Someone clean up this board before it totally dies

[Irongrip400]

Ron, your board is dying. And while you may be an absentee landlord, there is some shit on here that really should be monitored better and deleted. Certain posters suck ass too and should be banned. I’m not saying everything has to be BB, but every other thread is some Trump bashing or racist shit.

[SF1900]

Yeah, GB is pretty bad these days.

We need Shizzo back.

show this man the door! you can always leave   jk

actually this is one the few decent bber forums "off topics" around. ive been on forums since christ was a corporal. elite fitness in 2001 and other random ones as well. just forums are not in vogue anymore.

i do feel with forums you get some of the best insight since it is still peeps still using name plates etc etc (not real identities).  the hidden identity can help since ppl will give actual legit information.  the DMT thread was amazing

i wish we had more bbing talk for sure - i dont care if they faux accounts etc. more bbing talk please

Only if he promises to talk BB, MMA, CFT and MPT. Whilst in a thong.

[robcguns]

different name

i always have random ass names on forums that make no sense - i was on elite fitness then it got stale, then steroidology - got banned - then went a private forum that was super legit then it died - the owner killed himself -  then i came here prolly 2 years ago.

Social media killed message boards.

[Tbomzisback!]

Social media killed message boards.

I think so.

Instagram, Youtube.

Was thinking the other day I should have started up a Youtube account back when I was into this stuff.

Look at Nick's Strength And Power. Dude has nearly a million subscribers, driving a brand new Corvette. Just putting out 10 minute clips talking about the sort of stuff we used to spend hours a day talking about here.

Social media killed message boards.

car forums and motorcycle forums are also dead

the one thing that keeps GB alive the average poster is prolly 40+ so most use our desktop and are used to a forum

i do love how forums you can be anonymous which can lead to great information. i credit many kudos to forums over the years especially with PED conversation

It's not done, but we've got to learn to enjoy it as it is. All forums have fallen off a decent bit, the only ones that are still strong are academic boards, general interest boards, and boards that skew older on much broader topics. The bodybuilding stuff isn't coming back. Facebook, Instagram and the ability to control content has killed that off. Also the fact that bodybuilding is so spread out among different gyms now has killed the high quality gossip we got in the mid 90's - 2010 or so. Gold's Venice, etc.... are shadows of their former selves in that regard.

Also I think this board has aged out of caring about the new Youtube generation of stars. Rich Piana was the last one we had. Does anyone really care here about V Shredz, Kinobody, etc....? I don't. Even something like Reddit bodybuilding has a hard time being interesting -

https://www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/new/ .

Same rehashed conversations we were doing years ago, and we did them better.

Rx Muscle is dead compared to us. MD Forums still does a lot of traffic, but look at how boring and moderated it is .

[JustPlaneJane]

We need Shizzo back.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Prudence]

Face it guys...I'm GOOD for GetBig.
All of my threads have a nice bronze color about them.

Oh hell no! Might as well bring back groink

This board is about bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is dying. Sure there are one or two major shows a year but the late 70's and early 80's explosion of bodybuilding is gone. I think young men that use to get into bodybuilding are gravitating to Jui jitsu, cross fit, and stuff like Spartan races. Plenty of other sports like basket ball leagues and million other activities.


Gyms are packed but it's guys into fitness and looking good. Very few have any desire to compete.  Everyone knows the dirty secret of bodybuilding and that's drugs. I live near the beach and when a steroided up guy is strutting the boardwalk he gets more laughs than admirers.

I felt this way for a long time. Bodybuilding attracts insecure men who want to be seen as a man. To achieve that they will even risk health using drugs to get the compliments that they are a man walking around with their temporary steroid physique. I heard a variation of this from more than one lifter. Lifting is a waste of time without the syringe assist. That is sad. It also attracts strange people who deviate drastically from the main stream. Sometimes that can definitely be an attribute in life but in this case it's not.

Bodybuilding could have been one of the great sports of health, strength, and even aesthetics but has gone into a deeper subculture than it ever was before.

All my favorite forums are dead or dying, it was social media that did this.

[BILL ANVIL]

This is a racist board disguised by a bodybuilding forum get used to it.

[Dieter]

Instagram has siphoned away a lot of traffic from Getbig. It's just so much easier and more efficient to insult bodybuilders directly than to post the same stuff here.

[el numero uno]

I joined this board 9 years ago, and I was fairly active back then. Now not so much, although I'm not sure it has to do with the quality of the threads.

From what I remember, years ago Getbig was the wild wild west, and threads were fun to read.

I would say that GB is not as wild as it was before, but it's not as fun neither.

I think that most posters grew up and just quit the online drama.

Yeah, I feel the same.

[Mothballs]

Let’s do some outreach and get in touch with some former member legends who can restore Getbig to its former greatness. #MakeGBGreatAgain
