where do you think your clientele comes from? where do you think they post and hear about you?
that's right, here (message boards).
the way you present yourself (or who you choose to represent you) has a lot of bearing on customer gain/retention.

If you believe for one minute that the handful of idiots here on Getbig, who constantly talk down about BB, mock out pro's, post photoshopped pictures, and spend countless hours making fun of the very sport this site is about....actually are paying customers, you're in fantasyland.
There are some good people here, but they move on quickly, as thee fools make it impossible to talk about bb, and ruin it for everyone else.

Dude, halo's CRAAAAAZY pure rage man.. that's why Tyson used to be so crazy back in the day, bastard was eating handful's of halo before his fights !!
sidenote; you're pretty right on with the dosage of test, I have a copy of one of Dorian's pre-contest cycles where he was ramming something like 3,500mg's of prop a week not to mention like 40 halo's a day.
-
40 halo's a day.
holy fuck man..
i took 2 once and 30 mins later i had a mofo of a headache..
however i trained thru it and i swear i had veins standing out everywhere and that ws only 10 mgs
....
then i tried 50 mgs once..i thought my head ws gonna crack.it gave me headaches..
so i gave it all away.. :-\ 5 mg pills.

Agreed. Many, many come from the boards, but there are many who want to come here and get serious information, not just dumb attacks on each thread from people who really don't care about bodybuilding.
-
Some "experts and pros" at getbig think they're BBing royalty. In reality, they're just
like the rest of us, scrambling for that same nickel and trying to stay alive.
People here know when they're being talked down to. Blanket statements like "your idiots"
and "place full of retards" do not lead to sales or excited customers.

240, I hope you make out of those trailers someday, and into a mansion full of love and care!

i wonder when bob will put his money where his mouth is and actually stop posting, he hasnt kept his resolution very well so far

You are correct - statement like those were wrong. But it is easy to be provoked from a handful of people, who tend to overpower the boards. There are a lot more peopel reading than posting, and when they see these, they get turned off, or email saying why does this guy post that stuff.
But they are expert and pros because, for the most part, they have proven to be adept at information, and quality of posts. Do they slip up - oh hell yes - we all do. That is part of life.

Chick, you can believe whatever you want. But I am one of the people who actually buys from internet sites. Stores in my area (GNC, etc.,) cannot compete with the prices offered on the net.

Your thoughts are more along these lines:
"You looking mighty fine in them trunks, Bob."

So, when does "To the fools...don't bother. Post what you want, you'll get nothing in return. I refuse to acknowledge your existence" officially kick in?
-
I do appreciate all the support I receive here on GetBig. I make an effort not to advertise too much, but you're right, I should say 'thank you' more often.
Thanks, Ron and the rest of the GetBig Nation!
:D

Great prices and reasonably fast shipping. Of course according to Chick I don't really know that because I've never bought from them before.
Of the course my tub of Creatine, Glutamine and my new belt tell a different story but why let facts get in the way.

man, and here i am spending my hard earned money each month at both bodybuilding.com and the vitamin shoppe like a chump...i either need to spend less money or hang out here less...
-
I don't think anyone is bashing getbig.com
I know that Ron and I get along great. I generate a lot of content for his board, and I am a part of a group of steady posters who have contributed to the growth of this place over the last several years.
For anyone who's seen the VIP board- the "Utopia" of BBing boards- that place is downright BORING! Somebody posts a token topic, everyone gets "seen" and plays nice, and the thread dies. There are like 10 threads total, and not one chuckle or laugh to be had. It was like reading homework.
There's a reason getbig is the best board out there. It's like recess. It's fun. There are groups who run wild, there are groups who stand next to the teacher and throw compliments. But the far larger group is the one who just enjoys sitting back and watching it all go down. It's fun :)
-
you!
You!

Where is the link to this board?

Where is the link to this board?
It's hidden. The only people who can see it are pros/experts/special guests/ competitors.
I was given the gift of a sneak peek, and to be honest, there wasn't anything good in there. Just boring "Great win, Bob" and "Ignore those internet haters" and a lot of "it's so nice to be in a positive place".
The place had traffic week one, and now it's just dead.

Ah, I see, so the discussion of the 50k has been taken down?
-
it wasn't directed solely at you Rob..................
(i include myself as well,i have made a couple of bucks off of my website,not much mind you lol)
it's because of Ron and GET-BIG that my site has even been seen ............
gives me (and Laura) an outlet to view/express what we like in the BB/fitness world
other sites are dead...............topic s never change
people never post
like ghostowns
.............i know i be bummed if this site got shut down
so..............i guess I'm just thanking Ron
( i certainly would not disrespect him and call him names/post pics of him etc etc)
Get-Big is a privilege............... not a Right
-
Ah, I see, so the discussion of the 50k has been taken down?
No, it's still there. It's just a ghost town. Cutler called out Bob, who did some defensive posturing, then everyone stopped to save face.
i think that might be the problem with BBing. Most of the people in positions of power are so concerned with "being friends" with everyone that no one will really step up and give the complacent masses a swift kick in the pants to make some changes happen.

Cutler called out Chick? That must have been interesting.

Yeah, what was that about? I'd like to hear...
-
Someone reposted it here, but it was deleted, I think. Wasn't that big a deal- Bob suggested a $50K prize for audience applause- a fan favorite. Cutler said "That idea sucks, Bob". The place got quiet, as no one has ever stood up to Bob. People started playing nice. Lee posted it here in the main board. Bob responded to lee by saying he didn't want that post in the "peanut gallery". That is what started all the peanut talk. Bob responded to that by not accuign 99% of GB of being real fans, and he defined real fans as those who attend shows and buy from BBing.com. He then called me out, saying he could check sales records to see if I shop there, and he could see "a whole lot more". Many getbiggers freaked out, wondering if Bob had access to sales records. You know the rest. BBing.com staff assured us their info was safe. End story.

Now that you think of it, 50,000 could be spent in better places. Maybe getting on cable network?
-
$50k could help a lot with bringing up the production value of the webcast. Hell, I know most of us would be willing to sit thru a few commercials on the webcast for near-tv quality.
-
I bough some supplements online from bb.com once.. they made me pay for shipping twice! so 21 bux just to get it here! :-\ Never went back there!
-
The place had traffic week one, and now it's just dead.
Actually, there wasn't much traffic at all in the beginning.
Things have really picked up lately, as you might imagine.

I remember the thread, I didn't know that Cutler said anything to Chick though.
I find it funny that no one would stand up to Chick. Why? I'm trying to see why he should garner such respect.
Truth be told Cutler should look at Chick like Chick looks at us. Cutler and Chick are light years apart as far as bodybuilding is concerned.
-
Also, if ppl thought the results of the Masters were controversial, imagine what would happen if an athlete won $50,000 over another guy in a disputed "Scream-O-Meter", or in fan judging handled by BBing.com :)
Just waaaay too much room for shadiness.

bob i spend alot of my hard earned money at bodybuilding.com...so there are a few of us on this board here that dont just read to bitch and way our e-penises in the air. BUT i think you're a very controversial person and for advertising purposes,etc. you do a good job....why? you draw alot of attention...and isn't that what a companies ad money is supposed to do? i'm not gonna rant...
and send me a pm i've got something you might wanna see on another site...
-

Agreed. Also, why isn't any of these shows on the Fit Channel. I know at home we have Time Warner and they carry this Fit Channel.

Cutler also wouldn't get involved in internet squabbles

Yup, this me in a nutshell. The shellacking you gave Bob, wholly deserved, was a pleasure to see unfold (as are some of the petards you hoist on yourself ;). But the masses will always need the services of a good 'muck-raker' (here in Canada we call it a 'shit disturber') to keep people honest.

Wow! You give the phrase 'Self-delusion' a new meaning dude - You generate content and you have CONTRIBUTED TO THE GROWTH of this place? ROFLMAO. Mate, give this a try - delete your account and stop posting and see how many people give a f*ck.
The only thing you do over and over is prove you have a big mouth and an even bigger beef against pro bodybuilders. This is a forum where most (normal) people post for fun every now and then. Only guys like you who do nothing but post all day, everyday lose track of reality and think you are indispensible and that what is said here is the only thing that counts. And don't give me that crap about you posting while your are working - you can only do one or the other, unless you are able to violate the laws of physics.
FYI, and like Ron says, there are more people who read this forum than post in it. I myself (here in Auckland) know at least 30 people who follow this forum regularly and don't post (and I am not even social or know a lot of people). There are as many opinions here as there are members and the real world is much, much bigger. You want to have a laugh or two or even have a crack at others, that's fine, its your business. But please stop posting shit like you have contributed to the growth of this place. This forum is popular for 2 reasons - not just because everyone is free to say what they wish (except M eltdown ;D), but equally because there are a lot of bodybuilders and industry insiders who post regularly.

And don't give me that crap about you posting while your are working - you can only do one or the other,

I can understand if you do that or even do something like work in a call centre or something where you get paid to sit around (at least, for a part of the shift). But 240 is a web designer

Yessir. And I tell ya, my day is a series of cycles. I spend 30 to 45 intense minutes designing. I crank some chemical bros or godsmack and forget anything exists except the site. I cut, paste, draw, I must have 20 windows open at once, i have a notepad, my books, and other tools around me. Then I take a break. Get a drink, check MSNBC, check getbig. Spend 10 minutes reading the news thinking of opportunities. pet my cat. Do a chore or two. THen, check my email and get back to work.
And I do this from 10 am til 2 am most days, stopping to see my woman for a few hours and to hit the gym.
So I"m probably doing at least 8 hours of intense work each day. It's just spaced out to preserve sanity.

What about MC Hammer?

He doesn't like the MC part, he's just known as Hammer now. Either way "you can't touch this".

I like 240, too, but feel he was out of line on this one. I'll chock it up to youthful exuberance.

I can vouch for 240's ability to get work done in an effective and very efficient manner. His posting frequency doesn't seem to slow down his work at all.

All plausible except the Gym part...who do you think your kidding

thanks man!
and yeah, i probably would have not pushed it, but I remember a few times where Chick has posted lines like 'go back to making your cheap $300 websites and let us real businessmen talk', etc. That kinda talk does make it real life, for me at least, when he criticizes my work, as he's a pro and ppl listen to him.
-
I agree with you tre...sometimes he's spot on...and sometimes he's an assbag...
the post seemed to be more inflammitory than it was to be just useful customer feedback...but i think he'd kick bob chick in the face if he thought he coudl get away with it just for spite...but eh...can't make everyone happy... and that's what people in the industry need to learn.

All plausible except the Gym part...who do you think your kidding

Niceracq, I was 120 pounds at the tender age of 25. If you think I got up to 200+ while staying the same bodyfat WITHOUT hitting the gym, PLEASE tell me how it's done. :)
Luckily, whether I'm at the university, my home, or the pseudo-office I have set up at a local business, I have a gym within 5 minutes of each. So I can always stop in for 45 minutes and do some heavy compound movements, even if the rest of the day is packed.
Plus, the nerd that I am, I usually have a flash or PHP book to read on the treadmill or between sets of squats :)

My first reaction when reading this thread is: "Y'all take this junk waaay too seriously." Although, I value Getbig as it's a part of my life now, I respect Ron for allowing us to act the way we do (occassional discipline occurs, but it's cool), if some members have been able to make a buck or two because of exposure on Getbig I think that's great (for those in that category you owe Ron a debt of gratitude at minimum). Regardless, there are too many people that can't seperate reality from the bullshit. Yes, we have an Owning Squad, constant mudslinging and endless ribbing, dirty humor, an X-board breakfast club, gimmick accounts, a ton of colorful characters, religious and political debates, scandals, sex and of course bodybuilding (the only reason any of us sought out a board like this in the first place). Granted some of us are much more dedicated to the sport and pursuit of bb, but all of us are most definitely fans of bb...that's why we're here. I've been a member of this board since mid-2004 and I've never sent a complaint to a mod, a complaint to Ron, a negative PM to another member, I been relentlessly insulted and I've relentlessly insulted others, etc...I can't control someone's else negativity, but I certainly can control my own. Now I'll slam almost every noob on this board simply to test their mettle....in the end of all that ribbing most of us are totally cool with each other. Still, others push the envelope and attack the pro reps in the bb business, but so what if they do.....why can't we question and test those that represent bb. Eh, all the endless debates over whose right and wrong, all the hurt feelings and all that mess is just bullshit.
People, just enjoy the board and quit acting like a bunch of whiny, bonesacked tits and twats! Oh brother!!

Just judging from your photos...
A word of advice once you loaded up the bar, take two steps closer to it and then lift. It is much more beneficial lifting the actual bar instead of pretending in the mirrors.
-
Wow! Is that a little humor I see? I'm impressed!
Thanks, I'm rather proud of myself as well.
And what about you, I see there wasn't even one mention of Jesus in your post. Good job.

So your lack of a Jesus post was forced by the Mods? I take back my "good job" from the earlier post.

Agreed. Also, why isn't any of these shows on the Fit Channel. I know at home we have Time Warner and they carry this Fit Channel.
I suggested the same thing yesterday. Fit TV has exercise programs running all day and would seem like a natural fit for bodybuilding. It's available on most cable providers and would be a good way for the IFBB to attract new fans.

gayer than first place in a philadephia pole-greasing contest

Bob has made some mistakes....
but I think some of you guys are being a little tough on him.
Personally as a side note...I am not too sure if I will ever buy anything from BB.com again.

Sir Willy are you sayin that my post was gayer than a musclebear footlong hotdog eating contest at the YMCA?
-
I can understand if you do that or even do something like work in a call centre or something where you get paid to sit around (at least, for a part of the shift). But 240 is a web designer
i'm a CCNP instructor..soo unless i get dumbfuck corporate people coming in i get to sit around for 5 hrs out of the 10 i teach/day
right now the class has a bunch of feds soo they r pretty smart guys....today i've actually only done 3 hours worth of work! ;D

Actually, a tad bit more. About as gay a Chia-pet gerbil with rainbow sprouts.
-
And don't give me that crap about you posting while your are working - you can only do one or the other, unless you are able to violate the laws of physics.
actually, it is pretty easy to do. i am working right now. i am an outside rep so i spend most of my day cold calling potential customers and sending emails. so i am on the computer all day doing work. right now i am on a call and writing this at the same time. not impossible to do.

attn:
bb.com, vince goodrum, 1fast400, hell.... lift studios, tre....
where do you think your clientele comes from? where do you think they post and hear about you?
that's right, here (message boards).
the way you present yourself (or who you choose to represent you) has a lot of bearing on customer gain/retention.

actually, you're close but it was a little gayer. it was as gay as chris dickerson riding an oiled up slip n slide in derek anthony's backyard during his monthly all-male "Pulled Pork and Big Sausage" barbeque party!

For me, it is not the bodybuilder that endorses the supplement site that makes me decide where I buy my supplements . Its about the type and quality of supplements and who offers them at a better and cost effective price.
Sure, I have favorite bodybuilders but I dont purchase supplements directly from their sites for the fact that I find other sites have the same supplements for a better price.
I price compare and usually either shop at 1fast400 or muscleshoppe for my supplements.
The owners of the supplements sites (Mike McCandles of 1fast400.com, Deluca of Bodybuilding.com, Labrada.. just to name a few) have their own opinions but their opinions does not dictate where I purchase my supplements from.
It all comes down to the price and quality and effectiveness of the supplements for me....not because a bodybuilder endorses it...

AAHAHHA!!! That's pretty fuggin gay right there!!

Cutler called out Chick? That must have been interesting.
He didn't. He said his idea about the 50 grand "sucks", suggested alternatives, and went on to say he thinks Bob is doing a good job as athletes rep.

haha. Pretty much. Gayer then a naked transvestite driving through San Francisco in a convertible Miata with a window banner that says "TOP DOWN, ASS UP"
-
It's hidden. The only people who can see it are pros/experts/special guests/ competitors.
I was given the gift of a sneak peek, and to be honest, there wasn't anything good in there. Just boring "Great win, Bob" and "Ignore those internet haters" and a lot of "it's so nice to be in a positive place".
The place had traffic week one, and now it's just dead.
The grass is always greener on the other side ;D

Ah, Ronnie will fall this year.
P.S. Have you seen his tricep?

Lets Play Politics Boys and Girls Insider XYZ style.
So IF Ronnie does fall it won't be to Jay. The IFBB is going to fight the PDI on its on ground and have a Mr Olympia without the gut. Dexter Jackson will be your next Mr. O because he is what the PDI is looking for in its top athletes. I mean the IFBB is all about stopping the PDI isn't it?
::) ::) ::) ::)

It looks bad, but Dorian won with an injured arm so we will see.

Ronnie's tricep seems to have much more of an effect. Plus, I'll go with 240's prediction and say Ronnie doesn't do the Olympia.

Like many before us, we shall be criticized for our beliefs. But they doubted on a man once who walked on water. Some people are blind to what is in front of them.

I agree 240, but do you think the IFBB will play politics and swing Dexter around as the new champ?!

I'd put dex as a 3 to 2 underdog-
His shape is better, but there will likely be an agreement to giftwrap it for jay for 2 years in exchange for a guarantee he won't rock the BBing world and jumped to Wayne's World.
Also, the racial patterns say the IFBB wants a white Mr O next. Sad, but monetarily and statistically true.

Great analysis! I take it there will officially be no bet?

Oh, if coleman's still in it 1 month out, I'll still take him for $100 :-)
I put more faith in the IFBB plugging along with blinders on. If they were smart, they'd give the O to a super ripped Ronny Rockel or a good Branch. But they're not.

now i'll wait till they get rid of chick and get Lee or someone credible on board..hey Milos..he's a pretty straight up dood..or that rhino dood..either one.
i'm willing to pay more( a LOT more actually) to a site that endorses a bb i like
i dont like chick anymore..
his behaviour is unacceptable.
DPSNutrition.com has lower prices and better customer service anyway. Idon't know anybody would shop at BB.com - especially with an athlete repping them that calls us morons...
