I joined the original getbig forum some 20 yrs ago.  Most of the regulars from back then aren't on here anymore.

There is a way to search members.  I think you can search by registered date as well.  There are thousands of accounts registered without a single post.

I disappeared for a few years and came back on here (in the forum's current format) in 2003.  Pretty much the only person I remember from back then who still comes around occasionally is Butterbean.  Hi Butterbean!  :-*

EDIT:  Oh, and Coach was on here too back in the olden days of the interwebs.  And stuntmovie.  And onlyme (may he RIP).

onlyme had health issues from his excessive bodyweight, but his excessive bodyweight and health issues were brought on by a spider bite to his lower leg (don't remember what kind of spider, maybe brown recluse), which became badly infected and ultimately led to his loss of mobility and untimely death.

Jeez - That's one spider bite to keep well away from.

If that potent - Is there little or no antidote for it.

First heard about Getbig in the late 90's when he'd pop into MFW to post updates -

http://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/ron$20getbig.com.

Back then it was more a chat room, then it moved closer to a forum. Most boards looked sort of like Reddit does now.

Old gossip section 1998 -

http://web.archive.org/web/19980426030628/http://getbig.com:80/gossip.htm .

Old feedback -

http://web.archive.org/web/19980426030818/http://getbig.com:80/readers.htm .

Old chat -

http://web.archive.org/web/19990129075042/http://www.getbig.com:80/chat/ .

------------------------------

2002 version of the forum -

http://web.archive.org/web/20020803014831/http://getbig.com:80/board.htm .

You can still click into the G and O and a few others and read the old threads from back then. It's interesting.

-----------------------------------------

I joined in 2004 after some time away from the scene, and some lurking. MFW was getting away from bodybuilding, and Muscle Mayhem was pretty popping, but Getbig seemed like were the funny was, so here I am.

There are a bunch of people with 2003 registered dates here.. including myself. 

There was no need to register in 2003 because the guest feature was still on.  Not sure when I really started posting... maybe that year, maybe a year earlier.

It was necessary to register in order to ascend from being considered a petty troll (which all guests were).  IE, you'd post as a guest and then people would completely ignore you and shit because you were a guest and guests generally spoke utter shit.

Did getbig go up before Shawn Ray's old board?  Batfink, Siphon77,etc?

Well, yes, but the point I was making was that he hasn't posted since 2006...However his computer still has the getbig cookie on it from 2006, and whenever he lurks, the cookie registers his lurking as an "activity"...Does he still use his 2004 computer?
