Title: What were the Old Days of Getbig like?
Post by: ieffinhatecardio on June 21, 2006, 02:45:44 PM

I was reading the "Tom Prince" thread and I came across this post.

He and King were BRUTAL on here in the "old" days. I never registered while they did their thing, but it was sickening, both the arrogance and the ugliness they brought to this board. I wish neither one harm for sure, but, he and some of his "cohorts" on here continue to alienate their "fans" by talking about maintaining some illusionary weight and insinuating the uniqueness of their genetic endowments. It isn't true, and if he were the "bigger man", he would use this situation to give back to the sport through education and humility in my  opinion. :)

How bad were the old days? How bad were Kamali's and Prince's posts? Is there any archives of the old threads?

If they were as bad as the above post says they were things have changed drastically. Kamali is essentially a punch line now on here and Prince doesn't post but his friends continue to boast that he ways a muscular 230 lbs. when pictures clearly show he weighs much less than 200 lbs and is ill.

I thought the old days were much tamer on here. There was no Sarcasm or people like that. Back then the Iron Agers were here. King would call a lot of people bucktooth jackasses and wish AIDs on people he didn't like. He's always been an idiot, but at least back then he wasn't a crybaby.

I wonder if bogus lawsuit threats were commonplace back then.

That thread on Mayhem wasn't that bad. Yeah Prince came off as a pompous and condescending asshole but there were only a few posts from Prince.

I expected it to be a lot worse.

This post pretty well says it all:

Tom was full of bad attitude and strawman attacks.  Notice how KINGSIZE said NOTHING AT ALL about "steroids making a pro a pro" yet Tom formed an argument for him just to bash him.  Not to mention other mayhem members jumped in to defend Tom!

Does Chad not realize what this does to the credibility of his board?

Here is a relatively new Tom Prince podcast on mayhem:

Sued.

Kingsize openly bashed TP on another forum...(not here)
