The Real Reason GetBig Was Down-Explained!
« on: March 14, 2017, 09:22:49 AM »
FROM THE DESK OF FALLSVIEW:

Greetings!

It has been in long talks between Ron and I about paying for a membership to GetBig. It would be a quarterly membership rate. The quarter would start the day of the Olympia and would have 5 in a year. I will not comment on what Ron thinks and will let him say what he will. But I for one are in favour of a paid membership.

Pros

1. Limit amount of split personalities registered.

2. Welfare/Subsidy people would be discouraged to apply.

3. Quality posters who work and have money would join.

4. Uneducated Serfs would fail the Bodybuilding test needed to join along with the $59.99

5. $59.99 5x per year would be for maintenance and upkeep.

6. Paid members would get Cell Phone Alerts. For example: Kevin Leverone is now training at the gym. Contest results, Who's holding a seminar and has it started. When a new piece of clothing comes out from the Baileys. etc. etc.

Con's

1. Bodybuilding test and membership fee's will discourage regulars that are near retirement. Example-Be There, Wes, Primemuscle, Muscletech, etc. etc. While these members are on a fixed income and their memory isn't like it used to be.

2. Who will handle the money?

3. Privacy because a phone number for text alerts is needed.

4. If a membership fee is going to be required many people will expect a tee shirt. This was one of the questions years ago when we sent out PM's to 100 members. They all wanted a free t-shirt if they were to pay.


So there you have it. Right now its tabled but very close.

It was the Russians, I don't have any proof to my claims but I heard Ron talked to a Russian bodybuilder before.

Not sure we should jar the delicate ecosystem of Getbig without some evidence that it will succeed. 

Start yourself a forum and institute these inspired ideas.  In a couple years let us know how it's all going.

Actually, the very opposite. GetBig has had a surge of new members sign up. According to my conversation with Ron, there are about 158 people still waiting to be confirmed members.

Your reason that the board is dying is because some of the older posters are not here. Most have moved on in life and are doing other things like, raising a family, being a grandparent or like in Groink's case in prison. Just because some of the older gents are gone doesn't mean the board is dying. 8 inch Not Biceps is one of the rising stars on GetBig. He's bold, challenges the status quo and has a vast knowledge of training.

I for one have been trying to get JJ Marsh to post here and Mario Sarni. These two guys sat in my kitchen having coffee back in NYC in 1992. Great guys and are willing to tell the real secrets of proper nutrition.

I for one would love to charge for this forum. Bitcoin in a great option and Ron would love to get into that area since its not controlled by the Federal Reserve.

To clarify the 5 quarters, they correspond with the bodybuilding year. It centers around contests, time to prepare and seminars. The 3 quarter in the bodybuilding year is actually very short due to the fact they decided to hold an Arnold Classic in Europe. That is where the shortened 5th quarter comes from. Hope that clarifies some things.
