You scared off all the pros out of here, now you're crying for them back, good luck...........hahahahah a
-
I split this topic because I fell this should be discussed.
I don't think any one person ran the pros off, I think it is the gang mentality on the G&O to bash in groups that did it.
If we can get the pros and up and comers on here posting again, this board will be a safe haven for anyone and everyone to post in.
Having said that, welcome to my board, "pumphard". :-*

All you clowns with your meltdowns and ownings, that slowly scared the pros away, good luck at getting them back.

Pros weren't scared off, they just did not feel like dealing with the twits.
Before there were limited choices where to post, and more and more boards emerged so made it harder for us to be 'competitive'. MD has about 20 pros posting, Sioux's [new!] board has about 25 female pros posting I guess - um, we have like Chick left [who is great no diss] but years back we had truckloads, male and female.
Never sure why everyone thought it was so great to have some ass go on and on with some boring flames, instead of pros who would give us some better posts - like the time ppl were wondering did the german pro vomit onstage lol, a pro roared in and confirmed it and gave us a step by step of how it went down lol.
Pros are pretty much gone, as are many competitors, and I doubt they will be back honestly.

Don't take things literally, scared off I mean dealing with guys like squadfatty telling them they look shit.....

Concur.
A few guys made this board devoid of pros - and while I am at it - women. I feel quite conspicuous posting on the G&O most days lately, as hardly any women left there. Could have had 20 pros and 50 more women, but instead we got like 5/6 guys flaming relentlessly.
Oh well, it's done - and like I said - unlikely to be fixable.

we have gh15.

It would be cool to have some pros posting here...they should realize though that anything being said here is just for the laughs and having a good time.... nothing more.

They are not private like many. It is not abstract. Speaking as a chick, the day I woke up and saw my husband having a "good laugh" on the internet while others posted my pic and called me a slut and every other name in the book - well he would not have a good night thats for sure.
Contrary to popular belief, most don't expect their asses kissed, can totally take a joke, just a reasonable level of human behaviour.
Facts are facts, they are gone, and now we have guys posting pics of male porn instead. No biggie, but it is what it is.

Totally agree, and most of them don't have anything good to say about Getbig.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. One question, how come Lee doesn't respond to me?
Hey Lee, I don't understand........you respond to people mocking and making fun of you, but you won't respond to someone who truly is looking for some advice. Go figure.

CQ, I'm not looking to "fix" getbig, I just want to provide a place where people can feel comfortable about posting, without the flames.

That's my point, if they are reading, they should be able to post, and here is the opportunity to provide them an arena to tell tales of their experiences.

I was not suggesting that you should or can or hinting or anything as an FYI. Just that years of twits running wild has kind of done the pros in :D
-
Hey chaos, I see you bullshit will be carried out into your mod skills by protecting that pedo piece of shit.................... hahahahaah
I'll tell you this once, do not flame on this board.

Maybe we can use a female incentive to bring them back? :D

And what do you think your buddy was doing?

And what do you think your buddy was doing?
He is pointing out a couple of posts from someone that maybe came across like he was harrassing a pro because he didn't answer a question about dieting.
If you like, please point out the flame.

OK, point out in PANDAEMONIUMS post, what you consider the flame or insult.
All I see is that he quoted someone (you) with quotes that could be seen as harrassing or stalking a pro, one of the reasons most don't post here anymore.
If there was an insult or a flame in PANDAEs post, I would delete that as well, but I don't see it, I'm asking you to show me.

Exactly.
Pumphard, you are obviously here only to start trouble. Chaos is a good bro and I'm gonna do what I can to help build this board up. Take your sick fantasies to another board, Chester.

pumphard, there are plenty of places to continue this feud. dont do it here

Right on. This idiot is here just to try to wreck the board before it gets off the ground again.

Thread modded, keep it on track.
What can be done to improve the chances of getting the pros posting again?

One possible idea is to give each pro his/her own Q&A thread that is stickied. Some can't/won't post here because of contractual stuff with MD, but I'm sure others would, like Luke Wood. Disgusted aka Jim could also have his own Q&A thread.

Damn,Chaos has green stars :o

Not a bad idea. Hate to sound kiss assish, but perhaps emailing/contacting a few and hoping they respond. The MD and Weider guys are out, which knocks out the pickings down quite substantially. Will require very heavy moderation, as naturally there will be keyboard warriors anxious to prove their greatness.
As far as female pros [not that any of you care lol, but I did] that's a done deal now, so honestly any effort there is a waste of time.
-
brutal v board style posting ::)
i don't think pumphard gets the whole positive thing
maybe you should stick to the v pumpy

Do you know of all the male pros who already post on here who aren't MD'ers? I know there's chick, Luke Wood, tomanater, Big Ant, but can't think of any others off the top of my head.

You mentioned BigAnt, whose a natty pro, so if one includes natty pros there a few.
IFBB - I can only add Cherry, Chacon & Monstadwarf [now ex-pro] who have dropped a few posts each. I'm lost after that :-\
Also, Salaks I just see, but his english is limited at best lol
-
Gees, one guy is keeping "delete" button busy. ::)
All good ideas, and some are in effect already, I have sent PM's and will be emailing Pros to let them know there is a new sheriff in town. ;)
Any pro or former pro that is going to post stories about his/her (ladies welcome, but they do have their own board) experiences can have a sticky if they would like.
I will PM disgusted and a couple of others to see if they are interested in their own threads.
Thanks for the input guys and gals. :D

Why aren't you deleting pandae's attacks on me?

No you didn't..............Whatever relationship you two have on the outside, it shouldn't affect your judgement as a mod...........Just a little tip

Which one didn't I delete? I deleted several of yours and a couple of his.....keep that stuff off my board, take anywhere else, I don't care.
And BTW, pumphard, I would have no problem with you posting here, if you actually contribute to the board. Instead you come here and attack people, it won't be tolerated here.

I was posting until your buddy came in here and started the attacks here, doesn't appear he has much respect for you

I told you before, show me where he attacked you before you attacked him.
You can't, you're out of line. if your posts are void of insults, flames, etc, they won't be deleted, simple.

Can't we all just get along ? ;D

Lee Priest comes to mind, but I think he might be posting on MD now. I checked MD for like 5 minutes last week and saw him over there and haven't noticed him over here.

Yes, Lee re-signed with MD a while back, but I know he still posts at bb.com sometimes.
Said he got tired of the constant crap here and will not be posting here again.

half of them are paid to post elsewhere and forbidden from posting here.
all of them skim getbig to keep up with things, especially come contest time to see those '3 week out' pics.

Yup.
I am not trying to like, well be nasty, but there is no other way to say this but to spit it out.
All the good or known guys are under contract and cannot post here [about 30], the only ones left will be basically the 'unknowns'. Only one I can think of to possibliy to approach who is fairly known, not under contract[?] and does post on boards is Dennis James.

I went to a 90% hippie college in the late 80s/ early 90s. 75% of those chick didnt shave their legs either. The first time i saw that it wasnt too pretty. Dont get me wrong, i handled the business any way. After that it wasnt any big deal. i just asked them to make chewbacka sounds in the sack :D

Sorry to keep posting, but also I forgot Jimmy Mentis, he's been around here for years, doesn't post much though. I am not sure he really has much time, has his own company etc. He was a judge for last years Mr. Getbig, extremely pleasant to deal with.

No reason to be sorry CQ, post away! ;D
Seriously, good tips from everyone, I'm following up on several of them.
