Title: Getbig Boring? Lets discuss
Post by: naked truth on July 05, 2020, 07:49:19 PM
 if Ron is not weak heart-ted he will take it positively instead of banning me for telling truth  ..this forum like truth right ?

reasons are below,


(1) unfunny frequent  posters like Superfag1900  , Fatfrenzy and armyofone  starting and maintaining topics that are not interesting and making very poor quality multiple  posts.

(2) forum is full of gay jokes and gay threads plus racist hateful threads , not a bright place to stay at all.

(3) people with most post count are the biggest weirdos here actually ( including kwon ) with exception of few ( tapeworm , mr anabolic etc )

(4) banning and disappearance of good posters while posters like shizzo was allowed to make this forum quality go low.
 
(5) not letting new posters  come in ...if you try to register it will take 3-4 month to get approve and you might not even get email notifying the registration  completion


etc.

Kwon and Army of One compulsively posting about BLM and conspiracies. It's boring and not related to bodybuilding.

Naked,
Post some of your quality content for us.
Do you have any info on peaking the biceps or developing a biceps split like Boyer Coe?
Describe your training routine.

If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.

Post your training log in the Training Log section. A few of us do so.

Post some stuff in the other sections that's appropriate.  Maybe you already do as you are using a gimmick acct now.

You are expecting this forum to be like it was from 2005-2012 or so, thats never going to happen again.It was a period of history before most people had a smartphone, when bodybuilding was more popular, when there were characters competing, talking shit etc. social media platforms were all in early stages, with few users due to most no having a smartphone.Forums were the most popular way to talk online, mostly populated by more tech savvy desktop users.

The influx of users on here from 2004-2012 all got older, got married, had kids etc,and feel stupid making "hahah I bet you are the type of guy" , "gayer than" , "outed" posts, most drifted away to facebook, instagram and the like for their social fix. The pros all jumped ship once facebook, instagram and twitter blew up, places where they could get their ass kissed, make money, and not feel like crap everyday getting trolled.

Whats left is a hardcore group who largely find todays bodybuilding dull as dishwater, but all share similar political views and sense of humor.I dont think I could name more than 4 current pros, I could have listed most of the olympia lineup 16 years ago

Making gossip and opinions strictly bodybuilding related would be the death of the forum, bodybuilding just isnt popular or strong enough to maintain a forum on that subject alone, which is why most of the hardcore boards are dead. Pros all are too image conscious and social media savvy today to risk saying or doing anything controversial, which doesnt make for good viewing. Add in people like the hodge twins who have physiques joe public aspire to, while being interesting at the same time, along with hundreds of others like them on yt.Its just more interesting than bodybuilding to anyone but the hardcore, which isnt enough to sustain this forum

I agree Ron needs to sort out the registration, I never understood the 4 month thing, at most leave it 10 days after registration before people can post to limit ultra trolls registering and immediately spamming.

I make alot of threads to keep the forum moving, on interesting things I know from experience the board will like.I was banned in 2017 and noticed the board came to a grinding halt in fresh content and posts, so if you have a better suggestion with your 5 posts of hard work contributing, Im all ears.

There are pretty much zero bodybuilding threads on G&O.  A few politics/current events threads are inevitable but this is a bodybuilding forum, no?  Seems like it's been mostly politics threads for 2-3 years now.


There's not much reason to come here if it's all politics stuff, there's a million places on the internet to find that.  I come here to escape that stuff--or at least I used to.  I'd imagine other users feel similarly.

those areas are dead  already .

gh15 is a mental case ..a loony...but he should have never been banned...he was far more entertaining than the guy ( probably chaose ) who banned him ..he should have given warning only.

forum member will never accept this since he left this forum first so it hurt their ego .

Also ron takes 4 month to approve account ..if new member dont come forum cant last...members always go.

This isnt a gimmick accoint . you are wrong on that.

and this forum is past " solvable " ....nobody can save it...i am just here to wash hands while water is flowing

i didnt register to read and tell about training...i learn by myself mostly since what is right for you can be very wrong for me..diet training hormones.

Anymore classic zingers like asking Goodrum 10 years after finding out he is bi this?I couldnt stop laughing at the masterful wit and nuance!

this is mainly a current-event, news type of forum. anyone who comes here for BB or similar is clueless
there are a few decent ones (forums) still around out there, with minimal politics/race/hate threads and lots of muscle-building type of content
and plenty of science, supps, training, gear, contest content
folks mainly come here for the fights and some of the funny stuff

its not racist no such thing
hate is normal, human emotion, comfort with your own kind is also normal
leftist humanoids trying to control human feelings/emotions wont ever work
so all the labels they put on things are just that and meaningless
(hate, racist, etc)

let people do what they want, feel what they feel and fuck off
and just pellius livens this place up i notice when someone tries (and ends up failing) to get into w/ him.
pellius usually owns them
the sexual/prime/soggy douche makes for some good comedy, dick sucking grandpa, yukk
and of course tds whipping boys dearth, straw, king of thread back-fires (comedy gold)

Here's Reddit Bodybuilding - https://www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/new/ , probably the biggest forum outside of Instagram and Facebook. It's boring as fuck, and doing topics similar we did 15-20 years ago. And we did them better.

Modern bodybuilding is all drugs. Most people  figured that out a long time ago. So no new training techniques , machines, diets, or non PED supplements will make a dime's bit of difference.

That leaves:  what bodybuilder died a premature death today, what bodybuilder has performed gay sex, what bodybuilder set his assistant on fire, etc etc. All the political stuff is just in between filler.

Getbig does an excellent job of keeping me informed on said matters.

If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. (ftp://If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.)

Yep, here you go.  Find something to post about bodybuilding, fitness, nutrition, figure, expos, people in training, but you remind me of a whiner at the store, complain about everything, yet do nothing.

Quote
There's not much reason to come here if it's all politics stuff,

You know, this is a political year, with crazy things goign on.  Hence, why we have the POLITICS board, and most political threads wind up there to discuss.

Quote
There are pretty much zero bodybuilding threads on G&O.

Sadly, there are a lot less bodybuilding and related threads out there since all expos and contests were stopped, and we have protesting, Covid-19, and many other issues that are in the spotlight at the moment.  When we can get more contests, events, people talking about bodybuilding, more threads will come back.   In normal times, we used to look at the upcoming contests, NPC USAs, Pro Bodybuilding shows, but alas, all are postponed.   Right now. many of my friends are just worried about jobs, businesses, even if a gym is open, and if they can even train without being harrassed.


Quote
Admin realises there morons but admin probably thinks there bringing in more traffic to the board.

There is NO funding coming here, so it doesnt matter.  What I value is debate, discussion, on both sides, which can be discussed rationally without the leveling of Racism and Hatred for one race or religion.  People are frustrated from all sides.   Eventually, when more contests and expos and something to look forward to comes back, many non-related threads will go back to the General Board, just as Politics are on the Politics board. 


But I can guarantee you that as we gear up to the 2020 November election, it will get crazier with everything


If you want to have better threads here, be part of the solution and post positive bodybuilding and fitness related thread. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and go to another board, where you obviously were at before.

The quality of bodybuilding gossip we get now is pretty lack luster too. Some of the best gossip we got in the old days came from disgruntle guys that were still hanging out at the big gyms of the time - Gold's Venice, the New York guys from Strong and Shapely, Bev Francis's Gold's, Diamond Gym, etc...., etc.....

Now all those guys are old, and somewhat aged out of bodybuilding, and you don't need to belong to specific gyms to make a name for yourself, so all that juicy gossip is gone with it.

Yep, here you go.  Find something to post about bodybuilding, fitness, nutrition, figure, expos, people in training, but you remind me of a whiner at the store, complain about everything, yet do nothing.

You know, this is a political year, with crazy things goign on.  Hence, why we have the POLITICS board, and most political threads wind up there to discuss.

Sadly, there are a lot less bodybuilding and related threads out there since all expos and contests were stopped, and we have protesting, Covid-19, and many other issues that are in the spotlight at the moment.  When we can get more contests, events, people talking about bodybuilding, more threads will come back.   In normal times, we used to look at the upcoming contests, NPC USAs, Pro Bodybuilding shows, but alas, all are postponed.   Right now. many of my friends are just worried about jobs, businesses, even if a gym is open, and if they can even train without being harrassed.


There is NO funding coming here, so it doesnt matter.  What I value is debate, discussion, on both sides, which can be discussed rationally without the leveling of Racism and Hatred for one race or religion.  People are frustrated from all sides.   Eventually, when more contests and expos and something to look forward to comes back, many non-related threads will go back to the General Board, just as Politics are on the Politics board. 


But I can guarantee you that as we gear up to the 2020 November election, it will get crazier with everything


If you want to have better threads here, be part of the solution and post positive bodybuilding and fitness related thread. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and go to another board, where you obviously were at before.

Well said Ronfather!

(2) forum is full of gay jokes and gay threads plus racist hateful threads , not a bright place to stay at all.

(3) people with most post count are the biggest weirdos here actually ( including kwon ) with exception of few ( tapeworm , mr anabolic etc )

(4) banning and disappearance of good posters while posters like shizzo was allowed to make this forum quality go low.
 
(5) not letting new posters  come in ...if you try to register it will take 3-4 month to get approve and you might not even get email notifying the registration  completion

Of course, but the issue goes way further back than March or whenever gyms started getting closed down and shows got cancelled. 

Take a look at the threads from about 5 years ago:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?board=1.30000

80-90% are fitness related. 

This is about 2 years ago:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?board=1.10000

Maybe 20% are fitness related?  Of those that are fitness related (eg: your bodybuilding show threads), several received few or no replies

And then of course, a quick scan of the threads on the forum today showed less than 5 that were even tangentially fitness related.  If this is the vision you have for the G&O, described as "A board where you can discuss, gossip, talk and read the latest news and events about the bodybuilding industry", so be it.

Interesting that you say this. At the moment I am getting ready to build a piece or two of new gym equipment. A triceps machine and then perhaps a running machine with resistance, not anything like a treadmill.

I have to overcome the momentum problem with such a machine as athletes want to go full speed and they are quicker than the force of gravity. Still would be a good machine for most athletes to build

amazing leg strength. As Arthur Jones explained, you need an anti-kinetic device. The only current machine that I know of that has that property is the Keiser air leg press. Instant load for negatives.

Life Fitness had an amazing series in the 1990's working on electrical resistance. Also instant load for negatives. Using conventional resistance isn't so easy to design. Will give it more thought.

Regarding electrical resistance ( I was hook on by Bruce Lee), try modern day EMS at :Bodytechfitness or Inpuls gyms in Sydney.

In just 20-30 minuts you'll be dead, depends of EMS level. Still thinking to buy 1 of those EMS suits, $ 3000 ?.

You are expecting this forum to be like it was from 2005-2012 or so, thats never going to happen again.It was a period of history before most people had a smartphone, when bodybuilding was more popular, when there were characters competing, talking shit etc. social media platforms were all in early stages, with few users due to most no having a smartphone.Forums were the most popular way to talk online, mostly populated by more tech savvy desktop users.

The influx of users on here from 2004-2012 all got older, got married, had kids etc,and feel stupid making "hahah I bet you are the type of guy" , "gayer than" , "outed" posts, most drifted away to facebook, instagram and the like for their social fix. The pros all jumped ship once facebook, instagram and twitter blew up, places where they could get their ass kissed, make money, and not feel like crap everyday getting trolled.

Whats left is a hardcore group who largely find todays bodybuilding dull as dishwater, but all share similar political views and sense of humor.I dont think I could name more than 4 current pros, I could have listed most of the olympia lineup 16 years ago

Making gossip and opinions strictly bodybuilding related would be the death of the forum, bodybuilding just isnt popular or strong enough to maintain a forum on that subject alone, which is why most of the hardcore boards are dead. Pros all are too image conscious and social media savvy today to risk saying or doing anything controversial, which doesnt make for good viewing. Add in people like the hodge twins who have physiques joe public aspire to, while being interesting at the same time, along with hundreds of others like them on yt.Its just more interesting than bodybuilding to anyone but the hardcore, which isnt enough to sustain this forum

I agree Ron needs to sort out the registration, I never understood the 4 month thing, at most leave it 10 days after registration before people can post to limit ultra trolls registering and immediately spamming.

I make alot of threads to keep the forum moving, on interesting things I know from experience the board will like.I was banned in 2017 and noticed the board came to a grinding halt in fresh content and posts, so if you have a better suggestion with your 5 posts of hard work contributing, Im all ears.

Now this is analysis.

Getbig has given us so many good memories.

I hold out hope that we will see some legends return after seeing what a waste of time social media is.

What do you think of the Medx machines that Jones developed after selling Nautilus? Instead of pulling the stack from the top it lifts it from the bottom with a very short stroke which is supposed to make it friction-free.

The 24 Hour Fitness in Torrance, CA. had a line of Keiser Machines and I thought they were absolutely great. You could actually do fast movements without causing momentum and you could adjust the air pressure while doing the movements. You could lighten the load for force reps and increase the load for negatives. It also seemed easier on the joints. I'm not sure why. It was kind of high maintenance as the compressors would go out several times during the year.

Of course, it wasn't very popular and 24 HR eventually for rid of it. People had this biased that because it was air pressured it couldn't build your muscles like weights can. It was good for rehab but not strength and hypertrophy. The reasoning was that air pressure isn't a natural resistance like weights are. Even people whom I considered intelligent would make this utterly asinine argument. Other than this old granny, I was the only one that used this equipment during the hours I trained.

Even people whom I considered intelligent would make this utterly asinine argument. Other than this old granny, I was the only one that used this equipment during the hours I trained.

Golds Gym at Venice had some Keiser machines. I remember that the seated calf machine was great. Heaps of resistance. What I found, and this applies to almost all equipment, was that movements didn't feel right if you went really heavy. The calf machine excepted, of course. But machines for chest just didn't feel right with big loads. I worried about my joints then.

Cybex built a horizontal leg press. Quite impressive machine until you loaded heavy weights. Then the movement didn't feel right. The problem with much of the equipment is that the designers are not bodybuilders. Then you have the problem of catering to all sorts of individuals, tall, short, fat, etc. Not easy to make a machine that accommodates everyone and feels right. I thought of making some machines with self aligning pivot points. Should be great for arms, chest and shoulders.

The Medx machines are very advanced and some are excellent. The triceps machine is a good one. Lots of resistance in the extended position. Some guys complained that the weights didn't feel as heavy as indicated. If you selected 100 pounds it might feel like only 70 or so. All machines with moving parts have some friction. Ray Mentzer had to admit that my machines were smoother than Nautilus. I used big pulleys and heavy duty bearings plus linear bearings on the shafts.

Actually there aren't enough bodybuilding posts plain and simple. Sorry not sorry.

Interesting that you say this. At the moment I am getting ready to build a piece or two of new gym equipment. A triceps machine and then perhaps a running machine with resistance, not anything like a treadmill.

I have to overcome the momentum problem with such a machine as athletes want to go full speed and they are quicker than the force of gravity. Still would be a good machine for most athletes to build

amazing leg strength. As Arthur Jones explained, you need an anti-kinetic device. The only current machine that I know of that has that property is the Keiser air leg press. Instant load for negatives.

Life Fitness had an amazing series in the 1990's working on electrical resistance. Also instant load for negatives. Using conventional resistance isn't so easy to design. Will give it more thought.

One of the gyms I work out at has a plate loaded machine which may do what your talking about with a resistance running piece of equipment. Here is a photo of the exact machine I am speaking of.

Not a lot of people at this gym use it though. I have tried it a couple of times and I like it. I don't have to add much weight to feel the workout.

A standard automotive shock absorber provides force dependent resistance.  Seems likely they would have low resistance recovery. Needle valves give fine control of hydraulic and pneumatic flow. Reputable spring manufacturers will have performance graphs for compression, extension, and torsion springs.

Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc.... have nearly killed the traditional forum, and Crossfit, fitness, and Covid have left traditional bodybuilding on its last legs.

Here's Reddit Bodybuilding - https://www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/new/ , probably the biggest forum outside of Instagram and Facebook. It's boring as fuck, and doing topics similar we did 15-20 years ago. And we did them better.

Post by: Palumboism on July 12, 2020, 08:31:37 AM
I'm on two other forums that are related to other interests I have.  One of them requires the moderator to approve every post I make because I'm a relatively new member, having joined a moth ago.  From the time I post to the time it appears is over ten hours.  Additionally, that board is so dead, the entire forum I was on had zero posts yesterday.  I almost want to send a PM to the moderator to tell him to pull his head out of his ass.  In addition the rules and regulations on that forum go on for pages.  The will delete your post if you have a spelling error.  I'm 100 percent serious.

The other of the two forums I'm on also has the multi page rules and regulations and initial approval process on every post for new members.  In addition there's a new rules page added every year.  They heavily moderate every little thing on that forum as well.  Calling someone a fanboy will likely get you banned.  It's very amusing how benign the posts are that get people banned.  Your average Getbigger would be banned almost immediately from both of the forums. 

I'm going directly from these totalitarian regime forums to Getbig daily.  I really believe these other forums could learn so much be what Ron has created here.  I don't see these other forums changing and I don't see them generating enough traffic to even make it worth someones while to post there.

I find all these Getbig isn't as good as it used to be threads amusing because many who post here don't appreciate how good we have it.

I'm not as active on other forums as I am here.

Most forums I've visited are slow compared to GB. Also, most mods on other forums need to get off their high horse.

Having good grammar and manners are important when the forum deals with academic topics. Men in thongs get a pass.

The lack of moderation is a double edge sword. I don't think most forum owners want a bunch of idiots using the n-word on every other thread.

Conspiracy nuts may be a bodybuilding thing, so probably more moderation would not really help.

Free Speech is important. However, certain words are just not allowed, nor is hatred of races.  You can argue over specific issues, which is discussion and debate, but blaming a race, religion, a type of person because of they way they look, sound, are - is pure racism, and I know that 95% of the people are not like that.  I hate the fact that certain people (of both spectrums) try to silence speech thinking we are all stupid.  But I also hate the people who are racists that actually think an entire group is like that. Which means they have no idea about the world. 

BUT - most important, this is a bodybuilding, fitness, supplement, expo board - and when there are contests, events, bodybuilding related items, those go first (hence, why many different boards) are on here.  But right now, current events and COVID-19 are eclipsing everything.

I'm not on many anymore, but the last few have slowly gone from being reasonably moderated to very "Just the facts-ish", where they only want on topic posts. And it isn't totally off topic stuff that gets them mad, it could be just adding a bit of history to a post or recommending they look at another forum for a sec, etc..... The quality of posters has dropped too among the newer guys, many get a bit SJWish when there's no call for it.

Almost all of the good strength forums are gone. Irongarmx, PowerandBulk, Lyle's Monkey Island group, OutlawPowerlifting, etc.... A lot of it is just guys aging out, but a lot of people also just can't handle an unmoderated forum. It's sad.

The "Why is Getbig So Boring" thread got me thinking a bit, and I realized that Getbig is the last place that truly covered Bodybuilding history warts and all from the late 90's - today. All the rest are gone. There is something to be said for that.

The unpolished history of bodybuilding gossip 1994 - 2020 comes down to essentially two things now, Getbig and the Misc.Fitness.Weights newsgroup archive (prime years 1994 - 2004 or so).

Enjoy it while we get it friends.

The other of the two forums I'm on also has the multi page rules and regulations and initial approval process on every post for new members.  In addition there's a new rules page added every year.  They heavily moderate every little thing on that forum as well.  Calling someone a fanboy will likely get you banned.  It's very amusing how benign the posts are that get people banned.  Your average Getbigger would be banned almost immediately from both of the forums. 

I'm going directly from these totalitarian regime forums to Getbig daily.  I really believe these other forums could learn so much be what Ron has created here.  I don't see these other forums changing and I don't see them generating enough traffic to even make it worth someones while to post there.

I find all these Getbig isn't as good as it used to be threads amusing because many who post here don't appreciate how good we have it.

What are your experiences on other forums?  Are you seeing the same thing?

You have other interests besides men in thongs?  What else is there?

getbig needs more bodybuilding related stuff..training, history. a bit of fun but some more content training related.

There are other parts of Getbig Boards that have that (I think 30 different boards). 

In terms of History, there is a whole subsection about the history of bodybuilding and experiences out there.



History - Stories - and Memories

Same with contest training, etc

Free Speech is important. However, certain words are just not allowed, nor is hatred of races.  You can argue over specific issues, which is discussion and debate, but blaming a race, religion, a type of person because of they way they look, sound, are - is pure racism, and I know that 95% of the people are not like that.  I hate the fact that certain people (of both spectrums) try to silence speech thinking we are all stupid.  But I also hate the people who are racists that actually think an entire group is like that. Which means they have no idea about the world. 


Very few other forums even allow ANY discussion at all about race.  I'm not convinced making a subject taboo helps the situation.  Getbig is one of the few forums that allows race to even be mentioned.

Compared to other forums, this is where i call home!


We have been one big family ever since the early 2000s!



Without Henda, Rob, Meister, FFrenzy, Vissy, ESF, Soul Crusher et al, i would probably go someplace else.

BUT - most important, this is a bodybuilding, fitness, supplement, expo board - and when there are contests, events, bodybuilding related items, those go first (hence, why many different boards) are on here.  But right now, current events and COVID-19 are eclipsing everything.

C'mon Ron, we all know racism is allowed on Getbig.

If you don't think calling black people chimps or subspecies is hatred of races, then you may have a twisted sense of what racism is.

As you are jockeying back and forth through these various forums, be sure to remember which one is which or you might mistakenly post a Getbig style post on one of the heavily moderated forums. Guess it wouldn't make much difference since you say they are boring and dead most of the time.

I'm painfully aware of this fact.  I never get too out of hand here, but on those forums I'm very cautious.  Threads are often locked for unknown reasons.

You can let your hair down more on Getbig and everyone has much thicker skin here.  The humor on here is also very apparent.   

I do think a forum needs to achieve a critical mass of users.  The traffic on Getbig is around the clock seven days a week, so it always seem like somethings going on.

Ron,

I'm a extremely intelligent person....I'm also very handsome.....stunningly handsome

That aside my suggestion to you is to get rid of all the subbredits and just do one boarding.

G and O is the only forum on this site that matters

Take care, comb your hair

Have to thank Big Ron again for the site. You can't find a website with any kind of traffic that isn't littered with ads. He never did it to us, and it's not like he couldn't have made some dough.

He didn't even take on ads to break even. Keeping the place up costs him money and he keeps footing the bill. It's extraordinary.

And the latitude he permits in the chatter here takes some balls. Most guys would have cut and run in this witchhunt era, or crushed it with overmoderation.

The cast of characters rolls over but the owner has consistently maintained its identity. There's no place like it, and the rest of the intermet could learn a thing or two from it.

Truth^

He's got balls and runs the joint how he wants, respect!

Over moderation and censorship is bullshit, ruins conversation and debate. Here you just roll with the punches, that's how it should be both here and in the real world.

Of course the real world is full of weak pussies now but that's another matter.

Indeed!


There is NO other forum that has this diverse type of members/characters on it!


We have the most extreme leftists mingling with some of the most upstanding righteous patriots and living together in harmony in this world of Getbig!

Gentlemen and Scholars together with the most foul soggy old feggets and coalfaced subhumans.

We have Boomers, Coomers, Doomers, Millenials, Generation X,Y,Z, Stimps, Limps, Stinketts and whatnot, more often than not agreeing with eachother.

This is unheard of on any other forum!

ONLY The Ronfather and GETBIG is able to have made this possible!
