It seems for the last year everytime you log on there is another topic specific board with another MOD. Its getting harder and hard to have normal conversation becuase everybody finds the board they like and spends the most time there. I used to talk to much more people on general topics but now there is a ton of topic boards and if the Mod there does not like you or your topic or the person your talking to it gets bumped and everybody starts pissing and moaning.
I would rather have one spot to talk to the bunch of you losers then have to bounce around. One of the best parts of this zoo is people are active and post. I post in a few different spots and sometime you do not see a response to something you post for days, at that point why bother.
WOW so we are rats in your grand experiment huh...:)
Before everybody piles on let me say your not the only one around here that has done that...YOu would be suprised how often it happens... ;D
I do agree with you about this being a online community, I have made some friends here that I have talked to in "real" life that I respect and admire and anybody who does not see this is sad to say blind.
Its not to far in the furture when there will be no difference between online and in life friends and social situations its already happening at a fast pace.
Well said AS!
Alex23 never understood it and I don't think he will, but I'll say this for anyone who cares to read and understand.
Getbig is a community. It's just an online one. In this community, people can only meet to share ideas.
Plus, it's free speech! Getbig is like The United States of America when you guys first declared independence with the most legendary bunch of people of them all - the founding fathers 8)
I wished to observe and study human nature (not behavior, which I couldn't - there's a huge difference) without doing years and years of University study cause it interests me as much as philosophy. Not to mention I got to post BS and get plenty of laughs in the process, which was the least important one of them all to me though. The friends I've made are easily the greatest value I've gotten out of this board.
So, I decided to try out a little experiment for which I was the perfect scientists cause I had zero prior experience with forums and therefore, had no preconceived notions about anything. I just saw what was the right thing to do and I simply did it, cause it was easy to do it as 'Kiwiol'.
I saw a land which was unoccupied and unused. I took it over with another person who humbles me with his character constantly. I didn't tell him (in fact, I told no one, although I did it all openly) that I had a secret aim.
My secret aim was very simple in it's nature / demands. I simply wished to see how political situations evolve in new communities first hand and like it's never been done before. I knew that this community would be perfect, not to mention I wished to see if political hierarchy is prioritied over self-esteem (Thankfully, it never happened). So I simply made use of the most famous gang here and made myself a gang member because of it, not to mention I'd be able to steer the board easier if I played a crucial role in my land's star attraction which I'd never be able to enjoy as much as I did from the other side that I could have easily done.
I was also cool with everyone of you guys. Before all this started, I knew more of you guys closely than anyone else out there (including you Danny boy - a lot of my friendships are deeper). The PMs that got posted were my Achilles heel, only because I know it destroyed the V as it was when people loved it (a couple of months ago). I never wished to reveal the real me all the time ;D and not ONE of you had a bad thing to say about me. And so much did I love and appreciate the minds and characters in this amazing community, that I was willing to simply let them keep going, even though I was starting to get bored of it cause I was yet to see the dark side.
And thanks to my getting a little excited about this thing that's happened to me, I wrote some PMs that I wanted only one person to see. That's when I knew I had a chance to test my own self, except it was like I was starting over and I could keep my integrity intact for once, unlike how I've lost it a few times in real life before :-\
If there was any mistake, I apologised publicly in the boards. If some of you guys were harassing someone too much, I PMed the offending party and told them to cool it a bit (and which I thank them for doing). And I did it all so secretly (well, for a while ;D) that no one knew that there was a common link among ALL V boarders - I'd like to see at least one of you guys (not the new ones) to say that I've never PMed you before and been polite and respectful before this all started.
And BTW,
I did all this not because I don't have a life outside work, but because I wanted a life during work where I had nothing to do, so I'd be free to live my real life outside work ;D.
I just got a lot more out of it as a result. You people think I'm insane and that's cool ;D - I know I'm crazy LOL, but I'm not insane :D
Anyway Alex, I'll tell you this much - this is the board where the 'politics' of Getbig between Getbiggers are sorted out. Alex you damn fool, I just created the first Parliament in Getbig, although it was only used by a few of it's citizens who loved it better than any other board (myself included). I just thought that if I put in enough work (which I was happy to do since I was getting paid at work to do all this ;D), I'd eventually have all Getbiggers come down here to resolve conflicts that would also make for a great show and that would leave other boards to thrive in peace as nearly all of them there wish it would.
It was just a little gift I threw Ron's way as a token of appreciation for trusting a nameless nobody like me with 1 of his boards which tells me he's a great and noble guy, not to mention I got so much enjoyment out of it.
Alex, do you now realise what it means to be mod? But of course you won't agree. Because guys like you and Davidpaul think that modding is about deleting posts or moving threads.
Alex, you are coming to the Parliament of Getbig and telling us to stop the politics! Go to the Players Club and chill with others who are too damn sensitive for the shit that gets slung around here. For Christ's sake man, you are telling us to stop insulting people (whom we weren't 'insulting' and who came down and stayed caused they loved it. And BTW, we were insulting our characters, not the real person behind the handle) in a fucking alphabet board that says plainly at the entrance that you're going to be insulted so you better be thickskinned or take your business elsewhere - what the hell's wrong with you? ;D
Go ahead and laugh at me saying I've lost my mind - I'm glad I did cause this new upgrade's damn better 8)
And sorry for the serious posts bitches. This thread is after all, serious ;)
And Alex, I never once bragged about anything!
How long did that one take you ???
You should know by now I'm good at whatever I care to do ;D
That post took me close to 6 minutes to type up. I'm a touch typist who dropped out of a 3 year course after I learnt everything that I needed after 1 month.
See NOW what I'm doing is bragging, although I don't care to brag, believe it or not!
A 3 year course? For like court reporters?
Mate, the greater the mind, the more it can get out of something.
At the lowest end of the spectrum, a street thug would steal another man's mobile phone, use it to call people till the owner had it stopped and then sell it for money that he'll use to buy drugs with.
On the other hand, there are people who fall in love via mobile phones (and yes, message boards! It was real in my mind and that's all that matters, cause 'we live in our minds and existence is the attempt to transform that life into physical reality, state it in gesture and form' - Ayn Rand), close multi-million dollar deals etc
AS, it's upto a person to get what they want out of a phone bro - like drugs or a life partner, just like it's upto a person to get what they want out of a message board.
'To a great mind, nothing is insignificant' - Sherlock Holmes
That's why I joined that course even though I had absolutely no intention of finishing it ;D
I do the exact same thing when I attempt to make a bitch come.How come when you use the word bitch it makes me laugh a little?? ;D
Kiwiol owns all you little bitches.
I do the exact same thing when I attempt to make a bitch come.
You should know by now I'm good at whatever I care to do ;DI type with 2 fingers that would have gotten posted by april 26th ;D thank god for

my secretary ;D
Now you're thinking mate! If you have a wife and she goes to work in the morning, she doesn't stop being real in your mind cause she's not in front of you, does she?
It doesn't matter than Jenny and I never saw each other or touch each other - we openly adored each other and even more via PMs. We are all human bro - we can't help but start having real feelings about people that you connect.
Hell, look at celebrities and the fans if you want an example. Why do the fans get so emotional and want to hug a star who didn't know they exist? Cause in the fan's mind, that's how high an image the idol has - that they are willing to put aside accepted norms of behavior in public, simply drop all their defences and often break down from the intensity of their emotions.
Would you say the fans are crazy for crying when they make eye contact with a star who awards them with a smile? Yes and no. Yes, because people hate you for displaying any strong emotion, esp. clean ones like love and admiration and No, because it's a genuine feeling that demands a release in some way.
I'd say that the craziest fans are the luckiest ones - they are able to feel and enjoy something so intensely, they let what is in their mind take precedence over political behavior.
Are you saying you use those 2 fingers on your secretary? ;DHahahahah good one pal nice to have you back,tell me with the new jacket the doctors gave you do you type with a
Does he work out? :D
ummm, I was just making a lame joke about not caring if whores come or not dude, you are getting way too philosophical for me, I gotta go, the V is too confusing anymore. :-\
But that's exactly what you shouldn't do!
If you are confused, just discuss it intelligently for God's sake ;D. We are all boys here and I'm not saying you should tell us all you secrets like an AA meeting or anything ;D, but you can feel free to discuss what confuses you.
Look Danny boy, if you don't like the thread, why not simply say that you'll read other threads? Why say you'll leave the board? After all, this is only 1 thread and I'm only 1 guy.
Do whatever you want to do 8)

Does this mean we're cool again bro?
Cause I'd damn well like us to be 8)
getbig doesnt have a place for intellectual discussion. i go to avant for that.
however, it seems like a few guys that post on the v have an iq over 130, beleive it or not.
Notice how we never had that problem before while I was modding? Do you think that was a coincidence?
I made the most noise about every new comer after sending them a welcome PM, just so everyone would either back or trash them, so they'd be part of the family in no time.
A mod's job shouldn't be about housekeeping at all, like merging/deleting threads etc. A mods job is to generate traffic for the board and a good mod will never lose a regular - they should only gain new ones. When your biggest intention is to get as many people to enjoy and you do a good job, the board will never die or go stale / dead.
Of course, there's an element of creative talent that you need to work into it 8)
well i don't like to brag, but... ;D
Hey man believe it or not, I'm in that club too :D
Well said AS!Arvin, since you became mod of the V its been nothing but ultra explicit homosexual fantasies. [you're the kind of guy ..... gayer than .... are you suggesting ....]. What does that say about the people that post here? According to Bay and Onemorerep you really are all gay. After all, what heterosexual man would spend months dreaming up ever more graphic gay fantasies? What is your explanation?
Alex23 never understood it and I don't think he will, but I'll say this for anyone who cares to read and understand.

IQ not blood alcohol limit... ;DFCUK UOY I NVERE DIRNK >:(
When did I ever tell any of you punks that you can only make gay jokes dude? I made them and so did Sars. I just gave it so much momentum, that everyone fell suit and followed. Hell, why not? They are the ones that cracked me up the most (esp. MoS).
You guys could have started just as many threads discussing music and porn or whatever. Hell, I actually gave you 4 different ideas as clues - jokes (that everyone can read and enjoy), Pictures (I liked to see those of girls. I wouldn't have complained if some of you posted basketball shoes), Some serious discussion thread as the fourth.
Most of you chose to make gay jokes ;D, which was actually the more bearable of the two, the other one of which was the group that kept whining that this board is nothing more than gay jokes ;D
I was only 1 guy. And I never ONCE said that the board will only follow the direction I chose. I always let posts insulting me (I've been insulted in every way possible :D) stay, rather than delete just to show you guys I was fair to everyone.
JUst to tip in, when your having a cyber fight what other ammo do you use? you call them gay or fat or small or short or stupid. it's not like there was a normal conversation going on and someone started calling people gay. The only time you saw that was when someone was already in some long term back and forth with somebody and followed you to another thread or board to continue to poke you. Shit look at the Y they have a ton of good topics (girls/car/bikes/ect) but what normally happens is someone starts pissing and the next thing you know a cyber fight breaks out and there are a ton of threads back and forth. You would think that from the amount of bitching about it around here that it was all gay poetry and dress talk with a big fat side of cock. It takes two people to have a conversation for fuck sake.meltdown ;D sorry bro
meltdown ;D sorry bro

Haha mate, that was exactly my point!
Nothing generates more intrest, intensity, tension and therefore, audience / fans / followers than conflict does.
In my case, thanks to the great Sarcasm, I already had everything started and established.
So I simply mentioned the word SQUAD everytime I could (The SQUAD actually translates in my mind as 'come check out the V' and stay and make it better and better), in the G&O and the Complaints (which are the only 2 other boards there that interest me vaguely). I made really good jokes and people started PMing me, saying they loved my joke and I sent them back an instant reply, inviting them to come try out the V for 1 week, even giving them the option of choosing whether they want to side with the SQUAD or against (bless those of you ;D), all of the time openly.
That's why activity picked up straightaway, at least 3 months after I took it over cause in those 3 months, I was busy networking and getting to know you guys and getting established and noticed, not to mention learn about the nature of the communication that's unique to message boards. Plus, I was learning how to write without going for a formal course. I don't think I've done a bad job TBH.
HA HA dan not a meltdown... ;D See Always sore=On point. ;D
