If you hate bodybuilding why post on here?

Yeah HowieW's 10 new threads a day about drugs in bodybuilding were a real annoyance. Like firstly even if it was ONE thread a day, it'd be annoying, but then he made like nine more. Good riddance. Honestly pros look kickass, who wants to see a 200 lb pro? Not me, thats why i dont do any pro bashing, cuz they fuckin rule. No i wouldnt g4p them but i can still be a fan of bbing right?

He he is really annoying and I wish his threads would get deleted most times but he isn't a bad guy and there is no need to do that kind of shit to him. But yes on the plus side at least we don't need to see his threads for a while.

So lets turn getbig into bb.com or musclemayhem? no thanks.

My thoughts exactly.

[bigdumbbell]

Howie hated bodybuilding too.  No big loss there.  Oh and that was the second time the pedo stuff had come up and it's the only thing that makes him shut up so there's something to it.   

what's the allegation generally speaking? 

[Camel Jockey]

I fully agree that it isn't right to bash people right and left, or take shit too seriously by sending threatening pms and calling their employer. I only bash people who ask for it; people like candizzle, tamali and others. There's a fine line between being critical of someone, and baselessly attacking them. I think most here will attack someone for no reason because they are trying to be like Squadfather or seem like an old timer.

Atleast HowieW's threads are of critical thought. I personally find Stark's steroid bashing threads a lot more annoying because he'll never engage someone in actual debate backed up by facts or references. He'll just make simple assumptions and use them for the base of his anti-steroid bs.   And when someone counters, he'll start another thread.

Another problem with this forum is that the server is fucking slow.

Many brout the howieW incident so im just gonna leave here a very small answer and after that i dont want more questions since ron dont want what he call "negative bodybuilding" here. I told howiew to prove the email was faked, how? Easy, use the password recovery system so he could get into his old acct again and unhide the email he never had hidden until i started all of this. but he refused. Ron told me "the email is right" and to not continue with this because they are friends so...fair enough, if you are friend = you get the cover. Im just saying, dont be fooled by such low class lie "i forgot my pass and theres no way to retrieve it", do the right math and play with yourself as if you forget your pass and use the password recovery system

I agree with cj that the biggest problem is the "hand on tight" thingie

Yeah, the slow server is probably hurting this forum more than anything else.

Adonis called HR at my workplace trying to get me in trouble. This is where the line is being crossed.

Call me fat all day.... but taking it beyond this place is fucking sick.

When I first started reading this site about 6 years ago, not posting, it just seemed like there was a lot more to talk about that was directly related to bodybuilding.  You had the titus/kamali feud, the time Jay should have beat Ronnie, Cormier and Levronne still doing their thing, the emergence of dexter as a true force for the smaller guys, the year Ronnie gave us that "not from this planet look", Lee being Lee, etc, etc.

After that bodybuilding starting getting bad with the pregnant bellies and people winning shows who shouldnt have won, turned people off to the "sport" and hence the start of all the shit talking and bashing on here.

Now I think it will really go back to positives on bodybuilding, the Heath/Wolf feud has the potential to re-ignite the passion so to speak, through in Kai and alot of the pleasing looking young guys, Curry, Lewis,
Centopani, etc and you have a buzz about bodybuilding again.

Good mix of shit talking and excitement for bodybuilding = Getbig success

Goatboy already explained this.  We are not all bodybuilders, but just people who follow bodybuilding principles to some extent in our training and diets and just wish to improve our physiques to some degree.  That doesn't mean we want to be bodybuilders.  It just so happens that bodybuilding message boards allow us to meet many people with similar goals and interests.  That doesn't mean we condone or admire the excesses in the industry.

Where else do you propose we go online to meet people with similar interests, if not bodybuilding boards?

Outstanding. You should post more often.

Start a board where all you talk about is workout routines, diets, and progress.  Leave competative bodybuilding out of it.   I'd be curious to see how well it does.

All you said is true but you're missing the point;

Stalking posters outside of getbig or bodybuilding has nothing to do with "meeting people with similar interests".

[dr.chimps]

Everyone that ever registered on this site came here because at one point they loved (or still do love) bb.   At some point some of us (myself included) were exposed to the darker, seedier side of bb and slowly began losing some interest.  Although, by the time that occurred we had invested a lot of time on this site, got to know others members and enjoyed others things the site had to offer outside of the realm of bb.  For some they're still 100% bb enthusiasts and for others they used to be 100% and now they're a little or a lot less interested, but still log in often for a laugh, catch up on gossip, get a show result, etc....this board has plenty of other boards for the diehard bb fanatics....the rest is constantly evolving....some like it, some don't.  Traffic goes up and down....has before me and will again......done and done.

Go to the head of the class. Got me in one.

True, people like that really go overboard.  Generally speaking, I think more freedom of speech is better than less, but some do go too far.

As Camel Jockey pointed out, server issues are probably contributed more to board decline than any other factor - probably much more honestly.  I bet if the server was solid, we would not even be having this discussion.

[McFarland]

Where did the idea originate that Getbig is going downhill anyway?  I don't even know where that's coming from. 

[gordiano]

AHAHAAHAH!!! I love how everyone avoids my first post.

Yep. Happens to me all the time as well. Then, an hour later, I'm asked why I post here....


Btw, excellent post.

[gordiano]

I agree.  Ball busting is fun to do on here--as long as it stays on here.  When it spills over into real life, the people involved need to re-examine their priorities and get some serious psychiatric health.

Thank you.

I can't believe the shit people do, or how seriously they take things.


There's a line I won't cross.......

[The Squadfather]

there's nothing wrong with the board the way it is, matter of fact i'd wager to bet that getbig is more popular than it's ever been.

A lot of whiners on here complaining about all the whining complainers.

You have already crossed it many times.

Care to expand?

[Man of Steel]

I liked it when people talked about bodybuilding and there was only 240, squad, mars,yourself and a few other that were making jokes and bashing people

now everybody thinks they are a comedian

Now that I agree with 100%....what's that saying "too many cooks ruin the pot"?

[Nordic Beast]

its just another schtick theme Alex is riding until he switches gears and goes on another crusade

I like Alex and believe he is a noble warlord and a valuable asset to getbig but he is a little hypocritical in the sense that he has contributed to some of the most brutal "ownings" in the history of getbig and has influenced the influx and popularity of shit talking and owning.

Remember he did form the "wrecking crew" and other various movements that had nothing to do with BBing and more to do with the very thing he now says plagues Getbig and will be its downfall.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

I post here because I can. I could care less about fitness or bbing.

[AZbodybuilder]

This site pretty much sucks, all it is a place to bash, the negitivity gets old. There is some entertianment here but for the most part it sucks.
