Is it true that Misc was really big during it's peak years? srs

[miscoach]

How big exactly? Any comparisons or hard data are welcome

[proudmanlet]

it was really big when I joined

[BLOATMOGGER]

Big enough most young men on the internet between 2008-2014 interacted with it in some way.

[SettingOff]

no it was only a runoff off 4chan master race

[nielk]

Yea it was great because if someone made a sht thread and no one really responded it would be on the 4th page in a few seconds. All the good threads would be on the main page. It was more fun. Funniest moments of my life (online) we’re had in the early 2010s

[Unstumpable]

It was the fastest moving forum I'd ever seen when I first started lurking around 2011. RIP peak misc.

[thenamenottaken]

IIRC, it was the 3rd largest/busiest forum behind 4chan and offtopic.

It's where the term 'fast Misc is fast' came from. Even if you posted a new thread, it may have immediately gone to the 2nd page. You had to multi tab topics/threads if you wanted to keep up with them.

[eod8989]

You couldn't even keep up during the day time

Only at night when the aussies posted was it slow enough to browse

It was quite literally the best forum in the world around 2009-2012

[ChrisLS8]

People don't use forums now.

Zilvia.net was one of the largest automotive forums of all time and insanely active. It's been down for a while now.

[mp83]

In 2010-2014 if you made a thread it would be on the 2nd page in < 1 min. Sometimes it would just go straight to the 2nd page

2012 was peak

This. You could refresh, then refresh again and the top 10 posts would be in a different order. It was crazy.

I see what you did there

[4free]

In 2012 it was madness, copypastas and gif trains all over the place. new thread every couple of minutes it seemed

[CrimsonSteel]

I joined in 2005 when I was still in highs school, and posted exclusively in the weight lifting sections. I eventually noticed Misc. It was pretty similar to that meme, really.

[Muzzlrpress]

You'd better have a catchy thread title, because your thread would get buried to page 3 in under 10 minutes

[mellowfellow01]

was absolutely huge when I was 16-21 2006-2011 seriously amazing and im very glad I was part of it
So much fun and there never will be anything similar.

This. If the thread title gave the impression that images of semi-naked females could be found within, you stood a chance. You had to appeal to the somewhat primitive nature of miscers.

If your thread was about sewing or your favourite 19th century politicans....have fun reading all 0 replies.

Haven’t seen fast misc is fast used in years. Feels bad mane.

[DrugsToGetBig]

you truly missed out if you didnt get to experience the misc a decade ago (ded fkn Srs)

[navid93]

I remember staying up late just laughing my ass off at the misc

It was none stop trolling and banter. Now it’s just incels, FAs, and people complaining about women and vaccines.

Bump was used very, very often.

Dammit, SOMEBODY was gonna see your 19th century politician thread!

I used to be on a board that was solely focused on moms buying different brands of clothing for their young children and it was probably 4 or 5 times busier than misc now.

I remember miscers use to sell their spots in popular/big threads and got some decent $$$ for it.

Spot for sale!






Edit: Spot sold to Gillette

[Huss!]

There were no gay twink threads, no liberals, everyone lifted, no AVIs were red, mental illness was a rare sight....

[buwbs]

2004 was goat srs

[DrunkNinjaMastr]

My original POF thread had over 1 million views, and that wasn't even the most viewed active thread going at the same time. Misc was insane. If you wanted miscers to actually pay attention to one of your threads, you had to bring the lulz consistently, or else it would quickly get buried.

[p7nk]

Vice wrote an article calling us homophobic gay bodybuilders.. we even got quoted.. also we made world news for the CJ incident , although JTV took all the negative media..

a ton of you guys came here cause of epic threads that were shared on other websites.. have no idea about rep selling and mod who was a registered ****phile, FBI raid on the BB warehouses, how there was an actually roid forum for homebrews and ect...

[Fewski]

I came back to browse through the MISC several months ago. Was disappointed. Back in that 2011-2013 era it was where everyone was at it seemed. Not sure what happened. RIP misc.

Holy chit, DNM! I still have you thread sub's. You are the Ultimate Broski! Too bad most of the pics in the thread are gone now. Was definitely one of the most epic Misc threads ever.
