Google changed. If you search "Is creatine good for you." It only shows websites like Webmd and only mayo clinic etc. Now type "Is creatine good for you forum". That's more like the classic search results for Google 10+ years ago. I think I also found this website by using Google asking about exercises. No way the bodybuilding.com forums will show up in the search results anymore.

What about the old posters that stopped posting?


Bodybuilding.com is definitely outdated. The entire forum could use a revamp. We still gotta use '[/youtube]' instead of copy and paste. I wonder how much money does the company still bring in?

The Misc lost the plot.

We're not all bros anymore.

It's a bunch of hate, reputation destruction, bickering, trying to be offensive as possible, etc.

The idea that people can say what they really think has been taken advantage of. There are a lot of mean spirited posters here.

I joined in 2016 and at the time the misc was an online locker room where men could talk shop with some politics and unpopular opinions tossed in, but at the end of the day "we're all gonna make it".

The current crop not so much.

It's leftist rage in the other direction. I put it in the same category as Twatter now.

Sad.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

I don't understand who keeps making all the multiple new accounts.

And outside the misc, some guy is spamming indian dating websites and escorts.

I think it would benefit a lot from active mods who could shut down the constant stream of annoying alts, delete the daily threads about the "incel pandemic," move the political chit over to R&P where it belongs, ban the blackpilled losers constantly complaining about not getting women, etc.

If it were me, I would probably also ban the fat degenerates who post every day but neither lift nor show any interest in lifting. It'sbodybuilding.com.WTF are you doing here other than spamming the forum with irrelevant chit? We might get more traffic from younger people who are actually interested in lifting if the front page and beyond weren't filled up with a bunch of dumb chit like asking people who ostensibly are interested in fitness to rate your dinner of Dorito's, Taco Bell, and cheap malt liquor.

However, it does seem to be true that a lot of college-age people are a lot more interested in super low-attention-span bullchit like TikTok vids than they are in any sense of community within a forum. Maybe if this forum returned to being somewhat inspirational and more fun (i.e., people who actually lift sharing routines, progress photos, funny stories, etc.), it would draw more people in. Who wants to come read a bunch of depressing, loser chit except depressing losers?

Its crazy huh.

He probably has a script that makes the new accounts so he spams alts easily. Mods need to look into closing the misc and doing an IP block.

This would 100% kill what's left of the misc.

People forget the pua-hate era on here around the time of Elliot Rodger. It felt a lot more toxic back then, now it's just dead.

The bigger issue is this format is dead, I don't know why people don't like it, but they don't. Every forum I visit that's the vbulletin style like here is pretty much dead.

Honestly there was a bit of an overaction after the misc made the news when the ER thing went down. A bunch of people were banned, which is kinda funny because ER hardly spent any time on here. His account had a few hundred posts, if that, iirc.

B-b-but showing a picture of your fried chicken sandwich and fries for lunch followed by a bunch of non-lifting fatasses commenting “based” is interesting content on a bodybuilding forum!!!

Youre posting on the misc section. There's plenty of dedicated subforums on here to lifting.

I joined in 2006, back then you couldn’t keep a thread on the first page for more than moments there were so many posts.

That's exactly what happened. You hit the nail on the head. All of us old heads have been there, done that. Or just moved on.

With no new blood coming in to ask beginner questions/be excited and eager in general, it's a wrap. srs

I notice a lot of youth posting inwww.reddit.com/r/zyzz/aziz left quite the legacy, too bad they dont misc with us.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.

There's a ton on instagram. I have an account on there to follow some people involved with hobbies I'm interested in, it's full of really young people. Tiktok's probably the same.

Those apps lack the personability of places like here, whenever you comment it just feels like you're shouting into a void, unless it's on some small page. Then it feels even smaller than the misc is now.

Instagram also heavily censors what you write, which really sucks. You can't banter on there at all, it's programmed to auto-delete anything it thinks is cyber bullying. It even sucks at that, I made a few controversial posts on there and people were dming me death threats from troll accounts, so it's not catching that stuff lol
