I think if I post some dick pics it will attract new members. Damn you CoC!

But honestly, when we get new members we neg the ever loving chit out of them as our hazing ritual. A lot of those people get discouraged and move on, while lurkers don’t bother posting because they know we will neg the everloving chit out of them.

Well I’d say the biggest thing is that social media exists and people would rather get validation there.

Also everyone here already knows each other and has inside jokes, so it’s kind of hard to join in as an autist(bc even misc lurkers are autist lol)

I came to the misc when I ditched all of social media. They're probably on there.

jfl at forums in 2019

there’s a subreddit for everything. if you search for lifting stuff you’ll probably end up on r/fitness or something

oh and youtube is strong too

also jfl at natty lifting in 2019, no wonder it’s in a decline. you won’t get instafamous with no face and/or staying natty

I am a new member and let me tell you, being a new member is actually a great thing. we have beautiful members and we have ugly members. just like any forum. I for 1 am a great member, have great friends, and i take care of every one that is in my life and i am glad to do it, and for that i have people that love me around me. also, my parents are one of the best parents you can have. sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. as long as your not a selfish ****head. Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off. suck my dick op suck my dick.
Nothing I post is serious.

Beats going on a forum where you'll get negged or told to read the sticky
See I can't stand this. I don't want to listen to some jerk off's 8 minute video when the only thing I want to hear takes 30 seconds to explain. Would much rather have a wall of text I can quickly search through (srs)

Weight Watchers stock is free falling too. Was a time when there would be a million fitness infomercials. Basically fatties just don't care anymore. And Gen Z are beta *******s who don't even lift.

Back in the day you lifted for sports, social activities, and so you look good at the beach,pool. Youth today are on their phones and anti-social.

All other things has always been been nice but very optional.

So now you have a bunch of disillusioned gymcels and the fad is dying
pretty much this, people realized that lifting does nothing to them

also realize that natty lifting with average genetics leads to 0 results

moderators got triggered and banned half the forum's entertaining users, and since forums are dying no-one new came to replace them so misc went into a death cycle

Anyone who chooses to spend time on Twitter and who isn't using it to make fun of 99% of the other retarded users, probably wouldn't enjoy misc very much.
