Words from the top

[ForumNature]

We are currently in the process of improving the overall forum experience and making several changes to prepare for bigger system wide modifications. The changes made most recently restricted the Misc section to users that were already active in the Misc and require a login to view/post in an effort to clean up spam/bots.

The next phase of changes taking place are described below:
Archiving Old Content

We will be archiving older, less-trafficked content to improve performance and support the transition of future forum experience. To clarify, this will not affect the large popular chat threads.
Please keep an eye out as we will continue to announce any changes that are made to the forums. If you have feedback, please let us know in this thread so it can be heard.

In. Spot sold to 2012 where everything changed to Avengers and Post Malones.

[Getter_done]

Alright

[BeanGainClovis]

That's pretty cool that the forum is being actively worked on.

It does seem like a lot of spam/bots/alts have been cleared, like purging a virus from the host.

There are a number of doomsayers, but if you look at the numbers the site is growing.

[TBO1313]

So will we continue to be hidden from the public? It's been nice not having to be careful clicking on every thread for fear of seeing disgusting gay pron gifs but I'd understand opening it back up to get new members. Maybe some type of probationary period for new posters where you can't make new threads or post links

[Fatkidwholifts]

“Improving the overall forum experience” huh?

Sounds like fancy double speak

[LittleLexodus]

what's classified as older? threads over a month old?

[A1lthatrema1ns]

Going to need BodySpaceAdmin to come in and post for confirmation

[Silencespeaks]

Making misc private was amazing because it got rid of alts. So thank you.

[Briangumble]

How about fixing the search function?

[GuineaDago585]

Sounds good. Will you guys be appointing an outreach team to attract new members?

[JT11RTR]

Make it easier to see other's posts from their body space like it used to be.

[Silencespeaks]

Since this is Misc you should pull a project mayhem and do a full reset starting reps from ground zero

I support this.

You can reset my reps to zero op srs.

[AVIK777]

Can you still view the archived content, there’s threads I have saved that I sometimes read for information srs

Also reset all reps to 1000

[CeBKa]

damn sad to see misc being slowly erased.

soon becoming an urban legend

[Jhamaican]

can we upgrade to xenforo or something...

[Samraiwise]

Thank you.



Now all alts have gone, we will make Bodybuilding.com forums great again.

[batmanman]

Make it easier to see other's posts from their body space like it used to be.

I kinda liked that, but it also is nice this way because it keeps redditors from coming in and sending all our 2009 posts to the liberal police

[Unstumpable]

can we upgrade to xenforo or something...

This. I hope that means the forum software will be upgraded. Xenforo is soooo much better.

[MostDeaf]

This is the beginning of the end. Enjoy it while you can brahs.

[Shysty021]

How about fixing the search function?

This.

And how about an opt in for notifications on if you were quoted

[Steveyblack]

How about fixing the search function?

Its a feature at this point, for those who are unaware.

You guys should migrate to Xenforo. It's rad.

[stupid000]

Will you please confirm my theory this was done to get rid of rep trading?

[quadfecta]

imo the actual thread view counts havent really decreased despite the forum going private. only thing different is the lack of spambots making troll threads every Nth day

So i dont actually think this was about keeping out the altmaxxing crew, but more about increasing organic traffic for whatever reason

[GnomeSaiyanBruh]

I love this for us.

[FrankCostanza]

please leave old bitcoin threads alone so we can bump them and remind ourselves how stupid we were not investing earlier.

[etet1919]

Making misc private was amazing because it got rid of alts. So thank you.

But I think you and a few other high-rep regulars are still using alts and rep trading. It's been pretty obvious this past year.
