2006 was a good vintage, but then 2003/4 was also classic times

The McFarland/Jodels/240 or bust/Kamali years were the best IMHO.....

Id say early to mid 2000's. Place has kind of been on a downward slide ever since GH15 showed up, although with him gone, things have gotten a little better.

In all honesty I think most would have to agree.

It comes in waves..

Some will say that the 2003-2005 era was the best, but others will say that 2007-2009 was the best.  Reality is that this place has always been entertaining.

This is the only place were MOST IFBB PROS come to in order to hear true criticism and find out what the fans truly think.

Think about it, everywhere else you have way too much censorship, whereas GetBig is practically the last bastion of truth.

This place also has a lot of industry insiders, judges and IFBB pros that still post here, albeit some do by way of gimmicks.

Stick around, there is more to come around these parts.

Every year is a surprise.  The prime is never ending and there is no half life on getbig.

I'd say the avesher / JNN / Falcon era is worth putting on the top 10 list.

Also, when Sev was in his prime and telling about all the women he was banging.
This was also when Ironneck and Swede were very active posters. Good times were had!

Getbig wasn't the same after Onlyme went off to fight the giant spider in the sky.

I liked it in 2004-2006... it was the wild west here.  Every day you could log on knowing there was going to be some serious ownings, meltdowns, outings, threats of violence, often involving professional bodybuilders.   Top muscle magazines would TRASH the forums - knowing full well their narrative of how BBing worked was about to be demlished.  Gear, site injections, ghost writing, G4p... it all came out, often with animated gifs, cake CNN webpages, and threats of lawsuits.

You remember your old Glory days my dear friend?

Those were the days when pros used to tremble at the thought of 240 working their pictures into works of art.

Yes on getbig in times of yore it was considered a slow day if there was not at least one offer to meet up in real life and throw hands.
