Yes, I believe it is a good choice because Daniel is far more skilled in properly running a forum than I am.  And on the note of skill, I feel that I can competently handle the management of the rest of the site.  I just want my website to be one of the last remaining bastions of free speech available on the internet today.

 ;D

In 2007 he did but he has not posted since.  :'(

Matt likes to believe his forum represents free speech. What a joke. The only things free there are the vulgar and offensive posts of resident hero Dan Duchaine. Matt stands there looking on and declares what a wonderful thing he has going. Even Goodrum knows that is no place to hang around. Clearly, Matt is showing poor judgment is assigning control of his forum to that individual. Of course, no one believes that because Matt is there keeping the threads going all day long.

Getbig is more than free enough for anyone. We don't see Ron posting in a vulgar or offensive way nor would he condone such behaviour. People wonder how on earth a non-bodybuilder managed to have the most popular muscle forum on the net. Ron obviously does a lot of things right.

There's more to Ron than meets the eye, so that's a lot.

Never thought I`d actually agree with Basile but he`s right on target with his observation.

Hey Vince, just to let you know, I've dropped my protein intake by about 100 grams/day and increased my carbs. I know this has been troubling you for some time now and I just want you to know that some of your wisdom doesn't go unnoticed. I mean, you've been in the game for 100 years now, though you can easily pass for 90 years, so I believe there must be some things of value that you've picked up along the way. I'm just not always sure what it is.  ;D

A broken clock is right twice a day.

BTW Wes, like you, I'm now an IronAge outcast. No longer on that board anymore. That was the first bodybuilding board I signed up on when I got interested in the sport again. It use to be good and a place of refuge when Shawn ran it but now no more. Plus, with Meeko now in Heaven it's just not the same. His passing really hit me harder than I thought it would.

PIP Joe Meeko. He was truly one of the good guys. So few left anymore.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on.  That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization.  That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.

Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it.  I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where  the latest news, happenings and stories are there.   I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.

Lets talk about the NPC.  The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great.  Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels.  Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division.  I enjoy it.

Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it.  It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that.  I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.

So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here.  If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.

I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site.  I do very well in what I do.  I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.  

When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.

As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else.  Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.


Ron, I'd like to get your view on a couple of things.

Are you the only one who finds it funny that, 15 years ago, everyone was claiming that fitness shows were replacing female bodybuilding, only to find that NOW fitness shows seem to be going extinct, themselves?

I find it ironic that fitness competitors were fighting tooth-and-nail, to prove they weren't just T&A girls. Now, they're migrating to figure (and even, bikini) shows to be JUST THAT: T&A girls.

Do you think that had anything to do than the perhaps-less-than-talented-fitness gals were getting waxed by the ones with heavy gymnastic backgrounds?

Why did you leave IA?

Lets just say I was encourage to leave. I've been getting a lot of warnings over the past two years or so for my uncouth behavior. The Meeko thing was the last straw. When a man who lived a healthy and wholesome lifestyle dies at 49 questions were raised. We were admonished that such questions were inappropriate and that we should just "contemplate" on his passing and "reflect" on his life. I'm like "What? WTF are you talking about?" The guy had the longest ongoing thead on the board and many grew to truly love and admire him, me being one of them. But it is inappropriate to wonder what happened to him? I should just contemplate and reflect? I admonished the mods that IronAge has become such a politically correct fag board run by stuffy old fogeys.

I think that here on GetBig the line does get crossed sometimes and I don't like the preoccupation with homosexuality here. But if the choice is rolling in the mud with peeps that aren't going to pull any punches and don't expect me to do the same as oppose to wearing a dinner jacket and drinking wine with my mother-fing pinky up -- I go for the mud everytime.

I'll check it out. But to be honest, I like GetBig. It's not perfect but I like it the way it is. But I come from a different perspective than Ron. I don't see this board as primarily a bodybuilding board. It's evolved into something way more than that. It's kind of a locker room and one of the few bastions left where a man can act like a man or get ridiculed for being a pussy. Men, left together on their own, can be very disgusting and vile creatures. Ribbing, mocking and taunting is how we show our love. This board will only take so much whining and sensitivity before, as a previous poster said, "Drink some cement and harden the fak up." In our increasingly feminized culture we need this.
I don't want some fat fuk posting a pic only to have people say, "Good base. You have a lot of potential. Work more on bringing the quads up." I like that here they say, "You're a fat fuk. Your potential is less than zero. What compelled you to even post a pic? You are hopelessly delusional. Please kill yourself."

I like the fights, the ownings, the humor. It keeps me on my game. I remember one of the first posts I read on GetBig when a newbie introduced himself with the opening statement, "Hey dudes! " then started going on about his interest and stats and what not. The very next reply was, "I started hating you at 'Hey dudes!'" I loved that! Men don't introduce themselves and start giving you their whole life history. You just jump into the fray, take your beatings, toughen up, and start dishing it out yourself.

Ron, you have a board unlike any other. It needs to be tweaked a little. I'm glad that you seemed to have put an end to the graphic gay porn on the G&O and got rid of the pathological haters like The New Hank Wood and Switzennegger. But keep it like the wild west that it is. Bring back Special Ed and Block.

BTW, if Marty is reading this, I just want to say "hi." LMFAO!
