My 2 cents on the current state of the get big board

[MikeThaMachine]

In a nutshell the former Squad and posters of the Y have ruined Getbig, chased off the pros, experts and new folks that just wanna talk about bodybuilding in a stimulating, fun way.   The owning tone has ruined a once great bb resource.   There's no freedom to post pics as people get so horrendously flamed that they have no choice but to leave Getbig altogether.   In essence, if the former Squad and current Y board members were punished for their actions and/or forced off the board altogether the environment would once again become healthy and inviting for fun and stimulating conversations while still including just a touch of owning thrown in for good measure, correct?  Basically, everyone wants it to be 2005-2006 again on Getbig where things were fresh and new and everyone was equal.  No cliques, no clubs, no squads, no cool kids, no mock frats....none of that stuff basically.    Just want a casual environment in which grown adults and young kids alike can talk about their bb heroes, bb contests, diets, drugs, training and life in general while sharing pics of their development in a positive way that encourages people to want to continue posting on Getbig and draw others back to the board to reaffirm why we joined this board in the first place.

When the groups first started it wasn't so bad, some of their threads were very comical but after a while it was starting to get a little too much and all the newbs were trying to "get in" and be accepted by them. That's when it went downhill, everyone that wasn't an immature dick wad was pretty much driven away and all the immature dick wads stayed around and made this place a shithole. It's rare I meet anyone whose new that's worth talking to these days, I mostly only chat with guys I have been cool with for a year or more lately.

So, what do you suggest to change it?  Cause I'm very much a part of that group that has ruined things for everyone.....should I be banned, my account deleted and forced to start over with a clean slate?

Pretty much sums it all up, great post

[BayGBM]

there's a reason a lot of us don't post like we used to, although it's funny how many "legends" (much as i hate that term) i talk to off the boards and we all kind of agree that GB as a whole has gotten eaten up by the "owning" mentality.

really, the negativity is just stifling here. people are leary of posting pictures or saying something mildly against the crowd because there's a cabal of people who will go absolutely apeshit and next thing you know they can't post anywhere without getting flamed to hell and back.

even milos, chick, and shawn, who normally leap into the fray, have been AWOL. pros won't post here and we can't get any industry people to hang around because the environment is just retardedly toxic. i pop in periodically to see what's up and update my training log, but dammit it just ain't fun any more.

cue "meltdown", "oh brother", "calm down, gloria", "settle down, tiger", "it ain't that serious", etc.

Ditto.  It may be time to move on . . .

All the orignal Squad guys have seemed to get over that phase and moved on (but you guys still strike comedic gold at times) but it's the newer guys youv'e influenced to come here and be douchebags that's the main problem. They still think it's cool to gang rape members over mundain things and take it too far with the stalking and nonstop bashing of other guys. It's like when the Soviet Union disbanded and left all those countries to fend for themselves with no organization or structure and then most of them became complete assholes.

Certain people also litter the G&O forum with shit completely unrelated to bodybuilding. Sure it's okay to post something unrelated once in a while, but there are members constantly posting stupid shit that's totally unrelated to bodybuilding. And as others pointed out, there's also a huge tone of bitterness from certain posters. The former members of the Squad have toned down their posts, and most of them are actually very good posters. However, now there's these jealous anti-steroid types, youtube video posters, police brutality investigators and a bunch of other morons. They post shit off of the top of their head and put hardly any creativity into their topics or posts. They don't understand punchlines, nor sarcasm, and are generally too dumb to engage in any sort of debates without petty insults.

Despite all that, this is still a great place. I wont be pulling a Coach, and neither should you guys.

There are people posting in this thread who I never respond to. I don't have to interact with dickheads.

Ironically, this isn't one of the crap threads on Getbig so what does Howie think about that?

I chose Getbig to debate a serious training theory. I chose this forum and not the training one. It went for over 20 pages which wasn't bad but in the end it was a total waste of my time.

I chose this forum to show the world my biceps supinator machine. It is the only one in a gym on this planet. Predictably, many bagged me so I ended up removing all those photos and seldom post anything from my gym. I definitely won't post any images of my family on Getbig. The way some target an ex or family is just plain appalling. No one would say that shit to my face. But some come on this forum and think they can say anything they like. Most of these cowards are anonymous and have to stay that way.

That we have a resident netstalker in Goatboy reminds me of the grumpy troll who used to live in the garbage can on Sesame Street. I watched that show when my kids were growing up. This forum would be better if everyone were known and not hiding behind gimmick accounts. I mean, where in the heck do all these 'new' identities come from?

You never respond to me but even though I have insulted you and crap I have also said goods things about you outside of the "Lack of willpower" thread. One thing I never did is get into your personal life or take it above any level that most on here would find absurd yet you still ignore me all the time whenever I respond to something you have written. Why is this?

[Vince B]

Where are all the pros? Lee Priest gone. Milos mostly gone. Shawn on MD. No one is his right mind would post regularly on Getbig. Chick is a poor example of how pros should behave on Getbig. He attacks and insults everyone who doesn't agree with him. Anoint him as athletes rep.

Why on earth should attacking fat people be allowed on an internet discussion board? Ron is allowing some very ugly stuff here by not removing that shameful stuff. Just because some people are fat doesn't mean it is acceptable to bag them. I don't see that shit as being amusing. Bodybuilders should never bag how anyone else looks.

Just about every interesting threads ends up with insults being exchanged by various combatants.

I take my hat off to Melvin Goodrum. He posts as himself and debates with everyone. He is gay and is still posting here. Either the guy has no shame or he has a lot of nerve. We all remember how he bagged Derek Anthony for what he did on line.

[Master Blaster]

I like all the stupid, childish shit, sorry guys.   

Now Lightweight4Life on the other hand...it's scum like that that clog Ron's servers. they should get teh DELETE.
