I have been around enough forums long enough to be able to recognize the patterns of when their community is only declining and the atmosphere is only going to continue to get worse. This forum now almost mirrors every forum I gave up on that completely fell apart never to recover.

Forums in general, outside of reddit at least, have been on a decline for the past 10 - 15 years. It seems like the only people interested in most forums are millennials and gen xers who grew up using forums, nobody younger seems to be interested. Even among the main demographic for forums they at best only seem to be able to maintain a loyal userbase, never really getting genuine new users.

I thought this place might have a chance at being a decent small community forum as the misc had a lot of great users and many of them continued on to newmisc back when bodybuilding.com shut down the original forum. Thing is I think we have gradually lost too many good users since the OG misc shut down and lost even more after newmisc shut down.

Now we're at the point where a forum is clearly circling the drain. It's easily identifiable by when the majority of relaxed, normal, proactive, genuine people have left and the majority becomes a clique of terminally online losers who are extremely hostile towards anyone outside of the small group of dysfunctional assholes they can actually get along with.

Basically there's a big difference between playful banter with aggressive but well intentioned motivations and being a hateful asshole with malicious intentions. OG misc really leaned heavily into the former while OB misc leans heavily into the latter. This is usually accomplished with either targeted and biased moderation or a lack of moderation in general, but I think the way we keep jumping around from forum to forum really sped up the process.

Now, this forum just has a very toxic and hateful atmosphere, with a clique of highly aggressive users running around who seems to have absolutely nothing better to do besides obsess over users they don't like and fuck with them. This has basically turned this forum into a sociopathic playground. Miserable assholes trying to make anyone who isn't as miserable as they are as miserable as they are.

We used to joke about miscers being 10k a day CEO's, loads of miscers would be sharing their fun productive lives and giving helpful lifestyle advice, but that is history long gone. Now the average miscer comes off as a seething terminally online loser who couldn't function in any civilized setting, the kind of people who need to be on a small forum in a dark corner of the internet because their behavior would get them swiftly banned from any large platform.

To make matters worse this site just doesn't seem to have any sort of decent management or leadership. I had to make two attempts to post this thread because the site went down for an hour the first time, and there is nothing unusual about it going down at random like that. Nobody seems to know who AllFather is, and he barely has a presence here never posting casually. He keeps talking about how he is supposedly going to add new features, told us a month ago how notifications would be coming real soon but nothing came of it. He doesn't seem to do much in the way of moderating either, had all this talk about rules and community standards that he never seems to enforce and we never got any moderators, it's just him as a lone admin and that is it. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this site does a repeat of newmisc and simply shuts down one day with no warning.

I just don't see the point of this forum anymore unless you're the type of person who simply enjoys trolling or being highly toxic towards other people and fighting with them on the internet. This is just not a place that would appeal to anybody who has their shit together and has anything of value to share with others. I can confidently say there is no way this forum is going to attract new users anymore, it's not even really discoverable on any major search engines. Even if anyone new could somehow miraculously find this place and register, it would only be a short matter of time until they deal with loads of hostility, have the usual suspects fuck with their account and say fuck this place and move on with their life.

Speaking of the usual suspects, I imagine they will show up within minutes of me posting this to spew their usual insults and perform their usual attacks, but I really don't give a shit. All the hostility I am sure to receive will merely act of proof backing up my assessment. I have seen how forums like this end up and it's a sad sight to see, just some small group of antisocial losers that can't seem to get along with anyone locked into their miserable little world they created for themselves. When you realize the type of people you are dealing with on a forum like this, it's impossible to give a shit about anything they say as it's impossible to have any respect for that kind of userbase. It's like caring about what some group of hoodlums shouting obscenities at you on the street think. Anyone who has their shit together is just going to roll their eyes and move on their their life, people like that are simply going out of their way to fuck with people and it's because they're miserable losers with nothing better to do or going for themselves. The winning play is always to not give people like that the time of day and simply live your best life seeking the company of people who are pleasant to be around.

this is the saddest post i have ever read in internet history and i didnt even read the post srs

I suppose that would be true if you give a shit about this site. Wincel alt.

Mirin your avi OP...That movie predicted the future. It's got electrolytes!

And I am predicting the future again.

Just look at wincel going all out with his gifs and bullshit right now, using both of his accounts he does nothing but troll with. That's the type of person who hangs out here.

You are not going anywhere, boyo

Normally the goal for a forum would be to have highly active users, not mock them for being contributors.

rep power = posts now

Someone get this phaggot a box of tissues - he's crying about this across three or four different sections FFS

Lmao. Hypocrite🤣🤣🤣

Good example of the type of person this forum appeals to right now, total sociopath.

Did not read crew

Well you're an exception wincel, and the fact that you saved that says it must have really got to you.

Bruh that's the future of this forum. Nobody is going to give a shit. Pure irrelevance.

I was always appretiative of places like this where we can goof off.

NGL though. I wish bb dot com would bring a forum back and advertise it. I know things will never be the same, but it would be better than nthing. They had posted on Instapuke back in December that they made a mistake, presumably about the forums, so 2026 would see changes, but never followed up on it.

The writer argues that the forum is in serious decline and likely won’t recover. They believe this follows a common pattern seen in many older forums over the past 10–15 years, where younger users don’t join and the community slowly shrinks and stagnates.

They say the forum used to have a strong, positive community (especially in earlier versions like the “OG misc”), but over time it has lost many good users. What remains is described as a small, toxic clique that is hostile to outsiders and focused on trolling and attacking others rather than meaningful discussion.

The post also criticizes poor management—mentioning site instability, lack of moderation, and unfulfilled promises from the admin—which has contributed to the decline.

Overall, the author concludes that the forum now has little value unless someone enjoys toxicity and arguments, and they believe it won’t attract new users or survive long-term. They suggest that well-adjusted people will simply leave and find better communities.

AI knows what's up.

Sparknotes for those that struggle with reading.

BB.com was a site that count attract a good community. Sites like this are simply clinging to the same old group of assholes that refuse to leave because they got nowhere else to go.

I mean we all know it's Jay and we all know how much of a loser he is, but this is just so far beyond the normal type of cringe he posts.

But I'm here for it because this level of cringe really brings us all together, so we can laugh at Jay. This may be the best thing since his spoon pic.

They can personally attack me, they can call me names, they can put me down, they can post memes and gifs and jerk each other off, but what they can't do is tell me or prove me wrong.

Nobody gives enough of a fuck. This shit aint that serious lil fella. Sheesh

I just saw OP post this in another thread. It's like he has no original thought. Lmao.

OP be like: "This forum is circling the drain with negativity, hostility and miserable assholes who have no life. This has just become a really toxic place."

OP also posting in every other thread:
















CAN ANYONE GUESS WHO'S THE NEGATIVE, HOSTILE, MISERABLE, TOXIC ASSHOLE?
