Woah, just realized the BodyBuilding.com forums are gone
Said no distance runner evernah like op said it was the lr of bodybuilding pretty sure most of you guys have the exact same brain in a different body so it's not surprising at all.

TrackTalk.net is gone too. Apparently he didn't have the time or motivation any longer. Sad shame, that was a good one.

I'm surprisingly upset about this. That forum had an outsized impact on internet culture that a lot of people probably don't realize. Like, it was integral to memes as we know them.
Gonna go figure out how many days are in a week as a tribute 🫡

The rep system was so fun. Good posters had essentially social currency that they could use to bomb an idiot’s account. Really great.
“mirin?” “fuark” “riding a bicycle” “not even once” etc etc. Great internal lingo
The Rep/Neg system was absolutely top tier.
The misc from '08-'12 was absolutely peak. Literal internet history they just wiped out.
"U aware, bruh?"
I also was a miscer from 2010-2012. Absolutely hilarious times. Some memorable moments were the YaBoyDave scandal and the video game someone made with Zyzz and ChestBrah as characters. Then there was "Black Jesus" telling guys what to say in their IMs with "sloots".
If I recall, by 2013, the site had been overrun by incels who didn't even lift spamming the forums with extremely vulgar and profane threads. That's when I dropped off lurking there.

That place made this place look like it's nothing but sane people at times. lol
That's actually pretty wild it's gone. I can't imagine the traffic it got.
I know nothing about it but with that much traffic could they not make money running adds on all the pages?
I'm pretty sure the ads pay almost nothing. Forums just aren't profitable, even though they're the most enjoyable part of the internet imo.

Ah this is a shame. I’ll never forget the thread with the dude swearing he ran a 3 min mile in high school gym class, even after someone posted the vid of El G’s WR. Jokes aside, I only spent a little time on the site but I did enjoy it. RIP.

The thing about forums is that the members quickly become desensitized to the ads, or even use an ad blocker. How many ads have you clicked here?
I click on all the ads here. I thought that was required. Am I doing it wrong?

The development of the incel phenomenon could be tracked in live time on the misc. In 2008/09 they called themselves ‘forever alones’, and it was all quite humorous. Then it devolved, culminating in Elliot Rodger (who had a misc account) murdering 6 people at UCSB.

RIP to the most reliable link to the whole 2003 Shaun Assael ESPN article about doping, Catch Him If You Can.
The main subject of the article William Llewellyn still has a link to the ESPN Insider link of the article on his website, though Insider is paywalled.

I'm another old member of BB.com Haven't read any more than the responses in this thread, but the vibe here seems good. and a fair amount of responses.
Some of the board members on BB.com created discords and forums. I can't imagine giving a member on that forum authority over you, so looking for another forum with diverse opinions and level headed people with a few crazy out-of-touch people mixed in.
Most of the people on BB.com who posted in the Misc didn't lift. I used to run when I was younger; ran the Gasparilla and got tons of first place decades ago. But now I bike. Does this forum welcome people like me or should I find a different forum?
Careful how you respond because if you say we are welcome then others who remember me will also find this thread and join here. That might not be a good thing.

Really makes you wonder that if the under the table drug dealers at Bodybuilding can't afford to keep a forum online, how can honest people like the Brojos keep LRC going?
Maybe sell EPO?
