Numberswise it's not even close. It happens to be my favorite though.

GetBig is #1, hands down.

MUSCLEMAYHEM used to be good, until they banned everyone with an opinion, and most jumped shipped here.

bodybuilding.com annihilates everyone else in terms of sheer traffic and users. it's big enough that it's amongst the most popular web forums on the internet. which is the best depends on your opinion. i think of bb.com as the informative one, mayhem as the calm one which is kind of ironic, and getbig as the amusement park.

yeah but you have to take into consideration all the other shit that bb.com has that draws people, i'm sure their store accounts for over half of their traffic, in terms of just board popularity i'm sure getbig is more popular.

Getbig is the best, no arguments there.

well today bb.com's teen bodybuilding section has 1,161,854 posts logged compared to g&o's 142416, but i don't know how far back each goes. their supplement section has 1.6 million and the misc section has almost three. getbig has 583 guests on right now and 171 members, bb.com has 591 members and 1466 guests. over 300,000 total members to getbig's just uner 14,000.
even if the traffic noted is counting their store, the forums are still far and away more popular than any other in the bodybuilding or even weightlifting scene. i'm almost certain they have the biggest athletic-based board on the internet. of course i don't have an account there, i just read, so that should tell you which i enjoy participating in more. ;D

No Getbig is not - is is a small niche in a small community. Never proclaim to be the biggest, but always try to have some fun here. It does have its unique settings though, as do others.

to be fair, bbd's videos are all over the place. it's hard to find a video of a contest or a preview for a pro video that wasn't made over there. even if the forum itself isn't doing so well, rob's really done some great work that's spread all over and he's only 19.

GETBIG sucks....
but I still love coming here.. ;D

so wake the f**k up peanuts ;)

GB = niche. aggressive, abrasive people, and those who like to watch that type.
You get a few kissups here, and of course, a few pros that want lovin'.

I started out on bb.com but found out about this and started coming here, more news and personality.

I cannot imagine a board being more informative about the 'scene' than this one. There was a time when Mayhem had the potential to be, but the censorship was a little heavy-handed at times (there were highs and lows of that). I don't get to visit that often anymore, though, so maybe it's changed. I did always feel Mayhem had the most serious bodybuilders, however, and would suspect that's probably still the case. If you want a hardcore bodybuilding conversation, I'd give Mayhem highest marks for that.
I don't know their site very well, but I'd bet money that the vast majority of bodybuilding.com's traffic is there to buy supplements in their online store.
More traffic typically means a higher Alexa rating, but the formula is pretty complex. My site used to be in the mid-80s (83,000 or so), but now I'm close to 150,000. My internet ranking has dropped significantly, even though my daily visits have increased over the same period.

There was a thread like this on MM a couple years back. All the sheep couldn't believe they weren't number 1

bb.com, for the most part, has nonstop supplement talk often from the creators themselves, their training forums are incredibly helpful and they're just as on top of contests as here. if you're coming to getbig to learn, while you can learn a lot you aren't going to get the wealth of info bb.com has. mayhem has infrequent threads that really show a lot, but it's a slow board in general.

BB.com also has Layne Norton,who is very educated about the scientific aspects of bodybuilding.

I agree, many people hate on Layne, but he knows his stuff and has definitely done his homework.
-

funny thing is typos that I've entered on my site have shown up on theirs. but they're not alone.
-
I usually on just two boards (not including my own) Getbig and T-Nation. Mostly Getbig.....obviously!!
-
elitefitness must get some serious traffic although sucks as far as pro bodybuilding goes...
-
no offense to Bob, but he needs to stop starting fights with people more intelligent than him
So bob needs to stop starting fights altogether ??
-

LOL.. OWNED
-
LOL!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha.
Well, you know what I mean. ;)
He really looks silly arguing with people like 240 and Layne. Say what you will about either of them, but they are both super intelligent people. I'm not saying Bob is dumb or anything, but both of them would definitely win in an academic debate, just as Bob would win in a bodybuilding show. Point is: they should all do what they're good at and not try to be something they are not.
Yup, tried telling Bob this - ie. starting an online argument with people who are both witty (and that takes smarts) and good computer skills (graphics, etc.) would be a mistake for a man of his (limited) intelligence and temperament. He ignored my friendly advice and what followed was self-fulfilling and entertaining.
-
I like Bob, honnestly.
I think those little debates are funny and they would be better if he could take some critism.
In example: When people talk about Bob's win at the master. I understand he can get angry if everybody start saying he looked like shit and it was a fix.
HOWEVER, he still get angry if we say constructive critism like: Bob has been way harder, he was a little fat from the back.
IMO, Bob deserved the win. but he can't even admit that he was off, and he know he was. Wheeler gave constuctive comments and bob said: Well that is the reason why flex is a photographer and not a judge.
WTF ???
I am sure a legend of bbing who competed for 10 years in the pro can't judge a physique.
Those 80 years old Dunkin Donuts addicted must know bbing more than Flex ::)

Getbig is number one without doubt.
ALL the pro's that post here are awesome athletes...it seems half of you forget what they've achieved to get where they are, male and female...and this IS a Bodybuilding board remember.

Nah, its more like board for those us with a common interest in BB who want to be informed and be entertained and be allowed to spout off. If I just wanted info. I'd go to one of those other sites, be bored and probably shoot myself. ;D

Have you checked out any of the other boards on getbig...training and nutrition...the steroid board...powerlifting??
We have some of the most knowledgable guys/girls in the biz posting/moderating here, you're just speaking about the g&o and the xyz etc.
-
Common, are shitting me, Getbig is the best fucking BB site outthere, why? FREEDOM, FREEDOM FREEDOM, I FUCKING LOVE IT
-
the three most active boards on getbig are g&o, the sex board, and member pics. this isn't a board for people to learn the ropes about bodybuilding, it's a place for people who have an interest in bodybuilding to be amused and if help is needed can get a little. bb.com has a miscellaneous board but no 'general' one, so if you're on that board chances are you're in a section devoted to something information-based.
there are damn smart people here no doubt about that, but the sheer number of posters on bb.com keeps things moving faster and just makes it generally a better resource. it's the encyclopedia to the magazine that is getbig. you can get more information out of the former, but the mag has good info too, and which is more fun to read? 8)
