The new owners seem like woke zoomer faggots. Their last tweet was something about how they had moved to Threads and no longer used X. They were probably mortified with the free speech Misc allowed. And Misc wasn't even entirely right wing, there was Wincel and that P5S guy or whatever and various other far left people.

We should get Elon to buy it and let it open again.

Surprised btw by the lack of posts about the forum closure on X or youtube. It's like there is nowhere online to go to and talk about it.

You would post a thread or reply and it would be on page 2 in less than a minute sometimes. Threads could get pages long in hours, sometimes in under an hour. Especially friday and saturnday nights because it's too busy in the gym and miscers are FA and don't have dates or a social life so they had nothing else to do. Companies didn't have as good internet firewalls so lots of Miscing at work. There were so many good posters, and lots of good content, was seriously entertaining to say the least and lots of LOL's were had. First post, they knew and you would get negged and not posting pics you got negged to oblivion, had to earn your greens. The Misc was more than a forum.

Could this get there? I doubt it will ever see peak misc numbers, but maybe keep things going. Enough people on here, it will show up and maybe get us in the searches and it could grow.

Those were the good ole days. This forum (or whatever replaces misc) won't have the behemoth that is bb.com driving people to it so it'll always be a challenge to reach people.

What is even left on bb.com to generate traffic?

Fuck if I know. It's not like bodyspace really took off. So now they just post the occasional article and sell supps? Like 300,000 other sites?

Fuark brahs. Looks like the survivors are still here.

At least we have each other brahs. Spread the word. srs.

If we ever want to get a vBulletin going for real, I can set it up. I'm a DevOps engineer by trade, so it wouldn't take much to set up.

It almost feels surreal. Like it's all just a bad dream. I feel an emptiness that I've never felt before.

by PrehistoricUFO Fri 20 Sep 2024 - 10:59

The Misc was with me through 1/3rd of my life - and it just vanished. This is messed up but I'm glad I lurked until the end. New fresh start boyos, I just hope wincel and bodhy and jimbob don't migrate.

What are the chances of LooksMaximus making a comeback? Lmao.

Edit - thanks MM for setting this place up mad quick.

I left the forum for a few years and started posting again because I figured the forum would die a natural death and I wanted to see it happen.

So, I am shocked that they deleted the forum as a choice.

Bodybuilding.com is a dead man walking. No one is going to buy products from them unless they are cheaper than Amazon, and that's unlikely. The forum had to have driven some customers and ads on the forum generated some revenue, now they have absolutely no appeal.

Lol, to the whole thing.

Their insane moderation drove all the best posters away years ago and now the ultimate moderation is deleting the forum.

Amazing business plan!

Can't believe it brahs wild that misc looks gone for real this time, posting ITT to pay respects to end of an era.

Lurked from 07 and joined 2011 been miscing for over half my life lol granted misc was on its last legs for years but still...

The ONLY good thing about bb dot com was the forums. And now it's gone.

I think it's hilariously darkly amusing.

The people who ran the site ruined years ago and now they have totally destroyed it.

It was one of the most popular forums and then they made it so high energy and intelligent guys (men who lift) couldn't post there. After, it became a boring forum with no lifters and posters who would shut down conversation about lifting AND childish guys posting nonsense. Now, they have totally deleted one of the few things anyone would want to look at on the site.

It's funny.

Downloaded their app, rated it one star and uninstalled.

Fuck those cunts.

I'm encouraging everyone to leave them negative reviews all over the internet. Here are some suggestions:

We should also be commenting on everything they post on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. until they get sick of us. Fuck them.

In all honesty, bb.com owed you nor any other dweeb on that forum anything. Just because you went there every day to post word star hip hop videos LMFAOOOO

It's actually gone. I never believed it would actually leave.

I have all sorts of jokes I could make, but I'll make a serious one. Misc was a serious part of my life for more than 15 years. It's "home" of the internet to me, despite all the weirdness that happened there over the years. Nothing else compares, Facebook, Reddit, neither of those fill the gap that will be left here.

I'm so glad that some of you brahs are here, and glad you signed up on this backup forum. SmahtBrah, you just became King of the second best backup forum, it just got real for you.

I'm genuinely sad about this, and while it seems very unlikely, I'll hold out hope that they rebuild a forum again.

Until then, I'll bookmark this.

Yup this. Having this forum (and even Reddit or Discord) takes some of the bite away.

MISC was obviously a big part of our lives.

I hardly know what to do on the internet now without it.

The years of camaraderie will keep us bonded together. We made MISC great. Not BB.com.

I'm mourning yes, but our days are not over.
