There is a way to search members.  I think you can search by registered date as well.  There are thousands of accounts registered without a single post.

I disappeared for a few years and came back on here (in the forum's current format) in 2003.  Pretty much the only person I remember from back then who still comes around occasionally is Butterbean.  Hi Butterbean!  :-*

EDIT:  Oh, and Coach was on here too back in the olden days of the interwebs.  And stuntmovie.  And onlyme (may he RIP).

onlyme had health issues from his excessive bodyweight, but his excessive bodyweight and health issues were brought on by a spider bite to his lower leg (don't remember what kind of spider, maybe brown recluse), which became badly infected and ultimately led to his loss of mobility and untimely death.

Jeez - That's one spider bite to keep well away from.

If that potent - Is there little or no antidote for it.

First heard about Getbig in the late 90's when he'd pop into MFW to post updates -

http://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/ron$20getbig.com (http://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/ron$20getbig.com).

Back then it was more a chat room, then it moved closer to a forum. Most boards looked sort of like Reddit does now.

You can still click into the G and O and a few others and read the old threads from back then. It's interesting.

-----------------------------------------

I joined in 2004 after some time away from the scene, and some lurking. MFW was getting away from bodybuilding, and Muscle Mayhem was pretty popping, but Getbig seemed like were the funny was, so here I am.

There are a bunch of people with 2003 registered dates here.. including myself. 

There was no need to register in 2003 because the guest feature was still on.  Not sure when I really started posting... maybe that year, maybe a year earlier.

It was necessary to register in order to ascend from being considered a petty troll (which all guests were).  IE, you'd post as a guest and then people would completely ignore you and shit because you were a guest and guests generally spoke utter shit.

Well, yes, but the point I was making was that he hasn't posted since 2006...However his computer still has the getbig cookie on it from 2006, and whenever he lurks, the cookie registers his lurking as an "activity"...Does he still use his 2004 computer?

Great post here BB, thank you. It was fun looking at some old names. I joined GB in 2004, used to be on Mayhem before that.

You are aware that if he is in timeout, he can still log in, yeah?

I would presume that last activity on SMF is based on being logged on and making a page request

Cookies have nothing to do with it.  Hence your confusion.

I was probably the first 10 since I came in my name before gh15..

in any case ths forum became what it became bodybuild wize because of me pretty much.. im talking advance bodybuild forum where it is taken as such by the masses of athletes all over the world,, this were the hey days 2005-2011 or so,,

the forum as a whole was best when squad father ruled it with 240 and then I came in and took the charge in the bodybuild department,,

nothing wil ever match 2005-2010 years on get big,, these 5-6 years are untouched.. its like ummm let me think about it..

2005-2010 on getbig is like the years boris becker ruled tennis.. you remember that german right?

this forum was unbeatable 2005-2010 it was diego maradona like.. it was boris becker and ivan lendel like.. it was pretty much the Mohamad ali of bodybuild and fitness between 2005-2010 which ofcourse were its best years
