This board is dead lately

[bigtallox]

Man, compared to 4-5 years ago when I was posting here all the time, this board is dead. What happened, is everybody only on ******** instead now? I guess I'll be back in a month or so, maybe there will be some action here.

[Mark1T]

Maybe everyone here thought the same and left. Why is it everyone else's responsibility to make this site more active?

I read your posts. If I can relate or if I have something to contribute, I will.

[rickyng]

Not much to really talk about I guess.

When I was working out in a commercial gym 95% of the folks were under 35. Maybe that explains why the OV 35 is 5% or less of the traffic then elsewhere on this forum, and it moves so slow. Stands to reason, I am only vaguely aware of a few folks who lift that are in my age group. Besides I tend to research a bit more before posting my stupid questions.

Well, I rather see one or two interesting posts a day than 100 threads asking "guess my BF", or newbies asking for advice and then arguing with everyone who gives them some, or people (who are too lazy to research on thier own) asking for complete nutrition and workout plans only to quit a week later, or any number of threads where people without a real plan or the drive, motivation, and self discipline to implement it, bitch and cry about how they aren't making any progress (yet they have it all figured out).

I just posted a rambling thread about what I've learned trying this bodybuilding thing, of that makes things more interesting?

It probably won't. I just fancied posting about it

[Corbi]

I post movie reviews as well as try & persuade people to post in the vacation thread.
Hell I looked for you in SLC this past february but never ran into you.

Unban that yankee turned hillbilly from Georgia and this section will pick up again.

Everybody knows it all, so the "exchange" of information is pretty much not happening.

I am on meds. All other violently insane ones have been banned. And what usually makes discussion lively is a clash of different ideas, or points of view. But what is the point, if as soon as you disagree, you are either troll or a hater. Therefore everybody suddenly agree to everything. And forum quietly dies. Now, look, we have what? A fkn "wholesome" fkn thread, I am beside myself when I think about it, well I need another pill... back in a minute...

I am happy to politely argue with you if that would easy your sorrows.

I disagree with every single one of your points of view you wrote, as reading it I assumed you have had a few strong shots of Patron.

I meant all that in a nice way.

Political discussions have been stifled with arbitrary moves to r/p and banning those whose opinions differ from those who wield the banhammer. Those also happen to be some of the most prolific posters, so activity is on the downswing.

Looks like we're pretty much restricted to cats, gifs, asses, and chat threads.

It's all about the mid-terms, Karlito. The Deep State has infiltrated this forum to what extent I do not know.

We may never know.

I noticed that vacation thread before, wanted to post in it but never got around to it.

[grubman]

For what it's worth, this thread was originally on the O35...NOT the misc (where it's been moved). On this board the original post takes on an entirely different meaning.

That's a blatant lie. No one has ever been banned for having a different political opinion. That's simply a cop out for those who refuse to take responsibility for their own comments.

I've been cutting down on my alcohol consumption, as nearly 70% of my posting was drunk posting, you can see my numbers as of recent aren't as good. But I'm still good coach, you can put me in.

But I was the other 30% that liked all of your drunk posting, wut do? Nah, good for you man.

You have to know about the misc to find it now, I mean they have really hidden it good. Anyone strolling onto BB.com could find the misc before. I'd say this is the biggest reason for reduced traffic. However modding has certainly gotten much more aggressive over the years I have misc, many fallen soldiers.

Spot on. Some of the regular people have even been banned permanently. The bannings have put a major chill on a lot of people who would otherwise post. This is true for me and this is what others have told me. It's just not worth really participating.

Who watches the mods? Is there an overmod? or mastermod?

Santa watches them all.

Yeah but who is moving the Elf on the shelf? He's watching the watchers the entire time.
