What year did Getbig begin? (This name was registered in 2003 but I had 2 other names before this one … AviaIsBack and something else Mike_Arvilla I think?)

You started with an "is back" name?

You were simply Overload at first right bro?

My first account was DirtRider or something like that, but i deleted it.

Second was Overload, which i got locked out of so i started this one.

I lurked Muscle Mayhem for a year or so, and Viking Power and the wrestling ring girl Marianna Komlos fighting had spilled over on to Muscle Mayhem, then it was Tom Prince and his war with Getbig. Found myself lurking over here more often, so I signed up.

I first posted here to see who won the 1998 Mr. O.

Before that you had to wait until the magazines came out a few months later.

I also used to post on ironage.us.

It was.

I got a warning from Shawn Perine for razzing Lou Ferrigno about the 1994 Masters Mr. O.

Social media had just been invented.

I may be wrong but I believe I used to read a lot of your posts on the Steroid board.  ???

Probably not me.

There was a different OAK that posted on Getbig before the 2003 server reset (I think).

A few Getbig members have asked me if I am him.

I had an earlier account aslo but I was a mod on Mayhem and people hated me here even more than they do now......so I posted occasionally.....left after a time, then returned in 2003.
I remember you as a (well respected ) Mod on Mayhem ( the designations lol “ blathering idiot “ etc etc … I really wanted the one that said you were a national level competitor….  Can’t remember it’s name ) .. lots of Pros posted there  ( progress pics from Mat Duvall/ Fouad Abiad/ Rich Piana etc etc) no talk of steroids tho (was taboo back then!)

Yeah, Nov 98. Melvin was here before me though and a couple others I no longer remember.

I was on Muscle Mayhem, before that I was on Anabolex before the original one shut down. EliteFitness was my first, I've been on many others as well.

How I imagine the initial exchange went….

I was a mod there for several years.

Had to deal with all the gh15 nonsense too.

Back when the steroid board was pretty good here.

I can't remember what it was but it was steroid relatd and around 2010. I lurked a few years but think I have checked this site every day at least once since.

I liked the combination of funny shit, insider info and knowledge that you get here.

This place is a unicorn.

If you can wade through a little bullshit, you will find more real knowledge here than anywhere else in the BBing world.

That's why people hate this place too, because we openly discuss the dark side of this sport.
