I don't have one.  He's a great guy, and  he kicked some serious ass in the Mr GetBig I.  I love to stir the pot with the adonis principles - I like the fact it's very possible that one can achieve great bodybuilding results using a little bit of junk in addition to the plain, safe foods.   I used to ask a lot of pointed questions because I wanted the most possible people to either prove, or disprove, the theory.

nah, OJ only had one glove.   And OJ wouldn't be able to compete in the Mr GetBig due to his upcoming well-deserved 15-year prison bid professional athlete status.

Decent mainstream physique ruined by horrible presentation.

But who made this website that Abeles is pimping?

Exclusive Sponsor!!!


Excuse me 240 but I believe I was first to put up any type of prizes for this event and quite honestly I don't appreciate being completely snubbed regardless of what prize money was put up by Progenex.  You should have had the decency to inform those who had already put up prizes of this change rather than simply throw others under the bridge. 


Fucked up, Rob.

Vince - Please contact CQ and Mindspin about this - I've been very clear from minute one that I was only the website guy on this project.  All prizes, sponsorship, judging, and every other aspect of the show has gone completely thru MS/CQ.  I only build the site, and place on it what I am told.  I got nothing but love for you Vince, and definitely don't want to diss you here.  I have no control over any aspect of the sponsorship this time.

"including face (you can wear glasses, wig, etc.), "

are we going to go throught this again, having the winner wearing some lame ass wig appearing in a major bodybuilding magazine, making the contest look foolish?. Didnt one of the editors of that magazine tell us we should have taken ourselves more seriously?.

I say if you cant show your face then just crop it out. no wigs or costumes.

That's right you built the website so you would have obviously known about having an exclusive sponsor for this event and yet I was kept in the dark when I had already put up prize money for the event so therefore I lose out basically on all advertising benefits.

Regardless of control, as a friend and client of yours, you should have told me about this personally.  I put up prize money for last year and this year before anyone else to get another Mr Getbig event started and that's not good business.  

If you were in my place you would see where I was coming from on that.

100% correct - 240 built the site only......all text etc came through MS and myself. Any calls or decisons made cannot be reflected on 240 at all, and he should not be blamed for any. 240 has done a *great* job on the site, for FREE, so much thanks to him on that.

Vince, as I just pm'ed you - I personally appreciate you and all the other sponsors last year as I am sure most getbiggers do as well. So thanks for that, to you and all the others, and again publically I extend my *personal* apologies to you and any other sponsors last year for any offence caused.

The decision to have a 'exclusive sponsor' was made by Mindspin, with the specific goal of getting a significant cash prize - which it did succeed in doing. In the end we achieved a $5,100 prize 'purse' which is great for a message board show. Perhaps Mind can address this situation and explain it better than I can.

If you were in my place you would see where I was coming from on that.

I apologize for any misunderstanding.  I referred all sponsorship info to MS/CQ from minute 1.  I made it very clear that I was not the sponsorship guy this time.  I had no knowledge of sponsor info until very recently, and even then, there is no way that I could have made any mention of sponsor info to anyone.  I had no right to do that.  Part of my job is discretion - I absolutely cannot speak on anything to do with the sponsor side, to anyone.  Nor the judges, the sponsors, etc.  When I"m building a website, my lips are absolutely sealed.  It's part of the contract.  

My job on this project was to create a website and post it on this date.  Any posts about any aspect of the show would have violated my contract.  Please contact CQ and MS on this one - I absolutely can't speak on it.

He was offered that actually, and refused and wanted all funds to go to the prize money and just did the site on basis of goodwill and being a long term 'getbigger' so just doing his bit...........hence why I do think he deserves major credit here.

OK so let me get this straight, no one is allowed to sponsor, contribute to the Mr. Getbig 2007?
  
That hardly seems in the spirit of how the contest came to be. It was a grass root phenomenon started by the members on this board. Some did more than others of course, but there was a lot of support by a lot of members. It was a community effort and now to have some company claim sole sponsorship taints it.

Mr. Getbig was about the underdog, about good sportsmanship and community involvement, not about selling out to some company we know nothing about.

How can we be sure there will be no selling out? 240 is a die hard republican, who knows what he will sell out for.

First off, I'm not aware of your company that you run.  If you have a web address, then I would love to see what you're talking about.  I've been running Caliber Fitness Solutions since 2001 so you have no room to talk.


Mindspin and others know that the reason there were so many sponsors in all last year was for advertising purposes from website links. 

To go around promoting the event and putting up prize money from the beginning for this event and then being shut out from it completely without being told is simply not cool 

Its good to have 5,000 dollar prize for the competitors but the problem is that now that Progenex is the exclusive sponsor, its now a corporate event rather than a grassroots event and if you look at last years prizes from the multiple sponsors, it pretty equals this prize if not better.


Now, I've really never heard of Progenex and there is no information about this company anywhere which really worries me as to what the hell they do as this obviously not a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION as 240 mentioned. 


And although 240 refused to accept funds, please realize folks that his business reaps from advertising his web design services so he'll make money from the event and obviously Mindspin problably got a cut for his efforts of kicking out all the other sponsors for one exclusive one.  So don't PM me about this again folks because I don't want to fucking hear it...... ::)


Good luck to all the competitors in the Mr Progenex contest.

Quick commet:

This is not a "corporate event" now that there is an exclusive sponsor.  Quite the opposite.  As you'll soon find out, the owner of the company will not be making a dime from the sales of its products.  I chose this company as the sponsor for that particular reason.  We actually had an opportunity to sign on numerous other sponsors, but chose not to.  Perhaps next year, we will open it to more sponsors, but I would prefer not to.  GetBig is a non commercial site, free of annoying banner ads, pop-ups, etc.  I hope it always stays that way.

So, basically  your answer to this "we had an opportunity to sign on with numerous sponsors but chose not to".

That's fine...however why is CQ and 240 stating and PMed me that YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE THE DECISION????  ::)


Who is this "we" Mindspin and why are you not giving any information on this company?????  I would like proof that this is a non-profit organization if the owner of this company isn't making a dime off the sale of products..... ::) 

And if this is the case, then where does the money from sales go to??  The Orange County Children's Hospital???  The United Way??  The International Association of Drunk Bastards (www.drunkbastards.com)...... 

Don't fucking try to ice skate up a hill with this shit,  Mindspin.  Answer the fucking questions because I've had enough of this twinkle toe bullshit for today

Tell you what "bro", if I can prove that the owner of Progenex will not make a dime from the sales of Progenex products, you delete your account and for ever go away.  If I can't, I'll write you a check for $1,000.  Deal?

Just to clarify, I responded to your pm's and stated nothing that either I nor Mindpsin had not stated in this thread actually:

The decision to have a 'exclusive sponsor' was made by Mindspin, with the specific goal of getting a significant cash prize - which it did succeed in doing. In the end we achieved a $5,100 prize 'purse' which is great for a message board show. Perhaps Mind can address this situation and explain it better than I can.

As you'll soon find out, the owner of the company will not be making a dime from the sales of its products.  I chose this company as the sponsor for that particular reason.

Tell you what "bro", if I can prove that the owner of Progenex will not make a dime from the sales of Progenex products, you delete your account and for ever go away.  If I can't, I'll write you a check for $1,000.  Deal?

BTW, the "we" refers to Ron & I.   

Hope that helps...

Oh great another useless "I bet you $1,000 dollars" response to avoid giving anyone any information whatsoever on the company..... ::)


Yemeni Mesa,  you are one sorry fucking piece of shit so quit trying to tap dance around the issue because you sure as fuck ain't no Gregory Hines.  You did this shit because they obviously gave you some money on the side. 



And CQ, don't fucking PM me about being "the secretary".   I don't wanna hear that shit.

Just to clarify, I responded to your pm's and stated nothing that either I nor Mindpsin had not stated in this thread actually:



 ::)

Sorry about that Vince, serious. I personally appreciate you and all the other sponsors last year, as I am sure most getbiggers do as well.

In fairness to Rob, he had nothing to do with that call and that call was made by Mindspin and was made to basically 'get' the $5,000 sponsorship.

Neverthess, please accpet my *personal* apologies for that Vince.....

Honestly Vince, I am just the 'secretary' here. I've done the writing/editing, liased with people, spoken to the judges to get their bio info etc, but I made no calls or decisions and can't make any now. Mindspin is the 'boss' as even the website says.

I would address your issues to him, but I will say to you my personal thanks for promoting the contest this and last year and donating prizes last year again.......

The great Venom Versace Vince has spoken!!!

The man does not care that Mindspin (oh brother, what a queer name)  was bought out by the corporations.  So what if Mindspin makes more during a trip to the bathroom than Vince does in a month??  The man can still be bought by a company eager to sponsor this worldwide event.  I mean, if they're ponying up 5,000 for Mr. Getbig, god knows how much they bribed Mindspin with??  50 dollars??  55?  60 even??1

The man wants the truth.  He wants to know why he can't sponsor a grassroots contest.  He doesn't care.  He'd rather have the top five get bee pollen (none of which he mailed last year either), rather than cash!!!

Ha ha, keep it real Vince!!

Vince has a thing or two to teach Mindspin about the supplement industry.  Mindspin worked for Met-RX, whoever the fuck that is.  This is Caliber Fitness Solutions brotha!!!

Ha ha, Mindspin got owned!!!

Thanks hedge.  I hope to not be flamed too brutally for my pics.  I'm leaner but I sure am not as lean as some of the guys have been in pics.  Many people say it, but I finally understand it... I'm only competing against myself.  I'm at about 175 pounds right now.   At 5 10, that's not a lot of muscle. Quite nervous about posting pics, but hey, such is life.  Had a sinus thing and have been off my feet for 4 days.  Lost a few pounds, actually I look a lot better dehydrated.  Should be a fun show.  I'm excited that someone from getbig is going to get a $2000 check.

mindspin, cq, whoever, why dont you just play the symantecs game like all big institiutions do that rely on donor money. Give progenix their "sponsor" status but allow some other companies to be "contributors", or "donors".

It would also be nice for members to be able to give 5 dollars to the  pot if they want to. give em a tote bag whatever. :D


But..Making it an exclusive progenix event does give it a corporate feel even if you say it doesnt. In a world where everywhere you look you see advertisements and corporate identity, you can understand why some of us feel a little disappointed that it has come to getbig. But I guess money talks.

Progenex could care less if it was exclusive or not.  We chose to limit it to one sponsor because we don't want this to turn into a free-for-all grab whatever sponsor throws money in.  Next year, we'll probably limit it to 4-5 select sponsors.  The prize money will at the least double...

My own observation here-

The goal was to deliver as much money as possible to the winner.  Last year, we were over 1000 but under 2000.  Much of it was products.  This year, Mindspin managed to get a guaranteed two thousand dollars to the top guy.  That's incredible.  It's a great thing.  He and CQ hustled like crazy and came up with a great prize package.

thats good to hear, either way all the business's should understand that it is the grass roots "little guy" (no pun inteneded) spirit that we want to preserve and if they want to promote that spirit and be identified by that then great, but if they are using it just for advertisement then they should look elsewhere.

I'll do you one better.  Effective now, Caliber Fitness and any other sham company that you are affiliated with, will never have an opportunity to be a part of a GetBig event.  :D


Sham Company???  Excuse me but I have published my business address, website, and products I sell.  How about Progenex. 


And the fact is if there wasn't folks like me who put up the prizes to even have a Mr Getbig, then there would never have been a Mr Getbig II, dumbass


And quite frankly, what good is it to even say that when you already shut everyone else out for this year...... ::) 

This isn't the Mr Getbig, its now a Progenex Contest.  Remember what comes around goes around and I'm not about that pimp hand.

I don't blame you Vince. You got fucked over bad. Threatening to hit a woman isn't cool, but you definitely got fucked over on this. I guess money is more important than the community here. Funny how Ron made this site and doesn't make money from it(that I know of), yet it is all about money lately. I am not just talking about the contest, but the constant spammers, kicking out the smaller sponsors who made the show what is was in the first place etc. That's why it is hard to put a few people in charge of an event and call it Mr. Getbig, this sure as hell doesn't seem like "Mr. Getbig" to me. 5 grand to turn your back on the people who make this place what it is? Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Seriously, Vince dropping out of the contest is the worst thing that could happen to it. If adding his name as a sponsor even though he only gave 100 bucks would keep him in it, I say do it. He is the biggest draw the contest has. Perhaps the biggest draw in the history of BBing messageboards. Have you heard of the Metrolina?

Gotta tell ya I agree with Goodrum on this one.  Mindspin has no idea what making this company the exclusive and not allowing any other type of exposure for the other companies.  If I was one of the sponsor I would simply pull out now. It will be great to see him grab sponsors next year after fucking the ones this year.  How many competitors are there.  Also, is the prize money going to be taxed.  Who pays it.  Does the company take out the taxes or are they having the competitors file a 1099.  Last years show was more promoted and had a bigger field and more hype.  It was great bringing in a bunch of different sponsors who were willing to take a chance on a contest never done before like this.

Good post.

Last years Mr Getbig had a real community feel, whereas this years contest is leaving many Getbiggers cold. The characters are what make this place great, and i'm sure everyone would rather guys like Vince were running the show - not corrupt 'businessmen' like Mindspin. It seems 'he' is trying to usurp the very essence of Getbig and turn it into a corporate schmoozefest. [whilst lining 'his' own pockets]

It pains me to even defend the woman beater, but the pm timing came basically as the thread about the website was launched, not before actually. About 8 hours before he started melting in this thread. I doubt he was ever planning to be in anyway, Vince is notorious for dropping out of things.

Why didn't Bast receive all his rewards from last year?

Because some sponsors, Vince is alleged to be one, did not send as they promised. This year all funds will be dispersed, that is 100% guaranteed..which is one way we feel we have made improvements.

There are claims that one of the person in charge of getbig is known for giving out people's personal information i.e phone numbers, home address, family info and so on. How can we keep their info safe?

What on earth are you guys talking about ???

First, this is a silly, on-line bodybuilding contest that started as a way for "key board warriors" to back up their bull shit on-line claims.  There was no prizes promised. The only reward was bragging rights.

Last year, 240 did a great job of finding sponsors to donate a shit load of product from various supplement companies. 

This year, we decided to step it up and give out cash instead of supplements, since that is what the competitors prefer.  We also decided to make it LESS corporate by having only ONE sponsor.  I can tell you right now, that I turned down over $20,000 IN CASH from other willing sponsors.  If this was now a "corporate" money making scheme, we'd be taking the money...wouldn't we?

No one was promised a chance to sponsor this year.  No has sent in any money, supplements, etc.  No one is out anything.

Ron, does not make a dime from any of this.  It's a contest for the board by the board.  The judges are board memebers.  The competitors are board memebrs.  The people who donated their time to put it together are board memebers.  And yes, the sponsor too is a board memeber

So, if you don't like it, quit your wining, start your own message board, and do your own on-line contest.  Or, STFU and be grateful that people are willing to do this FOR FREE, for your amusement.

I agree that I like the contest to stay a grass roots kind of thing and but I also see how difficult it is for the team, who dont do this full time, to make decisions about money and sponsorship..I think they were trying to do the right thing.

But you guys should be prepared to see the Mr. Getbig go commercial. I have seen this kind of thing happen a million times. I have seen great creative ideas, and cultural phenomenoms slowly reverse and become purely commercial enterpirses.


It is the American way. Everything is eventually for sale. The weird thing is how fast it happens now on the internet.

I think CQ answered your questions well.  Let me add some more.  The competitor's info is very safe.  I am the only one that will kow the adress of the winners.  We need to know that they are a real person just to ansure there are no gimmik accounts enetering.

There is no way of knowing if everyone is clean, unless they admitted to juicing on the boards.  Next year, the prize money will be higher.  For the top placers to collect their cash, we may require a test...we'll see.

There will probably be an extreme division next time around.  I would like to have the winner from the natural division go up against the winner from the extreme division and have the board vote on who should get a grand/overall prize.  Obviously, the criteria would be solely popularity.

I agree that I like the contest to stay a grass roots kind of thing and but I also see how difficult it is for the team, who dont do this full time, to make decisions about money and sponsorship..I think they were trying to do the right thing.

But you guys should be prepared to see the Mr. Getbig go commercial. I have seen this kind of thing happen a million times. I have seen great creative ideas, and cultural phenomenoms slowly reverse and become purely commercial enterpirses.


It is the American way. Everything is eventually for sale. The weird thing is how fast it happens now on the internet.

Honest question.  What would be your definition of going "commercial"?

Good job Mindspin and CQ for keeping the event a 'getbig' happening...

I think adressing the 'concerns' of those who are not in the contest should cease. You dont have to explain every little detail to onlookers.

Thanks bro.  Can't make all of the people happy all of the time...

well first it starts out as a community effort, very democratice very creative. It becomes popular with a small set of creative people. In order to keep it going the event takes some sponsorship from small business that are related to the event. The event grows and now larger companies with no real connection to the even want their identity there to target this niche group and broaden their market appeal. The large companies offer huge amounts of money and have pull in getting permits and stuff like that. The event organizeers get greedy and go for it.

Now there are exponentially more people coming to the event and now the companies want to cash in, so they first creat a myth around it through hyped advertising, start selling high ticket prices, expensive T' shirts, keychains, food, clothes whatever,

So now from going to an event that was free, where everyone was welcome and creativity was valued, it now has become a commercial enterprise, only welcoming to the people that can afford it. but at this point the original concept is lost, watered down.

But like I said its the American way.

Ron, does not make a dime from any of this.  It's a contest for the board by the board.  The judges are board memebers.  The competitors are board memebrs.  The people who donated their time to put it together are board memebers.  And yes, the sponsor too is a board memeber. 

So, if you don't like it, quit your wining, start your own message board, and do your own on-line contest.  Or, STFU and be grateful that people are willing to do this FOR FREE, for your amusement.

Quoting for the brutal honesty....

It pains me to even defend the woman beater, but the pm timing came basically as the thread about the website was launched, not before actually. About 8 hours before he started melting in this thread. I doubt he was ever planning to be in anyway, Vince is notorious for dropping out of things.

Because some sponsors, Vince is alleged to be one, did not send as they promised. This year all funds will be dispersed, that is 100% guaranteed..which is one way we feel we have made improvements.
Well speaking for myself, info is *over* 100% safe with me. That is beyond a fact.

We offered that division both years, check the threads and last years website....


Now you're accusing me of not sending out the prizes from last year????  You can start by asking the winner of last years event.  Everyone that 240 sent me addresses on got their prizes.  There has been no dispute otherwise other than Daddywaddy who didn't even send an address to 240 or me after repeated attempts to obtain it.      


Your stories are changing with each post.  You lied about me dropping out before the website is launched and now you're stating I didn't send out prizes for last year.

You see why I feel like slapping both you and Mindspin for???  You are committing slander and any other company would have sued your asses for that shit except the fact is both of you haven't got anything worth suing for.  

At least 240 had a valid reason and most importantly didn't try to discredit me when I asked questions about Progenex as we don't know anything about it or never heard of.

Showing old 2004 pictures of me and lying about me not giving prizes isn't going to make this go away.  You cheated the original sponsors by announcing an exclusive sponsor less than 2 weeks before the event when we were all running around promoting the event and not even telling anyone otherwise.  You even have the nerve to withhold very prevalent information on this company...at the very least an address where this company is at or etc.

Here is where I announced the prizes for this year in early May
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=148587.0


As far as actual signed agreement.  Prizes were voluntary from the sponsors.  If there needed to be a signed agreement, the forms could have been sent to my business address.  As far as some not paying prizes, I'm not one of them and I don't have control over what other companies do.  If it was an issue, then Mindspin should have brought that up rather than now using it as one of the many excuses we are hearing now for signing an exclusive agreement

My point however doesn't have to deal with prizes.  I was promoting this event since Early May and getting people to sign up and made the initial prize announcement and doubled it from last year and now two weeks before the event,

NOW ONE COMPANY NOW GETS ALL THE CREDIT, THE ADVERTISING BENEFITS, WITHOUT ANY VALID EXPLANATION TO THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED BUILD UP THE EVENT.  

Everyone knows that anything I'm involved in usually draws a big ass crowd and the fact is that I get more attention for just simply being me.  ALRI put up a 1000 prize and MHP put up a photo shoot agreement just to have me pose at the Olympia against Billy Guns......  ;D  Has any other NPC bodybuilder

I don't mean to be arrogant about it but no-one can possibly deny the fact that I'm a great draw of audience and crowd for the same reason they go see Mike Tyson or watch a news helicopter follow a fleeing suspect in a car.  Everyone expects some fucked up shit to go down.

You feel like slapping me as I guess I seem easy pickings :-\

Also, threats of suing me of all people are highly laughable. Apart from the fact that even attempting to sue me would be incredibly costly due to debatable international areas of application of US slander laws to non US nationals/residents, I am a national of an offshore tax haven hence none of my assets are liable for legal seizure by any US entity, a vital premise which forms the entire basis of our tax shelters/international investor appeal/economy ::)

Melvin is no stooge and those treating him like one will soon be owned. Something stinks in this matter and all this arguing is making it worse. Seems to me Goodrum has a point. He is a businessman and Getbig has diminished his enterprise and standing. If you read the thread from his point of view the guy is a victim; no doubt about that. Ethics is usually about someone getting hurt in some way. Whether it was unintentional doesn't change the immorality of the action. I clearly recall Caliber offering better prizes this year. So what gives? How does Goodrum get compensated? Maybe he will need his prepaid legal people afterall!

Melvin is right about the fact that he would have made the contest more interesting were he in it.

That's how there was a FIRST MR GETBIG, DUMBASS.  Everyone from different companies came together to make it happen.  There was no contracts or etc.  It was basically a grassroots effort with worked out great.



Mindspin took advantage of that to sign an exclusive sponsor and let every other sponsor promote and build up the event until the last minute.  Because there is no signed agreement, none of us can go and take legal action however it does unfortunately there will most likely never be another Mr Getbig, at least not in the sense of fairness and ethics.  

  
Simply look at last years website and then look at this years website and you'll see my point.  Looks like a commericalized Progenex sponsored event now rather than a Mr Getbig contest doesn't it.


Everyone knows I was running around promoting the event and this happens two weeks before the event.  Like I said, I'm not going to slap CQ but if I see Yemeni around, its not going to be pretty.  What comes around will go around and he'll reap what he sowed

Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on September 25, 2007, 09:16:23 AM
Gotta tell ya I agree with Goodrum on this one.  Mindspin has no idea what making this company the exclusive and not allowing any other type of exposure for the other companies.  If I was one of the sponsor I would simply pull out now. It will be great to see him grab sponsors next year after fucking the ones this year.  How many competitors are there.  Also, is the prize money going to be taxed.  Who pays it.  Does the company take out the taxes or are they having the competitors file a 1099.  Last years show was more promoted and had a bigger field and more hype.  It was great bringing in a bunch of different sponsors who were willing to take a chance on a contest never done before like this. 


We don't see eye to eye all the time but you understand from a promoter side of running bodybuilding show.  And by law, his actions void any involvement of me in this event because he did sign an exclusive agreement.   

But I learned my lesson.  Always have it in writing.

Vince - if Mindspin and CQ had willingly accepted your offer - I could see being upset.

They passed on small sponsors and accepted one large sponsor.  It guarantees that everyone in the show gets their money, and a lot more of it.  Last year, we had a real problem with some sponsors who didn't pay up as promised.  I wouldn't burn them, as it's just not good business sense, but some of them did not pay up.  We spent many hours chasing down prize money, having boxes and checks mailed to 6 different addresses.  It was a very messy process.

This time, Mindspin went in the direction of one sponsor, 5 large checks, and that is it.   As far as acutal cash, last year we had about 1000, I believe.  The rest was product credit, which is hard to collect and spend.

The competitors will appreciate checks of $2000, or $1200, or $1000, or whatever, far more than chasing down companies for the next 12 months.   For them, it's a win.

And again, I could see being upset, if Mindspin and CQ had said to you "We accept your sponsorship, Vince " but it was not the case.  If they had promised you the right to be a sponsor, I could see being pissed.  To me it just seems like MS decided to go with one big sponsor - and a big check for the winner - instead of multiples.  This was his choice.  Perhaps Mr GetBig 3 will be different, I do not know.  I was not involved in the decision making of Mr GB2.

Excellent post.

That is one good aspect about the one company sponsorship deal, am I the only one who recalls thread after thread from people last year saying they did not get their prizes etc?

Apart from the fact that I also had zero to do with making any sponsorship decisions, I can state that I was never contacted by Vince with an offer for sponsorship, not did I ever approach him to sponsor, nor accept an offer. The only communication between us was me thanking him for sponsoring last year - and since he himself posted my pm's in this thread which proves that fact, that is totally unrefutable.

Like MS already said, this is in the spirit of fun; a message board show, designed by board members, for the board members, with board members as competitors. It's all good, and the guys have 1 week left to get ready 8)

I think the creation of a "community board" made up of 10 or 12 getbig regulars from diversified backgrounds should be set up as part of the creative team that puts together MR. Getbig 3. That board will act collecitively as one voice representing the entire board as a whole.

I think you, CQ, Mindspin, Ron, should pass your ideas before them and see what their collective response is. You can weight their opinion as you wish but at least have their input.  The boards responsiblitiy would be to represent the members of getbig as best they can and to come to majority  decision on the issues presented to them.  At least getbig members will feel they have some representation.

Never a cause to threaten a woman IMO, but in this case Vince did not even have any justification to even be mad at me ::)

I think the creation of a "community board" made up of 10 or 12 getbig regulars from diversified backgrounds should be set up as part of the creative team that puts together MR. Getbig 3. That board will act collecitively as one voice representing the entire board as a whole.

I think you, CQ, Mindspin, Ron, should pass your ideas before them and see what their collective response is. You can weight their opinion as you wish but at least have their input.  The boards responsiblitiy would be to represent the members of getbig as best they can and to come to majority  decision on the issues presented to them.  At least getbig members will feel they have some representation.

I don't even know why I bother, as people are just bitching about everything thay can think of, but I will clarify anyway.

As far as input, we have an *entire* board dedicated to this show. For months we had thread after thread asking for input. We asked for judges nominations, ideas about rules, and new things to add or improvements to make last year. We totally and entirely spent months asking for suggestions, board approval, votes, posting our ideas and asking for feedback etc. Check the board, numerous threads exist stemming from months ago.

Most people choose *not* to offer any suggestions, but wait to the last minute and bitch up a storm.

Exactly. Like I have posted before, all the entrants are very happy with the prize money. What person in their right mind wants $100 worth of bee pollen and the 'magic stick' over $5,000 ::)

Post by: Vince G, CSN MFT on September 25, 2007, 02:49:00 PM
Vince - if Mindspin and CQ had willingly accepted your offer - I could see being upset.

They passed on small sponsors and accepted one large sponsor.  It guarantees that everyone in the show gets their money, and a lot more of it.  Last year, we had a real problem with some sponsors who didn't pay up as promised.  I wouldn't burn them, as it's just not good business sense, but some of them did not pay up.  We spent many hours chasing down prize money, having boxes and checks mailed to 6 different addresses.  It was a very messy process.

This time, Mindspin went in the direction of one sponsor, 5 large checks, and that is it.   As far as acutal cash, last year we had about 1000, I believe.  The rest was product credit, which is hard to collect and spend.

The competitors will appreciate checks of $2000, or $1200, or $1000, or whatever, far more than chasing down companies for the next 12 months.   For them, it's a win.

And again, I could see being upset, if Mindspin and CQ had said to you "We accept your sponsorship, Vince " but it was not the case.  If they had promised you the right to be a sponsor, I could see being pissed.  To me it just seems like MS decided to go with one big sponsor - and a big check for the winner - instead of multiples.  This was his choice.  Perhaps Mr GetBig 3 will be different, I do not know.  I was not involved in the decision making of Mr GB2. 





240, if I had known early on in May that there would have been an exclusive sponsor, then I would not have wasted any time promoting the event

However, there was no notification because obviously the deal wasn't secure at the time and we were basically used as a back-up plan if it didn't work out with this exclusive sponsor which is why Mindspin was not upfront about this matter because he was afraid that if this sponsor didn't agree, there would be no prize money whatsoever.

Its two weeks before the event and then we learn about an exclusive sponsor. 


Fact is, there was no respect shown to those who sponsored it last year and was going to sponsor it this year. 

In addition, if a company doesn't go through with prizes then it should be posted as to which companies.  Speaking on which, I find it completely fucked up that I was accused by CQ and Mindspin of not giving out the prizes from last year which is completely a bunch of bullshit.  I issued all prizes including the first place prize of 100 dollars in supplements.  Daddywaddy has sent no address over but he can still claim his bottle of Bee Pollen Tablets anytime. 


Even you 240 knows I issued the prizes and Phoun got his stuff despite withholding information that he was an WNBF pro bodybuilder.   


So, CQ and Mindspin.  Stop trying to put this shit on me and lying about me not issuing out the prizes from last year because that's bullshit and also lying about me pulling out of the event prior to the news.  Once I received notice of that, I sent back an PM and the time/date stamp confirms it.



Fact is there was no mention whatsoever of an exclusive sponsor until a few days before the show....end of story.  And even though my prizes were not 5000, at least I took a chance on this Mr Getbig to even come to light.  You can't build houses without foundations. 

Now I have better things to do such as promote the Guns Vs Goodrum event at the Mr Olympia which will be live on webcast.  There will be a press conference and then this great event will take place on Saturday.

It has been established already that you did not promote the event. It's a message board show for crying out loud, not some title boxing match here - you are not Don King.

Fact is, there was no respect shown to those who sponsored it last year and was going to sponsor it this year. 

Not sure what my earlier post in this thread thanking all sponsors of last year, including yourself - as well as both my pm's which you posted reiterating that point to you were then. I personally thanked you 3 times for sponsoring last year - and in return despite the fact I am female you *threaten to hit me* so perhaps you should learn respect, before you preach it to others.

Two false points.

I specifically stated you did not pull out prior to the news. I said you *allegedly* did not give out all prizes, and you yourself admit for whatever reason you are giving, that you did not forward to at least one winner. Mindspin never said anything whatsover about you giving out prizes.

I said you and Yemeni deserved to be pimp smacked for your actions.  Now, I would not actually hit a woman, I will smack ho's who basically lie about their intentions and that definition doesn't have to mean women.  Yeah you apologized via PM and then joked about it on a discussion board..... ::)

CQ, I'm not to hit youp physically...except with words

And saying allegedly is the same as accusing me of not issuing prizes so that .  And since I'm not telepathic, I certainly cannot send a package to a contestant who hasn't even submitted an address.  That's not withholding prizes CQ and you should apologize AGAIN for your slanderous comment


If I was all wrong and you were right, then why would you apologize for???  Its because you both knew you were wrong for pulling a stunt like this

My apology is clearly stated in this thread. I apologized for any offence you felt was caused to you. That simple.

Anyway, you are a lost cause, and my only intent was to show lurkers that you are not exactly stable, and that we as the organisers have done a reasonably good and fair job. That's done, and I am sure you will continue to melt all over this thread - so melt on 8)

I'm 100% on Goodrum's side in this fiasco. Who's idea was it to make the Mr Nobody Getbig a professional contest? That almost spoils the whole idea. Heck, they should have kept the tradition going from last year and have local sponsors instead of some mysterious person. Goodrum is rightfully pissed off at the whole disaster. Give the winners Bee Pollen tablets. I mean, where else can you win rare stuff like that? Those prizes put a sense of proportion and reality into the 'silly' contest. Tell the sponsor you don't need that money and reinstate Goodrum's pledge. I mean, Goodrum's gift is a real commitment from a guy living in a trailer and using disposable cameras to take his photos with.
