So what the hell happened to this section?

Haven't been here since 2014. Now I see I can't even view older threads, it's just one page?

Although I don't follow bodybuilding with the same passion I used to, I still have a fond memory of the comraderies on here. We had Larfleeze, Rorocwalker, Iceman, Sammy. Does anybody even care the Olympia is a few weeks away?

Perhaps the legit posters wearied of wading through all the spam?

Probably, but then you'd have to wonder how the administration could've dropped the ball this hard.

Good question. I've reached out to forum site moderation and administration twice, offering my services to help clean up the place. No reply.

I was here during the IFBB section glory years. Stealthswimmer was providing constant commentary on the top pros, everyone tuned in to the Olympia AND Arnold livestreams, IFBB pros had fairly regular interactions with us on here, etc...

The sport (which it really isn't now, it's a mental disorder) has gone completely all to hell. Drugs are out of control, physiques are out of control, and IG has more content on it than this forum ever has (even in it's hay day). It will never come back.

Pretty much sums it up, I have also been around for a long time but things have changed for the worst unfortunately

The first hit was when even the slightest mention of performance enhancing drugs was swiftly penalized and folks got banned.
Quite a few members started rebelling jokingly or otherwise then they just got tired and left the forum to never come back.

The level of moderation and objectivism has been varying from draconic to completely absent and anything in between.

Yeah it sucks brah. You and me signed up in 2007, that was a really fun time around these parts. Bodybuilding was still mainstream and gym life kicked ass. So different now.
