Title: The Fragmentation of the Getbig Meme and what to do about it
Post by: Alex23 on May 10, 2010, 02:57:08 PM
Many have noticed, getbig is not as sharp as it used to be; there 2 main reasons:


In this Essay, we will focus on the last bullet.


In the last year or so, many tools have decided to create a "spin off" of getbig, not understanding that replicating what's already established with no nuance of significant importance is very futile.

"But Alex, you're a hypocrit; you did the same with b.r.o.s.k.i.e.s.f.o.r.u. m..c.o.m"

Not even close. bro-skies was suggested by others to keep in touch; it took 10 minutes to put up and sole purpose was to keep in touch or share shit outside of already defined sites or services. never intent to "re-invent" get big by calling it get-big-2 or any shit like that.



All I'm asking you is to think about it; think about why things are fragmenting and if there's any way to re-unify the Meme.

GodSpeed.

No real way to reunify GB... Bodybuilding has become just all to blantenly homosexual... A lot of us guys that are hetro that got a kick out of picking on the other guys that are hetro about being gay for liking bodybuilding, has lost its fun because we found out many of these "hetro" guy are actually closet homo's.... That and there is absolutely no respect for bodybuilding from the everyday people like there was in the past....

Too many gimmicks, homosexuality, poor modding (in some cases) and personal information being posted lead to GetBig's current state.

As Mayhem became more exclusive, MD required their athletes to only post there, Rx split and watered down the MD collective knowledge base, and Bodybuilding.com went mainstream and became soaked with "great gains, dreamer!" types....

Well, it seems like the great thinkers were peeled away.  The great debates left with them.  Instead of all of them being great members here, they became 'okay' leaders slsewhere.  Everyone wanted to build the next great message board.  I did it too, maybe 5 or 6 years ago with the Boom7 thing with garraeth.  Everyone wanted that control, that way to feel empowered when Bob Chick modified their post or so-and-so mod had beef with them.  and once the mag editors said "I don't want you posting THERE anymore..."


At this point... I don't know what the solution could be.   The powers/mags own the forums.  Money's involved now, people who can't write are forced to on their own boards, and aside from everyone getting gimmicks and posting in one place because they WANT to... I don't know how it could return to how it was.

  • Lack of interest in bodybuilding, lack of "industry personalities" posting
  • Fragmentation of the Getbig Meme

2 options:

physiquebook.com - help mattT out but he really don't have any true ownership of the domain...so he screwed if it is sold to MD, flexonline, etc.  so...a getbigger still dont benefit.

npc - go over to their boards and put more money in the pockets of manion sr and his legit non-profit.  damn sure no getbiggers getting paid over there.

getbig - stay and clown as usual.

The problem as I see it: fragmentation. Too many subfora and such dilute the poster base. People can run and hide in their own little corner and never be called out. Prime example: powerlifting. Keep that shit in G&O. Yes, some PLers will get their squat suit in a bunch because of the comments they will get. But then again: sometimes people need to listen to outsiders for an objective evaluation. you may not like what they say, but that doesn't mean they are wrong.

So merge a shitload of subfora.

The funny thing is, that people try to make you feel guilty about not having 2087176198790 "friends". Fuck that. I have three real friends, and that's plenty. I can go to each of them for a quick few thousands or a place to stay, and I will get it -- no questions asked. That is real friendship. Anything else is just acquaintances who take up time but never really contribute. They can go die in a pubic hair inferno.

 True. Especially in the US. There's this stigma that if you're successful and cool that you must have dozens of friends.

 I just don't want to waste my time hanging out with that many people. A few quality people is all I need. And when I crave the city I can just travel to it for a few days or whatever.

 Right now i'm living in polluted urban chaos. I need to get away.

that is a pretty spot on analysis........getbig will never return to its former glory because the industry has changed

it used to be all the people in one spot., now it has fragmented into multiple feifdoms where everyone wants to preside over the masses.........but they forget that not all that many people are into bodybuilding anyway so there is not a very large pool to draw from.  so as the message boards fragment into smaller boards, it just becomes one dude  running a board with 20 or 30 posters

steve blechman didnt help things either, with the precedent of paying athletes to post exclusively on one forum.......he really is a piece of garbage and i hope he dies.

I was on Mayhem for about 5 years until the ass kissing and Lana Dora appreciation thread and other b.s. got to be too lame to handle.

The good thing about this board is that it keeps it real. It's all the shit that you really want to say in real life...but never will come out because you would get your ass beat in real life by a 300 lb powerlifter if you say his squat was shit or that a 260lb bodybuilder physique looks like Palumbo on crack.

I think alot of it comes down to quality posters either being in timeout or their personal info being exposed or they just plain left the site.

Think about just one year ago compared to today, Squadfather, Mass_04, Blockhead, Special Ed, Man of Steel, Mars, Karl Kox, Geo....All pretty much gone and all of them were brilliant. Now we have a bunch of delusional twinks and gimmicks who just are not very funny or interesting filling their places.

Of course the quality of the site is going to go down when that is the case.

bodybuilding = homosexuality, drug abuse and insecurity.  
Getbig= closet homosexuals, schmoes, insecure 40 yo losers and 120 lbs teens with no life.  

Who wants to be associated with that?



That is the stupidest thing I have ever read, For a so called "smart guy" you really are dumbass.

It never crossed your mind that a portion of getbig are just regular dudes who like to lift weights and come on here to crack jokes and have a few laughs?

doesn't help when people get butthurt because of internet ownings and start stalking the best posters.  ::)

x 100

add that taking it to a personal level is beyond over the line ... it's mentally deranged ... gathering peoples personal info and posting it { like drkaje said earlier }  shouldn't be tolerated or forgiven  :-\

"OK" ThickLizzy...



Most of these morons kids on these sites are gonna find out the hard way that sharing personal details with strangers has zero upside and and big downside.

And, weren't you the same guy who said that employers are now looking to see if their employees have myspace/facebook pages?

Social networking is just a way for regular, everyday people to inflate themselves, kinda like what you do here.

Facebook users reveal risky details
by Lance Whitney
 
More than half of Facebook and MySpace users surveyed have posted risky personal details about themselves online, according to the results of a new survey from Consumer Reports.

The magazine's State of the Net 2010 report, published in its June 2010 issue and discussed in its Electronics blog on Tuesday, also discovered that 23 percent of Facebook users don't even know about the site's privacy controls or just don't bother to use them.

The Consumer Reports National Research Center, which conducted the survey, found that about 1,300 of the 2,000 U.S. households included in the study now use social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. That's about twice as many as a year ago. But many of those people seem to be in the dark about the potential risks of using a social network. Of those surveyed, 40 percent had posted their full birth date, potentially exposing them to identify theft, said Consumer Reports.

Yes am I did T-lizzy. Smart comments. But the point is it's here to stay; people of all ages spread too much info... not just kids... it will catch up soon and people will learn. Shit vets like us know better already.

But if you really wanna dig dirt on people, there's always a way...  TrailerFather thought he was "untouchable"... he learned the fat trailer way....

right back at you brother....i'm glad you are still here too.

In his defense I will say Squad was a legend around here....the Jimi Hendrix of Getbig. People are stealing his riffs from people that stole his riffs....Too bad he went too far with someone who handed him his Ass

LOL@!!! I love the analogy... yea the man has quite a lgendary mind, the Andy Kauffman of the muscle worshipping world. The man could've made Mr-T meltdown and crawl into his A-Team van in fetal position.

I challenge him to come back.

I was done with these fuckers Dave... in march 2008! They backstabbed me, I moved on... I'm not the one still clinging to a lil' radio show 18 months later still bringing "alex23" back in the picture...  to this day they keep poking at flexingtonsteele for my personal info... so who's obsessed...

I'm sure you can relate to the backstabbing... if it wasn't for them backstabbing you, your info would've never got out... never forget that... they laugh at you behind your back...
