Back then not matter how much trolling, photoshopping or styalking was done, rude shit was said, everybody was a bodybuilding fan to some degree and wouldn't be affraid to admit it. Today, an army of closet shmoes go out of their way to bash every possible angles they can find for about 8 hours a day.
Then you meet them at the Supermarket in the magazine section salivating at an MD magazine.
Hi Goatboy.

Hi Goatboy.
Gee, I was here in 2003, and long before that. Where were you, "interning" with Blechman?

Are you saying we got it all wrong and you're indeed a bb fan?

JPEGG dressed up for the occasion ;D. A very cool guy. If we were closer we would definitely hang out on the weekends, break stuff and scare kids.
Thank to JPEGG and his scale, we've got some pretty funny "how much you really weight" ambush video.

The difference is creativeness. I mean in that pic of us, there should have been atleast a few dildos, penises, and thongs in there alone.
No creativity anymore bro.

Exactly. Modding the unfunny is part of the job IMO.

quite frankly im extremely dissapointed in the lack of ownings ive seen in the past 2 years.
Its gone from Owning to Flaming.....Theres a big difference, and this new crop of posters doesnt seem to understand the difference between the two.

I find that funny as hell for some reason.

who cares what the difference is. It's cyclical.

by "crop" I think you mean the same introverted shmoes respawning gimmicks...
For some reason the Euro trashes are bigger trollers. Maybe it's new too them.

A downspiral is also cyclical.

I was a lurker for a good year before i started posting. So i used to see the glory years of 240 owning chic and whatnot.

One thing is for sure, these physiques did not grow from 2003/2004 to today :D

Part of the problem is the modding. Certain people/companies now have a stake in this site, which is VERY bad news for the free-thinkers. Some of us are no longer allowed to have an opinion.....
Also, there are now too many trolls, trying too hard to fit in. Too many gimmicks, et cetera. Now, you have some assholes with 200 posts in a day, calling out established posters. You have an asshole who farts, and has to tells us about it.
Too many threads, not enough quality. Back then, there would be gold on a daily basis, and you didn't see 70+ new worthless threads started by idiots, all fucking day, every fucking day. Believe it or not, most threads then were in SOME relation to bbing (even the funny ones). Now you have to skip thru the garbage to find something worth reading, let alone something good.
Another thing is, I honestly believe the additional boards have hurt this forum. Back then, EVERYTHING happened on G & O. Now you've got a board for pets for christsakes! What's next? A toe nail clipping board? ::)

True. It used to be better back in 04 - there were genuine ownings (240 and chick come to mind) and people talking about bodybuilding like genuine fans. It all started to go downhill when the general board was divided up into about five different sections and that stupid pet board was introduced. And don't get me started on the X,Y,Z boards or whatever the fuck they are for certain guys could run to in order to have their little exclusive comforting sessions with each other whenever they got dissed on the G&O. It's getting fucking lame - not to mention eurotrash like Sevastase and Stark making up random posts on any old shit, attention whoring and slowing the site with their drivel. Then you've got other guys who make baseless personal attacks on others with no skill involved at all - that shit's too easy to do and anyone could do it.
There you go, that's my meltdown for the day.
-
Things weren't any more bodybuilding themed then, that is complete and utter tripe. How quickly you all forget (or more to the point, were not there). Around that time the guest feature was on and this place was a circus with way less moderation. The board was twice as spiteful and very difficult for new posters to get a word in. I only finally registered because whilst guests were both free to say whatever they want but treated like second class citizens on actual genuine posts.
The difference between then and now is that there is a fair bit more mediocrity from some members.
-
I was there.

I see Special Ed conformed and lost weight and spicked/gelled his mane at his boyfriend's request .. did he threatened u to walk out ? Or u found on his cell suspicious TEXT messages from/to a GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scales of Justice!
I can't wait to see those clips!
-
Alex why don't you retire from GB and start a board that will blow GB away?
wait you already did ;D

ah the good old days
what a bunch of queers
get with the times or fuck off its only an internet forum ::)

Look at how small and fat Alex is, hes got shit genetics. Off the sauce the guy is a little tub of lard. ;D

Ed lean and dwarfing Alex.
Look at Alex's pot belly and double twenty three chins and lack of neck length development.

It was so much funnier, none of the squad shit.
You would literally laugh out loud at so many threads/comments/pics.
i believe the guest function to post should be brought back.
-
You have too many new guys and old guys a like trying to bash and be critical of every single little thing.. Not saying we shouldn't do that(as it's one of the good things about this place), but when you have so many fucking people going "epic" and "brutal" and bashing everyone left and right without any pic of their own, then it just hurts this place. Of course this doesn't mean we should kiss anybody's ass, but people need to cut down on some of this 'owned' nonsense. They're trying too hard to be like Squadfather.
We should continue to break balls, but not in every single topic.
-
these days you can't read a post without seeing the following words:
meltdown
epic
hope this helps
they were funny at first but like all jokes they get old
i also feel that getbig lacks a theme nowadays. in 2003 it was getbig vs mayhem and the whole tom prince feud
in 2004 it was mower
in 2005 it was 240 and the original squad, sarcasm and mars before they added the wannabes and ripoffs
in 2006 it was adonis and his controversial views plus special ed's funny stories
2007 and the early part of this year lack a theme, unless you want to count team nasser ::)
i say bring back guest posting (which is really just members logging out of their accounts ;D) and ban members who constantly post worthless threads like "stark"

Stark has about much originality as a carrot. Atleast people like daddywaddy and candizzle are things to laugh at, but Stark I can't stomach.

True. beats the hell out of obsessing about another man, fake chest or not.

Scott Alexander is above any criticism. You could stand to take a few fashion tips from Scott. ;D

You're like a kid who eats his boggers and think it's funny ::)

Not really. I just like to annoy people with it because it works.
He's some guido guy. I see enough of them in the Island, so why would I really care much about his fake ass? hahaha

Gargantuan hypocrisy. First it was Nasser, now it is Scott. You have zero ability to turn out an original post.

Looks like my posts got to you. ;D
Team Nasser and Scott Alexander maybe have been jokes, but they fucking worked.. Hell, Bobs, Sharma and a host of others still haven't gotten it. They're worshipping some bitter old oil bag. :-\
Don't tell you'd rather hear about Nibirian technology, canddizle's nutritional knowledge, or whatever idea comes to Stark's little mind. ::) Atleast gimmicking requires some sort of creative thought.

the guesting was boring i'm glad ron shitcanned it

I'm fairly good at tuning out to the nonsense on getbig, I almost always skip all three of these discussions mentioned. I seriously have no clue where this hate for stark has originated. :)
All I'm saying is you failed to innovate with your chosen gimmickry. Fair enough, you're going to talk shit about Nasser. You never took it anywhere, you made the same post a thousand times. Thus, it is fair to say, you have no room to talk regarding originality. Strange really, because duchaine has a reasonably high opinion of you which means you must be capable of wit ???

This post is outstanding, and so true. The impression I have from this board is that only 5% of posters here are genuine bodybuilding fans, and they are mostly concentrated on Dorian vs Ronnie debates.

Getbig=Epic Entertainment with occasional talk about bodybuilding...

well, if you mean a fan of the actual sport of bodybuilding then i'm one, but ALL of my favs come from the 70's before the big guts :-[ yeah, my idol is the so-called swimmer... Frank Zane

Waht is your opinion on the Dorian vs Ronnie debates, which have been going on for 3 years in this board between the posters Hulkster, Suckmymuscle, Pumpster NarcissisticDeity? These four must have written literally 3 000 pages on the subject.

yeah, i'm quite aware of that ::) i guess maybe the early 90's weren't so bad... from this time i liked gary strydom, but he really lacked a "cobra" back :'( but, in my opinion, he had pretty much every thing else... delts, pecs, arms, legs

If you can filter past it all, then you'll find that my opinions on certain social and economic issues are of thought.

I've had an idea for a year...
Bring back the guest feature...
Every sunday from 10 pm to 1 AM, EST.
Watch the traffic skyrocket for that period, as people can post creative things, insider gossip, truths and lies, and speak their mind without being feared of retribution. Getbig has become a bit corporate, there is no denying that. Bring back the chaos one night a week.

Can't be bothered.

Me too. For awhile there, I would just surf this site and read the threads - no posts. Then I took the plunge, and the birth of Pollux arrived. :)
-
Like someone else said, it is 2-6 unemployed guys /kids posting
70% of the posts on GB under several gimmicks using all their time awake
doing it.
None of them trains, they are unintelligent and boring and they believe insults=owning.
Hense the decline since 2004

it would depend on who's turn it is being 240 :-X

I have to agree, this site has gone downhill. It will some day be resurrected in its full glory, but perhaps not any time soon :-\
