Meanwhile, their forums are dying. bb.com

Meanwhile, their forums are dying. It seems like every good poster gets banned and every good thread gets deleted. This could all be for legal reasons, but it doesnt matter to the consumers content is king and Bodybuilding.com gave up that throne. And if content is king, then community is queen, and that throne is also being abdicated as we speak.

Lifting is a common hobby or routine, but "bodybuilding" was never that popular of a career.

Plus you know the millennial generation is being de-masculinized

Actually a good read. Over the top censorship/banning does nothing but have a negative impact on people IE likely customers, prices are too high, they don't sell any of the good products people want, and the Jym ordeal all pile up.

Amazon prime actually loses money on the free shipping but they make it up on the huge volume. All forums are dying out. Hopefully the new dev team fixes the bugs in the mobile app which will improve this site.

I know you don't run the company but why doesn't bb.com offer some kind of paid subscription with free shipping?

It can come with extra content or site features. Surely doing nothing to try and compete with Amazon is a bad choice, and it would build brand loyalty.

I know they looked into it but it wasn't cost efficient.

But if you look at reddit, 4 chan and forums similar, this is the only one linked to a store. Image is more important. Hence no boob pics, no drug talk, stuff like that.

hohoho i remember you having like 12k reps a year ago, circlejerking really does pay off. Expect that this forum is getting slower ans slower, so all these hours rep trading are now completely worthless.

Anyway, been here since '09. Quit the misc a year ago when the forum got absolutely flooded with sluthatė forums people spreading their delusional "incel chad"-point of view on life.

It's much worse now, like 10 posts max. every minute? The ****? 3 years ago when you made a new thread it instantly hit page 2 due to forum activity. This place was in it's prime during the ZYZZ era, it all went downhill fast after 2011.

Go to any 5-year old thread
In first 50 posts, 10 miscers are banned

This means that mods have banned almost 20-25% of userbase, not to mention ones who went inactive.
All because bodybuilding.com is a company - it meant the inevitable downfall had to come eventually.

Only because they aren't innovative enough. It could come with an easy way to track meals and workouts, maybe a "professional" you could email that would critique your diet and routine. It could be just cookie cutter advice, but the appearance would be good.

All that can be found for free of course, but people are lazy and stupid. Adapt or die, the site hasn't changed in 15 years. It will go out of business if it doesn't do something I'd assume.

you used to scroll down and seeToday, 01:42 PMall the way down on every thread while it being 1:42 pm. if you made a thread and nobody replied? chances are nobody saw it to begin with so you usually had to bump your own thread for a chance before death. now? forget about it. there are threads on the misc from 10 minutes ago. that never happened even at 3 AM cause the aussies would come on.

Also back in the day when you ordered from here they would give you hella free samples and other random chit. I used to love that and they stopped doing it.

Also used to get free lifting straps if you left a comment on your order lol.
