Tossed y’all suckers to the curb like a used rubber and y’all still wanna be loyal to them? Mark ass bitches
I always hated the mods for perming me, but my beef was solely with the mods and I always made that clear
But now that the developers/owners pulled that BS with so much as a closing date, that place is dead to me
The covid scam exasperated this because the government dumped so much printed emoney into private equity and they bought up everything they could, and now they're running companies into the ground trying to squeeze every penny they can out of what they bought. They bought up companies, real estate, even youtube channels.
You right bruh. Though I think alot of people forget how monumental the misc was in its prime, to shut that shit down and leave some corny pic is mindblowing to me .
Its like removing all of michael jacksons music from every music store/streaming service etc and leaving a pic sayin 'dont worry - we got new music for you over here' - Like bruh

They probably viewed it as a liability for the company ultimately. While we look at it as an amazing collection of misc'ing over the last 20 years, they look at it as 20 years of misogyny, racism and trolling.

There was a time around a year ago were there were 1000 of bot accounts posting links to actual child p0rn. As well as numbers/links to fake passports, fake money, drugs etc. That probably played a part too.cuminmebro wrote:Insidemane wrote:coast2coastam wrote:A large company is never your friend, that's the corporate world.

In another thread the Admin here said he would spring for vBulletin 6 if enough people joined and showed intrest. We all would chip in.
themisc dot org is an availible domain name.

We would definately need more moderators who's sole purpose is to ban the spam bots and delete those spam threads.

That's what I miss about the forums, endless information that could literally answer all of your questions straight to the point with no fluff and no searching around on google
This! Plus so many epic threads and lols of the past and copy pastas gone now. Hold me brahs

While it sucks we lost all the historical misc advice, im sure collectively we can piece it together for the future.
