This mofo has been crazy since it started.

What made Getbig special was that it exposed the "Finishing Touch" lie.

When Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa had their big Homerun year, no one believed me when I said that both were on Steroids. Today, everyone knows about steroids. Throw in the continued descent of pro-bodybuilding into obscurity and there's pretty much no need for the G&O.

Ron actually got a lot of "heat" from competitors,officials and other "industry people to change/moderate "police" the Get-Big forums.....much to his credit he never wavered

Those were the days of the forum raids.

GetBig members would unite in groups of 10 and visit neighboring bodybuilding forums and wreak havoc in the middle of the night.

By early morning hours, all that was left of those forums were bits and pieces of some semblance of order.

I occasionally cause havoc on other forums on my own.

I've always thought of GetBig like that of Ra's al Gul. Getbig is more than just one man or the sum of its members, it's an ideal that can't be stopped......legend.

I think it's the freedom to post mostly whatever you want

Although Misc has had some pretty crazy shit too..a mass murderer, suicide cases, the home of Zyzz etc.

True, but Getbig has now started to attract the mentally ill. People with mental health issues are arriving on Getbig's doorstep because they are attracted to certain elements that have made Getbig "legendary". Getbig has started to evolve into something where the fairly "normal" (or what can pass as normal) gets displaced by the abnormal and perverse. You will see more Uncle Juniors, SMMs, Halos, etc. in the future, and they will continually ratchet it up. I don't think that we are too long from a public suicide or worse.

Ron has different plans. He has some new ideas he will soon implement, but I will let him take the lead.

Watch out for more pros and figure competitors.

What made this forum great was Ron allowed "guest" posters to post here. So much true dirt came from unknown "guest" posters from the industry...So many funny threads started. This place has been tame for many years now. People complaining about other posters now really do this site a disservice from it's roots...

2002/2003 Mayhem vs. getbig

Always thought it would be great if Ron allowed the "guest" feature to be used(3 days) the day before, the day of and the day after all IFBB contests...
