Misc just had its worst year in user engagement(Srs) (proof) 88% drop from 2013

[John Promise]

And the mods just banned all of the good posters lol

this...










...which means I must not be a good poster. :sad:

[Dennis71]

Too many quality posters getting banned and too many losers doxxing thread starters.

Yet alt accounts get to start lame ass "I miss my ex threads every single day"


Srs.




I only stick around bc I've been here forever.
I only recognize a handful of posters/avis

[John Promise]

the moderation we have right now is the best that the misc has ever had dedsrs

It was pretty good around the time I joined. Big H hung out like one of us. 97lt1 a little more mature but still a miscer. mods in OJ and workout sections were active and helpful. Way back mods were part of the community. It feels like today trolls are chittier and more abusive, and mods come across to me as being worn down from dealing with it.

I've stopped posting more due to sandman ex threads srs. Can we ban his ip?

[DoYouEvenNEM]

Have no idea what happening with western society. But I'm not some weirdo who's gonna start pushing LDARing, lol.

[conspiracy5]

I blame horrible mods.

Exactly this.

[DM28]

Maybe this ^^ has something to do with it? yes detective

Capowt asked to be banned he left us

This and the mods banning you for no reason really ruined the population, we'd probably be doing better now if it wasnt for that era

And the misc detectives yeah, used to be able to like post a picture of yourself or your car here, now losers will try to detective and do stupid shiit

[Tears]

2012 or 2013 join date checking in.

Join date: 2011

Lmao

[Carbonfibre]

I wonder if this forum survives....

It feels like 1-2 years away from closing down.

Hosting must not be cheap.


Discord / Insta probably took away lot of posters.


Forums are dying everywhere. Its not just misc.


10 years ago forum was constant.


-Zyzz
-daveboy
-bunch of misc females
-and bunch of other good posters.


it was meme central

pof

etc.

lifting



now its like lifting scene has died

[2RDEYE]

bro ur posts the other day were all degenmaxxing whoremaxxing posts lol.

that's the kind of stuff that ruined this forum. before then we had miscers actually asking advice to get girls through text for lols and these girls weren't easy asian sluts.

we never had this degenmaxxing whoremaxxing copefear **** before. when misc was funny and entertaining and not toxic

[mgftp]

Think I'll be the last one posting here, replying to myself, tbh.

And the mods just banned all of the good posters lol

There is truth to this. There was a period of time where the modding here was complete trash. I don't know how many were perma'd but many left because nobody could post anything fun without getting negged or a temp ban. This was the opposite of the misc of old where the place was outrageous and outrageously entertaining. Internet forums in general are dying but I am a firm believer that the modding here greatly accelerated any natural decline.

[SomaliGirl]

peak misc years was amazing ded fkn srs


"fast misc" was a thing because a new thread would be on page 2 in less than a minute

damn you’re right, i forgot about “fast misc”

when i lurked in 2014 this place really popular, you’d refresh and see a thread go from 1st page to 3rd page

[multiplemiggs]

Just since I've been here there's so many posters that are gone or I rarely see.
The alt sandman chit doesn't help either when 1/4 of the threads are garbage started by some ******* with a 2021 join date.
I've often thought about applying for mod status just to clear that ******* out.

[anonymous]

the moderation we have right now is the best that the misc has ever had dedsrs

It needs to be, ice*******1800 and his creepy fat boomer friends decimated miscs user base for years and if they were still chitting up the place it would be legitimately dead by now.

I welcome our new Indian overlords

[GottaLiftandEat]

How can we save the misc, boyos??

The whole "forum" type UI is dead.
No disrespect to some users in here, but despite being here for years they can't even embed an image or link. Do you think the current generation have the mental capacity to learn the ins and outs of a forum?
The "misc" and other forums are too complex for the average shmuck to pick up. On top of that forums are really made for PCs (for full functionality). Browsing forums on a mobile is do-able, but not pleasant.

There's no way to "save the misc" without copying existing platforms.
4chan is predominantely PC based, but because of the nature of the platform, anonymity and no popularity, chit like whiteknighting, popularity contests etc don't exist (to the same degree as other platforms).

I feel like this place just needs to outlive reddit and other soy forums and it'll have an influx of immigrants from those places

It won't outlive reddit.

With the whole r/Wallstreetsbets fiasco, stunts like that just bring more traffic to the site.
Reddit isn't dying.
The only chit thing about reddit is the censorship and the obviousleft political stance (I received a site wide reddit ban for calling kunts out for gloating when trumps cousin died) along with rampant degeneracy you'd expect to find on twitter.
Anyone who doesn't want to contract a mild form of cancer will avoid reddit.

The only place people will go to is Twitter despite it being a chithole. Despite the censorship, you can troll and pi*s people off and it's possible to find reasonable individuals on the site.
******** is really for Boomers tbh.
Instagram is for good-looking people.
Snapchat: not really a social media platform.



Cliffs:

Misc fooked

[bigbrainbrah]

i will never use normal social media again. misc till die

[cannotdie]

Liberal mods want to keep the forum pg rated. Helps keep all the elderly boring threads open. “Oh hey guys look at my new dog!”

*******s

[criminal_manne]

This is true. I can post stuff now that Iceman or Team Punishment would ban me for in a second.

[Postmort3m]

There hasn’t been an actual new user account in 3 years

[Jhamaican]

Bodybuilding.com is going out of business as amazon eats them alive

And so too is the misc dying

If they cared they would update the forum software to xenforo or something

Been here for decades. Sad...

Red alt reddit *******s run unchecked while all the best posters are banned (looksmaxi)

[bigbrainbrah]

team punishment was cancer

[MuscleXtreme]

do you think there are bots on the misc (i dont think the misc benefits any elite people to be honest)

It can’t be bots. The level of interaction that a bit would need to do, would be extremely sophisticated AI. It would have to interpret entire sentences, understand the topic and context, in order to interact and fool users. We don’t have self aware AI so any bots would easily be discovered.

They're referred to as NPC's. There isn't much difference between them and bots. Both require programming and are only capable of the same repeated thoughts.

Ah ok that makes sense.

[toneranger]

2009 was a good year

[BootneckBrah]

This. Banned for BS reasons most of the time. Yet true red trolls with no avi's and recent join dates seem to go virtually unchecked.

Er... they go unchecked because all the mods got cancelled by crying betas who couldn’t handle ban from an Internet forum...



Yes there were fgt mods like that Australian cuck Aaron something etc, but mostly the mods like Kong and TP were decent.

[Kadoobiedo]

Why would any new members come here srs? I left a long time ago and never came back
