And during this time, Johnny Falcon has created another 12 threads about time travel, grape juice and meth smoking.

Ron I have said this before - putting somebody in time out means fuck all if you can just switch accounts or register again.

You need to freeze new registrations for at least 6 month - that way your actual account will become valuable to people hence they take
greater care what they post and are more afraid of consequences.

Ron also getbig is and always was a special board, much hated by many but more loved by this community, I know it can be a headache from times but remember big boy ;) we love you very much ;) ;)

Edit: if you screen username be more selective - just a couple of days a guy with the name of jewwhit or similar joined - I mean what else do you need to identify a gimmick.

I still think the board is doing ok.

BUT, countless gimmicks and useless posts by Johnny Falcon dumb things down. If Ron can so easily, like he pointed out, see who has what gimmicks...why can't he smack those gimmicks around?

I guess you missed Ron's post where he just called you out for posting on the MXPeacekeeper account. Don't call for the heads of gimmicks when you're posting on one yourself, dipshit.

First of all, get it into your head that this is a bodybuilding board and the G&O is for topics bb related. Duh. That is why there are other boards are (30+) for other topics, and which they get moved too. Second, talk about Gimmicks. Do you really think that I am that stupid as to not know that MXPeacekeeper and GigantorX are not the same person. Dude - I know, so lay off the gimmick, and just use one to complain.
 

Actually, it shouldnt be and it is getting old. Yes, pointing out criticisms and debating and getting 'owned' is interesting, but pure haterade that some of you think is funny is not.  

A puppet. With string. Another stupid analogy.  You know, this was started because we liked bodybuilding and related topics, and wanted to know more about the niche of the sport. It isnt here for some of you to bash bodybuilders and bodybuilding in every post you do, and always complain about everything negative. Yes, I look it it, look at the last 30 posts that someone has done, see it is all negative, and boom - it is old.    

I am looking for ways to promote bodybuilding, the expos, because I LIKE GOING TO THESE SHOWS AND EXPOS, not juts complaining about everything. I like the NPC. the IFBB, with their faults and all.  You don't like it, don't go.  Shit, some of you are worse than a nagging grandmother who sees the glass have empty all the time, not half full.  

So get it into your head, it is a bodybuilding and anything related to it board. Not a haterade and bashing board to get your kicks off and ruin the expo and sport. I like coming here to see get stories, talk about what is going on, and having fun, not pure crap and hatered, and unrelated topics, which, when some are so stupid the get deleted, and others get moved to the right board.

Correct, random topics will be moved eventually. Bodybuilding and other related stories in the news, industry, figure, fitness and more will stay.  Plain attacks on every thread that is unrelated, porn, stupid videos that are not related to the topics, gay slamming every time, will be deleted or moved.

You don't like the censorship, too bad.  You need to enjoy the boards, and contribute to them rather than complain.

Yeah, I saw his post you fucking dipshit. And it proves my point, my MXPeacekeeper was easily smashed, so what does Ron let the countless other gimmicks (and there are a ton) roam the board? >:(

Of course that's why you made a gimmick and went right to calling Ron out. What I'm gathering is that you're too afraid to complain on your main account so you resort to making gimmicks. Brutal insecurities.

Ron - 1
GigantorPeacekeeperMX - 0

I hear you, but one can't be too careful with criticism on Get Big anymore.

You gather wrong though, I've complained plenty, and I just wanted to play around with a gimmick.

In spite of all, this is still the best bodybuilding message board on the net.  No forum is as entertaining or informative as getbig.

Agreed. Ron is still the man. I think getbig has an ebb and flow about it, sometimes shit will be stricter than other. Right now I believe the mods are tightening things up a bit, but it will loosen, as they have other commitments to tend to in their personal or professional lives.

I just think it is at is best when the cats are away and the mice can play!

Ron's site, Ron's rules.
He is the man paying the bills so maybe you should put your hand in your pocket and buy a share of the cost and responsibility of running GB if you got such a problem with how Ron chooses to do it . And if you don't like that you could always hit the cyber-highway and find a better bodybuilding site - which you ain't gonna do.

Get Big USED to be on of the most reasonably moderated sites on the internet. It was a place that was laugh out loud funny but was also stocked with solid and informed posters. Discussions on all topics were great. Now, Ron and his cabal have cracked down on the very things that made Get Big one of the best places on the net for anything.

Now, the best posters must hide behind stupid gimmicks to let loose and be entertaining. Those that speak from their real handles hold back because they don't want to speak their minds and get tossed in Time Out.

Sad state of affairs.

  What a load of bullshit. I'm a moderator here and we seldom delete/move any posts, even when the posters insult us. You think it's bad here? Have you ever been to other internet message boards? There are boards that will give you a one week suspension from posting for even calling another poster a "fool", whilst in Getbig people regularly insult other posters' mothers and don't even get a warning for it. The only things that will get you in time out are posting gay porn on the main boards - regular porn is ok -, making anti-Semitic remarks and calling Peter McGough fat. With the exception of these three things, everything else goes: threads ridiculing other posters fatness/gayness, threads ridiculing the financial status and family of other poster - see the Derek Anthony vs Squatfucker feud -, posting pics of naked female genitalia and of double-anal penetration, racist posts - except for anti-Semitism. Hell, Matt C wrote thousands of paragraphs about the supremacy of whites and Asians over other races for months, and he was only put in time out when he finally started to make anti-Jewish remarks. Gebig is by far the freest board on the net.

Christ, calling Peter McGough something and anti-semitism is all it takes? You can call a black person a spook and black but making an anti-jewish remark is taboo?

Huh?

I miss MattC.

Agree 100%. Ron lets us talk about men in thongs online for free. I think we should be grateful and at least be a little respectful of the rules. Heres some ripped glutes to even things out.

You seem angry today!

Ron already destroyed my gimmick.....17 posts in. There are about 150 left out there though, most of them belonging to Alex.

The A-Team is with you on this.

Have fun.
