All i know is that when Henda joined, it was much joy.



Almost as much joy as when SF met Rory.


If I had a dick, I’m sure it would have been hard.

Well not really sure, but pretty sure I would have been sporting a railer.

Granted, if I did have a dick and a hard-on, I absolutely would have posted thousands of pics here.

On Getbig, we are ALL Wes bum boys.


He is the One Above All.


The Man , The Myth, The Legend, The Ancient One.


He gave Moses (Moses was also his bum boy) advice back in the day regarding the commandments.





Wes has seen it all, done it all, been it all.




From Dust, The Eternal Wes shall rise.

Damn...I get left out of everything.

I'm thinking escrima is around 20-30.

Haven't encountered any life changing tragedies yet.


Wait til he's 40-60, then the tone will surely be different :D

Whatever age he is he sounds like just another loud mouth punk who is very brave being anonymous behind a computer screen but in real life is a meek little bitch.

You can be sure he's had many a dick thrusting down his throat swallowing huge loads with satisfaction. And I'm sure he's no stranger to getting on all fours begging to be mounted and dominated. Everything about him reeks of a cuckold bitch.

How Would You Compare Getbig To Other Forums You're On
« Reply #138 on: July 12, 2020, 08:31:37 AM »
I'm on two other forums that are related to other interests I have.  One of them requires the moderator to approve every post I make because I'm a relatively new member, having joined a moth ago.  From the time I post to the time it appears is over ten hours.  Additionally, that board is so dead, the entire forum I was on had zero posts yesterday.  I almost want to send a PM to the moderator to tell him to pull his head out of his ass.  In addition the rules and regulations on that forum go on for pages.  The will delete your post if you have a spelling error.  I'm 100 percent serious.

The other of the two forums I'm on also has the multi page rules and regulations and initial approval process on every post for new members.  In addition there's a new rules page added every year.  They heavily moderate every little thing on that forum as well.  Calling someone a fanboy will likely get you banned.  It's very amusing how benign the posts are that get people banned.  Your average Getbigger would be banned almost immediately from both of the forums. 

I'm going directly from these totalitarian regime forums to Getbig daily.  I really believe these other forums could learn so much be what Ron has created here.  I don't see these other forums changing and I don't see them generating enough traffic to even make it worth someones while to post there.

I find all these Getbig isn't as good as it used to be threads amusing because many who post here don't appreciate how good we have it.

What are your experiences on other forums?  Are you seeing the same thing?

I'm not as active on other forums as I am here.

Most forums I've visited are slow compared to GB. Also, most mods on other forums need to get off their high horse.

Having good grammar and manners are important when the forum deals with academic topics. Men in thongs get a pass.

The lack of moderation is a double edge sword. I don't think most forum owners want a bunch of idiots using the n-word on every other thread.

Conspiracy nuts may be a bodybuilding thing, so probably more moderation would not really help.

I would say getbig is the last bastion of free speech. you can say your opinion ..but you are not allowed to cross some lines. rightly so.

Free Speech is important. However, certain words are just not allowed, nor is hatred of races.  You can argue over specific issues, which is discussion and debate, but blaming a race, religion, a type of person because of they way they look, sound, are - is pure racism, and I know that 95% of the people are not like that.  I hate the fact that certain people (of both spectrums) try to silence speech thinking we are all stupid.  But I also hate the people who are racists that actually think an entire group is like that. Which means they have no idea about the world. 

BUT - most important, this is a bodybuilding, fitness, supplement, expo board - and when there are contests, events, bodybuilding related items, those go first (hence, why many different boards) are on here.  But right now, current events and COVID-19 are eclipsing everything.

I'm not on many anymore, but the last few have slowly gone from being reasonably moderated to very "Just the facts-ish", where they only want on topic posts. And it isn't totally off topic stuff that gets them mad, it could be just adding a bit of history to a post or recommending they look at another forum for a sec, etc..... The quality of posters has dropped too among the newer guys, many get a bit SJWish when there's no call for it.

Almost all of the good strength forums are gone. Irongarmx, PowerandBulk, Lyle's Monkey Island group, OutlawPowerlifting, etc.... A lot of it is just guys aging out, but a lot of people also just can't handle an unmoderated forum. It's sad.

The "Why is Getbig So Boring" thread got me thinking a bit, and I realized that Getbig is the last place that truly covered Bodybuilding history warts and all from the late 90's - today. All the rest are gone. There is something to be said for that.

The unpolished history of bodybuilding gossip 1994 - 2020 comes down to essentially two things now, Getbig and the Misc.Fitness.Weights newsgroup archive (prime years 1994 - 2004 or so).

Enjoy it while we get it friends.

There are other parts of Getbig Boards that have that (I think 30 different boards). 

In terms of History, there is a whole subsection about the history of bodybuilding and experiences out there.



History - Stories - and Memories

Same with contest training, etc

Very few other forums even allow ANY discussion at all about race.  I'm not convinced making a subject taboo helps the situation.  Getbig is one of the few forums that allows race to even be mentioned.

Compared to other forums, this is where i call home!


We have been one big family ever since the early 2000s!



Without Henda, Rob, Meister, FFrenzy, Vissy, ESF, Soul Crusher et al, i would probably go someplace else.

C'mon Ron, we all know racism is allowed on Getbig.

If you don't think calling black people chimps or subspecies is hatred of races, then you may have a twisted sense of what racism is.
