Has MD ever had an "original" idea? (serious question)

[Livewire]

Just went on the MD boards (can't ban me forever, fools!) and theres a thread about Larry Pepe's move to the PBW group.  When someone mentioned it, Palumbo responds:
 
"We'll have a much bigger surprise than that..........Remember, we don't duplicate.......we originate!........."  D. Palumbo
 
When I read this, it got me thinking.  Has MD ever had an original (good) idea?
 
So let's go down the list:
 
1.  Bodybuilding.com revolutionizes the idea of a Bodybuidling mega-site with articles, videos, suppements, info, etc.  MD than tries to do the same.
 
2.  Now MD is trying to sell supps on their website (you guys are true pioneers)
 
3.  BB.com does the Fit Show, the first pro bodybuilding video series.  MD comes out with MDTV  (how original) 
 
4.  Weider starts signing athletes years ago.  (MD starts doing the same)
 
5.  PBW Radio gets created.  Becomes popular.  And than MD comes out with No Bull Radio.
 
6.  And just when you think "wannabe md" is finished, they sign Shawn "Weider Discard" Ray.  Another MD original
 
7. And than we have MD's obsession with trying to defeat GetBig, the original message board.  They become so obsessed with GetBig that they don't allow their people to post here. LOL.  Sadder than Blechman's diary.
 
 
Keep up the good work MD.  Can't wait to see more of those original ideas.  True "Originators".


MD = MOSTLY DUPLICATES

[Bluto]

this is getbig. who cares about other boards? maybe you should make up your mind where your loyalties are

[Stark]

haha I find it amusing that they don't allow their staff to post here Epic insecurity

[swilkins1984]

I posted a comment about MDTV and the fast contest picture uploading. Got deleted hmmmmm

[Jizzacked]

well, they are original in the sense that their staff is comprised mostly of habitual offenders.

a mag run by the "furious felons" is pretty original.

The delicious irony here is Jumbo Palumbo speaking of originality.

"Remember, we don't duplicate.......we originate!........."

All they do is copy ideas.

I don't understand why guys are members of multiple message boards - I've only ever been Getbig through and through from the day I discovered this shit.

There's nothing original about them, but you have to admire the sweat they put into trying to build a better mousetrap.

Good point, they are really sweaty over there.

So what if MD decides to jump on the bandwagon of supporting bodybuilding... they are doing a good job of it, NO?

[Livewire]

they are doing a good job of it, NO?

No.  Trannies and fart jokes = not the image for the sport we want.

Of course, you're angling for a MD contract or coverage, aren't ya, Sarah Dunlap?

I copy all of bodybuilding.com's great ideas that are feasible for me to copy.  It has brought my website a lot of success and turned it into a sort of mini BB.com.  Maybe 1-5% of the size and popularity.

This thread is calling out for a Top 10 list from Special Ed.

100% correct.  I was told my partner that he copied our Muscle Mafia concept because we didn't want him involved and started Muscle Mob.  Our original line is "Once you Start, you can never leave"  Dave put something like "Once you join, you can never leave" or something like that. 

[MAXX]

yeah real copycats over there.

i like some of the mdtv they do thats about it.

[rocket]

I think there is a lot of originality at MD.  Its all hilarious, classless nonsense but hey, give them credit, they've built themselves a circus.

Well myself and a friend.  www.musclemafia.com

I haven't been able to do much with it lately cause of a bigger project.  But we did just sign a deal with a distributor in Australia that will be distributing in there and New Zealand.  Been around for about 4 years or so.  It started off really good then he got doing something else and so did I.
