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 -

2002 version of the forum -

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.

Great post here BB, thank you. It was fun looking at some old names. I joined GB in 2004, used to be on Mayhem before that.

I first spoke to Ron trying to sell him web hosting back in 1997.  He politely declined but I liked the site

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

idk which board was here first, but Batfreak and Siphon77 were on getbig back in the day.

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?

You are aware that if he is in timeout, he can still log in, yeah?

I would presume that last activity on SMF is based on being logged on and making a page request

Cookies have nothing to do with it.  Hence your confusion.

I was probably the first 10 since I came in my name before gh15..

in any case ths forum became what it became bodybuild wize because of me pretty much.. im talking advance bodybuild forum where it is taken as such by the masses of athletes all over the world,, this were the hey days 2005-2011 or so,,

the forum as a whole was best when squad father ruled it with 240 and then I came in and took the charge in the bodybuild department,,

nothing wil ever match 2005-2010 years on get big,, these 5-6 years are untouched.. its like ummm let me think about it..

2005-2010 on getbig is like the years boris becker ruled tennis.. you remember that german right?

this forum was unbeatable 2005-2010 it was diego maradona like.. it was boris becker and ivan lendel like.. it was pretty much the Mohamad ali of bodybuild and fitness between 2005-2010 which ofcourse were its best years
