Almost kind of surreal it’s gone. RIP

Hopefully at the dangling end of some scratchy rope

Tours officially over

I hear you, but the various times it's been shut down and fallen off the rails in general over the last few years have had me caring a lot less.

Ironically, I migrated to the misc all those moons ago when a different forum shut down, and I remember even then forums were a dying platform and there was constant speculation about when the misc would be shut down. It's honestly pretty crazy that it lasted as long as it did with how severely neglected it was for so long. It was obviously only left up because it costed them nothing to keep the server up with close to zero maintenance.

I just saw today that the forums are officially closed. I just wanna say, great on that note. There was zero reason to keep the decades worth of posting up for random lurkers to see on a non-functional forum. The writing was on the wall ever since they re-opened the misc after what was imo its best year in a long time when it was made private from like March 2021 - July 2022.

End of an era.

So many memes from that place.

Work is going to drag now every day... What I would give to neg a lib right now

Lol at the bb site acting like they'll replace the forums with anything other than bodyspace or making people log into their bullshit via social media accounts like all those types of sites do when they close their forums

Damn, what a faggot/phaggot (intended spelling) way to kill off the misc.

At least let some of the few good people who didn't already land somewhere else connect a last way before pulling the plug.

"No, we totally invented something that is even better than a forum or any other remotely modern social media platform that we don't even use except facebook!"

They're going to be in for a rude awakening if they seriously think that they're going to make fetch bodyspace happen because they'll never face the fact that they never adapted. There are better storefronts for supplements, places with "hardcore" pre-workouts, and you can just go on youtube to find thousands of videos if you need to know how to do any particular lift. They don't offer anything you couldn't find elsewhere, and they're so intent on keeping up this clean, natural, WADA-approved bullshit that nobody believes anyways while everyone else moves on. Hell, when I went on vitamin shoppe just to compare out of curiosity they had straight up TRT advertised on the front page.

I'd say for 99% of people, bodyspace is the like the fitness app/website/thing equivalent of "I don't even know who you are."

If you accidentally clicked a profile and it took you to the bodyspace side, hardly anyone had bothered to touch them.

Fuck. Been on that forum since 2005. While we all knew this was the outcome it doesn't make it any easier.

Rest in piss Misc.

The only Body Space was ever any good for was looking up pics of female miscers. I remember Jamie Eason had a lot of hot pics on there from back when she was supposed to participate in the forums for some sort of deal she had with them, then they let her stop when she requested and said she hated the shit that went on in the forums.

I don't think most miscers cared about body space unless it was to snoop for old pics of female miscers/former miscers to jack it to lol

RIP misc

tours over boyos. I tried going through browser history to the sticky thread and it brings me to that same forum page.

Yeah I went through the beginning of the thread and it seemed like she didn’t know what was happening.

Cleveland said:

yeah the let her opt out of the misc cause of how she got treated. DLB said during an interview that it was vile place and she would never go back in it after the abuse she took

Highlights that even during the glory days the Misc was kind of a shit hole. It's just that threads moved so fast back then you didn't notice unless you were looking for it (I doubt any of us were looking).

I used it back in highschool late 00’s. I specifically googled “bodybuilding MySpace”
