this forum will become more popular

men need a way to talk to eachother and get advice

I think men are wising up, even the newer generation

reddit and other places are memes at this point, there's no constructive discussion

Misc is the old faithful. It's still here for us. Always will be

No it won't. It barely (if at all) appears in google searches.

Cope.

Ya'll would run off any legitimately new members anyway. It's like a restaurant with chit service confused as to why they get no business.

Well of course that will work and that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about general google searches. Misc popped up in my results when I was seeking relationship advice or other topics. It no longer does that unless of course you're using specific thread titles or post content (as you mentioned). That doesn't count because it requires prior knowledge of the misc to even work.

The forum isn't going to grow. Keep coping.

Misc rarely comes up in Google searches anymore. Used to be you'd search for random exercise tips and this forum would pop up. Now it's mostly ads and reddit.

Misc also used to be so active that the first page would go by at warp speed. Trash threads disappeared quickly, and funny/entertaining threads would get a lot of traction.

When we stumbled upon the misc, it was lively, funny, and full of bros who LIFTED FUKKING WEIGHTS. What would a young man find stumbling upon the misc today? Funny/entertaining threads? Possibly. What's more likely is he'll see a bunch of depressed 30 year olds complaining about women, jews, blacks, and my delicious azzhole.

They'd nope right the fuk outta here.

that doesn't work for most sites...

They block scraping, which the misc doesn't do as of late. And no **** misc isn't at the top of 'general' results, because there's hundreds of sites talking about that material which have emerged since then.


I never said anything about growth, dumb kunt.

you hate the misc yet you remain here. That alone testifies to the extent of what a miserable lowlife you are.
Literal semantics. You're having a completely one sided disagreement now.

A random misc thread about some guys gf staying with a banker as a roommate got me to join. Everyone kept telling the OP that it was over and his gf was going to cheat. Lol'd so hard I made an account that same week.

Better times, and those weren't even the golden years according to the OG's.

wishful thinking but no misc is dead.

it is now just the old guard who operate in an almost cult like manner. The same mentally ill trolls making alts on repeat. Thread quality are either inside jokes only a tiny minority will understand or just random crap that does little to provoke or promote discussion between posters.
I appreciate well thought out subtle trolling.

Yep back in the day 2010 to prob 2015 misc would be top 3 for any kind of Google search. Somewhere along the way misc got removed from their algorithm. Went from always being on the first page to non-existent.

I'd bet reddit or some other similar competing service paid a lot of money to make misc go dark.

FUkn LMAO @ thinking this incel forum would ever become alive.

Gen Z has moved on to to gossip forums. Look at this forum with millions of posts gossiping about Instagrammers and Influencers. Every single forum on there has a new post within a few minutes.

crazy I didn't think forums like this still existed outside of reddit.

I used to browse lipstick alley as a young boy and this site reminds me of it.

Heavy on this. Same topics, sometimes recycled damn near verbatim. Or a troll will repeatedly post and get serious replies. Even digging past page 3 still returns crap. Though it is a little better during weekdays, I feel like the lack of new users is really noticable on weekends because a lot of people stop posting until they go back to work.


R&P phlaggots leaking into main misc has also ruined traffic. They'd prefer to sit around angry over political/racial issue #350 than talk about anything thing else under the sun.

That's my point.

These other avenues of communication are garbage

Misc is far from perfect but men need a place to go

Misc is a relic of years past. It used to be if you googled any topic you would find a bodybuilding result near the top

Weve been quarantined and the doors are closed. The only similar adjacent community to this one is /fit/ , where you can find good advice much has much more demoralizing blackpill incel chit than fun discussion

2011-2015 misc felt like the Wild West. So many arrays of personalities. Trolling really took off as well... copious frauds but it was all so menty.

Such a diverse range of topics. You would see a 5 page thread about rating Leonardo dicaprios facial aesthetics, a 5 page thread about Porsche vs Ferrari, a 5 page thread about squat form, a 5 page thread about a random misc brahs first date..all on the front page. it was good times.
I appreciate well thought out subtle trolling.

09 is when the entire internet started censoring I believe. It wasn't just here. Misc popularity and zyzz definitely peaked after 07 though tbh.
