good work Rob.

Good job!!

Nicely done 240 or Bust.
Perhaps you could come clean on your affiliation with Adam Abeles now?

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.

Great job 240, just one question: Are those OJ's leather gloves on your home page ? ;)

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.

Great job on the website. I reviewed the '06 Mr. GetBig pics and my only question is where did Daddywhatever "learn" to pose?
Decent mainstream physique ruined by horrible presentation.

Cool. BTW, great job on hanging in there. I give you great respect for actually doing the contest.
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.

Return this one to the fields. He is unsuitable for the house.

"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.

HAHAHA, remember that spoof site where his head was photoshopped onto 500lb women, he was the original delusional forum member, without whom none of the clowns who post here today would exist(maybe)

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.
-

I agree.
And give him 20 lashes for being "uppity". ;D

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.

His $300 should come out of the prize money.

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.
-
His $300 should come out of the prize money.
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.

The *real* work on the website hasn't started yet.
The real work comes when I have 24 hours to create all 8 pose galleries with popup image for all 10-15 athletes. :)
-
Getbig will not tolerate any busting of 240's balls. He has given much and deserves our gratitude. Thanks 240.
Regularly scheduled ball busting will resume on the 8th of Oct.

Sounds like a conflict of interest, you knowing photoshop and in charge of your competitor's photos? Wait, we've seen your sites you don't know photoshop well enough to help anyone's photos. I date midgets.

Top notch work Rob! Are you going to put a "hit counter" on the site to guage it's interest/popularity?

have you though of a free rate me script?
Or a good gallery, so it would be easier for you to upload?

Simmer down Vince, I contacted Mindspin as well about contributing, do I feel snubbed? Of course not.
Maybe next year. Unlike you I was contributing real supplements as opposed to Magic Dip Sticks, Bee pollen and acidophillus

did anyone actually recive this bee pollen crap? ;D ;D

Awesome Rob! You guys REALLY pulled it together this year - you, Mindspin, CQ!! Very impressive! ;D
-
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.

If adding 5100 bucks to a contest where there was no money involved is 'tainting' then taint away... the $$$ is much appreciated!!

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.
-
Vince, it doesnt matter, nobody would buy your products anyway. You are the representative for your company, and you have done a terrible job. Nobody wants your bee pollen. What are you gonna do about those lactating nipples you got there?

Please shut the fuck up because you obviously don't make decisions for the company.

Yea. So ha! Vince is the A-1 top nizzle in da hizzle!
-
Vince G. has a point; it's more like the "Progenix Classic" now. It would be a different story if the sponsorship arrangement wasn't exclusive.
-
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.
-
Nice work 240. Hope you kick ass in the contest.

::)
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

You think I give a rat's ass if you've had enough ::)
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...

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

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.

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.

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.......

Not this time. This is a business matter but I may have to raise my pimp hand if I ever see these clowns on the street.
BTW, anyone else other then Yemeni Mesa or CQ want to lie some more??? Rob is actually the only one who has a somewhat valid reason even though I'm still not impressed.

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!!!
-
240 or Bust, awesome job on the website. Great, great job.
Nothing but respect from me, and nothing but my best wishes in the last few days.

And CQ, don't fucking PM me about being "the secretary". I don't wanna hear that shit.
You pm'ed me Vince so I replied, and that is what I said to reply to your 2nd pm to explain that continually pm'ing me is fruitless as guess what.......
I'm just the secretary ;D
[Also not sure what the point is posting my pm's? I only reiterated what I already said in the thread/replying to you. Hardly earthshattering ::)]

Feel free to address such things to Yemeni I am sure he can more than handle himself, but I quite hope and assume that was *not* addressed to me.

No, you fucking lied like the bitch you are. Like I said, if I see either one of you at the Olympia or on the streets then you better run like Tina Turner did.

It is sad you were in on this shit. And being 5' 3 don't make no difference. That hand will just have to swing low
-
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.
When did I say ANY company was a non-profit company?

It's amazing how many wack jobs there is in this place ::)
The information will be revealed in due time...through an interview with Ron. You'll know who owns the company. Why he is choosing to not make money from it. Where the money will be going. And all sorts of other interesting info.
My offer still stands...a real easy way for you to make $1,000...I'm guessing that's 2-3 times your monthly net income.
BTW, we all know this whole meltdown is an excuse to pull out of the contest...isn't it. :-\
-
No, you fucking lied like the bitch you are. Like I said, if I see either one of you at the Olympia or on the streets then you better run like Tina Turner did.

240 or Bust, awesome job on the website. Great, great job.
Nothing but respect from me, and nothing but my best wishes in the last few days.
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.
-

The information will be revealed in due time...through an interview with Ron. You'll know who owns the company. Why he is choosing to not make money from it. Where the money will be going. And all sorts of other interesting info.
My offer still stands...a real easy way for you to make $1,000...I'm guessing that's 2-3 times your monthly net income.
BTW, we all know this whole meltdown is an excuse to pull out of the contest...isn't it. :-\
Oh wait a minute... now you still want to participate after pulling this shit???? Get the fuck out of here. Like I said If I see you, Yemeni its smack smack for your jaw. Hope I made myself crystal clear
-
No, you fucking lied like the bitch you are
now you fucking crossed the line >:(
you better apologise very fast you fucking piece of shit
-

hahaha, i'm sure he's terrified. ::)

Ron has $300 to his name??? :o :o :o

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...
-
It is sad you were in on this shit. And being 5' 3 don't make no difference. That hand will just have to swing low
Stay classy, Vince. ::)

Exactly, that's what this whole issue is about to begin with and Mindspin is running circle around the issues.
We should know something about this company other than the fucking name and he's playing this "bet you 1,000 dollars shit with me".
Good job Mindspin lining your pockets. Remember....smack smack
-

ROTFLOL!
-
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.
-
Yemeni, why don't you ban that son of a bitch
he is threatening my getbig wife
-
It is sad you were in on this shit. And being 5' 3 don't make no difference. That hand will just have to swing low
To repeatedly threaten me with the full knowledge I am female, is really *not* cool - message board or not :-\
For no good reason also may I add......Mind said the decision was made by him many times. Keep your threats to him plz.
-
Stay classy, Vince. ::)
Alright, I won't slap the shit out of CQ. But your secretary ass better stick to typing and answering phones
I'll leave the smacking to the little bitch Yemeni who obviously isn't being upfront with people
-
Alright, I won't slap CQ. I'll leave the smacking to the little bitch Yemeni who lined his pockets
Do you have evidence that Mindspin lined his pockets?
Or are you just talking out of your ass? ;)
-
Alright, I won't slap CQ. I'll leave the smacking to the little bitch Yemeni who lined his pockets
For the reccord, Progenex is not a client of mine. I am not employed by them. I do not profit in ANY way from the sales of their products.
Vince, how many females have you "slaped" in you life? Just curious...
-
now you fucking crossed the line >:(
you better apologise very fast you fucking piece of shit
Uummm.....No.

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.
-
No, you fucking lied like the bitch you are. Like I said, if I see either one of you at the Olympia or on the streets then you better run like Tina Turner did.
Dude, shut the fvck up. Your an obnoxious jackass ! >:(

The number of ho's I've slapped is none your concern. Remember that the definition of ho's isn't relagated to the female species. For example, you are a Progenex ho. Therefore you would be entitled to receive the pimp smack. If I see you, then you can count yourself as one, Yemeni
And stop giving me this shit. You have basically elected an exclusive sponsor spitting in the face of other sponsors who put up money this year and last year and all we know is a fucking name and no number, no website, or etc???
Yemeni Mesa, stop bullshitting and start answering

Vince you obviously did not learn anything about non-violent protesting from Martin Luther King. What happened to civil disobedience?...why dont you go on a starvation diet until progenix is removed...
or chaining yourself to the front doors of progenex until you are allowed to sponsor the event.
-
Uummm.....No.
Vince, can you stop posting for a minute, I've been calling Caliberfitnnes (to order my monthly supply of bee pollen )for the last 10 min and nobody answer the phone , please Vince ,customers first >:(

Ban the fucker, he crossed the line many times in this thread

Yawn...
Don't worry, when I see you that pimp smack will wake your silly ass up. You are one fucking piece of work pulling some shit like this and then announcing it days before the event takes place.
You're a marked man, boy. That's all I have to say. If I ever run into you, you better run.
-
Alright, I won't slap the shit out of CQ. But your secretary ass better stick to typing and answering phones
Hate to sound like some 'getbig cage fighter' here... I make no pretense I can defend myself againest a man, I know I can't....
That said, it is not like I fear you either.....the day you roll up and slap me or any other woman at the Olympia as you threatened, is the day tons of male bystanders jump in and kick you into oblivion. Most men have an aversion to women being beaten, shame you don't.
Sorry to rant here ppl, but I don't take kindly to working my ass off for the Mr. Getbig then having some guy threaten me with violence over it. Online or not, poor poor form :-\
-

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

How the fuck can you expect any sort of positive relationship or sales when you post unprofessional, whiney crap on the boards here with your "cracka" attitude .. business ethic 101 - take that class - you lying sack of shit.

There should be a banner on this website that reads: Ignore the Cock Sucking Nobody, and he will go away.

It would be pretty cool if Vince won the whole show and burned the 2000 dollars in protest of this injustice!

He is one of the few entrants who are bona fide competitors. You ever hear of the Metrolina? Smart money is on Vince to win it all 8)

I suggest we all get ready to search Youtube under the heading................. ...
"Crazy stealth looking gay dude gets ass kicked at Olympia, found later crying like a baby in disabled toilets with Bee Pollen in ass"
Can't wait ;D
Oh and yeah lamest excuse for pulling out of a contest ever, chickenshit >:(.
-
We have a right to know if we're dealing with a complete pussy here or a man who carries through on his promises.
Vince, are you going to do the MGBII or not?
-
I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING!!!!
Vince is inventing this controversy here so that he can back out of competing in the Mr GetBig!
-
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.
-
This thread is too long to read, can anyone tell me why Caliber fitness could not be mentioned on the Mr. Getbig page?
-
Oh, the woman beater already pm'ed me earlier today before all this happened and said he was dropping out......I struck him off the list about 8 hours ago when he told me.
-
Vince, are you going to do the MGBII or not?
Bump for a straight answer. Speak up Vince.
-
Oh, the woman beater already pm'ed me a short while before all this happened and said he was dropping out......I struck him off the list about 8 hours ago when he told me.
HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
oh man that's funny. "Munzer like conditioning"
Vince isn't gonna recover from this one. It's over. His reputation will be destroyed.
-
This thread is too long to read, can anyone tell me why Caliber fitness could not be mentioned on the Mr. Getbig page?
there will be only one sponsor this year progenex, they have it exclusivley...apparantly Ron willl explain at a later date.

Oh, the woman beater already pm'ed me earlier today before all this happened and said he was dropping out......I struck him off the list about 8 hours ago when he told me.
That sucks. He was the biggest draw for the show. :(

Hahahaha nice one CQ, yeah he knew he was gona get his ass whooped and wasn't man enough to hang in there, real tough guy.
Oh and Vince just because your boyfriend beats you doesn't mean you have to take it out on others, just seek help man 8).
-
And a non-profit organization cares if another sponsor is mentioned? I don't buy it.
a ha!, we didnt know it was non-profit...so that is the reason for the exclusive deal. We all thought it was some lame supplement company.
seems strange that they would care, but I guess Ron will explain at some point.
-

Lying again aren't you??? Not that it matters but people will see me live on webcast in a few days for the ALRI Guns Vs Goodrum Posedown....a contest that was properly arranged. There will be millions and millions of pictures flooding the boards soon including tommorrow pre-contest pictures.
Now shut the hell up in having the nerve to ask me if I'm going to still participate in this event when you already know the reason
-
That sucks. He was the biggest draw for the show. :(
Because I was promoting the event up until the point where Mindspin decided to stab the other sponsors in the back. I'm not the only one complaining...I'm just the loudest one
-

No, it is a non-profit organization. Why diss Vince when he was the first to sponsor the show?

You've completely lost it.

-

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.
-
If Vince does the show as promised, he'll save face and have a platform for his grievances. Until then, he's a scared fat man looking for a way to bail out.
-
240, nice work with the site, it looks good.
Chris
-
BTW, we all know this whole meltdown is an excuse to pull out of the contest...isn't it. :-\
Seems so. Trying to get banned, it appears, FAST.
-

He won't get banned for this. He was done wrong, he just over reacted. Plus I think he will do the contest, he has trained too hard to drop out. You ever hear of the Metrolina?
-
240, nice work with the site, it looks good.
Chris
thanks man. You have any new deadlifting videos? I actually used one of your clips for motivation and form, til I lost the link.
-
Props to everyone involved. Mr. Getbig has been imitated but never duplicated. The bar has been raised agian.
-
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.
And Vince G, CSN MFT would OBVIOUSLY not take part in such a competition.
Now I get it. Clever.
-
Desperate, actually.

I have always been here.....inspiring the masses....it is good to be remembered so fondly.
Adam lives!

Can't blame you for trying.
-
Appreciate the effort, Danielson, but dude found his out.
Can't blame you for trying.
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?
-
Have you heard of the Metrolina?
Have I? Come on, bro! Did John Paul shit in the woods?
I stand corrected.
-
Have I? Come on, bro! Did John Paul shit in the woods?
I stand corrected.
Now, would you have heard of it had it not been for Vince? See my point? He was the draw for the contest, always was. Remember when he competed and we waited for days for pics of him? Well, we had him all to ourselves, in his best condition ever for once. I for one would rather see Vince compete than see someone win 2 grand(sorry I am just being honest). Vince, I hope you are home I am gonna give you a holla, I have an idea.
-
Let's just hope he can find it in his heart to forgive those bullies what cut him outta the gig. Let us hope, too, that his "pimp slap" promises were only his way of saying, 'I'm hurt, yo.'
'Cause no one wants that.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine?
I try not to. Vince was a pro Rass'ler ya know? He is no pussy by any means.

Chuck Norris wears Vince G, CSN MFT pajamas.

I heard that as well. At any rate, I hope Vince still enters for his fans. After all, we didn't fuck him over, so he shouldn't take it out on us :-\

Nope. I want to hit 700 lbs + totally raw first.

That's really the bottom line here.
Vince does the show, or this whole thing is just a BS stunt by him to get out of it.
-

Just another in a long line of vince hoaxes to get attention.
He started this argument for attention. He backed out via PM to CQ BEFORE the website was even announced today.
This was his excuse to try to save face. He's a joke.
-
Why didn't Bast receive all his rewards from last year?
How safe is the competitors information?
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?
Why is this the second year that there is no steroid division? Natural and non natural should compete in the same category.
How do you know that everybody is "clean" for a year? Thats why I say just let everybody compete.

Obviously no one wants to see Vince upset. That could get ugly.

Holy ficking shiat. Funniest thing I've seen all year...LOL!!!
Lots of good questions on this thread. I'll try to answer most tomorrow. For now, I will say that it was Ron & I that decided to have just one sponsor this year NOT PROGENEX. As you'll soon learn, this company's owner could care less about profiting from product sales.
-
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.
-
Yep, Goodrum was duped by unethical shit. Everyone can see that. Clandestine crap shouldn't be associated with a contest like this. Heck, those organizers conspired to piss Goodrum off so he would drop out and not easily win this show.
The enterprise has to be seen to be fair dinkum. Goodrum has a case and is rightfully upset at the whole shebang.

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]

You of all people should be able to tell that this is just a scheme Vince cooked up to duck out of competing.
-
Hi Adam, your the original message board legend
It is nice to be back. Glad to see ol' Vince has carried the torch.
Perhaps he could work for Muscle Canada once Caliber collapses after his meltdown. I have started a new nutritional line called "Pimp, Cracka & Ho-listic".
-

He started this argument for attention. He backed out via PM to CQ BEFORE the website was even announced today.
This was his excuse to try to save face. He's a joke.
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.
How safe is the competitors information?
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?
Well speaking for myself, info is *over* 100% safe with me. That is beyond a fact.
Why is this the second year that there is no steroid division?
We offered that division both years, check the threads and last years website....
-
Thanks for your answers CQ.
-
In other words you work in customer service.... ::)
Please shut the fuck up because you obviously don't make decisions for the company.
No Vince as mentioned I am rep which means sales, formulations and website.
Decisions..what f'in decisions do you make...umm how many Bee Pollen bottles you want to order. Besides this is not my fulltime job, I am a consultant to the Medical Device and Pharmaceutical industries as it relates to R&D, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. I do/make more in one year that you do in 5.
So Waldo, sit the f%^k down. You are the getbig class clown! Your head is soo big, if it falls back, pez would come out of your neck!

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.

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.
-
Why didn't Bast receive all his rewards from last year?
How safe is the competitors information?
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?
Why is this the second year that there is no steroid division? Natural and non natural should compete in the same category.
How do you know that everybody is "clean" for a year? Thats why I say just let everybody compete.
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.

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

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

First, this is a silly, on-line bodybuilding contest
Yeah, a lot of fuss over a small show. Everyone should be having fun like Keith and I are. No need for anyone to spit the dummy over Goodrum!

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.

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.
-
Your not a real company 'vince', hell your prob. not even real yourself.
You havent promoted anything other than yourself vs. Billy gunns. Your such an attention whore its ridiculous
-
No Vince as mentioned I am rep which means sales, formulations and website.
Decisions..what f'in decisions do you make...umm how many Bee Pollen bottles you want to order. Besides this is not my fulltime job, I am a consultant to the Medical Device and Pharmaceutical industries as it relates to R&D, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. I do/make more in one year that you do in 5.
So Waldo, sit the f%^k down. You are the getbig class clown! Your head is soo big, if it falls back, pez would come out of your neck!
You are a customer service representative. You are not the owner or CEO who makes decisions for IForce Nutrition. I don't really care how much money you make. Usually the ones that brag about making a lot of money are no different than the people up here who brag about being 300 pounds shredded with 24 inch guns.
So again, please put back on your headset and take calls for your company. I'm sure there are people waiting to get huge on ordering some 1-4 AD Bold..... ::)

I remembered this one time when my boss "Micheal" wanted to organize a wedding shower for this lady named 'Phyliss' who works here at Dunder Mifflin. He had no idea what was going on so he got her a stripper but the stripper was a historical tour guy dressed like Ben Franklin. Hahahah oh brother.
-
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.
Actually, Mindspin is worth well over a million dollars. He ran metRX sales during the wealthy years. He is set for life financially. You admit you do hourly security work.

Something tells me you just assumed... :-\

Vince seriously did you ever created a website for a client? There is a difference between the "Designer" as such and somebody running the website.
What I mean with that is, I have sold probably close to 100 + - Design and sometimes even the Page source, but I have nothing to do with he pages as such, I update the pages and do some maintenance but I have nothing to do with them.;

Vince, you own a website, do not formulate, go to tradshows etc etc. If you want to formulate something for your company, it should be something to clear foot in mouth syndrome cuz you sure have alot of it.
It's all good Vince. Remember I am not an avatar for many getbiggers, you are, my picture has not been made fun of, yours has...Keep up the great work...

When did the promoters of the show as you to promote it for them?
When did Mindspin agree that Caliber was indeed a sponsor?
You just ASSUMED, didn't you?
Why would mindspin have ANY responsibility to you, to share info about the company, which is actually a competitor of yours?
Vince, you have a sense of entitlement here which isn't based in reality. You WANTED to involve yourself with the show, mindspin declined, and now you're bitter.

Please show us the original agreement that you had with Mindspin, stating that you were indeed a Mr getbig 2 sponsor.

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.

I'd rather get the real stuff if I was juicing again. ::)

Dude, you CHOSE to promote the show. Please tell us who you "got to sign up", will ya? ;)

oh brother.... you didnt promote the Mr. Getbig contest any more than Daddywaddy. If anyone has promoted the contest it would be danielson, CQ, or myself.
Brutal delusions of granduer.

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. .
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 ::)
Just replying as I am bored today, it seems a lost cause to try and reason with you.....

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.
-
Here is where I announced the prizes for this year in early May
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=148587.0
You 'announced it' - and NO ONE from the mr getbig team accepted it or agreed with you. How sad is that? you can't GIVE away your products! hahahahahaha
My point however doesn't have to deal with prizes. I was promoting this event since Early May and getting people to sign up
Which people in the show did you get to sign up?
None!! hahahaha owned!

So you were VOLUNTARILY promoting the show, without mindspin agreeing with it?
And now you're pissed about it?]
Dude, you CHOSE to promote the show. Please tell us who you "got to sign up", will ya? ;)
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
-
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.
-
there will most likely never be another Mr Getbig, at least not in the sense of fairness and ethics.
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.
-
Why is Vince trying to fight women? :o
Because he lacks common decency :)
I thanked him for sponsoring the show last year 3 times, I apologised to him twice for any offence caused....plus it has been made clear that Mindspin handled all sponsorship decsions not myself, so Mindspin was the one who 'turned him down' anyway, not me. 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 ::)
The guy is just a mess.

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.

??? But you and nycbull just agreed that it would be best if there were a panel created of 10 - 12 board regulars. The people I named visit the board on a very regular basis. Oh, and don't forget Bluto. He's really regular. Oh and sevantise (sp?).
Monster of an idea nycbull had.

hahahhaa, it makes me laugh, CQ and Mindspin get 5 fuccking grand prize money for an internet message board bb'ing contest where the previous years prizes were a couple of jugs of protein to the winner and all some of you shitstains do is complain. ::)

Yes! And from what we know of your hiding ass you could easily take home 1st prize in the;
under 30, fat, sloppy, never been to a gym, has no experience, talks out of his ass, is so insecure he has to attempt to put down people who are better than he is, virgin, can never back up things he says, giving advice on subjects he has no idea about, twinkie eating, moron Division.

-
Yes! And from what we know of your hiding ass you could easily take home 1st prize in the;
under 30, fat, sloppy, never been to a gym, has no experience, talks out of his ass, is so insecure he has to attempt to put down people who are better than he is, virgin, can never back up things he says, giving advice on subjects he has no idea about, twinkie eating, moron Division.
hahahhahaa, did Medicaid ever approve that heavy duty bed for "people" over 600 pounds for you yet?

But either way most of those people wouldn't be happy anyway with anything.
-
I've wandered through most of this thread & I'd still like to know did Vince back out of the show or what? Because I think in his mind/world there's enough of an excuse to. ::)
yes. his exact wording was somehting like "Since I'm not a sponsor, it'd be against federal law for me to compete in the show"
Hilarious!
We ALL predicted he'd pull out. And sure enough, he did! Now, what reason will he use to pull out of the MD show?
-

What the hell does that mean?
-

True. I don't think anyone actually thought he would do it. As for MD....it's probably just hype like the TA & DA fight.

damn, i forgot abouit that.
wow, this hype BS is so old.

The reason Vince is mad is he liked the idea of "backing" the Mr GB, it made him feel important.
Mindspin went to a real corporation to get real money, not bee pollen and fucking T shirts

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 ::)

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.
[FYI: I am replying for the lurkers, so the 'noobs' don't think we are wildly incompent with this show, I do realize Vince is beyond reason]

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
This is all I intend to comment on this matter because I was called by Ron just now and I have other things to do. Have a good night
-
damn, i forgot abouit that.
wow, this hype BS is so old.
abouit=about
Anyways Vince you said you had a health problem awhile ago. What is it?

My apology is clearly stated in this thread. I apologized for any offence you felt was caused to you. That simple. Also I only replied to your meltdown pm's to me, did not initiate the convo. I never apologized for any actions, and have zero intentions of doing so either, as nothing incorrect was done to you ::)
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)

Your a pussy and have now realised that you just lost even the slightest bit of rep you had here even as a comedy act. Your done ::).
-
And yes, the sponsor too is a board memeber.
Who?
The Scamma-O guy? ;D

He has Don King's titties.

Yup. Whatever credibility Vince had went right out the window with that.
that's about as low as it gets. Still, judging from Goodrum's new pics CQ can probably beat the crap out of him anyway,
PS Saw your pics, you have an excellent build. You have been blessed with some damn good pecs
-
hahahhahaa, did Medicaid ever approve that heavy duty bed for "people" over 600 pounds for you yet?
Dude honestly you are getting very predictably boring. Your comebacks are showing signs of weakness. What happened your sistercousin, aunt, brother, uncle, boyfriend break up with you after finding out you are the most worthless guy they have ever met. Come on man, have some balls you are still the the dumbest and funniest guy on Getbig.
-

pzwned

Come on.
Come on.
It's us.
-
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.

Come on.
Come on.
It's us.
I was just being nice ;D

Bump for the guys and gal who put this together. Awesome!!
