Title: hello and welcome to getbig!
Post by: MisterMagoo on March 31, 2008, 09:26:33 PM
greetings newcomer! it seems as if you've stumbled across our little enclave on the interwebs. now, before you get started, there are a few things you should understand.

1) this isn't bb.com, MD, or whatever. get used to it. i'm sure you're used to a friendly and positive atmosphere on other sites where people can post whatever they like and not worry about getting flamed for it. if you're expecting that here, you're in for an unpleasant surprise. if you can't handle getting your balls busted, move along.

2) settle down, it ain't that serious. you're probably noticing that there's a hell of lot of serious negativity and it's probably hurting your feelings. you might even be wondering how these people can function in society when they're so hateful. well sit down and listen up, it's the internet. we say things just for shits and giggles, stop thinking we mean it deep down. if you're planning on taking every little thing everyone says to heart, you might want to move along.

3) don't try and bullshit us. a lot of people here have finely honed bullshit detectors and at the first sign of an exaggeration or an outright lie, you're gonna get called out on it. maybe you're used to boards where you can say you benched 495 for 10 reps and get congratulated for "a hell of a workout", or say that you made $500,000 in the stock market last quarter and people will just ask you for investment advice, but that won't fly around here. if you think you can pump up your ego by making shit up, plan on getting a whole lot of hell for it.

4) even if you're not bullshitting, plan on proving it. maybe you DID bench 495 for a set of 10 yesterday in your chest workout. well unless you have it on video it's probably in your best interest to just keep that quiet, because you're gonna get bombarded with claims of bullshit. if by some freak chance you're one of those guys that are 250 at 5% body fat with two phD's and an eight-figure income, unless you feel like proving it, you'd probably do best to just shut up or accept a reputation as a bullshitter.

5) if you're cool, we're cool. don't think people just get flamed for no good damn reason. even the more negative posters here are cool as long as you don't act the ass. so if you notice that the board as a whole seems to be turning against you, you might want to re-evaluate your behaviour.

6) if posts on the G&O offend you, stay out of the alphabet boards. really. you're not ready. just steer clear.

7) if you're in the middle of a post and notice you're talking about harming another poster physically, close the browser and go outside. let's say you decided to ignore everything i've said so far and are in a heated battle with one of getbig's more vicious attack dogs. you're furious, you're pounding away on your keyboard, you've got this awesome and scary threat about how if you ever met that dude in real life you'd cut off his arms and beat him with them. STOP. it's not going to scare anyone, and in the event that your chances of surviving the GB jungle weren't shot entirely, they will be if you submit that post. walk away from the computer.

8 ) do not cry to ron for anything other than someone burning your house down. yaroni's a busy guy, and crying to him just because someone hurt your feelings is going to both make you look like a pussball and likely get you even more shit once the offender gets a warning from ron himself. think of it like school. after you tell the teacher about the bully, he goes after you even worse. toughen up or sit at a different lunch table.

9) if you got made a fool of, don't come back with a gimmick. so someone really hurt your feelings and you flipped out, then got ron to delete a thread and now you want to start fresh. so you fire up a new gmail account and register a new name, thinking you'll REALLY show those bullies what's what. well don't. chances are if you're at that point, you're not bright enough to keep everyone from finding out who you are, and you'll look twice as stupid when everyone figures it out. either tough it out and stick around or just go away entirely.

10) if you have anything embarrassing on the internet, for the love of god don't register here with the same handle. there's this nifty thing called "google" now, and let's say you also have an account on "i-love-it-when-my-girlfriend-sticks-a-GI-Joe-up-my-ass.com". if you decide to register over there with "GIJoeMan55" and then do the same over here, guess what? that's right, someone's gonna dig it up and you'll flip out, ask ron to delete the thread, and then come back with a gimmick. bad news.

these are just a few little bits of advice that should aid you in your stay here. and if you decide to ignore these tips and find yourself flamed to oblivion, don't come crying to me, because frankly i don't give a shit.

happy posting!

9) Nobody here ever forgets anything. If you make an embarassing post, like say for example you claim to have business interests in Dubai, but you don't know that Dubai is not in India, it will dog you for the rest of your getbig life. Also, if you post a pic of yourself, expect it to be photoshopped to hell and gone, and be reposted for years on end. :D

Excellent post overall but this one had me LOL...  "Close the browser and go outside."  Because that's literally what you need to do.  Go take a walk "out of doors."  Listen to the birds or traffic, take a deep breath, meditate Brett Harvey-style, go get some groceries, eat some Nubain smoke a cigarrette, etc.  ha ha ha  Compose yourself, because right now and for the next several hours you will likely be very vulnerable and prone to posting without candor.  When you get back, check some new threads like nothing happened for a little while, then gradually ease into perusing posts where the person who offended you is active.  Look for another at odds with that same person, and PM him encouragement or perhaps dirt you might feel useful to his further attacks.  Do anything but respond to the person who caused your temper to flare earlier.  There'll be another day, it just probably shouldn't be this one.  For all the rest of the board knows, you just had to go train or fuck your girlfriend or something, or you just got bored with the thread.   ;D

I find that there is no difference between Getbig and real life.

If your a cool dude IRL, your a cool dude here. Conversely, if you are a dick IRL you will be found out real quick. There is no faking it. Zach....you and I had this discussion YEARS ago at Gayhem about how people are actually more forthcoming with themselves online because of the anonymity.

i do remember that. it's why i think SOME things are more worrisome than others (the racism, for example, REALLY irks me). it's definitely true that when you're protected by the ol' internets you're far more likely to let your brain run unfettered. as they say, you can tell a man's character by what he does when he won't get caught.

what i was referring to was more the harmless ballbusting that goes on here that some people take way too seriously. someone posts a picture and a response is "brutal dime-store wallpaper" or "epic attempt at covering up love handles", it's a joke. don't get all bent out of shape over it. it's tough to get intentions across, so a lotta the time what LOOKS like a flame is really just someone joking around.

i disagree

every negative post is our true thoughts

on the net you don't have to worry about repercussions, therefore we speak our mind

3) don't try and bullshit us. a lot of people here have finely honed bullshit detectors and at the first sign of an exaggeration or an outright lie, you're gonna get called out on it. maybe you're used to boards where you can say you benched 495 for 10 reps and get congratulated for "a hell of a workout", or say that you made $500,000 in the stock market last quarter and people will just ask you for investment advice, but that won't fly around here. if you think you can pump up your ego by making shit up, plan on getting a whole lot of hell for it.

4) even if you're not bullshitting, plan on proving it. maybe you DID bench 495 for a set of 10 yesterday in your chest workout. well unless you have it on video it's probably in your best interest to just keep that quiet, because you're gonna get bombarded with claims of bullshit. if by some freak chance you're one of those guys that are 250 at 5% body fat with two phD's and an eight-figure income, unless you feel like proving it, you'd probably do best to just shut up or accept a reputation as a bullshitter.

5) if you're cool, we're cool. don't think people just get flamed for no good damn reason. even the more negative posters here are cool as long as you don't act the ass. so if you notice that the board as a whole seems to be turning against you, you might want to re-evaluate your behaviour.

6) if posts on the G&O offend you, stay out of the alphabet boards. really. you're not ready. just steer clear.

7) if you're in the middle of a post and notice you're talking about harming another poster physically, close the browser and go outside. let's say you decided to ignore everything i've said so far and are in a heated battle with one of getbig's more vicious attack dogs. you're furious, you're pounding away on your keyboard, you've got this awesome and scary threat about how if you ever met that dude in real life you'd cut off his arms and beat him with them. STOP. it's not going to scare anyone, and in the event that your chances of surviving the GB jungle weren't shot entirely, they will be if you submit that post. walk away from the computer.

8 ) do not cry to ron for anything other than someone burning your house down. yaroni's a busy guy, and crying to him just because someone hurt your feelings is going to both make you look like a pussball and likely get you even more shit once the offender gets a warning from ron himself. think of it like school. after you tell the teacher about the bully, he goes after you even worse. toughen up or sit at a different lunch table.

9) if you got made a fool of, don't come back with a gimmick. so someone really hurt your feelings and you flipped out, then got ron to delete a thread and now you want to start fresh. so you fire up a new gmail account and register a new name, thinking you'll REALLY show those bullies what's what. well don't. chances are if you're at that point, you're not bright enough to keep everyone from finding out who you are, and you'll look twice as stupid when everyone figures it out. either tough it out and stick around or just go away entirely.

10) if you have anything embarrassing on the internet, for the love of god don't register here with the same handle. there's this nifty thing called "google" now, and let's say you also have an account on "i-love-it-when-my-girlfriend-sticks-a-GI-Joe-up-my-ass.com". if you decide to register over there with "GIJoeMan55" and then do the same over here, guess what? that's right, someone's gonna dig it up and you'll flip out, ask ron to delete the thread, and then come back with a gimmick. bad news.

these are just a few little bits of advice that should aid you in your stay here. and if you decide to ignore these tips and find yourself flamed to oblivion, don't come crying to me, because frankly i don't give a shit.

happy posting!

He already said that.............

I know this is a joke and you guys are razzing me ,etc which is fine on get big.
On May in 1988 , my dad Howard J White Jr went into the basement of his house, took his shot gun in his mouth and took his own life. It was thw worst experience of my life and a painful memory to this day.
This is no joke and the honest to GOD truth, you can check in the archives of the Portsmouth Herald.
Thanks for heling me think of the worst momment of my life.
Some of you are complet A-holes with no decency.
This is not a joke my dad really did commit suicide nearly 20 yrs ago and you guys just joke about it, nice.

i should put a number 11: don't expect much sympathy for your real-life tragedies. we've all got 'em, and if we spent all day commiserating about everyone else's we'd all want to curl up and die by the end of the day.

Magoo forgot #11 ;)


IF YOUR GAY JUST ADMIT IT RIGHT AWAY.better to just say so than be exposed.
the bashing you'll take is merciless if your found out,but your pretty much left alone if you just tell the truth.
