So is Isaac Hinds gay or not? 
No, Isaac is not gay, nor bi, nor anything but a die hard photographer and fan of the sports who happens to enjoy the opposite sex. He just chooses to keep his relationships private, although his close friends know who he is with. When he comes to Los Angeles, he stays over in the guest room, and my kids even call him Uncle Isaac once in a while. He is alos one of my good friends, us having a lot in common with photography, covering the events, and running websites.
CONGRATS RON .. on many many yrs of board craziness.. its been a pleasure these past 13 yrs .. it was good seeing you last week doing your thing!
Thanks, as Derik knows firsthand how Getbig has affected his life. Very nice seeing you and the rest of the crew at Metroflex. We were all impressed at that 585 pounds squat (12 plates) with Derik weighing 176 pounds. Pound for pound, Derik is one of the most admired and impressive hardcore training bodybuilder there is.
Also yes I believe it was americanbodybuilding.com at the time, and not getbig, though I could be wrong.
Good memory - it was always called Getbig, but that the time I also owned americanbodybuilding.com which redirected to getbig.com. American Body Building drinks decided to use it has a place for their members to come and learn about the drinks (we were and still are ABB distributors), but eventually, we separated the two. Have to give credit to Peter Parsons, who at the time liked that name the best. Peter left ABB at the time, and went on to work for Microsoft Games, eventually becoming a director for some awesome games, including Age of Empires and Need for Speed... among others.
But I am curious as to why you had a secret VIP board for??? Was it for American Bodybuilding employees or something or for vendors???
Special friends, bodybuilders and others who needed information, but not out for public. Promoters info, contest questions, etc, more like what twitter is now (it was different back then) in terms of how it looked. And yes, there are some private boards here now too. One is for the Mods. Others are for other reasons.
