Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great. Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels. Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division. I enjoy it.
Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it. It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that. I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.
So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here. If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.
I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site. I do very well in what I do. I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.
When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.
As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else. Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.

haters will always hate, but at the end of the day we all love this sport

that's the whole principle getbig is built upon, you cannot forsaken us now? :'(

Good points, Ronaldo. I think, tho, that Ed and Block bring a lot more to BBing and Getbig than they take away from it. Good satire and subversion always comes from the love of its subject, and not from dislike.
-
ron, i kinda love u. i think of you as a stern but caring older brother type. that said i think u kinda lost your love and tolerance of the crazy getbig family we all once were.
there are many places where everyone is lovely about bodybuilding. is being negative about bodybuilding any worth than stark posting mundane, unfunny boring shit all day from loser sites about people getting shot, or falling off horses ??
-
Where is "Team Gayer Than" when we need them?

While I appreciate the statement, Dear Leader, perhaps you could explain to us how Block's 'Day in the Life of a BB' thread was NOT entertainment.
It was primed to be one of the greatest threads of all-time, bar none.
The G&O has always been THE most 'real' forum in all of bodybuilding. That's a distinction that no other forum could even come close to and it's the very reason GetBig is the most popular site of all in bodybuilding.
I know you're getting older and more jaded - hey, I'm going through the same myself - but once you eliminate the realness, then GetBig is no longer special and no one will have any reason to come here that they can't find elsewhere.
I would seriously re-think your position on this. People need to know that the guy who says he's only charging them 'his price' for gear is definitely lying to them.

I agree with you Ron

People feel the need to hate because they are insecure. The truth is the worse pro is still better than the average poster. I come here mostly for amusement. I have a handful of bros that I rely on for info and support. Im sorry so many people take advantage of your hard work Ron

srsly, i agree 100%
ya danny glover-a-like schmoe ;D

Donde?
-
The only reason why this board still exists is the brutal honesty and satire. Otherwise it would have slithered into oblivion long ago. With the much better competition out there, you must know that's true Ron.
-
I've always wondered one thing though Ron.
There is always a certain specific type of character that joins this board, Getbig.
Compare with other BB-boards and you see quite the difference between the members on those boards and here.
Getbig is a very special gatheringplace for likeminded individuals, but it's just Getbig that have these kinds of people.
How is this?
-
personally i think this board has been going downhill for a few years now, no pros post here anymore, its all negative, and half of the ppl here dont even watch/like bb'ing, why wasnt the board modded more heavily a few years ago when it started goin down the crapper in the first place? why all of the sudden now is the board being modded heavily?
like someone said earlier i think block and ed bring alot more to this board than they take away from it.
it seems like this board is taking a new direction, and i dont like it. before it was all about free speech and ive had some of my best laughs while reading this very board, hopefully this isnt the beginning of the end of that.

congrat's Ron...you have just killed Getbig... ;)

Whats pathetic is that you chose to hate on me. HATER!
I always figured you to be jealous of me. At least you now confirmed it with your above post.
-
MELTDOWN!!!!
Now thats out of the way, how have you been my friend! I miss our chats on IM!
::)

well there is a difference between bashing and expressing the truth no matter how crude a form it comes in.
THe people that love bodybuilding and have the power to do some good need to take a long hard look at the cuture that surrounds it. It isnt all good. The craziness that surrounds it is hurtful to everyone involved with it many who are innocent and good people.
I agree there are many members who are just here to hate and bash and are taking advantage of Ron's very tolerant good nature. However, I dont think Ed and Block fall into that catagory. I think they really love the sport but hate the culture that surrounds it and govern it. I think ultimately they want positive change. I do think their voices should be heard.
-
personally i think this board has been going downhill for a few years now, no pros post here anymore, its all negative
And that is the opinion of many, which I am not happy about.
that's the whole principle getbig is built upon, you cannot forsaken us now?
Entertaining yes, downright abusive and bullying to drive people away - no.
Block's 'Day in the Life of a BB' thread
Not the problem. But posting about someones family, calling the very organization we all try to build and in our industry a scam, corrupt, and more - well - I don't need that nor want it here. BIG difference. Let Anthony Roberts twist another story.
There are limits to anything. Try going to calling the NFL, MLB a scam or corrupt, then call the people there and talk about their wives and family. Then expect to be welcome on a football or baseball board.
Hence that is the difference.
We live and go to the expos, the contests, talk and actually see various competitors. It's called 'Don't shit and piss in the place that you live - it smells too much'. And yes, there is a difference between entertaining, banter and actually things which hurt people.

Now that I agree with you on. Positive change is great - debate is great - discussion is great. Talking about someone sleeping with someone else, saying everything is corrupt, a scam, bullshit, talking lies and more. I don't need it nor care about it.

::)
Whats with the eyes?
You verbally assert that bodybuilding is NOT a sport. This runs contrary to Ron`s claims that it indeed is a sport. Does your assessment help of hinder Ron`s proclamation?
-
Appreciate the thread Ron........where was was this 10 years ago?
No one likes a stoolie, Coach. Be careful in the yard.
-
The novelty of Getbig is the relative lack of censorship. Without it it's not Getbig anymore. :'(
How are you going to decide when something is entertaining banter and when it's outright hating?
For example, would Milos' bashing of the IFBB and the people in it still be allowed?
-
The NPC Rules :'(

Can we still Bash Kamali and Plazmosis?
I mean I wouldn`t have gotten to where I am today without Plazmosis and all.

Getbig would be better without the vulgarity
-
The NPC Rules :'(
I agree
-
not that i agree censorship at all in any way but i prefer to read negative stuff about bodybuilding than dumb pics of crappy tattoos, car crashes and silicon tits on the g&o
-
I think the privilege of being able to post in Timeout without actually being interred there would help things greatly.
-

I agree - families are off-limits, period. This is non-negotiable. Unless someone's wife or kid posts on GetBig, leave them out of the discussion.
I don't know Anthony Roberts, but in everything I've ever read of his, it's clear that he has an ax to grind with the NPC. When I asked 'who the fuck is this guy?', I was told that he doesn't even go to shows, that he's just a guy who's tried to sell himself as a sort of steroid guru or whatever.
I do, however, know Blockhead. I see him at no less than 1-2 NPC/IFBB shows per year (never asked whether he snuck in or actually bought a ticket with money he stole from his girlfriend ;D) and he also preps competitors for NPC events. Given that he's paying his fair share, as a consumer, he has earned the right to be critical, if he sees fit. He's deeply embedded in Chicago bodybuilding culture and if he's got first-hand knowledge of sketchy activities, as a responsible citizen, doesn't he have an OBLIGATION to research the story and then report it?
I've been going to NPC/IFBB shows for almost 17 years. Over that time, I've bought a significant amount worth of tickets and sponsorships. I'll often shake hands with some of the judges I've known casually for years, but have NO PROBLEM calling them out when I see what looks like a bad judging decision. And the following year, we do it all over again. Sometimes, they're right, sometimes I (or the fans) am right. Neither side is 100% correct every single time and that's the BEAUTY of the judges' relationship with the fans.
I'm the first to say that the NPC has been very good to me this past decade and I'm happy to have had a tiny, insignificant role in promoting bodybuilding, fitness, and figure, but that doesn't mean the organization is perfect. Others of you see things that I don't see, but on balance, the NPC does a damn fine job of promoting the physique sports and getting more people involved with healthier lifestyles. I look at where my life is today vs where I was 18 months ago and I can say to an absolute certainty that I am MUCH healthier today than I was back then and my involvement with bodybuilding has a lot to do with that.
In conclusion, I would just like to say that GetBig - much like the larger NPC - is a family. Occasionally, we're going to piss one another off, but at the end of the day, I don't believe that anyone chose GetBig. GetBig chose each of us. (no homo) Whether people stay or move on, however, IS a matter of choice and I'm hoping that you, Ron, will choose to make it easier for everyone to decide to stay by leaving the G&O as it has been for the better part of a decade.
Thanks for listening.

Ron, you brought about the best, mostly uncensored, board in the game. You can keep the Positive Board and others going, but, look at the number of views there compared to the G&O board. This is totally unique and it may be time to look into selling the board if you feel it's gone in the wrong direction. Like all other forms of censorship, people can leave if they can't bear to "read" something they don't like or approve. From what you posted, it seems not to have affected you on the business side of the industry, although GetBig may not be what you thought it would become. I thank you for the freedom you have given the board, but let's not try to make it politically correct.
-
i dont care if kai green prances for gay men. it's none of my business if he does. and i dont give a fuck about your need to type no homo. cause i dont give a shit about you and could care less WTF u r...spare me the no homo shit becuse i beleive you are a closet case when you write that lol ps i just got back from long flight and sleepy

I dont care about being politically correct. But many of us live and work in the industry, like going to the expo and shows, and actually care. I think this year, I just don't feel like dealing or listening to the people who claim everything is corrupt, a scam and blame the world on everything. Life will go on, enjoy Kamali and his supplements, have fun being satiric, but don't shit in my house.

As for this thread, I have been deleting threads or posts for the last few months, but this is a new year, and it seems to intensify in the start of the year. Then the threads come up on why certain threads of gone, and I have not responded. Well, here is the discussion and response for the last few months on why.

Ron, I wish you responded to racism on this board the way you do this...I've sent countless report to moderators and 90% of them get ignored...That's why I gave up and now fight the good fight and spew racist sludge like everyone else about everyone except Jews of course... ::)
-
Ron it's your board and obviously you can run it how you want but it's bullshit to change the rules halfway through the game because some of the power brokers don't like the truth getting out.
Bodybuilding needs at least one board that isn't controlled by politics and fantasy.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
jebus ron....pop an arimidex will ya :-\
-
Now that I agree with you on. Positive change is great - debate is great - discussion is great. Talking about someone sleeping with someone else, saying everything is corrupt, a scam, bullshit, talking lies and more. I don't need it nor care about it.
but is there no place to discuss legitimate concerns or gripes against those in power? thread after thread that don't contain any personal attacks get deleted.

Typical ELOC (external locus of control) behaviour. Def. short on self-awarness. As Getbig is such an open form, it's not hard for other people to be sucked into the vortex of negativity. With years of trolling under my belt ( :)), I've noticed that it happens quite a bit on here. There's a lot of positive contributors to more than balance things out, but sometimes it gets silly.
It's fine to call a spade a spade, but i've seen it get pretty malicious here. While we all have the choice to leave if we don't like what's going on, sometimes things gotta be reigned in before the place implodes. The retardness in here ebbs and flows. It's too bad that few Pros post here anymore, 'cause they always had intersting insight on things. All those guys leaving was just one sign that things have gotten out of hand at times. Unltimately, Ron is the one with his finger on the kill switch, so he can do what he wants.

I've seen a significant decrease in posted pussy shots to wack my bag to lately? FTF IS going on here? Aren't you people bodybuilders For Fucks sake?
Jeebus H Christ, sounds painful. First person i've heard admit to being into "ball bustin'". Lots on empflix.com for ya.

Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great. Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels. Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division. I enjoy it.
Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it. It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that. I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.
So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here. If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.
I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site. I do very well in what I do. I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.
When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.
As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else. Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.
I agree and I think this site has been going down hill for a while now.
Personally I think the Time Out board is a joke it doesn't do anything when they just start on a gimmick account.
I think the threat and implementation of an IP ban would be better. That way you can't just bash on a gimmick without losing access.
There are lots of ways to IP ban all legal and very effective.
Think about it Ron
-

1) proxy IPs
2) takes 10 mins to call you ISP and change your IP
plus...if this board turns into hymen (which i see happening) people will just up and leave....
-
Ron, if you removed the bullying and abuse from this forum it would be tumbleweed central.
If you don't care about people leaving the forum why did you block the links to Matt C and Alex23's forums?

thanx
most of the funnier posters from getbigs heyday have already left...this board is gonna turn into what Muscle Media turned into without Dan Duchaine.... ie dead...at least i hope like bill "buttmunch" phillips ron makes a bito $ in the process
-
This is the problem with someone running a board like this that is "IN" the industry.They will always protect their own! Too bad there isn't a GETBIG that is totally unbiased.
-
For every person who was ever exceedingly negative about the NPC, there were twenty who talked about how great it is.
That's why you let the negative comments stand instead of censoring. The good will win out. The censorship makes us all look bad. Lose-lose...

Seriously how many people would be bothered just to post here?
I think you're taking the extreme attitude here. Getbig was once the place where all the news, and the truth could be heard without all the gimmick posts just stating crap. For example remember the 240 feuds. All that was acceptable then and I am sure Ron will still it as acceptable today. It wasn't just a negative post for the sake of being negative, there was some thought and validation to the posts from both sides.
This is when Getbig was at it best.
Now it is more full of trolls who don't even like the sport and just try to bash in a vain attempt try to gain internet "fame".
-
calling the very organization we all try to build and in our industry a scam, corrupt, and more - well - I don't need that nor want it here.
your talking about organizations that turn a blind eye to felony drug use
and you figure there's no scamming or corruption involved?
evidently someone involved in how you make your living is bitching about
this place and your bowing to them. yet again.
ban me if you must but i be damned if i'm gonna be one who kneels
and agrees with your bullshit.

Ron it's your board and obviously you can run it how you want but it's bullshit to change the rules halfway through the game because some of the power brokers don't like the truth getting out.
Bodybuilding needs at least one board that isn't controlled by politics and fantasy.
That cuts right to the truth there.
-

Now it is more full of trolls who don't even like the sport and just try to bash in a vain attempt try to gain internet "fame".
So Special Ed and Block fit this description?
(as I believe they were the primary cause of Ron's post)
-
i dunno...i kinda got a thing for free speech... :-\
If you wish to be negative and post it, do so, just be able to back up your statement with something.
Free speech is wonderful and all but if you spout some verbal diarrhea and attack someone or something with nothing to substantiate your claims you've actually ventured into another area of "rights". Besides Ron isn't talking about banning all the negative posts. I think he is just asking that if you have a negative stance state it like an adult and/or have something to back your stance up.
Even Block himself was lamenting about when Getbig was the place for bodybuilding truth and how much it changed. Now it is just a place that anybody will say anything just for the heck of it and post personal info just to attack somebody else. I bet if Block stepped back and look at his own posts from now as opposed to when he started even he would see the change in himself.
Being negative is fine as all discussion need opposing sides, but remain intelligent while doing so...
-
That cuts right to the truth there.
Gayer than owning Ejacula and Wankenstein on LaserDisc.
-
Whats with the eyes?
You verbally assert that bodybuilding is NOT a sport. This runs contrary to Ron`s claims that it indeed is a sport. Does your assessment help of hinder Ron`s proclamation?
It's not a sport.....but since that's not the subject it doesn't really matter.
-
Besides Ron isn't talking about banning all the negative posts. I think he is just asking that if you have a negative stance state it like an adult and/or have something to back your stance up.
So just mentioning something about an NPC official that was reported in the news is fair game?
It isn't and wasn't. Posts about it were deleted even years ago... Block was "reporting" old news.
-

dood....your avatar...its..i dunno whether i find it disgusting or creepy... >:(
-
Ron, would a member poll be fair at this point in the game?
If the majority of your members that you've attracted over the years disagree with your desire for a change in direction, yet you go forward with it, you're obviously serving your own or others interests.
Nothing wrong with that, as anyone who sticks around, or decides to join, would be playing by the new rules you've set forth.
Regardless, I think the poll would be very interesting to conduct.
-

I am not focusing on Block and Special Ed, I am generalizing.
Block and I are friends and I think even he would admit his posts lately have been to get a rise out of Ron.
-
It's not a sport....
then why did you compete in bodybuilding a couple of years ago?

Wow, True Adonis, you're adding some great comments to this discussion. ::)

I'm not a Block apologist either, I agree that he's doing what you say. And doesn't point the finger at himself often enough IMO, especially since he himself is deep in the shit he writes about. :D
But the point is that some topics are off-limits, even if they can be backed up by facts. Ron's post, from what I can see, is mostly about not mentioning some possibly embarrassing facts about officials.
-
then why did you compete in bodybuilding a couple of years ago?
I used to compete when I was younger and wanted try it again. I have nothing against bodybuilding just present day bodybuilding. When I competed last, I enjoyed it. I might...just might try it again (if my wife will let me).
-
I like GB being brutally honest fueds etc.
It was better a few years back I think I laughed more but I think a root of the problem (no homo) has been the disappearance of threads by Chick etc This seems to rub people up the wrong way and imflame threads that may have died after a day or 2.
We all come here and we all lift weights we are under no illusion of teh nature surrounding bbuilding. Some people love and enjoy the pasttime greatly however we also like micking things which are funny around it (brown paper bags, G4P,Mirage Hotel and graprefruit etc)
It is your board and your rules Ron but if you do wnat to make it totally positive etc I don't think many would hang about imo. If thats what you wnat go for it dude but once decision is made would be hard to get people back.

Hey Ron,
Thanks for the interesting thread. :)
Try being a "chick" on getbig. It's actually kind of funny, you "most" guys are well aware that I do know what the f**k I am talking about but instead choose to degrade me in every kind of the way. Does it make you feel more like a real bodybuilder? Geez, keep training bros & good luck to ya in the future. ;)
Just an example: I try to promote my new man & his band in the G/O section & he gets ripped to shreds. What's the point on tearing someone down.....does it make one feel better? You guys should be happy for me that I have finally found someone that puts a smile on my face everyday.

I agree that the gimmicks got to go...it grants all these trolls total anomiminity.(sp?) they can do and say whetever they want and have no repercussions. That just isnt fair to the public figures that come to this board to post. It becomes nothing more than a juvenile hate-fest. If this board is going in the toilet, I think that is the reason why.
It should be like the other boards in terms of having only one account & screen name, if at all possible, so they can be held somewhat more accountable for things they say. If they cant follow the basic rules & ettiquete, then there should be a way to ban them totally. Having said that, I come to this board because it is 'real' and uncensored for the most part. Sometimes you have to wade thru miles of bullshit to get to the end of the rainbow, that is the appeal of Getbig. As long as it is TRUTHFUL and not outright slanderous, I think whatever is said here should be fair game.
Again, hold each poster accountable for their words. No more anonymous gimmicks. I think doing that alone will cause many to rethink spewing whatever garbage happens to pop into their brain at that moment.
I always enjoy reading Special Ed and Blockheads posts.. I enjoy the satire and their dark humor. I dont speak to them or know them personally, but they are the more intelligent and entertaining posters on this board. Rarely have I seen them name names... I just think the things they say might hit a nerve for some, thats all.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini.

Etbig just jumped the shark
-
Man, where to start with this.............
lot's of opinions and most of them I agree with.
BUT!!! You cocksuckers whining about the negativity need to STFU!! There is a Positive Board that is heavily moderated open for discussion and none of you post there, so quit your whining and try backing up what you claim you want, a Positive Board.
-
Everything in "moderation"
That is all it will take.
There is a big difference between what people type here with their guise of anonymity and how they conduct themselves at the very shows and events you speak of. Any Pro that is afraid to be here probably shouldnt be here. This board is for people with internet savvy who have become jaded about many things over the years. This board is more of an 'anything goes' type of setting. For every negative you encounter, there are positives to balance it out.
This is why the "friendlier" forums are so un-popular.
It's the adrenaline and lack of censorship that people thrive on. The bad attitudes that come out don't depict reality for these folks.
Resolution: Moderate what needs moderation. Eliminate what shouldn't be here. Allow freedom of speech and then make the decision as to whether or not it 'crosses the line'
If you shut G and O down, the whole board will go away. Unfortunate but true.
If you are saying that you are getting ready to "throw in the towel".. just do it and be done with it. People learn to deal with change as they do with adversity.
Anyone who is offended by what they read here shouldn't be here anyway. If they can't handle the responses to their posts, they shouldnt be posting here.
It's that simple.
Unfortunately, in this day, people are attracted to controversy, negativity and entertainment. Somehow they go hand-in-hand.
How does the song go? "Nice guys get washed away like the rain and the snow..."

Web,
Hello, this is the G/O thread. Yep, I was pimping my guy's band....who the f**k cares?
Just thinking, if you can take the time out of your busy schedule, take a look at all of the other b/s that is being posted. :)

-
Since Ron is reading this thread, can he give Melvin Goodrum and myself our Blue Stars for competing? How about applying the rules here to everyone?
Getting tarred and feathered on Getbig is a hoot.....as long as it happens to the others. I find it rather sad that some have libeled me by referring to some white van and such nonsense. This is the kind of crap that shouldn't be allowed on any discussion board. The moderators allow this shit and then Ron wonders why he has problems.
From my point of view, the Blockhead story was amusing. I had to wonder why the guy in the story never touched the two gals he was close to. :)
As far as debating Bob Chick, appointed pro athletes rep, well, he gives better than he gets. Nuff said.

Ron, I wish you responded to racism on this board the way you do this...I've sent countless report to moderators and 90% of them get ignored...That's why I gave up and now fight the good fight and spew racist sludge like everyone else about everyone except Jews of course...
When I get a report to moderator, I respond to racist posts. But again, debates is different than outright racism.
Ron it's your board and obviously you can run it how you want but it's bullshit to change the rules halfway through the game because some of the power brokers don't like the truth getting out. Bodybuilding needs at least one board that isn't controlled by politics and fantasy.
Debates and discussions are fine. Pure attacks just to troll or get a rise out of me is getting old.
but is there no place to discuss legitimate concerns or gripes against those in power? thread after thread that don't contain any personal attacks get deleted.
Discussion - there is always a place. But the trolls do not discuss, they attack. Debates are fun.
ron is taking a very ex republican (now obamasque) view of things... if u dont agree with us...you hate Amreeka/bodybuilding
Dude - I am Republican. I am taking a 'dont come into my house, shit on the floor, and claim it is ok'. Come into my house and talk about bodybuilding and more.
If you don't care about people leaving the forum why did you block the links to Matt C and Alex23's forums?
Of course I care about people, it is the people who have not posted because of the trolls. I block links to many boards that spam the site. And will continue to do that, because I dont care about other site who cut and paste threads that are there to get a rise out of me.
Now it is more full of trolls who don't even like the sport and just try to bash in a vain attempt try to gain internet "fame".
Bingo - that is the majority of PM's that I get.
Block and I are friends and I think even he would admit his posts lately have been to get a rise out of Ron.
Correct - to the point where I get irked enough that it isnt worth the negativity and attacks on every post.
Just an example: I try to promote my new man & his band in the G/O section & he gets ripped to shreds. What's the point on tearing someone down.....does it make one feel better? I agree that the gimmicks got to go...it grants all these trolls total anomiminity.(sp?) they can do and say whetever they want and have no repercussions.
By a few trolls. With no repercussions. What do they care? Do they even care about the industry, bodybuilding or anything around it. When someone has 15+ negative posts in a row, there is a problem.
Not much will change, in truth, as I normally enjoy everything, but am tired of some of the pure hatred and attacks.

We're all test and tren junkies here.

Ok Ron, that's just fine! So you should establish some limits, DO IT! Don't bitch around, just do it! Half of this fuckers here on getbig are tiny tits! Are they getting under your skin? So fuck the, what are you waiting for? Most of this losers that diss on whatever is written here are the first ones to fuck off if they were challeged personally by any means! Atittude is what is needed! And Chick you need to be thouger on this fuckers! And to end my statement... fuck muslims... Never surrender until the fat lady sings!

Yeah, and fix the quoting problem while your at it. ::)

Ron I think it would be a good idea to lay out specifically what types of threads/posts you don't want to see anymore. Even after reading this whole thread I'm really not sure.

Atittude is what is needed! And Chick you need to be thouger on this fuckers! And to end my statement... fuck muslims... Never surrender until the fat lady sings!

So Beefyheavyweight was allowed to post things bringing down bodybuilding over and over of which many weren't even true but Blockhead posts a few things of which are either meant to be fiction, or true and BANG gets banned.
Apparantly there is no more gossip allowed on the 'Gossip & Opinions' board.
-
Very disappointed by this thread. I don't blame Ron (he's obviously being strong-armed), but I do blame many of you vag's that are chiming in supporting the censorship and limitations he is being forced into.
The board NEEDS to stay the same. We need a place to "keep it real". We need a place to where stories about Vegas hotels can be shared, where physique wreckers (i.e., Palumbo) are exposed, corruption, investigations, scandals, etc...can be talked about.
Can't blame Ron for giving in. He's got lots of fitness p*ssy to crush at these shows and what not. If I were in his position, I wouldn't be sacrificing my access either.
Best solution = Ron creates a new forum with a positive tone, and sells G&O as it currently exists (same member database carries over) to Ed, Block, or others interested in a "real" forum. Has this proposal been considered?
-
lots of people thrive on being negative
the problem with getbig is not negativity
is the annonymous internet personalities who come here to lash out and try to get a raise out of people due to frustrations in their own lives
they stay annoymous because they would never have the balls to say what they say in real life or to put themselves out to be judged
there should be limits : like posting gore videos or pics...racism...and such

Ron's property..Ron's rules. don't like the standards he expects? go to the Matt C or Alex 23 sites OR continue to post the same redundant shit here and DON'T be disappointed if your comments get edited.

Dude - I am Republican. I am taking a 'dont come into my house, shit on the floor, and claim it is ok'. Come into my house and talk about bodybuilding and more.
well at least you r a republican....if u were a bloody liberal i'd personally do my best to end getbig.. :D
getbig ws ALWAYS like this Ron..ALWAYS....you've just changed your attitude in tolerance for one reason or another...you CANT do that ron...you CANNOT change the rules midgame...
and srry ron...you might be the creator/owner of the board...but your house it is NOT....you seem not to realize that. You do not build a building...call it a public structure...allow people access to it for years...and then start whining about it being your house if things dont go your way... :-\
it comes across too much like " my toys my rules" and people will just up n leave :-\
the r safe havens even on getbig...the girl board and the positive board...
the rest is fine as it is....k the dog farted and stunk up the room....i must vacate immediately :-X

All the other BB'ing boards on the net are moderated beyond belief and too fucking vanilla these days. Steroidology used to be similar to Get Big but is deader than Britanny Murphy these days. Get Big is the only place I know of that still lets people speak their mind.
Sure people rip on anything and everything, but it's only the G & O and a couple other boards. Get Big has other boards for people who don't want to read the awesome craziness of this board.
-
Since Ron is reading this thread, can he give Melvin Goodrum and myself our Blue Stars for competing? How about applying the rules here to everyone?
Getting tarred and feathered on Getbig is a hoot.....as long as it happens to the others. I find it rather sad that some have libeled me by referring to some white van and such nonsense. This is the kind of crap that shouldn't be allowed on any discussion board. The moderators allow this shit and then Ron wonders why he has problems.
From my point of view, the Blockhead story was amusing. I had to wonder why the guy in the story never touched the two gals he was close to. :)
As far as debating Bob Chick, appointed pro athletes rep, well, he gives better than he gets. Nuff said.
Basile, don't try to play innocent. I saw what you wrote over at BBpro and quite frankly I was amused at the fact that you actually thought they had some respect for you but you learned the very hard way.
As far as the blue stars are concerned, I honestly don't know why some people have them and some people don't. Leafy Bug's got them, Derek Anthony doesn't, but Billy Guns has them etc. Even Blockhead was given blue stars. Its a selective progress and I don't know how Ron decides but even if I had them, it isn't like my credit score would go up or something and it certainly would not garnish me anymore respect than what I usually get which is a barrage of trolls who are obsessed with me.
But I compete to win the show and get that pro card, not to impress Ron. And each year, I get a bit closer and closer to doing that. And if you think I'm still getting blown out of the water, think again. Its only a matter of time before I start breaking into the pack.

Vince are you going for the Pro card this year?

BlockHead was BANNED??!!!! The only reason i came to this board for the past 10 years was because of people like blockhead!!!! All the other bodybuilding boards are copy cat of each other, they are boring. I live bodybuilding every day!!! GetBig was/is great escape from that reality. It made me laugh when I was down. Kind of like why people who see movies, to escape reality!!!
Ron make no mistake about it the only reason your board became popular was because of people like blockhead, because of the shit talkers. Most of the time we don't like that but thats what makes it entertaining. NO PUBLICITY IS BAD PUBLICITY!!
Ron everyone damn knows that if you want bodybuilding news you don't go to GETBIG
At the same time everyone knows if you want some good laughs and if you want to escape from reality then GETBIG IS THE PLACE FOR YOU TO GO!! That's not what you wanted to create but thats what happened and thats what made getbig. by you shutting that down you might as well shut down get big because then it will be no different then other bodybuilding sites.
Getbig is kind of like Wii in video game world. Nintendo went different route then Sony and MS and it payed off big time. Same thing with getbig. Getbig is different then other sites and it paid off.
If you look at my past posts I'm the first one to stand up for bodybuilding against some guys that clearly don't like bodybuilding. At the same time there is a good balance on this board of guys that love bodybuilding and the once that don't. The only difference is that some guys that love bodybuilding say total truth about it instead of hiding it and pretend that everything is ok.
Through out history if no one ever stood up to corrupt people in charge then nothing would ever get changed.
Thing about getbig is that no matter how big you are no matter how rich you are YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MADE FUN OFF!!! Because this site is nothing more then for entertainment purposes only!! I knew that when i started posting here. When i was made fun of in stead of fighthing with the losers i laughed with them! The sooner the Pro's realize that this is all just for fun and its nothing personal the better.
-
I didn't think so many pussies did not like getbig.
The 'regulars' are not in support of censorship one bit.
-
As far as Ron's comments are concerned, he's 120% right. This is a bodybuilding forum and its to promote the status of bodybuilding not to tear it down. Blockhead and Ed were posting about Jim Manion stealing money and running a pyramid scheme and that simply wasn't true and its not free speech, its just libel and slander....period.
I love bodybuilding and I love competing but lately a lot of you folks have been posting complete nonsense about Bob and the Mirage Hotel, conspiracy theories, and other sorts of garbage that simply doesn't make any sence.
There's nothing wrong with discussing issues and debating about real stuff but when you're throwing crap out of thin air with no proof like Block and Ed were doing, it has no place whatsoever. If Blockhead thinks bodybuilding is this way, he should not have competed last year and needs to leave the sport of bodybuilding and turn in his NPC card.
I like debating up here but slander and libel is a different story. Everyone should keep it real around here.
-
It's Ron's call of course but he should be aware of the fact that there is exactly one reason why this board is still alive: brutal honesty.
It just can't compete with any of the other boards based on anything else than that.
-
Why is Block banned he was a solid poster around here.
-
Vince are you going for the Pro card this year?
Yes, an NGA pro card. I may compete in the NPC NC State Championships as well. I have more time to eat and train properly than I used to so I will be doing more shows yearly.

Vince G, CSN MFT --- Nothing on this board can be taken as slander!!!! Thats like wanting to sue mentally challenged kid for slander. majority of people on this board know that most of the stuff is nothing more but bs for entertainment purposes.
Besdies what i see now is no different then what I saw in the past 10 years on this board.
Mark my words this place will be ghost town if the FOUNDATION ON WHAT THIS BOARD WHAT FOUNDED ON WILL BE REMOVED!!
I'll say it again. This site became popular because it was different. difference is NO HOLDING BACK TRUTH/SHIT TALKING/MAKING FUN/POSTING WHATEVER. You take that away and you have copy cat of every other bodybuilding site out there. Lot of people don't like boring everyday bodybuilding sites that out there and thats why the come to getbig everyday and thats why getbig became popular!!!

Getting mad for being made fun of on getbig is like getting mad for being made fun of on SNL or MadTV. Pro's and People in charge should know this and should laugh with the board instead of against it.
98 PERCENT OF STUFF ON HERE IS BS/ENTERTAINMENT and the other 2 percent in stead of fighting against it the pro's and people in charge should just say "shit happens" and move on. BUT MORE YOU FIGHT AGAINST IT THE MORE FUEL YOU GIVE FOR THE SHIT TO GO ON.
I know a lot about chicago bodybuilding scene. Everything that blockhead said was the truth. lol i even know most of those people he was talking about. I dont get mad, i laugh with him. Because its the truth and truth is IF WE PUT ANY PERSON ON THIS PLANET UNDER THE MICROSCOPE WE CAN FIND SOMETHING TO MAKE FUN OF!! ONCE AGAIN THATS WHAT THIS BOARD IS ALL ABOUT!

Ok, no family jokes thats more then ok,

Vince Basile should have blue stars, why doesn't he? It reminds me of when some so called EXPERT got his EXPERT statis yet Tim Forgerty had none, I had to PM a poke to Ron or one of the other Bosses to get them to give it to him.
-
that is a set up if I ever heard of one. I dont think he has to lay out anything. He will just delete any posts he thinks is attacking his bread and butter. He said dont shit where you eat, gabish?
"Set up" for what? Ron just deleting posts he doesn't like is exactly what things are like now. He would not have created this thread if he didn't want things to change on the G&O board. So we shouldn't make posts trashing the NPC. I just want to know what else is off limits.
And what the fuck does "gabish" mean?

Hulkotron is trying to do his impression of an italian and tries to use that word "Capisce?" (Understand?)
He just doesn't know how it's spelled, thus it instead becomes "Garbaage" in the Hulkotronian Vocabulary.
-
All have good points here - and I enjoy most of it.
However, the posts that created the situation were one of slander and libel that went over the limit.
And if you should truly know, I have been time outed people, 2 or 3 a week that go over the limit. And deleting posts and threads when they go over the limit or are unrelated every day.
BUT, the last week has been more than the past few months.
Basically, everyone knows what exactly the limits are. Go after someone with a slanderous or libelous remark and it will create a problem, especially someone who is in our industry, and goes to the shows and expos.
As I have always said, the people I meet at the contesta and expos have more credibility than a person behind the computer sitting in his mom's house that thinks it is ok to slander someone and post crap.
As for the nature of Getbig, it won't change much.
The main reason for this thread... because some of you kept asking why some threads were being deleted. As for someone not being allowed to post, obviously, judging by the rules, if they abide by them, they come back. But if you continue to violate, enough is enough.

the problem with getbig is not negativity
is the annonymous internet personalities who come here to lash out and try to get a raise out of people due to frustrations in their own lives
Sevaste you are lashing out against everyone all the time.
Like a spewing insult spamming machine.
You are complaining about yourself Sevastaster.
Ron directed his post towards people like you.
You dont know how to behave IRL, and you cant even behave
on a forum.
They tell you, that you scare people away, especially the females.
They put you in time out because you cant behave, and you give advice
in this thread?

I AGREE WITH RON.
THIS BOARD IS SO NEGATIVE..ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE.

However, the posts that created the situation were one of slander and libel that went over the limit.
I guess I just don't read getbig often enough throughout the day. I see thread after thread discussing legitimate concerns regarding the dealings of the NPC, Jim Manion and JM Manion being deleted. If someone posts something 'over the limit' you must be deleting the entire thread (rather than just the offending posting) before I get a chance to read it.

So why was BEEFYHEAVYWEIGHT allowed to continue posting?
I don't come here to take shit seriously or slander people. But Blockhead has some good posts, you can't make one decision about him but let BH keep posting.
Ron just come out and say Blockhead went after the wrong people who are either your friends/suppliers/customers etc. and fair enough, it's your board those are very fair rules.
But you have to be consistent in decisions especially if you don't come out and say directly that Blockhead mentioned the wrong people's names and then you have to deal with their e-mails/phone calls. Otherwise you just lose respect.
-
Yo Ron when are those blue stars gonna get added to my profile bud? I've been a pro bodybuilding champ for 8 years/ 3 years since I broke Wilt Chamberlain's 30K record/ I even mopped the floor with Fedor in a bar brawl a couple weeks ago.
LMAO :D :D best ever post by Big Dicked

As far as the blue stars are concerned, I honestly don't know why some people have them and some people don't. Leafy Bug's got them, Derek Anthony doesn't, but Billy Guns has them etc. Even Blockhead was given blue stars. Its a selective progress and I don't know how Ron decides but even if I had them, it isn't like my credit score would go up or something and it certainly would not garnish me anymore respect than what I usually get which is a barrage of trolls who are obsessed with me.
But I compete to win the show and get that pro card, not to impress Ron. And each year, I get a bit closer and closer to doing that. And if you think I'm still getting blown out of the water, think again. Its only a matter of time before I start breaking into the pack.

Why? Most of them are very accurate.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great. Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels. Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division. I enjoy it.
Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it. It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that. I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.
So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here. If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.
I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site. I do very well in what I do. I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.
When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.
As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else. Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.
Ron I hope that you and the rest of the board read this, and give it some serious thought. I don't say any of this to be rude, but to rather try and thoughtfully affect your way of thinking...
The problem with you Ron, is not that you care about Bodybuilding, but rather that you want to keep the Status Quo going. You like the press passes, and the esteem of your fellow peers in this industry, and any feeling of camaraderie that may come from being on the periphery of this culture.
I for one...care about this subculture, and enjoy talking about actual Bodybuilding, both on the competitive, and non-competitive sides of the spectrum, however, if we are to be honest in discussing, or assessing this subculture, we need to address the many and varied problems that are associated with it.
There are some that are incessantly negative, and that can get old, just as there are some, (I dare say like yourself), that like to take a Pollyanna, saccharine view of the sport, and refuse to actually address the skeletons that lie in our house.
Both extremes will always exist, and as usual, the truth will be somewhere in the middle of the road, and this is the price we pay for having a fairly unmoderated forum.
The only way we are going to see an improvement in Bodybuilding is if we continue to allow the dirty laundry to air. In the past it was easy for the Bodybuilding hierarchy to keep it all hush hush, as it never anticipated an internet age, in which any indiscretions would come back to haunt the guility.
For years, prostitution, (both male and female), for anything ranging from drugs, to placings, and anything in between have taken place, and will continue to do so, unless we can discourage this type of behavior by mocking it to the point that no one would dare do it, for fear of getting caught, and being the next laughing stock.
G4P/Prostitution is not even the tip of the Iceberg... The entire industry relies on a disingenious approach to maintain its survival. Chemical physiques sell products that are either outright ineffective, or do not come anywhere near the claims of its advertisers, (note I am not against supplements, and I even take a few, but I am an informed consumer, that can see past the bullshit).
Young people that are getting into this, need to know exactly what to expect, in terms of the drug use that they will be likely have to go thru, in addition to the other crap that a serious contender will have to endure if they are serious about obtaining a pro card... (offers for "sponsorship," come to mind).
Chasing the bodybuilding dream is not always a wholesome tale, and anyone that is seriously considering becoming deeply involved in "the dream," needs to understand some of the potential pitfalls, if they are going to make informed decisions, even if it means having to put up with jaded, or overly negative people.
I speak this from experience, I attempted to live the dream.... at one point in my life I lived out of a Van in Venice so I could cut down on living expenses in an effort to try to crack my way into competitive bodybuilding.... I worked full time in Hollywood, and trained in Gold's Venice. I even sold drugs to try to make more $$ that I needed. (When I say drugs, I am referring to Steroids, ancillary drugs, etc.)
I have both engaged in, and witnessed Pro's doing illegal activities, and I know of some Pro's in the area trying to use their status as a pro to try and procure gay sexual favors from impressionable young men. This is just part of what I was in the loop while I lived in Venice...and that is nothing compared to people that have been in the Game a long time...
The main point of this, is that there are many positive aspects to Bodybuilding, and I like to talk about them, but there are many bad apples in this industry, and negative sides to it, so you are doing a major disservice to the very industry you claim to care about if you try and censor it.

Maybe we all need to club together and buy Ron a silver sparkly gunmetal thong to show our appreciation, preferably a worn one with a faint odor of a recent menstrual cycle.Men in thongs is serious business and the world would slip in to apocalyptic times if we didnt have it, it would make Haiti look like Tre's muscle mansion.Where else could we discuss the pros and cons of Glute striations, protan and gay4pay?New members are in awe when they see us regulars conversing with such legends as King Kamali, Derek Anthony and Scott Markey.I think any hater should be hunted down and put in to a special camp designed to reeducate them on the seriousness of their crime, we will not allow our sports good name to be tarnished.Below is one of Ron's twinks dealing with a previous hater on the timeout board.So lets all embrace censorship, afterall it worked well for Hitler didnt it? in no way did it blow back in his face.
-
Ron I hope that you and the rest of the board read this, and give it some serious thought. I don't say any of this to be rude, but to rather try and thoughtfully affect your way of thinking...
The problem with you Ron, is not that you care about Bodybuilding, but rather that you want to keep the Status Quo going. You like the press passes, and the esteem of your fellow peers in this industry, and any feeling of camaraderie that may come from being on the periphery of this culture.
I for one...care about this subculture, and enjoy talking about actual Bodybuilding, both on the competitive, and non-competitive sides of the spectrum, however, if we are to be honest in discussing, or assessing this subculture, we need to address the many and varied problems that are associated with it.
There are some that are incessantly negative, and that can get old, just as there are some, (I dare say like yourself), that like to take a Pollyanna, saccharine view of the sport, and refuse to actually address the skeletons that lie in our house.
Both extremes will always exist, and as usual, the truth will be somewhere in the middle of the road, and this is the price we pay for having a fairly unmoderated forum.
The only way we are going to see an improvement in Bodybuilding is if we continue to allow the dirty laundry to air. In the past it was easy for the Bodybuilding hierarchy to keep it all hush hush, as it never anticipated an internet age, in which any indiscretions would come back to haunt the guility.
For years, prostitution, (both male and female), for anything ranging from drugs, to placings, and anything in between have taken place, and will continue to do so, unless we can discourage this type of behavior by mocking it to the point that no one would dare do it, for fear of getting caught, and being the next laughing stock.
G4P/Prostitution is not even the tip of the Iceberg... The entire industry relies on a disingenious approach to maintain its survival. Chemical physiques sell products that are either outright ineffective, or do not come anywhere near the claims of its advertisers, (note I am not against supplements, and I even take a few, but I am an informed consumer, that can see past the bullshit).
Young people that are getting into this, need to know exactly what to expect, in terms of the drug use that they will be likely have to go thru, in addition to the other crap that a serious contender will have to endure if they are serious about obtaining a pro card... (offers for "sponsorship," come to mind).
Chasing the bodybuilding dream is not always a wholesome tale, and anyone that is seriously considering becoming deeply involved in "the dream," needs to understand some of the potential pitfalls, if they are going to make informed decisions, even if it means having to put up with jaded, or overly negative people.
I speak this from experience, I attempted to live the dream.... at one point in my life I lived out of a Van in Venice so I could cut down on living expenses in an effort to try to crack my way into competitive bodybuilding.... I worked full time in Hollywood, and trained in Gold's Venice. I even sold drugs to try to make more $$ that I needed. (When I say drugs, I am referring to Steroids, ancillary drugs, etc.)
I have both engaged in, and witnessed Pro's doing illegal activities, and I know of some Pro's in the area trying to use their status as a pro to try and procure gay sexual favors from impressionable young men. This is just part of what I was in the loop while I lived in Venice...and that is nothing compared to people that have been in the Game a long time...
The main point of this, is that there are many positive aspects to Bodybuilding, and I like to talk about them, but there are many bad apples in this industry, and negative sides to it, so you are doing a major disservice to the very industry you claim to care about if you try and censor it.

Um, Ron? Bix has a point here. Care to explain?
Tax return is a tax return. Yeah. Who cares. But, going further, calling the place where I enjoy currupt, a scam, showing a great dislike for bodybuilding, calling Steve and others slanderous and libelous names and more. That is over the line. Yes, i do go to these events, many of them, and press pass or not, they cannot stop me from going. I will just pay. BUT, I dont feel it is write when people go way over the line.

You do care about bodybuilding, that is good, and are smart and honest in discussing problems that are associated with it. As for me, actually going to 15+ events a year, yes, it is nice to have people say hello to you instead of ignoring you. I like to view the positives of bodybuilding, as any sport as negatives associated to it.
There are some that are incessantly negative, and that can get old, just as there are some, (I dare say like yourself), that like to take a Pollyanna, saccharine view of the sport, and refuse to actually address the skeletons that lie in our house. Both extremes will always exist, and as usual, the truth will be somewhere in the middle of the road, and this is the price we pay for having a fairly unmoderated forum.
That is true, and perfectly willing to debate various issue on how to improve the state of how bodybuilding is, and with 99% of the people around, that is no problem. The issue is when one attacks the very nature of the organization just because, and with no desire to see it better or improved. Reminds me of how Conan attacked and bashed NBC and Leno because he knows he is gone from NBC. He went way over the line. But yelling fire in a crowded theater is not always right.
The only way we are going to see an improvement in Bodybuilding is if we continue to allow the dirty laundry to air.

Correct, and when we see something like that lately, there is a lot of talk on the boards on it.
G4P/Prostitution is not even the tip of the Iceberg... The entire industry relies on a disingenious approach to maintain its survival. Chemical physiques sell products that are either outright ineffective, or do not come anywhere near the claims of its advertisers, (note I am not against supplements, and I even take a few, but I am an informed consumer, that can see past the bullshit).

The positives go along with the negatives. I can put your same argument via basketball, football and the massive amounts of drugs and injuries they go to.
The main point of this, is that there are many positive aspects to Bodybuilding, and I like to talk about them, but there are many bad apples in this industry, and negative sides to it, so you are doing a major disservice to the very industry you claim to care about if you try and censor it.
Your arguement is a good one, and one for debate. No way will I even think of censoring this, and in fact I would argue that with all the negatives, there are a lot of postives too.
But there is a difference to us discussing it to calling people names, calling everything corrupt, and more. I like to walk into an event and debate and discuss various events, not defend myself as to why people can get away with writing anything they want, even if I know it isnt true.
You posted the same message on another thread, which I normally would delete, BUT will leave it there for now. I will though, answer it via this thread.
-
Well I thank you for responding to this. Also I apologize for posting the same thing in another thread, I did so, because I figured that after 8 pages, no one was going to bother to read my post. Perhaps a merging is in order.
I have to leave now, but I will try and post some more thoughts on this topic tomorrow, or MON.

The issue is when one attacks the very nature of the organization just because, and with no desire to see it better or improved. Reminds me of how Conan attacked and bashed NBC and Leno because he knows he is gone from NBC. He went way over the line.
to me this is the most telling. I don't see Conan going way over the line. Conan got screwed by the people in power. And he's pointing out the injustice done to him and his staff.
And I don't see these NPC threads going over the line. They're pointing out the injustice going on within the organization.
As for me, actually going to 15+ events a year, yes, it is nice to have people say hello to you instead of ignoring you.
did you buy your own ticket for any of those events?

Maybe, just maybe, Getbig can require posters to register with their authentic ISP email account. They do that on photography forums and other muscle forums. Try this, go to the 'members' list at the top of the page and see how many handles are listed there under any letter of the alphabet. Who are all those people? Thousands are there. What many people do is post stuff under one handle then have another identity for bagging others. You people call this having a gimmick account. Some have several.
Having to register with your ISP email account will stop many of the anonymous dudes from posting here. At least the moderators can access those names and that is about as good as it is going to get here. Look at how few post an email address? We get trolls, abusers and plain nasty dickheads who have nothing better to do than see if they can stir and annoy others. When the people they target are resiliant they have to pull out their bag of dirty tricks to make them react. Sure it is fun most of the time but for some peculiar reason not quite so amusing when we are the targets of the abuse.
From what is left up on Getbig it is obvious that one of two things is happening. Either Ron allows a lot of crap to be posted here or the moderators agree with much of what is going on so don't delete it. How else can we explain what we read here almost daily? Yes, sometimes the threads are moved and that is quite effective in stopping the nonsense. All groups behave in nasty ways at times and try to get rid of unpopular individuals. One strategy is to gang up on people and call them really awful names. The hope is that those tarred and feathered will disappear.

Excellent post!!! I'd like to add that when I was in competitive mode and thinking to take things to the 'next level' several years ago, many of the comments and truths about women and gear use (and other blunt 'truths' about the industry) persuaded me NOT to take that step.

You are lying to yourself. Why do you come to getbig? Same reason as everyone else. Entertainment and tolerance even for moronic posts and people. There are plenty of highly moderated forums where you could post. But you don't! You are seen as a delusional old fart on many other forums - that's why getbig is a perfect fit for you! You are allowed to attack people such as Chick here! You want more moderation? You don't! Get real Basile.
-
What I say to Bob Chick or anyone else I am 100% responsible for. I don't post here using anonymous handles. So I am more exposed than most. Even Ron doesn't participate in his own forum except to make announcements, etc. So, it isn't a level playing field. There are rules for the forum but they are not enforced. Whatever is enforced should be the same for everyone. At the moment just about anything gets left up unless someone complains about something being highly offensive.
I am not asking for a highly moderated forums. I don't enjoy those at all. No thanks. That is why I prefer Getbig to others. You need your wits here and you have to give and take.

Ron's post was about Blockhead and Special Ed. Both of these characters are "known" persons.
-
I don't happen to agree with Ron about those two guys. They were interesting characters and contributed to the board. However, they each would have known they were venturing down paths that were not being approved of by Ron. End of story. Neither of those guys lacked intelligence so they got what they deserved.
You have to admit there is a lot of leeway given to people to speak openly about the IFBB and the appointed pro athletes rep.

The fact is, getbig is primarily a competitive bbing board rather than a weightlifting board. The amount of threads dedicated to actual workout questions is miniscule compared to the amount dedicated to things having to do with the social and political scene of competitive bbing. The talk in regards to these subjects is just a symptom of the current state of affairs. The reason they are not positive and loving towards bbing is, very simply, because competitive bbing is even less positive and loving than it ever was to begin with. The reason many big names don't want to post here is likely because they are currently participating in or have participated in at least one, if not several, of the acts commonly openly discussed here.
I agree with whoever up there said that this is your board, you can do whatever you want. If you don't want it as it is, then you have to enforce it with an iron fist for a while and not let so many posts fall through the cracks. No exceptions, just act and keep doing it. It's your board and your responsibility. It's going to keep being this way until someone changes it or until the thousands of users slowly stop.
My suggestion is that posts that exhibit no truth or entertainment value(funny) be removed. I think a lot of pros and big names in the field would not mind posting here if, very simply, they would not be made fun of for no substantial reason. Most of them who don't participate in the outermost limits of borderline activity would be fine, but the fact of the matter is they are likely tired of all the BS prior to coming into getbig and are somewhat intolerant to begin-the BS is a symptom of their own and their own peers' actions and they live with it everyday. People are simply talking about here in an intensified manner because of the nature of the tool we are using.
Posts pointing out realities about high level bbing should not be removed-the guy with the long post above said it right. These things need to come out. It doesn't matter that it happens in basketball and football. Those sports would also benefit from people airing out their dirty laundry, and they do. Posts that start and end with 'you look like shit,' or 'you just suck' and things like those could be removed and it would probably do a lot of good as their payout is small in comparison with the damage they do.

Basile, let me explain something to you about the computer age. A lot of people don't want to post on Getbig from ONE LOCATION ONLY. Having to authenticate an ISP prior to logging on would prevent people from surfing in a coffeehouse or library or over a friends house. Even so, it still would not stop anonymous posters anyway
And quite frankly, the board wouldn't be fun without trolls. Having some jackass trying to talk smack to me always keeps me on my game and is good motivation for the gym

Ron I think it would be a good idea to lay out specifically what types of threads/posts you don't want to see anymore. Even after reading this whole thread I'm really not sure.
Exactly. Do that and you, the moderators, the members, and industry visitors know what is to be expected on this forum.
Until there is a thread or page with rules/guidelines, this thread could go on forever.

Ron since you are reading this thread, I want to request that you ban imagery of an extreme, shocking and graphic nature. I cant define it more than that, it would be up to you and your moderators. I believe exposure to extreme images leads to a desensitivity to life and should be censored just like a drug would be prohibitied. I think they can be very harmful to ones physche especialy young and iimpressionable people. I think extreme graphic imagery is worse than pornography and webmasters should work together to ban them...thanks in advance.

I'm happy to see Rush Limbaugh posting here again
-
I know I'll be accused of being the thought police, but I think the standard should be what was the intention of the poster. Sometimes its quite obvious that the only reason a person posted an image or statement was to shock and offend. It would be quite reasonable to ban such postings.
-
i like this forum., it has mant interesting people who post things you dont read about in other forums but i also think there is much bs here and many threads are ruined,, for example guys named narcisistdeity and hulkster they discuss ronnie and yates every thread? this is not normal i think,,,
-
I'm happy to see Rush Limbaugh posting here again
no not Rush Limbaugh, I worry more about my neice and nephews seeing images of corpses and mutilations, and extreme sexual fetishes than them seeing two people having concentual sex. Problem is there is no warning when pictures of that nature are shown.. People that post that sort of thing should be banned. I think obscene and graphic images are detrimental to one's mental health. There is no need to define exactly what kind of picture I am talking about...not going to split hairs here.

Ron since you are reading this thread, I want to request that you ban imagery of an extreme, shocking and graphic nature. I cant define it more than that, it would be up to you and your moderators. I believe exposure to extreme images leads to a desensitivity to life and should be censored just like a drug would be prohibitied. I think they can be very harmful to ones physche especialy young and iimpressionable people. I think extreme graphic imagery is worse than pornography and webmasters should work together to ban them...thanks in advance.
Yes, dont like these images. But the fact is that the society in the US tells us that is ok to showcase murders (CSI), graphic images (The Shield) and much more than it is ok to show love and more. Still, I do not appreciate seeing graphic images that you can see on other sites.
As for Chaos, he trains hard, and was not afraid to hold a grapefruit in a picture. Always interesting, and only goes too far once in a while.

Just some recent posts he made within 5days:
Is that something those with flat noses and puffy lips say?
You wouldn't be able to tell anyways, your lips are permanently swollen.
I wiped the Haiti from my ass
Haiti is crusted up around the butthole of the world
Does being rich make up for being fat, ugly, black and a pussylicker?
You're a midget, what would you know?
Fatboy is a little big for you, no?
Lots of fat slobs in this thread
Is she still fat, black and a carpet munching nipple sucker?
"you're" fuckwit

Basile, let me explain something to you about the computer age. A lot of people don't want to post on Getbig from ONE LOCATION ONLY. Having to authenticate an ISP prior to logging on would prevent people from surfing in a coffeehouse or library or over a friends house. Even so, it still would not stop anonymous posters anyway
And quite frankly, the board wouldn't be fun without trolls. Having some jackass trying to talk smack to me always keeps me on my game and is good motivation for the gym
Melvin, I was talking about registering with an authentic ISP email account. Logging on and posting has nothing to do with registering.
If getting bagged on Getbig is motivation to train then you must be the most motivated guy on the internet!

While you're up here, could you explain why you've never posted the picture of me and you meeting at the Olympia. If I'm not mistaken, Issac snapped a picture before you two ran away screaming from me....just kidding about the screaming part but I would like to add it to my Facebook account.

agreed, but some of the images I have seen here and elsewhere are of real people who are dead or have mutilated there body or allowed themselves to be brutalized or sexually dehuminized, or at least the image was made to look real, these were not ficticious dramatizations for film or TV.
I believe many people that post pictures like that are borderline sociopath and most likely drug users, and addicts. Normal everyday life gives them no pleasure. They are numb from the drugs they take. Extremism is the only way they can feel something. I think they should be eradicated from this site. just my opinion.

I agree that Block would get over the top at times, but what about Special Ed? He, (although snarky at times), was always civil, at least as far as I could tell.
And as far as the libel is concerned... the people that were being slandered by Block, only needed to come on here and tell all of Getbig that he is full of shit. Problem Solved. Also...it wouldn't hurt for some of the bigger names in the NPC/IFBB to actually field questions from the peanut gallery, as it would create far more transparency and I think that most people would respect them, if they were candid, about hard questions.
Not all of us have the luxury of going to expos and talking to people one on one. I have met many pros over the last few years, and I have no problem speaking my mind to any of them, should the need ever arise, but I also live in Venice, and have been around the scene, and have been able to do so.
I agree that many people on here are too negative, but suppressing what they have to say is only compounding the problem in my opinion. The cream tends to rise, and allowing the board to self-moderate, (for the most part), seems best to me.
That said..... I respect RON, for not deleting what I said, and taking the time to discuss my points

Wow.
Chaos your post reveals a lot.
You honestly state that you believe people become friends by attacking the same target.
I know you enjoy attacking and cursing targets, but you do it to find mutual friends, holy shit.
When adults do it its pretty sick.
That reveals how underdeveloped you are.
I am not attacking you.
I watch you attack people and I am telling you, like an adult telling a child:
"It is wrong to call people nig#er, making fun of dead children, plus all the other crap you type"
Take some fucking responsibility.

Normal getbig posters telling the mod of the positive forum, how to behave.

This guy moderating anything, is just too funny.

step away for a day and I miss this. Well maybe Ron Ron Juice can start deleting those Nasser threads or just get rid of fools like Alex and Stark who give nothing to this board. That would be a start.
At least I contribute by my hit it threads. A ray of sunshine within all of those dark clouds.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on.
That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.

Yes, I believe it is a good choice because Daniel is far more skilled in properly running a forum than I am. And on the note of skill, I feel that I can competently handle the management of the rest of the site. I just want my website to be one of the last remaining bastions of free speech available on the internet today.

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great. Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels. Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division. I enjoy it.
Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it. It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that. I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.
So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here. If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.
I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site. I do very well in what I do. I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.
When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.
As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else. Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.
and this is being directed to Block and special ed.........aint hard to figure that out......time to give shane a call 8)

Matt likes to believe his forum represents free speech. What a joke. The only things free there are the vulgar and offensive posts of resident hero Dan Duchaine. Matt stands there looking on and declares what a wonderful thing he has going. Even Goodrum knows that is no place to hang around. Clearly, Matt is showing poor judgment is assigning control of his forum to that individual. Of course, no one believes that because Matt is there keeping the threads going all day long.
Getbig is more than free enough for anyone. We don't see Ron posting in a vulgar or offensive way nor would he condone such behaviour. People wonder how on earth a non-bodybuilder managed to have the most popular muscle forum on the net. Ron obviously does a lot of things right.

Getbig is more than free enough for anyone. We don't see Ron posting in a vulgar or offensive way nor would he condone such behaviour. People wonder how on earth a non-bodybuilder managed to have the most popular muscle forum on the net. Ron obviously does a lot of things right.
There's more to Ron than meets the eye, so that's a lot.

Never thought I`d actually agree with Basile but he`s right on target with his observation.

Matt likes to believe his forum represents free speech. What a joke. The only things free there are the vulgar and offensive posts of resident hero Dan Duchaine.

Hey Vince, just to let you know, I've dropped my protein intake by about 100 grams/day and increased my carbs. I know this has been troubling you for some time now and I just want you to know that some of your wisdom doesn't go unnoticed. I mean, you've been in the game for 100 years now, though you can easily pass for 90 years, so I believe there must be some things of value that you've picked up along the way. I'm just not always sure what it is. ;D

A broken clock is right twice a day.
BTW Wes, like you, I'm now an IronAge outcast. No longer on that board anymore. That was the first bodybuilding board I signed up on when I got interested in the sport again. It use to be good and a place of refuge when Shawn ran it but now no more. Plus, with Meeko now in Heaven it's just not the same. His passing really hit me harder than I thought it would.
PIP Joe Meeko. He was truly one of the good guys. So few left anymore.

Yeah bro,Joe was a good dude with lots of personal demons.........a friggin` shame that he`s gone.
Why did you leave IA?

Oh,BTW pellius,check out http://www.raw-iron.com/

Some of you think that it is ok to come here and bash the very sport that this board is built on. That is ok to degrade the NPC, the people in it, the IFBB and any other bodybuilding, fitness and figure organization. That is ok to call people whatever you want, to just make fun of people, and to bully around.
Well, it is not, and lately, I am getting tired of it. I started Getbig to enjoy the sport, to learn about the people in the sport and the industry. amd to go to a place where the latest news, happenings and stories are there. I didn't come here to start deleting threads every day by people who just don't care anymore, that prefer to bash everything in site.
Lets talk about the NPC. The NPC is a thriving organization, which caters to bodybuilders, fitness, figure and now bikini. I am thrilled with this latest addition - that is bikini. For a photographer, this is great. Bodybuilding has stagnated, but it is still doing well, especially in the local levels. Like it or not, the NPC is the organization that I chose to take pictures with, and the IFBB is the pro division. I enjoy it.
Some of you clearly do not. Some of you just come here to seriously ridicule it and anything about it. It isnt fun for me anymore when you do that. I don't mind the banter, the debates, and many other aspects of it, but when you start calling the very places that I go to names just to get a high, it isnt welcome here.
So yes, if you come here to ridicule the very organizations and the people who actually promote it, and put their money down in it, I don't want it here. If you come here because you enjoy bodybuilding, that it is a different story.
I really don't need you here - remember, I am not here to make 'numbers' or 'make money' of the site. I do very well in what I do. I want to come here to enjoy, to banter, to be entertained - not get dismayed or disgusted.
When some of my very close friends in our industry don't feel like coming here because the ones who don't care about bodybuilding keep bullying around, I am concered.
As clearly indicated by the Time Out Board, you can go somewhere else. Then maybe I can come here, and just go back to enjoy the entertainment and more instead of the outright crap that some of you spew out just to hurt others.
Ron, I'd like to get your view on a couple of things.
Are you the only one who finds it funny that, 15 years ago, everyone was claiming that fitness shows were replacing female bodybuilding, only to find that NOW fitness shows seem to be going extinct, themselves?
I find it ironic that fitness competitors were fighting tooth-and-nail, to prove they weren't just T&A girls. Now, they're migrating to figure (and even, bikini) shows to be JUST THAT: T&A girls.
Do you think that had anything to do than the perhaps-less-than-talented-fitness gals were getting waxed by the ones with heavy gymnastic backgrounds?

Lets just say I was encourage to leave. I've been getting a lot of warnings over the past two years or so for my uncouth behavior. The Meeko thing was the last straw. When a man who lived a healthy and wholesome lifestyle dies at 49 questions were raised. We were admonished that such questions were inappropriate and that we should just "contemplate" on his passing and "reflect" on his life. I'm like "What? WTF are you talking about?" The guy had the longest ongoing thead on the board and many grew to truly love and admire him, me being one of them. But it is inappropriate to wonder what happened to him? I should just contemplate and reflect? I admonished the mods that IronAge has become such a politically correct fag board run by stuffy old fogeys.
I think that here on GetBig the line does get crossed sometimes and I don't like the preoccupation with homosexuality here. But if the choice is rolling in the mud with peeps that aren't going to pull any punches and don't expect me to do the same as oppose to wearing a dinner jacket and drinking wine with my mother-fing pinky up -- I go for the mud everytime.

I'll check it out. But to be honest, I like GetBig. It's not perfect but I like it the way it is. But I come from a different perspective than Ron. I don't see this board as primarily a bodybuilding board. It's evolved into something way more than that. It's kind of a locker room and one of the few bastions left where a man can act like a man or get ridiculed for being a pussy. Men, left together on their own, can be very disgusting and vile creatures. Ribbing, mocking and taunting is how we show our love. This board will only take so much whining and sensitivity before, as a previous poster said, "Drink some cement and harden the fak up." In our increasingly feminized culture we need this.
I don't want some fat fuk posting a pic only to have people say, "Good base. You have a lot of potential. Work more on bringing the quads up." I like that here they say, "You're a fat fuk. Your potential is less than zero. What compelled you to even post a pic? You are hopelessly delusional. Please kill yourself."
I like the fights, the ownings, the humor. It keeps me on my game. I remember one of the first posts I read on GetBig when a newbie introduced himself with the opening statement, "Hey dudes! " then started going on about his interest and stats and what not. The very next reply was, "I started hating you at 'Hey dudes!'" I loved that! Men don't introduce themselves and start giving you their whole life history. You just jump into the fray, take your beatings, toughen up, and start dishing it out yourself.
Ron, you have a board unlike any other. It needs to be tweaked a little. I'm glad that you seemed to have put an end to the graphic gay porn on the G&O and got rid of the pathological haters like The New Hank Wood and Switzennegger. But keep it like the wild west that it is. Bring back Special Ed and Block.
BTW, if Marty is reading this, I just want to say "hi." LMFAO!
