I have had another website that I was fond of disappear...It was called "RedHotJazz.com"

It is one of the reasons that I greatly prefer physical media in stead of streaming. What if Netflix stopped streaming my favorite things...or things I "bought"...

I started buying DVDs of shows and movies I like. I got tired of Amazon streaming a series and then one day start charging for it.

I would be happy to donate to the cause. Getbig is the only website worth a shit on the internet.

I didn't come close to committing suicide but I figured a few people would not be heard from again.

I didn't think it was going to come back up. I thought It was gone for good.

You shut your mouth with that kind of talk!

Well

Needless to say, this has been a journey. With all the craziness, we went way over tons of gigabytes in storage and database blew. Can't revive it, as data was corrupted, so we used an older version, and had to add another hard drive into the system just to hold all the attachments, and more. Took a long time with limited resources. But I still enjoy our little world, so thank you to the ones that will help, as costs now are nothing like they were way back. I met a lot of friends over the years from this site, and hope it will continue.

Ron

Thanks for getting Getbig back up Ron. I know how challenging it is to keep up to date with backups. I spent a few years doing IT related word. Hard drives will fail. When the site was down I wondered if Getbig could live on Reddit...

HOLY SHIT RON!

Thank God for King Avidan!

Great having getbig back, inclusive of all the previous thread history (excl. a couple of recent months) dating back to the circa 2006 era, as I often randomly read & enjoy old threads and battles

Had the same throught actually, but - despite individual subs being user-moderated - I am thinking broader oversight would likely prove an issue before long given some of the content that gets posted here, especially given reddit is now a public company. GB would lose a key part of what makes it the place it is

I was actually worried that Ron died. I searched for his obituary. Glad to see all is good.

I'm institutionalized like you peasants. It's good to be back. How many self deleted out of despair.

You were, the white man freed your kind a couple hundred years ago.
