History of bb.com: Live video chat Friday 5-30-08 with the DeLuca brothers

[Ron]

Ok, here is the chance for us to chat with and talk to Ryan and Jeremy (President and Vice President) on how they built up Bodybuilding.com into the empire it is now. And any other decent questions you wish to ask.

I have know both Ryan and Jeremy ever since they were little kids (ok... maybe about 7 or 8 years now), and both are still down to earth and pretty cool. Check them out.

I will be chatting up and asking some questions too!

Matt C is going to be delighted!
Im looking forward to this.

[Blockhead]

 Cool! I hear that Chris Bell from the new documentary 'BIGGER STRONGER FASTER' is going to be on BIG NATION RADIO on Monday night.   

[G o a t b o y]

Can I ask them if they "arranged" to have Bob Chick "win" the Master's?

Can I ask them why Bob Chick claimed to be able to access our personal info?

Can I ask them why their site chooses to affiliate with a known racist like Matt C?

Can I ask them if the reason they chose not to webcast the NY Pro is because they knew it would suck ass and all the seats would be empty?

[michael arvilla]

How do the brothers feel about employing a Racist?

[Ex Coelis]

are they offering time shares at the end of the presentation?

[G o a t b o y]

are they offering time shares at the end of the presentation?

Yeah, but they're in Idaho, so I doubt anyone will be buying.

They don't employ Matt, but enough of his racist views. This is bodybuilding, not a propergando forum for him. He knows how I feel, and will honor it.

I am sorry, but Liberty already beat you to it.  It is a chance for people to meet the DeLuca's.

Bob won the show, and I am sorry you don't like that. They don't care who wins a show.  No, Bob cannot access your personal info.  They chose not to webcast the NY Pro because it wasn't feasible at the time. A webcast of a show costs over $30,000 minimum. A lot of money.

LOL, wanna buy some potatoes?

Asking questions, and being an idiot are two very seperate things. You know the difference. You ask an real question, get a real answer. You ask a question, then go mock everything, you become a troll.

You are welcome to ask the Ryan and Jeremy whatevery you want. They are both very cool guys with are down to earth.  And support bodybuilding tremendously, putting money into shows, and trying to give the best information, pics, news and more to the competing fans and the non-competing fans as well.

It's Great to see guys making the Big Dollars without having to Abuse Drugs in this industry.Smart very Smart.

[G o a t b o y]

No, Bob cannot access your personal info. 

I know that, which is why I found it odd that he claimed to be able to on a public board back when 240 had him melting down all over the place a few years ago.  I'm curious what the DeLucas think of this.

Well, Bob is a mod, and as such could look up an IP address or an email address.  That's about it, though.  (It's not like it's a SS# or home address or anything.)  LOL

No, not info on Getbig or bb.com boards.  He claimed he had access to everyone's bodybuilding.com customer accounts.

[bigdumbbell]

they could write of the 30,000 loss

[gh15]

Hmmm.  Perhaps it would be best for Bob to come into this thread and clarify what he meant and/or said.  Personally, it sounds like a little light-hearted joke to me.

Dumbass, he SAID IT HIMSELF.  I'm not wildly speculating...  this happened a couple of years ago before 240 became a pussy.  240 was pushing Bob's buttons about something, Bob was melting down, and he said something to the effect of "You probably don't even buy supplements. I can check your records at bodybuilding.com", and 240 challenged him on it, and he reiterated that he had access to customer records.  I think he even claimed to have a "piece of the company" or something like that.  240 probably has the original posts with the exact wording saved, but we had him melting down for weeks over those foot-in-mouth posts.

Bob already backtracked on this back when it happened.  It was obvious to all of us that a company like bb.com would not give a "sponsored athlete" access to anything like that, we called him on it, then after a day he claimed to have never said it, but 240 saved the post and re-posted his quote.  It was hilarious!

I never claimed any such thing.....get your story straight, douchbag

Really? By all means look it up and post it.....never happened.
