The forums are running on ancient, out of support, end-of-life hardware with no intentions of migrating or upgrading. The business didn't see the value in migrating the forum to the cloud.

Last I knew they were still on third party hardware break/fix support only.

I think the most telling bit was when a couple of mods offered the like, 100 dollars to upgrade the software, and the offer was completely ignored.

Mods are taking paycuts too I hear.

Now instead of only paying with their time and energy, they have to pay literal currency to work their "job".

Forums aren't exactly a jumping business anymore, and I don't think supplementation draws the monehs either. Not really all that surprising.

There are so many customizations between the forum and (not limited to) bodyspace, and there are zero PHP developers left (thats what they are primarily written in), that an upgrade would be next to impossible anyways.

You know what's ironic is the BB store here will very often run sales that make the long-term cost better than what places like Amazon offers

I've bought 2x 5lbs proton tubs several times here because it comes out cheaper + you get bonus goodies thrown in

That big campus always seemed like a teibble waste of money. I understood what they were trying to do, make their own little google campus type thing. The gym looked amazing, the protein powders in the cafeteria etc....but didnt that building cost over 25M? I know they only got about 15M for it when they sold it last year.

Ive never met a single person ever refer to the Deluca brothers as intelligent, what you said is basically how most people view their success. It doesnt help that they're giant douches irl. His newest business venture is interesting though and still in the fitness industry. Probably not something Id personally invest in tbh but maybe he'll pull it off. Virtual Reality gyms just seems odd imo, especially at 200/mo membership.

BB.com held a huge market share, were doing over 500M in revenue at their peak, plus had expanded to multiple warehouse across the US and even had one in the UK and Puerto Rico. They should have had the ability to compete with poverty 3rd party supp sellers on amazon yet somehow got btfo

Doubt we make it pass 2020, past two years have been incredibly slow and the forum is more like a liability than a useful tool to peddle supplements like before.
