Ok, 1st off. This is Peter, who was the Video/web/godfather of TBF. I have not spoken to anyone about this. Only people who know are Close Friends, Family, and the Cops. We where one of the hardest core krews in the US. For the people that know us, they know this is true. In the end, the Cops,FBI and lawyers where involved.

This is the story of what happened to the TBF krew.

We first started as a small 8 man group. We did fights, stunts, shits, you name it, weve done it. We all were under 18 and in high school. We've broken each other teeth, bones and noses. It was sick, and most of you think its dumb but we had a major belive in the Nileism AKA "Fight Club". We didn't care about anything cause nothing mattered. We became the most bad ass kids that romed Vegas. The TBF scene in our school began to grow (and soon out of control) and soon we where having fights with kids who wanted to be in TBF. We began recruiting but in order to get in, You had to fight. We recruited kids that where close to having nothing going for them but we gave them something, something to live for. About half way through TBF we had about 30+ kids in TBF. We even had a TBF in the UK. Then we could create TBF's around the world. Like little franchises. We were having fights every weekend. We started to have crowds of kids come to watch fights. Then we did something that would kill us, We started making T-shirts and Stickers (which if you have one, your totally fuckin awesome. Very Rare.). There where kids that would come up to us with our shirts praiseing us as gods. Me and Justin soon became known as the Godfathers. There were so much fights that we would just sit in the back of the crowd and over see. These shirts and stickers soon appeared in schools. Kids started to get dress code for our shirts and stickers. Saying it was "gang signs". Kids began to get questioned on what TBF was. Then a kid broke, Ill leave his name untold for personal reasons but hes a trader and a rat. He told them everything in hopes of not getting ex spelled. He told them names, where we lived and fought. One of our members then kicked this lawyers kids ass for personal reasons, and the kid blames it on TBF and that he foght him because of TBF. Altho the fight wasn't recorded or had anything to do with TBF. This lawyer then threatened to sue the school and our member for this. The school then exploded, all the kids were busted and questioned. Faced with their own videos that they made, they were questioned for what they did in the videos. They called us a Gang and Racists (cause johnny shit on a door and drew a swastica in it. Big deal, we are not racists). Gangs beat up random kids. We fought each other for skill and amusement in fighting. Its not like anything mattered anyway. The school cops called the FBI gang unit and all kids were detained and questioned. Kids where sent to jail and ex spelled out of school. One of our members where sued. Multiple members where ex spelled. Charged for battery and other counts of vandalism. The FBI shut the site down by contacting our host and domain registry threatened to close there whole business. Lucky for me, a few days before the shit hit the fan. Something told me to hide the tapes and data. I Put all the tapes in a Black box and hid it in a different location. The cops came to my house with a warrant and searched for the tapes. I told them I didn't have any "tapes" and only watched them fight. They looked through everything and found nothing. They left and questioned all the kids as of the location of the tapes. Luckily none of the kids broke and to this day I still have the tapes. A main reason I didn't want to explain why we shut down is to protect our work on these tapes. I felt it was right to share with you the fate of our krew and there are talks of getting together after we are all over 18 "which is only a few more kids" and start TBF again. TheBigFuck.com was lost in slue of the FBI and was sold to a porn producer. I've registered tbf4life.com and I am thinking of putting the videos back up but I am still scared of the ramifications of doing this. We will run into problems again with the FBI. (Not to metion that Metro police still have a open investigation on our krew.) We will see how much demand there is for it and we might start it again in the next few months. Alot of kids lifes were ruined in our stupid krew and I feel bad for these kids. Ill figure something out, Please take from our mistakes and please think before you do something stupid. We are all now alittle more mature and wiser, please dont risk your life over some stupid stunt or fight. Let the legend live on and create new and funny skits. Be creative and have fun with it but don't expect to make a living off it. Most of you are young and learning the hard yet fun way. Remember these moments with your krews cause bones will heal but memories will lasts forever. I look forward to your feedback. Thank you for your concern.

I hope to see you all in another life.

-The Godfather

hmm, sounds fucked up, but if you're under investigation, why are you posting this? expecially mentioning you hid the tapes when they think you don't have them. they can read what you're saying right now. oh noes.

I remember you guys, but I wouldn't say you were the hardest of the core. sounds like you watched fight club a little too much. copied it out of sole purpose to fit in. I could be wrong and blowing wind up my ass.

Thats fucked. Talk about cencorship. Im curious to know on what basis they got your site shut down? Freedom of speech and expression should've protected everything on there.

It's always best to host outside of the US. I need to do that.

Anyway, welcome back to HGF. A lot of us here always wondered what happened to you.

you shut the fuck up slim.

I never said they didn't rock, just the way he described the "fight club" way of life, "We recruited kids that where close to having nothing going for them but we gave them something, something to live for." sounded so lame and made me LOL. and I still wouldn't say they were the "hardest core krews in the US" I enjoyed their videos, but nowhere near fucking RAWK CORE!!!1 what a joke, but what do I know right? opinions are so 1990.

Yeah, I don't think they released a video under the name TBFUK but they called themselves it for a while before Randumb graced us with their presence.

Hey, can't be assed reading all of your post yet but I'm glad your back, and hopefully everything is ok.
Actually, I thought you where an awesome group, your videos still hold up today as pretty damn sweet.

By any chance do you have any of your videos you could upload?
Or anyone else that has them?... there was one with alot of flips in it, not parkour stuff, like stunt flips, lol, loved that one.

Welcome back, hopefully you guys are gonna be posting again, you should just film skits...

Uh fuck you.

I like your crew alot and have your best mix up on my comp which I watch alot but I mean don't preach to me about doing stunts.

You got fucked over, don't try to tell others to quite because you got it in the ass.

Don't tell us not to expect to make a living off of it either, LSD RIders just got a bad ass deal for there DVD, I don't expect to make a living off of it but some people here aspire to be pro stunt men. How does you getting it in the asshole hard qualify you as a fucking expert on how HG isn't marketable.

You don't know shit bro seriously, I'm glad your back and hope to see some mix-ups but just because you got in trouble with the feds just proves your wern't smart enough to cover your tracks.

Man, you guys should take all your old tapes, film some new shit, and release a DVD. You were starting to get really good right as things ended.

I don't get why the FBI got involved, nothing too serious happened. Kids always fight.

You said you were under 18, did your parents have anything to do with it?

WEAK, I'm pretty sure if his parents wanted to fight it, they could've kept the site up.
