Death of Mike Mentzer. I was scouring the net looking for info when it happened and found Getbig. Have followed it ever since.

for me it was the craig titus incident.   https://www.sportscasting.com/former-pro-bodybuilder-craig-titus-brutally-murdered-his-personal-assistant-and-burned-her-body-with-his-wifes-help/   2005
It’s been so long I can’t remember. I’m sure you have the same problem, Funk.

1998 Mr. Olympia results. I was shocked. Ronnie over Flex? No way! Then I saw the pictures...

I used to read the wannabebig.com forums (nh) and someone there said that getbig.com was better.

I think it was when I read an Ironman magazine.  King kamali had a section and kamali referred to 240 as a loser from getbig. Around the same time TA was trolling ironage and somebody called TA a loser ftom getbig. So I figured Id fit right in and should check it out.

What year did Getbig begin? (This name was registered in 2003 but I had 2 other names before this one … AviaIsBack and something else Mike_Arvilla I think?)

I had an earlier account aslo but I was a mod on Mayhem and people hated me here even more than they do now......so I posted occasionally.....left after a time, then returned in 2003.

Ron has had at least two restarts on this board to where post count and time here restarted. They we're upgrades to new boards. The front page says since 1996.

Yeah, Nov 98. Melvin was here before me though and a couple others I no longer remember.

I was on Muscle Mayhem, before that I was on Anabolex before the original one shut down. EliteFitness was my first, I've been on many others as well.

I came here sparingly as Muscle Mayhem was around but once that place started going to shit , i stuck around here fill time.  I originally came here to sell Ron some web hosting space with the Arena BBS.  He said no but i liked the site
