Idk
I think about it from time to time though. I'm still very into BB'ing and I used to love this section. I got away from it for a while; not even sure why tbh; and when I came back, man, it was really changed; empty.

Before any big show there used to be 2-3 current pages with threads swapping places every minute.

I guess I'm as much to blame as anyone; we all are. Nobody takes the time to post or reply. I think people's time is so limited these days; everyone is busy. I feel like I have less and less time to surf.

Weird; oh well...that's my deep thought for the night

Yeah pretty much this. It’s a weird time Right now to be working out much less spending 30,000+ on food for a year. You’re lucky to be even lifting at a gym these days like it’s a luxury. Instagram n social media have ruined a lot when you can just make your photos look like you’re the next Greg plitt as well. This forum is still original and has roots. It’s made me who I am today and I’ve been quite successful. So can’t complain. Seems like the rest of the new times is an empty shell especially in the new kids growing up

Bodybuilding forums peaked in 2005-2015 or so.Id say ever since Kai stopped competing there was no controvercy /interest in the Olympia anymore..and the forums followed suit.

It was a stroke of luck from the heavens, and drinking, that I happened to stumble into this subsection tonight. I wouldn't have otherwise.

Imagine my surprise to see a thread decicated to me, solely based on how much I've been your absolute daddy over the past 15 years. I will always live rent free in your head and I know that.

That aside, the forum died after the name change to "Professional Bodybuilding", and also due to the management at BB.com where many prominent members were banned or moved on. This, together with the rise of social media and the lack of upgrades to the forum software is where BB.com sharply fell off.

I recommend everyone here just go to the misc section, it's the last area where a few members still exist and chat.

Cheers.

Social media is partially to do with it. Also the layout of the forum now. It doesn't archive as much . You can't go back to weeks and months of previous posts, etc. There are just a few threads under each section. But also new content isn't going on as much (again, due to social media being where more content is uploaded now)

Yeah you are absolutely right by the way. I joined this forum for having some instructions and guidance that i am not getting much. there is no fresh content about.
