this site, and maybe I'll find some other forums

Yep, his politics and philosophy are intertwined throughout his books. My favorite is Stranger In A Strange Land.

One of the greatest Sci-fi writers.

Clearly I need to get me some Heinlein - confess my Sci-Fi/Sci-Fantasy has been pretty Brit-centric to this point (not exclusively)

That book seems a bit pricey though - I'm seeing £30 and up - is it worth it..?  Hard Q to answer of course, but I've done Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury, etc.

According to bb.com they're supposed to be working on it and are redoing everything.  We're refugees on another forum right now until they fix it though.  Sadly lately the misc is full of non-lifting, mentally ill trolls anyway that suck the fun out of it.
