If you believe for one minute that the handful of idiots here on Getbig, who constantly talk down about BB, mock out pro's, post photoshopped pictures, and spend countless hours making fun of the very sport this site is about....actually are paying customers, you're in fantasyland.

So, when does "To the fools...don't bother. Post what you want, you'll get nothing in return. I refuse to acknowledge your existence" officially kick in?

I do appreciate all the support I receive here on GetBig.  I make an effort not to advertise too much, but you're right, I should say 'thank you' more often.

Thanks, Ron and the rest of the GetBig Nation!

Great prices and reasonably fast shipping. Of course according to Chick I don't really know that because I've never bought from them before.

Of the course my tub of Creatine, Glutamine and my new belt tell a different story but why let facts get in the way.

There are some good people here, but they move on quickly, as thee fools make it impossible to talk about bb, and ruin it for everyone else.

man, and here i am spending my hard earned money each month at both bodybuilding.com and the vitamin shoppe like a chump...i either need to spend less money or hang out here less...

I don't think anyone is bashing getbig.com

I know that Ron and I get along great.  I generate a lot of content for his board, and I am a part of a group of steady posters who have contributed to the growth of this place over the last several years.

For anyone who's seen the VIP board- the "Utopia" of BBing boards- that place is downright BORING!  Somebody posts a token topic, everyone gets "seen" and plays nice, and the thread dies.  There are like 10 threads total, and not one chuckle or laugh to be had.  It was like reading homework.  

There's a reason getbig is the best board out there.  It's like recess.  It's fun.  There are groups who run wild, there are groups who stand next to the teacher and throw compliments.  But the far larger group is the one who just enjoys sitting back and watching it all go down.  It's fun :)

It's hidden.  The only people who can see it are pros/experts/special guests/ competitors.

I was given the gift of a sneak peek, and to be honest, there wasn't anything good in there.  Just boring "Great win, Bob" and "Ignore those internet haters" and a lot of "it's so nice to be in a positive place".

The place had traffic week one, and now it's just dead.

Ah, I see, so the discussion of the 50k has been taken down?

it wasn't directed solely at you Rob..................
(i include myself as well,i have made a couple of bucks off of my website,not much mind you lol)

it's because of Ron and GET-BIG  that my site has even been seen ............

gives me (and Laura) an outlet to view/express what we like in the BB/fitness world
other sites are dead...............topic s never change
people never post

like ghostowns

.............i know i be bummed if this site got shut down

so..............i guess I'm just thanking Ron
( i certainly would not disrespect him and call him names/post pics of him etc  etc)
Get-Big is a privilege............... not a Right

No, it's still there. It's just a ghost town.  Cutler called out Bob, who did some defensive posturing, then everyone stopped to save face.

i think that might be the problem with BBing.  Most of the people in positions of power are so concerned with "being friends" with everyone that no one will really step up and give the complacent masses a swift kick in the pants to make some changes happen.

Cutler called out Chick? That must have been interesting.

Someone reposted it here, but it was deleted, I think.  Wasn't that big a deal- Bob suggested a $50K prize for audience applause- a fan favorite.  Cutler said "That idea sucks, Bob".  The place got quiet, as no one has ever stood up to Bob.  People started playing nice.  Lee posted it here in the main board.  Bob responded to lee by saying he didn't want that post in the "peanut gallery".   That is what started all the peanut talk.  Bob responded to that by not accuign 99% of GB of being real fans, and he defined real fans as those who attend shows and buy from BBing.com.  He then called me out, saying he could check sales records to see if I shop there, and he could see "a whole lot more".  Many getbiggers freaked out, wondering if Bob had access to sales records.  You know the rest.  BBing.com staff assured us their info was safe.  End story.

Now that you think of it, 50,000 could be spent in better places. Maybe getting on cable network?

$50k could help a lot with bringing up the production value of the webcast.  Hell, I know most of us would be willing to sit thru a few commercials on the webcast for near-tv quality.

Actually, there wasn't much traffic at all in the beginning.

Things have really picked up lately, as you might imagine.

I remember the thread, I didn't know that Cutler said anything to Chick though.

I find it funny that no one would stand up to Chick. Why? I'm trying to see why he should garner such respect.

Truth be told Cutler should look at Chick like Chick looks at us. Cutler and Chick are light years apart as far as bodybuilding is concerned.

Also, if ppl thought the results of the Masters were controversial, imagine what would happen if an athlete won $50,000 over another guy in a disputed "Scream-O-Meter", or in fan judging handled by BBing.com :)

Just waaaay too much room for shadiness.
