Getbig was fun, and sometimes still is.  But back then people cared more about bodybuilding, and I had help in various sections with people who actually did care. Never was the money, never really had advertising on the boards. Just a place to have fun.  But many of us grew up, had kids, now have kids in college, other jobs, and other interests too.  Would love to build up some areas here at Getbig. Articles, interviews, etc, but time is of the essence.  Family health issues, friends with other interests, and overwhelming work related projects that are still there. 

As for guests, can't have them posting because too many issues with people impersonating someone else, and posting threats and porn, and just ruining things on purpose because they feel like it, and it makes them feel good by ruining other people and sites.

I have met some really good people here over the years, and some moderators that do care, and stick with it, good or bad. Thank you all for making it fun.

If someone wants to help, and build up some parts lacking, I am all for making it better.  I have not updated parts of the site in a long while, putting kids thru college, family is important, work needs to pay bills.  Keep in mind, with high traffic and still around 60,000 people a day, the invoices to run and maintain it for still there every month.  I just go to less events as those cost a ton of money too. Not asking for money, but help maybe in getting some parts of the site updated to make it a more enjoyable visit.

Ron, I'd genuinely be interested in articles and interviews.

Getbig is the best forum on the net, period.

If there is a place to donate some money for the site to help Ron, give me a link.

I have stalked this board for eons. Heck, I know who Medford, Flower and Goatboy were, lol  And Jeff and Jodi and Chadwick.

But back to my point- I'll contribute to the site financially.

Whatever I can do / you need from me I’m in! ….Get Big literally changed my life (thinking I was “ the shit “ and getting challenged and to stfu and compete … something I don’t think would have done if not for this place! “ I’ll show them “ was my mantra that I actually used to say in my  My head during my second or third bout of cardio at midnight around my neighborhood!  …. This place had to destroy me so we could build myself back up …. “ Tough Love” I guess you would call it …,anyways whatever you and or this place needs I’m in!

EliteFitness and Anabolex I believe are run by the SARM scammer "Swillin' YerGelli". (Dylan Gemelli).

Hey, I recognize that guy. It's cool he upgraded the car -

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

As for the original question, I think we will get some stragglers, at least the ones that really want to talk bodybuilding and gossip with little filter. It will take some time before we see them though.

The Reddit boards are horrible, you really have to keep it super positive on all the big boards there, or threads get locked, or swarths of comments deleted. Tons of SJW types there too.

Promuscle is still pretty active, but again you have to be relatively positive, and a lot of gossip is frowned on.

RxMuscle is dead.

Youtube comments can be great or horrible depending on the channel, but that can go at any minute.

Dont want any money donations.   If you have a good interview, article that you wrote, or an idea to make an area better, and want to help, email me, and we can add it on.  Bodybuilding for the people.

Jay Cutler posted here for a bit, he got some unsolicited arm-training advices and then started winning Olympias.
Basile created explosive muscular growth for many. Just visualizing working out in the bicep supinator contraption increased my arm measurement by 2 inches.

How could we, The Getbigmembers, help you in a better way? Would 80,000 people a day or even 100k make the invoices more bearable?

Without you Ron, we would never have had SquadFather, Tbombz, Goodrum, Wiggs et al and such epic gems like "Gayer than", "Hope this helps", "Girls and sons" and so forth. So much joy and entertainment for decades.

Such great memories and gems during the years, that never will pass like tears in rain.

To be fair, the reason pros caught flack here was because they tried to sell the magazine propaganda of steroids being the “Finishing Touch.”
