When Squadfather was telling how he was basically owning the living shit out of random folks he met at the gym/supermarket - there will never be a getbigger like him.  :'(
Another highlight was the "gyno-classics" thread where somebody phototshopped a handbag onto "titty boy"... genuinely hilarious.

I love looking back to the old threads from around 05-07...some of the retorts and come backs are hilarious and classic lmao!
 
 I think I registered around 08/09 but many of the handles I saw then aren't really around now for whatever reason.
  I need a few shots of getbig to get my day going on the right foot lol.

Agreed.

The gimmicks provide a certain amount of entertainment, but they're running wild now.  Mods need to do something about it, but they don't seem to care.

Admittedly I was a big Squad Father groupie. 2003-2007 was insane. I was on all day 24/7constantly running around as some kind of Squadfather lap dog.  ;D

Also the Y board was kind of a big thing.

Also that fat kid on the dirt bike that stole all the money from his parants and bought cocaine was a big deal.

Squadfather made that guy have an epic Christmas Day meltdown one year following him around the board and posting that motorbike pic.  Taylor ended up writing something like, "DAVE YOU ARE A FAT MOTHER****** !!  IF I CATCH YOU ON THE STREET, IT'S LIGHTS OUT, BABY!!!"

Been lurking here for years. Squadfathers reign of terror, the Derek Anthony meltdowns and ownings, the Adonis vs Palumbo calorie is a calorie wars, Special Ed and the radio show. Those were great times this place was exciting. At one point the whole entire industry moved and shaked with what was going on here. 2005-2008 were the best years. It's never been the same. The anti social creepers making this personal "outing" people and trying to ruin lives made this place its current below mediocre state.

The V board used to have the 2nd most posts of any board, it was huge during the glory years.

Then it got nuked and a lot of the great work from kiwiol, big cyp, the night stalker etc was lost

not giving Rob all the credit - there was an entertaining as hell cast of characters, pros & guests - and that was the golden age of Getbig.

Me and Massive G had orders to eliminate any getbiggers immediately if they spammed the board or started shit.

When "240 or Bust" got dressed down by Kamali, that was a sure sign things were going south, haha. He lost his nerve and from then on became a wannabe political talking head, and we all know how that ended  :D

(an old timer here)

the old days when getbig had a cascading thread format was the best as you could directly address/rebut a post.
Also you could log in as any name you pleased. We had a lots of fun with this.

recall the name changing gimmick - eg. Yorian Dates


I remember when getbig.com was the sole authority for real time "bodybuilding news".

For the 1998 Olympia, I remember coming home late logging on expecting to see Flex Wheeler finally take it, and I literally said WTF to see Ronnie Coleman as the victor
(Thanks Ron Avidan).
