If this site goes down it sadly seems like Reddit is our best option. Of course we won't get to speak as freely as before but at least we'll still have each other no homo

Anyone feel like Bodybuilding was always run by idiots? Like they got lucky with the early internet boom and that they had such a good straightforward company name... I guess they were kind of good with supplement sales back in the day but they never adapted with the evolution of the fitness game.. Just kept with the old 90s model and said fuk it..

I will see about getting an older version with the real rep system. But preliminary shows they dont have the older versions for download.
Because I immediately tried to access "the misc" and it was a 404 error, nothing worked.

I really wish we could have them come in either on this thread or make a dedicated stickied thread where they could answer some legit questions.
I know most of us would probably be banned or at least mega negged for posting dumb chit(because I mean... WELL look at us LOL). But it would be cool to if for one thread we could put our buttfukery and degeneracy away so maybe they could clear some things up for us?
That's time out of their day I know, and us not having this forum to post on isn't the end of anyone's life. But it would be nice. Just a thought for any mod that may read this. And if not
Cheers boys, it's been great.

In January 2020, the company laid off around 40 employees.
About three months ago, the company was acquired by an investment firm out of Phoenix.
Yesterday, the company laid off 30-40 employees from what I have gathered.
The sole focus for the company is to focus on their subscription model.

The economies of scale that Amazon/Walmart/Target have make it next to impossible to compete on supplements.

Just in case though, I’ve gone back and saved a lot of old threads that I found personally helpful. I wish there was an easy way to download 200+ page threads though, I’ve been downloading everything page by page.
