When you round up the usual suspects they will be the same but their names will have changed!
-
It will be much different.
::)

It'll still be here just with some newer twat gimmicks.

i came here in 2003 or 2004. It's about the same now.... but not quite. No major changes, just more mature, more decade-old inside jokes and references. more regulation. it'll probably be smaller then... back then, there were only 3-4 actual bodybuilding forums. Now there are thousands of them, and pros are sometimes banned from posting on others, etc.
Getbig 2005-2007 was some of the coolest internet time we'll ever know.

scary to think this or comforting to know?

Its pretty crazy to think, how new the internet was back than.
You sometimes get the feeling that back in the golden age fellas were posting pics and shit. The reality is nobody has a sweet fucking clue where the internet will be in 20 years.

The jury was still out on whether or not Arnold was juicing. Daddywaddy was still fit. Debussey was still around. There was hope Arnold might make an actual comeback.
There was a bodybuilding boom at the time me thinks.
The internet introduced an entire globe of people to each other.
Before 2005, there was no facebook, no youtube, and the internet in general was more geeky teen oriented.
It was taken for granted that youd never know what your dads generation thought about beating off, or fucking sluts, because in the real world these intergenerational conversations couldn't happen.
The internet was for trafficking low quality poor, where you desperately searched for a pic of a girl with a shaved twat.

Over a decade ago there was an epic war between Mayhem and Getbig.
I'm a son of both. You might notice that I still follow mayhem etiquette but also respect getbigs freedoms.
Wolfox is a product of war and compromise. 8)

^It aint that serious bro

In five years getbig will serve as the online Mecca of bodybuilding.
Monday night football will be replaced with Monday night bodybuilding.
Monday night RAW will be replaced with Monday night RON.

On the 6th August 2019 we'll still be waiting for pics from whatshisname.

sounds like someone that used to be a getbigger.
-
Getbig will be ruled by The Organization.

Honestly, i think Ron will expand into covering mma, and getbig will become the premiere bodybuilding, fitness and mma board on the net.
-
question is will you be any different
-
There won't be a getbig in less than 5 years from now.

I was on Bolex, Meso and UG back in 1998-9. Fuck i helped shut down Meso LOL. It was pretty good then.
It won't be any different here, just more Tbombz memes to laugh at.

what was so good about 2005-2007
A combination of a few things.
Professional bodybuilding was more interesting and getbig served as a bit of a "trap" for professional bodybuilders. It's hard to really replicate a perpetually irate Titus posting pure sarcasm at yet more talk of him being the undercover pro - or Kmalia not being able to hand the thunderdome or shawn ray copping shit, but morphing into a true getbig hater (long forgotten now, but he was the most pure getbig shitslinger pro that ever was). Bob Chic copping shit from all angles - sometimes Priest, sometimes people on his pirate shirts. People in the industry coming to argue on this board, the emergence of Melvin Goodrum over at the supplement section, harrassing Chris Mason, Klaus Doring, muscle mayhem rivalry (chad nichols board).
Too many bridges burned now, though - and bodybuilding has less charisma, currently - anyway.
The board was just a meaner place, back then and really, in a positive way.
The mental midgets that are able to run free today had no foothold. Most of the trash threads that are posted these days would have just been moved elsewhere, absolutely immediately.
Nowadays, there's around 50% threads in G&O that would probably have been dumped in the Y, immediately by Hedgehog.
It was still a total madhouse for miscellanea in those years of course, just less bullshit from people with 30000 insignificant, one line glass of water posts in like 2 years ::)
I'm not into this concept that everything was better in the past, but there were more interesting people posting per capita, back then.
TLDR: There are still interesting people, here - but there's an element of fucking horrendous weaksauce with no essential redeeming qualities that infest, here now.

2005ish was when getbig first started to be well known / have a reputation so there was an explosion of posters / volume. It as also the "prime" of some legendary getbiggers (sarcasm 240 Mars etc.).
