I was here...I was just looking for a connection for juice and how the fuck to use it. ;D
I got here in Nov. 98. I certainly wasn't as vocal as I am now. I think my original name was Big Wiggs.

Remember talking Dorian's 1997 win here, probably about a grand total of 30 people on the board, lol.

Many meltdowns here when ronnnie came out of nowhere.

That would have been awesome to have been on here when Ronnie won his 1st Mr. O to read how all these schmoes reacted

LOL....This place is actually where I found out Ronnie won. I was in Germany I was 19 years old. Hardcore into bodybuilding. Flex had just kicked ass in the Arnold that year and Arnold himself said it was the best physique he had ever seen. I thought, finally Flex was going to win. I was only on here, elitefitness and Jason Mueller's board back then. I remember I logged on to the computer and came here and saw, 1. Ronnie Coleman 2. Flex Wheeler. I remember thinking Ronnie Coleman? WTF He was a non player. That was until I got my IFBB 1998 Mr. Olympia Video in the mail and watched it. I became a believer quickly.

Flex Wheeler was a god here. They all thought it was the biggest fluke and that ronnie was done.

If you had actually been here since then, you wouldn't have it's the same. The board has changed in many ways. From the layout of the (as Vince said) the scrolling text engine, the people here (Vikingpower, Flower, Geo, Goatboy, Slippeddisc, and many many others), the accepted behavior is far FAR different now. From the ownings, meltdowns and people finding personal info on others...to being TO'd far quicker. Ron is harder on the gimmicks too.
I've been here about 10yrs, and remember quite a bit. Every now and again a thread like this pops up, and I like to see what people do and do not remember.

People would barely use chat back then. I also had the same experiences of going into the room and there being one person there.
Probably a schmoe waiting to strike. ;D

Post getbig's ironage chat logs please. Would be cool to see what Goatboy had to say at the time.

Yea, amazingly enough the first bodybuilding internet trolls were folks like Patrick Arnold, Dan Duchaine, and the staff of Muscle Media 2000. Back in the early and mid 90's on the Usenet's, it was just as wild as today. Duchaine actually once posted up that Mike Mentzer had died and all those rumors about him drinking urine and directing traffic were straight from the Usenets.
Dan Duchaine really didn't give a rats ass who he offended or what he said. Complete bad ass who showed no mercy.
Oh yeah, Ron wasn't always fat. He used to be a decent bodybuilder and had a good physique. Hell, even Issac from Lift Studios used to complete...pretty good six pack.

Many of those Mentzer stories are true.

That's true. I used to use the chat room back then mostly and not the forum. And usually there was about 5-8 people in there.
And there was this old gay man who was in there like 20 hours per day. And when a new perosn came in he would always say "Hello there : )" or something like that.

when did 240 first come on the scene?
-
Hello there :)

Hello there :)
