  This post is outstanding, and so true. The impression I have from this board is that only 5% of posters here are genuine bodybuilding fans, and they are mostly concentrated on Dorian vs Ronnie debates.
well, if you mean a fan of the actual sport of bodybuilding then i'm one, but ALL of my favs come from the 70's before the big guts :-[ yeah, my idol is the so-called swimmer... Frank Zane

  Waht is your opinion on the Dorian vs Ronnie debates, which have been going on for 3 years in this board between the posters Hulkster, Suckmymuscle, Pumpster NarcissisticDeity? These four must have written literally 3 000 pages on the subject.

yeah, i'm quite aware of that ::) i guess maybe the early 90's weren't so bad... from this time i liked gary strydom, but he really lacked a "cobra" back :'( but, in my opinion, he had pretty much every thing else... delts, pecs, arms, legs

I'm fairly good at tuning out to the nonsense on getbig, I almost always skip all three of these discussions mentioned.  I seriously have no clue where this hate for stark has originated. :)

All I'm saying is you failed to innovate with your chosen gimmickry.  Fair enough, you're going to talk shit about Nasser.  You never took it anywhere, you made the same post a thousand times.  Thus, it is fair to say, you have no room to talk regarding originality.   Strange really, because duchaine has a reasonably high opinion of you which means you must be capable of wit ??? 

If you can filter past it all, then you'll find that my opinions on certain social and economic issues are of thought.

I've had an idea for a year...

Bring back the guest feature...
Every sunday from 10 pm to 1 AM, EST.

Watch the traffic skyrocket for that period, as people can post creative things, insider gossip, truths and lies, and speak their mind without being feared of retribution.  Getbig has become a bit corporate, there is no denying that.  Bring back the chaos one night a week.

You obviously don't know what "corporate" means.

Can't be bothered.

I was a lurker for a good year before i started posting. So i used to see the glory  years of 240 owning chic and whatnot.

Me too. For awhile there, I would just surf this site and read the threads - no posts. Then I took the plunge, and the birth of Pollux arrived.  :)

Like someone else said, it is 2-6 unemployed guys /kids posting
70% of the posts on GB under several gimmicks using all their time awake
doing it.

None of them trains, they are unintelligent and boring and they believe insults=owning.
Hense the decline since 2004

 I have to agree, this site has gone downhill. It will some day be resurrected in its full glory, but perhaps not any time soon  :-\
