where did they go?

online fitness discussion is fucking gay as shit now, all the zoomers are openly roiding and all the science based lifters are boring homos
anyone who's older has just gotten into irl run clubs and endurance shit that actually takes you outside instead of some gymcel dungeon filled with low status spics who'll never outlift the fact that they're 5'4"

>>76788504
>normies forced inside by coof find their way to new websites
>coof pressure over, normies leave
shock and awe

>>76788504
Do we need to have this discussion on every board today?

Well the reason for this board is the opposite of /int/'s problem. The mods are completely MIA here so the whole catalogue is juat spam.

>>76788504
120 second captcha

>>76788555
>maximum is a little over 1/3rd of pre-coof averages
wow great explanation

>>76788504
the whole site is dying in general
thoughbeit might be for the better if we are retvrning to the esoteric roots

>>76788583
We became mainstream and now our sayings and ideas are all over the MSM and everyday life. Mission accomplished, I guess.

>>76788576
>max is when stormfront arrives
>loss in popularity as normal people leave
>rise during coof as normal people join
>loss after coof as normal people leave
Surely you're not such a newfag you need 2012 explained, right?

>>76788504
Posting on 4chan has turned increasingly more complicated and frustrating. It's not worth it when most of the time youre gonna reply with something simple

>>76788504
>Muh why is our website dying
>We need new blood !!!
>Why do young people not care about it ???
Meanwhile every other post in every other board is venomous seethe against younger people/zoomers. Of course they wont care about this cesspit of coping virgins. Men peak at 36 anyways which is why it's the optimal 4chan age just wait until all the "zoomers" are that age

>>76788565
This. I had to wait 120 seconds to post this shitty comment

>>76788607
>Men peak at 36 anyways
You're supposed to work on that peak at least 20 years before you hit that age anyways

>>76788504
if you look at the stats, basically every board recovered somewhat except for /it/ (worst drop, worst recovery) and /a/

>>76788504
>4chan is worse in general, posting is now more complicated and takes longer
>some of the old /fit/ posters will have probably made it and fucked off
>the internet in general is less fun and lighthearted than it used to be
>the fitness industry is filled with more shills and fags than ever before

>>76788504
120 post cooldown is completely fucking retarded. It's like they want this site to die so the social media can monitor our wrongthink

>>76788583
If by esoteric roots you mean bots and schizos screaming and throwing shit at each other, sure, because that's what at least 70% of this website is nowadays.

>>76788504
Genuinely hope 4chan gets shut down in the coming internet restrictions being rolled out. Would serve gookmoot right to lose his cashcow.

Bad moderation: deleting board culture while letting shitposters/schizos/retards post 24/7. This removed the good posts while letting bad posts run rampant and caused more and more posters to leave.

Lifting is a solved hobby:
>eat a good diet (appropriate calories/macros/micros)
>lift hard and consistently
>results will come but take longer than you expect

If you have questions about lifting/running there are far better resources to learn from than this website.

>>76788595
I meant maximum nowadays, the peaks we're hitting now are barely above 1/3rd of what was average before coof so coof fallout doesn't explain the decrease over the last 2 years

I can’t speak for others but I exclusively phonepost in incognito mode between sets and the 15 minute cooldown plus the inability to post images it made it hard for me to bother.

>>76788612
Zoomie seething that peak sexual market value men are breeding zoomettes

>>76788781
>I exclusively phonepost in incognito mode
why the fuck tho

>>76788780
>normies are still leaving
is that really so difficult to understand? are you actually SPED or just ESL?

>>76789033
its a bad look if your friend's using your phone and they see all the 4chan links in your history

>>76788504
Normies started flocking to Xitter after Elon Musk bought it

moderation sucks. bots and b8 runs rampant to the point most threads aren't worth engaging so people leave now they're really stuck because without neverending b8 no one would even come to this garbage website.

That's really sad, that peak in 2013 is right around the time I started lifting. This place got me through a lot of hard times, idk where everyone went.

>>76788538
Pretty much this.

>>76788587

>>76789652
People moved on and some zoomers replaced them but this is a boomer site now. It doesn't look like tiktok or discord. Only indian and other brown zoomers are here because theirs phones are too old to work with the new apps.

95% of boards are ghosttowns now

/pol/ is like 50% bots and even /tv/ is considerably slower. At this point /a/ and /v/ are the only boards that are still active.

pajeets and White homosexuals have ruined 4chan like they ruined White collar work and their relationships with their parents
>>76788538
this too

The horror known as the 2010s and COVID is over
Mudsharking is literally uncool now

all these people went somewhere and I have no idea where to
I have a life, have a wife, have shit to do, but I'm still lurking around, I haven't found anything that would make me drop imageboards and my online time in general
what do these leavers do? I guess we imagine they went "outside", though it's likely they fucked off to reddit or some other gay place or just scroll their lives away on tiktok not willing to actively participate in anything online

>>76788504
nothing new to talk about. lifting isnt complicated.

>>76788538
This i get the whole gym to myself after 19pm its based

>>76789855
Planet Fitness in between Medford, NY and Bryan, OH is always packed where are you going to the gym? I ride a skateboard long distance for cardio any anon from LI, NY would have seen me

>>76788607
People were complaining about newfags in 2010 lol it's nothing new you tourist queer

An endless tide of DYELs and cumbrains. I have to assume they are getting paid to ruin this website.

bbc spam and moderation
i used to lurk literally every day for hours in like 2021-2023

Normies and narcissists ruined this site.

The moment you have interesting discussion they come in with a normie response that is supposedly the answer to everything, easily found on Google and they act like it's a revelation.

The people that make it think of themselves as a superior breed instead of trying to lift each other up.

Just shitty all around. And I remember /fit/ on its peak too, it was so fucking gay you newfags can't believe it. The you mirin' posts with a nude fag always got 200+ replies.

>>76790231
excuse you
50 and childless

>>76788504
Adding any amount of friction to any activity is enough to drive most people away from it. That’s why adding a post timer killed off most traffic, even moreso than the captcha did long ago.

when the end goal is graduating 4chan, then it's not weird that all the good guys leave and the shitty guys stay here forever

There needs to be more outdoor gyms and equipment.
A park nearby has a few bars which I suspect are for pull-ups and some other calisthenic equipment. I should check it out and finally get around to trying out a muscle up.

>>76788587
weird but true.

if you think about it, zyzz + /fit/ + misc lead to the rise of the "red pill" which lead to the rise of alt right which lead to our current timeline

>>76788607
I remember when /b/ was THE board to go on, and it was fully teenagers (myself included at the time). Then I came to /fit/ when zyzz died, during the peak, and it was full of young men like myself, then it became about balding constantly as the we all hit our mid twenties, then came the 'peak at 30s' cope, now its full of fitness over 30s threads.
We are a website collective of dedicated users and it will die with us. The youngsters aren't into ugly image boards and grow up using apps.

>>76788504
>go to /fit/ - fitness board
>it's blackpill this, pajeet that, e-celeb this, dyel that, no actual fitness discussions, and /r9k/ rejects running around like bitches in heat
gee, I wonder

>>76791899
this is exactly what I was saying the other day. The only reason this board is full of pajeets is because their phones are too old to run the latest tik tok update

>>76789747

>>76788519
forced wage cucking and these people are not allowed to post on their work hours lmao

>>76788504
Online channels / communities are like any business, you need new people coming in. People need to discover the community out in the "wild," show up, start engaging and become regular participants. Without that, it becomes the same weird aging loners all talking to each other in increasingly dwindling numbers.

I sincerely doubt there are many people on here who haven't been here for 5+ years. And I think it's pretty obvious that discord and other faster-moving sites are capturing a lot of the traffic that was previously discovering imageboards.

>>76788504
every single thread immediately gets taken over by keto schizos, /pol/ chuds or /r9k/ incels
95% of the posters here dont lift
