Nice encapsulation of Getbig Kwon. I fall mainly into the 3rd group but when I joined in 2004 and lurked before then, I was training regularly. Besides the personalities that have come and gone over the years and the ones that are still here, the G&O forum is unlike anything on the internet. Even when it's bad it's good.
X2 this place is a one off, there is no other Getbig...anywhere.
and all nonsense aside, talking real shit....if yoiuv'e been here for a decade or more, 5-6 years.whatever..this place has changed the way you think and interact with people, anybody who denys that is lying.
For me personally, the shit witrh Josh and my kid cjhanged the way i see things pretty significantly.
when that first went down I was shocked, felt VIOLATED, fucking quit the board...and got on my high horse for years about these "evil horrible people threatening my child" it was a thorn in the side of my real life..to a degree let's not get stupid.
then Josh and I started talking again..and he was like "stop being a bitch, it's the fucking internet..i'm sorry, but...nobody's fucking with your kid"
It was like a punch to the stomach, because he was right. nothing ever happend..a few peope
le said some rude shit and laughed on a forum that six people visited. my kid will never know it...who fucking cares.
it made me realize you have to let some fucked up shit co exist with the real world and it just works, and you accept it...it's not always what YOU think
That changed my personality, made me really , truly not give a FUCK when people try to judge or criticize me or mine..and i'm passing ot on to my daughter. how's that for fucking IRONY ?
