How can we make misc great again in 2024?

It's time to stop the skid. 2024 is a turning point. If we keep losing members and posts keep declining, it's over.

No possible recovery and misc will be lost to the anals of time. Reddit is all that will remain and the soy takeover will be complete.

How do we save the misc next year?

We're off to a great start with chitsmearer seemingly gone.
We could start by putting losers like this who live to argue on truly ignore status.

Here's a handy guide

I'm hoping that the guy behind Britishtwit, TheAdlerian, Silencespeaks, etc will bust out a really epic new character to replace them.

Misc is dying. Best case for us is to join on discord and start chatting there

Need Brad to come back, as well as some of the other classic posters. That's pretty much all it will take.

You absolutely support socialism. You are a trumper. Most socialist president in history. Game over.

How can we recruit young right wing influencers, like this budding Chad?

He could help start an entire new breed of miscer.

Each miscer must post a vid benching 225. If you get less than 10 reps, immediate IP ban

- enforce Avatars, must be of the person themselves. This will discourage non-lifters from posting
- reset everyone's reps and/or just abolish the rep system. Has no positive benefit

Brad has to be held accountable and settle his debt. Then he is welcome to post here. He is low IQ and low integrity.

I agree with this about the Avatars to make them be verified.

I like the rep system

We need to attract fresh, new characters.

Yes, there are too many 2023 weirdos who keep making accounts over and over. Probably Wincel, still.

Then there is that Indian guy obsessed with Muzz's butthole who keeps making accounts. Ugh.

The avatars would get rid of a lot of the trolls, they really don't want to show anything genuine lol.

Can get behind this. But at this point, I'm sure even squatting 225 for 10 reps would filter out 90% of misc

gotta love a thread titled "how can we make misc great again" quickly and predictably devolving into some e-fight dick-slapping contest between the usual suspects.

-Link forum accounts to a store account and require at least one purchase in the company's history in order to register a forum account. People can still lurk, but if they want to post, they have to buy.

-Collab with a Zoomer fitness "influencer" to post and create content specifically for the forums. They'll bring in the next generation of miscers to help ensure Misc's survival for another 20 years.

-Did they ever fix the search function? If not, that should probably be the first thing to be done.

-Shut down the negativity. You want people to feel supported, not torn down. If they feel accepted and valued, they might be more likely to buy their supplements here instead of a soulless company like Amazon.
I'm #12 in Y2J's "club"...and I'm scared.

This week on The Buff and the Beautiful: Colleen comes up with a new scheme to win over Carlos. But first she has to gain the trust of her captor.

This. Although I'm not sure about these ancient handles that come back occasionally. I think the misc is fooked but as long as we keep a core we can paddle on for a while.

The ones only here to tear everyone down, offering nothing positive. Character-building ball-busting is one thing, but you can just tell when it crosses over into just being an a-hole, trying to drive members away.
