One of the most fun and interesting things about getbig is when members post pictures of themselves. Of course there will always be some flaming involved and things of that nature, but it is to the point that it almost causes people to not post pictures again.
Take guys like alnassak... he posts pics, and get hit HARD. regardless of what everyone says his attitude is, he had the balls to post pics. more than most of getbig can say. it is the same for a lot of others here. if they throw up pics, there is a 20 page thread of beat downs which just causes them to leave, or not post again.
I enjoy a little bit of joking and putdowns as well, but there needs to be some commonsense about it. if you take it too far, then there wont be people to flame b/c they wont post a pic. already this happens...most of getbig leaves behind their screen, knowing they can never post a pic for fear of losing all getbig credibility. these are usually the worst flamers too...which is pathetic...
Every few months someone posts something like this. Everything you just said is never going to happen and you are going to get ripped in this thread. If you want what you outlined in your book, you have to go to a board like MD or Mayham. What you described is what makes getbig - getbig.
The board is not ruined.....it's been growing for years. I love how you have 600 posts and think you know how things should be done, lol.
