[QUOTE=A4min;1658591783]some of you kunts still asking for access...they've explained how to get access 100x throughout this thread[/QUOTE]
They bump it off the page with their own waffling
[QUOTE=ForumNature;1640530113]If you [b]joined the site 5/20/21 or earlier[/b] and don't still have Misc access, send an e-mail [email]sitemoderation@bodybuilding.com[/email]
Don't PM me.
If you're a long time lurker and did not create an account until 5/21 or later, you can still send an email and I'll see what I can do once all of the eligible users have access again. I recommend including an explanation that illustrates your level of Misc awareness to prove you're a long time lurker.[/QUOTE]
I mean I could lock this thread but then some muppet will start another one.

Not really, they just said it was going to be done. I can give you my opinion; I'm pretty sure it's a simple case of a business that is not wanting any association with some of the weird extremist incel / right wing / conspiracy nut elements from the Misc. Most of it is just jokes but some people both in and out of the Misc don't know where the line is.

What is your opinion on how all these incel / right wing / conspiracy nuts found a bodybuilding forum to hang out in over the past few years? It's become a gathering of losers who don't even lift. It's always puzzled me.

Yep, it's fertile ground if you are interested in psychology. I characterise it as typical male locker room humour which has been allowed to fester for too long. In a more general society, you get exposed to a lot of different views which temper your own. But spend to long in an echo chamber and things get twisted.
I think that incel culture has arisen because of men, not women. It's normal for young males to try to psyche out their male competitors when it comes to competing for women. So they tell them tales about how it's all hopeless and women are evil - or maybe not women at all lol. And the weaker minded ones use it as a ready made reason why they aren't succeeding. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

The Misc is way more than just "incel chat". It covers all topics of interest to men. Places like Reddit have mass censorship where free speech gets you banned. It's extremely disappointing you are trying to slowly get rid of Misc instead of fostering its growth.

Long time lurker
Just sent an email to try to get misc access back. This account is about 6 years old. Hopefully I get access 🤞

Will this ever open again?

Unless 1. You want to be able to lurk/read without an account or 2. You want trolls to be able to sign up and disrupt the forum then I have no idea why you’d want to unhide misc. i vote to leave it closed forever.

to libcucks...the misc forum will cause irreversible side effects inregards to few subjects we discuss .... after really thinking about it.... better stay closed to your normal joe.....
tbh misc forum from now on should be invite only .... invites should be done by miscers who have completed atleast 1 year and >1000 posts
