Mr GetBig II website is live!

[Vince B]

 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!

[nycbull]

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

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.

First, this is a silly, on-line bodybuilding contest

The truth finally comes out!

[CQ]

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....

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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.

[Monster_Everything]

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

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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.....

Oh, I'm definitely reminded of that when I have to fork out a few thousand for taxes......  

And yes, I exist in real life.


BTW....Monster Everything....psst....wh at a lame name

[Monster_Everything]

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.

[Livewire]

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.

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

Something tells me you just assumed... 

[Stark]

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.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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

Something tells me you just assumed... 

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......    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.

So are you saying that 1-4 AD Bold or Methedol is equal to a gram of test a week or a shot of Deca Durabolin..... ::)st


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

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?

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

I already know that.  Still doesn't change anything.  What's the point of even bringing that up

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.....

No matter how many times this has been discovered, many of us find ourselves back here again...arguing with vince and his imaginary world...hahah this is going to be a great event!!!

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.

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!
