Getbig Boring? Lets discuss

[JustPlaneJane]

if Ron is not weak heart-ted he will take it positively instead of banning me for telling truth  ..this forum like truth right ?

reasons are below,


(1) unfunny frequent  posters like Superfag1900  , Fatfrenzy and armyofone  starting and maintaining topics that are not interesting and making very poor quality multiple  posts.

(2) forum is full of gay jokes and gay threads plus racist hateful threads , not a bright place to stay at all.

(3) people with most post count are the biggest weirdos here actually ( including kwon ) with exception of few ( tapeworm , mr anabolic etc )

(4) banning and disappearance of good posters while posters like shizzo was allowed to make this forum quality go low.
 
(5) not letting new posters  come in ...if you try to register it will take 3-4 month to get approve and you might not even get email notifying the registration  completion


etc.

Sadly, there are a lot less bodybuilding and related threads out there since all expos and contests were stopped, and we have protesting, Covid-19, and many other issues that are in the spotlight at the moment.  When we can get more contests, events, people talking about bodybuilding, more threads will come back.   In normal times, we used to look at the upcoming contests, NPC USAs, Pro Bodybuilding shows, but alas, all are postponed.   Right now. many of my friends are just worried about jobs, businesses, even if a gym is open, and if they can even train without being harrassed.


There is NO funding coming here, so it doesnt matter.  What I value is debate, discussion, on both sides, which can be discussed rationally without the leveling of Racism and Hatred for one race or religion.  People are frustrated from all sides.   Eventually, when more contests and expos and something to look forward to comes back, many non-related threads will go back to the General Board, just as Politics are on the Politics board. 

If you want to have better threads here, be part of the solution and post positive bodybuilding and fitness related thread. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and go to another board, where you obviously were at before.

Of course, but the issue goes way further back than March or whenever gyms started getting closed down and shows got cancelled. 

Take a look at the threads from about 5 years ago:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?board=1.30000

80-90% are fitness related. 

This is about 2 years ago:
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?board=1.10000

Maybe 20% are fitness related?  Of those that are fitness related (eg: your bodybuilding show threads), several received few or no replies

And then of course, a quick scan of the threads on the forum today showed less than 5 that were even tangentially fitness related.  If this is the vision you have for the G&O, described as "A board where you can discuss, gossip, talk and read the latest news and events about the bodybuilding industry", so be it.

[ESFitness]

In my opinion Getbig’s prime was 2000-2003

Accurate

[wes]

Your opinion means jack shit around here laundry boy.

[TTfit]

Actually there aren't enough bodybuilding posts plain and simple. Sorry not sorry.

Wanna go to Thunder Bay, Ontario or West Linn, Oregon and roundhouse kick a couple of Downs Syndrome cockriders in the head ?

I’ll pay, if we get to go for ice cream sundaes later.

Who 'deleted' the interesting thread about Goodrum having sex with a woman?

Probably deleted for being fake news. Maybe you can start a thread about a machine for building up the ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus muscles?

What is this professor of math thing? Not hypertrophy or equipment design!

[avxo]

I wouldn't know how to design a supinator, but I can use maths to calculate the gains one derives from it: zero point zero if you're lucky.

Vince do you still design and manufacture exercise equipment? Have you filed any patents?

Interesting that you say this. At the moment I am getting ready to build a piece or two of new gym equipment. A triceps machine and then perhaps a running machine with resistance, not anything like a treadmill.

I have to overcome the momentum problem with such a machine as athletes want to go full speed and they are quicker than the force of gravity. Still would be a good machine for most athletes to build

amazing leg strength. As Arthur Jones explained, you need an anti-kinetic device. The only current machine that I know of that has that property is the Keiser air leg press. Instant load for negatives.

Life Fitness had an amazing series in the 1990's working on electrical resistance. Also instant load for negatives. Using conventional resistance isn't so easy to design. Will give it more thought.

Regarding electrical resistance ( I was hook on by Bruce Lee), try modern day EMS at :Bodytechfitness or Inpuls gyms in Sydney.

In just 20-30 minuts you'll be dead, depends of EMS level. Still thinking to buy 1 of those EMS suits, $ 3000 ?.

You are expecting this forum to be like it was from 2005-2012 or so, thats never going to happen again.It was a period of history before most people had a smartphone, when bodybuilding was more popular, when there were characters competing, talking shit etc. social media platforms were all in early stages, with few users due to most no having a smartphone.Forums were the most popular way to talk online, mostly populated by more tech savvy desktop users.

The influx of users on here from 2004-2012 all got older, got married, had kids etc,and feel stupid making "hahah I bet you are the type of guy" , "gayer than" , "outed" posts, most drifted away to facebook, instagram and the like for their social fix. The pros all jumped ship once facebook, instagram and twitter blew up, places where they could get their ass kissed, make money, and not feel like crap everyday getting trolled.

Whats left is a hardcore group who largely find todays bodybuilding dull as dishwater, but all share similar political views and sense of humor.I dont think I could name more than 4 current pros, I could have listed most of the olympia lineup 16 years ago

Making gossip and opinions strictly bodybuilding related would be the death of the forum, bodybuilding just isnt popular or strong enough to maintain a forum on that subject alone, which is why most of the hardcore boards are dead. Pros all are too image conscious and social media savvy today to risk saying or doing anything controversial, which doesnt make for good viewing. Add in people like the hodge twins who have physiques joe public aspire to, while being interesting at the same time, along with hundreds of others like them on yt.Its just more interesting than bodybuilding to anyone but the hardcore, which isnt enough to sustain this forum

I agree Ron needs to sort out the registration, I never understood the 4 month thing, at most leave it 10 days after registration before people can post to limit ultra trolls registering and immediately spamming.

I make alot of threads to keep the forum moving, on interesting things I know from experience the board will like.I was banned in 2017 and noticed the board came to a grinding halt in fresh content and posts, so if you have a better suggestion with your 5 posts of hard work contributing, Im all ears.

Now this is analysis.

Getbig has given us so many good memories.
From Dubai, India, to room 7 by the ice machine.

I hold out hope that we will see some legends return after seeing what a waste of time social media is.

I'll stick with conventional training, thanks.

I think that statement qualifies you as a genuine knucklehead.

I take that it that knuckleheads, along perhaps with various other types of heads, are a subject you're an expert on?

The positive is that people will learn to cook and relax.

Which will make kicking your liberal ass even more fun.
