Elephant in the Room - Right Now

Why did the Misc get censored from the internet?

Whenever I googled any random topic on Google, a post from the Misc would usually be one of the top results & I would get a good laugh. New accounts created or people without accounts aren't allowed to read the Misc anymore.

What happened & why? Is the Misc a threat to our new 2022 society?

Because the people that own Body Building dot com and the Misc enjoy making money, and unfortunately, some losers posting a lot of scat porn is bad for business.

Damage control. BB.com got sold like 3 times. It's a dying company. The misc was seen as a liability given our history, popularity, and negative attention. Misc is anti-wokeness for the most part so big companies fear that could cause cancel culture.

Mix that with the state of the forum where you had an influx of alts that were infinite and annoying the fuk out of everyone.

So my guess is purely damage control for the brand and also to stop the bots and alts made from fukking psychopaths. Kind of sucks but at the same time most of our post histories won't show up and people won't see our post histories haha.

Elon Musk needs to buy the Misc. Would be a step in the right direction for sure.
