Getbig is the last of mohicans at this point.
The only other ones that still seem around are the more niche roid-centric ones, which get funded by labs. Pro muscle etc.

Great now well get another influx of tards.

Absolutely. Last bastion of free speech, brutal truths and witty banter on the internet.
Some legendary threads on BB.com like Dreamer bulk/Frog Tech.

My first ever board was Anabolic Extreme and then went onto many others.
Only just lurked here a few times in the 00’s.

As a refugee I concur. I thought the last refuge was sports sites, but I got banned from my last one after I implied Ukrainian culture is different from are's and no one gives a shit about race overthere.
I was defending Ukraine before it was cool.
My 2nd account got burned when I implied banning Russia from international competitions was woke nonsense.
-
Another one bites the dust. That forum completely sucked compared to Getbig anyway.
-
I think this is the only place I havent havent been banned from.
Twitter, FB, Forums, heck, even Youtube banned me for comments.. LOL... ::)

It's funny seeing how uptight everyone is on other forums and social media. Most people on Earth wouldn't last 1 day on here without completely melting down.

Sponsors demand banning for fear of offending customers.
They want bland, generic posts.
Getbig has no sponsors to offend.

We`re the last "men" standing! :D

Wow. BB.com came late to the game but became huge. That sucks. I love message forums.

Why are they closing them?

I'm probably alone here but Shawn Perrine's Iron Age site was the best. It stayed on topic about bodybuilding and the hostile lunatics weren't tolerated. Sometimes the moderation was too severe. Steroid talk whether for or against wasn't tolerated. Plenty of seriously knowledgeable lifters were on the site. I really miss it. I think the site was hacked and all the history of posts are gone. Then again Shawn might have nuked it when he got his job with Weider being the top dog there. Imagine running a little forum and being offered a top paying job to be the boss of a bunch of magazines? Saw Shawn on tv a bunch of times being interviewed about exercise. He became a friend of Arnold and many pros. By all accounts he was a great guy but he had no love for me I believe or perceive. He weighed about 165 if that and made outrageous claims in the gym like 400lbs benches and other claims. The 400lbs would be tie the raw world record around 1976 for his weight. I called him on it like saying please put up a video of you benching 315lbs raw. I know it was a scum bag thing for me to say. The reply was something like well now I train for endurance and the pump. He wouldn't engage with me ever after I doubted his lifting feats. I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. He claimed to be a natural and he had a ripped athletic physique. Then again many claim natural. If he was that was a fantastic physique. I shouldn't say anything negative of the dead, I know. Heard when he was dying in the hospital he always told every visitor that he loved them. He had no wife or kids. Sad ending and the amount of people that came out of the woodwork including Arnold and a who's who of the industry praised him after his death. Made me feel guilty about challenging his lifts. Who cares. Know what? Maybe he did do them. On that site too were bodybuilding stars and they weren't chased away. I talked to Viator there who was now very fat and I asked him about his health. He said he just had blood tests and everything came back perfect. He was dead of a heart attack a short time later.
On the other hand this board has a ton of laughs because of the knuckle heads here. I find it bizarre that no women are on this site but then again they might perceive it as a homosexual site. When this site stops being fun for me I will be gone and I won't look back. So far it still cracks me up.

Yes, we need to keep the borders closed.

I started out on a Christian bodybuilding forum ran by some Layne Norton types and eventually ended up here.
Bodybuilding.com forum started it's death spiral after some kid was egged on by forum members to suicide live on stream. Having said that just checked and that was in 2008! But it was pretty wild before that.

No, it sucked because of all the whiny members who got offended by every little thing.
Some good members but also a bunch of pussies on that forum.

That forum had a great run until the mods started getting jealous of viral miscers like Zyzz and Genova. They banned anyone who mentioned them.
Forums tend to go to shit when the mods start going on power trips.

I got banned from UK Muscle for trolling James Llewelyn when he started a prep thread
I only asked why he got up at 2am to eat a yoghurt.
Must have been 8 years ago
The admin bans me instantly now if I start an account and they know its me
Talk about a vendetta.

I used it many moons ago to recruit a troll army. Not the sharpest tacks but they did my bidding. Good night, fair minions.
-
There were signs it was going years ago. Little wars between mods, "Can't talk about" lists pertaining to steroids, certain people, etc.... Then the spambots came, and there'd be 5-6 pages of spam posts before you'd see a real thread. And the mods were powerless to stop those threads because they weren't at a certain privilege level.
We've got it good here fellas.

Had accounts on? 7 - Here, Misc.fitness.weights, Ironage, PowerandBulk, GoHeavy.com, LyleMcDonald(Monkey Island), WLForums, but I read maybe 3x that a week sometimes in my 20s, early 30s. But, to be fair, many were powerlifting, etc.... forums that you could read a week's worth of posts in 10-15 minutes.
I never stayed around heavily moderated forums. The minute a mod started screeching about staying on topic, etc.... I usually left. I like an easy going, meandering style to conversation.

pity it's out
i agree,... it was good when it started over there at least... solid sources like strango, golden.. lots of legit members too.
-
I remember back around the early 2010s or so there was a little redhead guy - John Browne or something like that - that used to rile the whole place up with his training advices and attitude, that was mildly amusing for a little while.
Can't recall the last time I visited that site

Did you really meet up with that stupid fat cunt “natty Stevo” and tell him he looked great like he claimed ?
It was the “he looked great” but that made me doubt his story as thought Jeffley would never say thst haha

Most are long gone - WLForums was only busy around the Olympics or big contests. GoHeavy was good, but it was an ugly gray board that got passed by when forums like Getbig got popular. Ironage died a slow death of constantly being down, PowerandBulk died that way too. Lyle's board was great because it was semi-secret, so gossip would wind up there, but he stopped wanting to mod it.
------------------
Misc.fitness.weights was the closest to this board. It was an old interface, so things would go to your email or newsreader, so it was a pain in the ass. But that also meant that there was little to no moderation. If people didn't like your post, you'd just wind up with 90 posts telling you to fuck your mother or similar usually.
It was great though because the internet was new to most people, so lots didn't care about image. Mentzer, Titus, Sepe, Pat Arnold, Dan Duchaine, Nicole Bass, Andrulla Blanchette, etc... all showed up there at points and melted down, dropped gossip, etc....
Also you had the ability to cross post to other groups. So a schmoe poster from alt.amazon.women-admirers, a gay poster from soc.motss, a fat poster from Alt.fat.acceptance, and then some oddball group like misc.survivalism could all wind up there. It lead to some wild fights.
Alas it died in the early 2000s more or less when modern forums came into being.

intensemuscle (aka perma bulker central), pro-m, MD, getbig, bodybuilding.com.
I only login to getbig now. The other places treat lifting too seriously, and I wasted too much time in my life reading word salads about something which is as simple as lift consistently + eat high protein and sensibly x genetics + the dose of peds your comfortable with.

Perine sold the board to Bob Scalise and maybe another guy, and it then it just folded. They lost some money on that one.
After the hack and when they brought it back up, it just wasn't the same...
Shawns claim was ridiculous. He said at age 16 weighing like 140, he benched 405.
It was probably the most outrageous claim I've ever read...
He did see like a decent guy though (that nonsense aside)...

How did they lose money? The template for that site was something like $350 a year to use it? All the posts were lost. The bench claim wasn't the only strength claim that was outrageous.

That explains the change. I remember they started asking for donations one day and it wasn't exacly subtle. But I had maybe 5 posts there so I just went away.
I'd guess they just milked it for whatever they could get and pulled the plug. So much for 'rebuilding Gold's Gym' whatever the hell that meant.

I suspect someone paid Perine to close Ironage. Same motive here on Getbig where pre 2005 posts have disappeared. Now who has money and influence to do that? Someone didn’t want stories and information out there. By the way, Ironage eventually sucked big time when solid posters were given the boot for no reason.
-
Oh please don't tell me the misc is gone forever, that would suck, this site is alright, but the misc was legendary, just another level

I doubt it's Chick, who managed to get sergiopump banned, because Chick doesn't really have much money and his influence is questionable at best.

Not being able to talk about steroids on a bodybuilding site is like not talking about tits on a porn site.

Can someone explain to me why the misc died?
A few things -
It got too popular. Lots of new blood, but the new blood wasn't funny or fun.
A move toward over moderation. After awhile, there were more forbidden topics, etc....
The popularity brought spammers, and they were just killing all the boards there, but especially the Misc.
New owners trying to make money. Misc was super popular, but it was also known as a savage board outside of bodybuilding. The kid that killed himself, Elliot Rodger, etc..... all got attached to the Misc forum. It was bad optics for the owners. The Delucas ramped up the moderation a bit, but it got way worse under each generation of newer owners.
A few years ago, they hid the forum from general view. They claimed it was to cut down on spam, but really it just seemed like a way to get rid of it. I'm not sure if it ever came back after that.

Nice job Ron. We keep the riff - raff out, and manage to have a free and open discussion. Long live GETBIG!!!
-
Not being able to talk about steroids on a bodybuilding site is like not talking about tits on a porn site.
Stop it. You are not allowed to make sense on getbig. Get with the program.

How did they lose money? The template for that site was something like $350 a year to use it? All the posts were lost. The bench claim wasn't the only strength claim that was outrageous.
Because they paid Perine for a board that went under and folded like a year later... Waste of money...
-
I suspect someone paid Perine to close Ironage. Same motive here on Getbig where pre 2005 posts have disappeared. Now who has money and influence to do that? Someone didn’t want stories and information out there. By the way, Ironage eventually sucked big time when solid posters were given the boot for no reason.
Think Ron reset the board around then (edit: actually, think that was around 2003)
He always used to trim threads though, to keep the DB bloat down.
-
They posted hanky's rap sheet so he had his lawyers shut them down.

My favourite bad movie ever.
Someone pointed out that the Eath government are basically a take on nazis and that kinda made the movie even better.

I love that movie.
The book is good too although quite different from the movie as is usually the case.
Heinlein had some strong opinions about politics which are in the book.

A few things -
It got too popular. Lots of new blood, but the new blood wasn't funny or fun.
A move toward over moderation. After awhile, there were more forbidden topics, etc....
The popularity brought spammers, and they were just killing all the boards there, but especially the Misc.
New owners trying to make money. Misc was super popular, but it was also known as a savage board outside of bodybuilding. The kid that killed himself, Elliot Rodger, etc..... all got attached to the Misc forum. It was bad optics for the owners. The Delucas ramped up the moderation a bit, but it got way worse under each generation of newer owners.
A few years ago, they hid the forum from general view. They claimed it was to cut down on spam, but really it just seemed like a way to get rid of it. I'm not sure if it ever came back after that.
Tbh this sucks, it was easily the best forum ever, I wouldn't even call it a ''bodybuilding'' forum, they almost always talked about anything except bodybuilding. I guess it's a friendly reminder that everything comes to an end. MD died too, all I have now is this site, and maybe I'll find some other forums

Clearly I need to get me some Heinlein - confess my Sci-Fi/Sci-Fantasy has been pretty Brit-centric to this point (not exclusively)
That book seems a bit pricey though - I'm seeing £30 and up - is it worth it..? Hard Q to answer of course, but I've done Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury, etc.

According to bb.com they're supposed to be working on it and are redoing everything. We're refugees on another forum right now until they fix it though. Sadly lately the misc is full of non-lifting, mentally ill trolls anyway that suck the fun out of it.

Do you have a 50 yearold whose only source of income is an allowance from his mum yet considers himself a true alpha male?
Do you have a 44 yearold man who wears his wifes thong (after claiming he would never get married again) and posts side by side pics of both their asses asking "who wore it better"?
Do you have an obese alcoholic who has never worked out, fake his death and then suck a cock for attention?
Did you have a guy who posted daily for like 10 years, always nice and always positive to everyone just to grift a couple of bucks from forum members?
Do you have a straight heterosexual man that sends unsolicited videos of himself jerking off and shooting his load to an elderly homosexual man just so he would validate that he has a 6.45" cock and big loads?
This stuff might seem a little far fetched, but honestly it's just the tip of iceberg. THE TIP!

Not sure on the first or second one lol but we do have a member that faked cancer for donations, and a fat guy who's never lifted that did a jerking off video on pornhub, dudes that post their dink out of nowhere, extremely mentally ill people that make thousands of insane liberal alts that I can't even describe, and a bunch of what can only be described as non-lifting gay Indians. Chit really went downhill with an influx of redditors and the other trolls I can only imagine are just undercover schmoes.

Think we've only had one guy post his dink on here and that was years ago. It was a legit 9 incher (no homo) so it's understandable that no one else has bothered posting theirs since. Same guy was also like a 6ft4 adonis and is now an obese paint huffer.
I think if someone tried to ask for cancer donations on here they'd be told to fuck off and die already.
Very few Indians find their way on here thankfully, but for some reason this site is popular with bisexual latino men. It rarely gets brigaded but the last time it happened 2 guys who swore they weren't schomes started posting about Mark Dugdale and loved all the pics of him in tight posing trunks. They got outted as members of a large penis support forum.

Was that Johnny? I remember him, sevatese, true adonis, vince g, the unfortunate dude in the gay bunny suit, and some others. This forum used to really bring the lol's.

Yes. He posts as Marty Champs now although some think someone else is running that account.
Sev got banned, forgot why. True adonis banned for creepy comments about 16/17 year old girls. Vince G is now a famous youtube celery, but he still occasionally posts. Gay bunny suit guy went chasing the bug, got the aids and now tries to moonlights as a knowledge bodybuilder on another forum. He is also like a youth mentor or teacher or something. Married a black woman too :D

The only time I went onto other bb forums was to see what they were saying about GetBig. I remember that the Squadfather owning (by Derek Anthony) had several threads.
The only other two I remember was some ugly slope chick at a car show, and pics with some grungy ROTC dude marrying a land whale and her fat bridesmaids .

Believe it or not, I ended up being a moderator over at Muscular Development forums. I started out just on the music board, serenading the bodybuilding masses, but I received a massive promotion to be able to have global mod control over all of the forums. I only told Onemorerep that I had that capability at the time.
I couldn't put my life in jeopardy and have the possibility of such power to get into the wrong hands. I'm only saying something now because the forums don't exist there anymore.
I've literally reached the pinnacle of bodybuilding success.

Now you're making shit up for attention as I know the MD mod team fairly well.
They give you mod status in the dead music section that only you posted in because you asked them, as a couple of people would troll you. At no point did it extend beyond that.

No you just think you did because your name showed up with the other Mods. One of the forum members, a Brit named George even asked who the fuck is Shizzo and Ron (Harris) explained the situation, just like I did.

No, again I started off just on the music board, but by the end I had global mod capabilities. I'm not an idiot. When I could go into the No Bull, main board, I had the option to edit anything I wanted. It wasn't by mistake.
Other mods who didn't have those capabilities, only showed as mods in their respective forums. My name stayed in red and it said "moderator" under my name, no matter what forum I was posting in. I know what being a global moderator is.
Like I said, I never mentioned it publicly at the time, because I knew guys would go over there to cause trouble. It wasn't a big deal at all. But it is indeed the truth.

ARSE was probably halfway legit for a long time. He didn't let truth get in the way of a good story, but he appeared to have some verifiable bona fides in military Judo competitions and natural athletic ability.
Then he let drugs take his soul instead of just living with a low mood for a few weeks until his dopamine reset. I expect his current address is a tent, he's burned every bridge he ever had, nothing is his fault, and everyone sucks but him.
Just stop with the fucking drugs, Steve. It might be hard but it ain't that complicated. You're the only one who can do it and we don't need to know how it's going. Either you have what it takes all by yourself or you don't.

With a name like Arse, too bad he couldn't get his act together to talent scout for Kwongirls.com booty emporium.
-
Misc is still dead as a doornail.
-
Maybe one of the reasons most forums are dying is because their most knowledgeable and entertaining posters end up on Youtube, IG, discord etc. So instead of just posting stuff for free they can try monetise their output.
Getbig doesn't have that problem as we don't need any monetization. We're all millionaires.

My first ever board was Anabolic Extreme and then went onto many others.
Only just lurked here a few times in the 00’s.
Anabolic Extreme was a good one
