Which lifts will bring /fit/ to its former glory?

this is good though

>>76357570 (OP)
IP ban on the entirety of Asia and Africa and throw in Israel for good measure
Permanent bans on anyone who posts porn and anything blatantly demoralizing with no given advice or being a crab in a bucket
Ban anyone that does not post body after being told to after the thread is archived
Low quality posts be taken seriously and taken down immediately

4chan is a place for boomers
And as time goes on those boomers realize they dont have enough time to waste it on 4chan, new blood can't keep up with the rate of decline
its over

>>76357576
which part? the captchas? the bait threads? the /r9kpol/ posters?

id like to know what the traffic stats are for 4chan as a whole, have all boards gone down in traffic, or are other boards stealing /fit/'s traffic and growing? also I've said it before faggots like
>>76357583
made traffic decline significantly due to rampant anti-smut attitudes, this is a board for young fit guys, you're gonna have a lot of dudes into hot chicks, you fat faggots want the whole board to be like boring fatass /plg/

/int/ is much faster and has tons of funposting and goonbait and is an actually good, lively board with good culture and memes

>>76357594
>you're gonna have a lot of dudes into hot chicks
Man if only there were porn centered boards specifically for that purpose…
Man if only…

>>76357597
those same dudes are pretty antiporn. i know you're autistic and it's hard to understand the nuance, but chads wanna see teases but not nasty hc stuff

>>76357608
>but chads wanna see teases but not nasty hc stuff
Man…
If ONLY there were boards centered around that…
If ONLY there were ANY other places on the internet to look at that stuff…

>>76357616
you're literally that meme of the chud with 0 replies in his thread seething at the chad with a goonbait pic and 300 replies. your rampant autism is killing the board, how do you not understand that? they made containment threads like /plg/ for you freaks, just stay in there

>>76357588
Zoomers watch YouTube compilations of greentexts then go back to discord. Genuinely, if you grew up on it, why would you prefer current day 4chan vs discord clubhouses? The whole point 4chan took off was that it was once our collective clubhouse.

>>76357622
>bro just let everything turn into porn posting and demoralizing shit flinging bro
>you dont want that??? then youre just a stupid fucking CHUD
>you want the board to be better and go back to actually focusing on fitness? YOURE KILLING THE BOARD YOU CHUD!!!!
>THINK OF THE GUYS THAT WANT TO JERK OFF!!!!

Why would people who have made it stay here? Serious question.
To argue with retards who know better but for some reason cant make it?

>>76357570 (OP)
This board was built from squats

>>76357650
i come back here for meme images. girls laugh a lot at some of the images posted here, especially all the dog and cat ones

>>76357583
Africa yes, Asia no. Asia usually has specific "chans" or chan like forums locally.
KR's got arca boards. CN's got nga boards. JP has 2chan. TW has bahamut and so on.

>>76357682
Nothing worse than someone showing me memes in person. I do not want to look at your phone.

>>76357570 (OP)
Sports and fitness on the surface and intermediate level have been solved half a century ago, there's nothing to say or add that hasnt been said a million times. There's only cycles of what regiment or exercise is currently the most popular and now we're going from the isolation soience natty craze towards the peak of roids normalization in teens and after that it's probably going to be a compounds/OLY "functional strength" craze.
There is nothing to do here besides venting and trolling.
/pol/ is the fastest board not only because of its reputation but because it's a self-refreshing board since you can never run out of wars and scandals to argue about, same for /a/ with anime being mass produced and /v/ and /vt/
The only board that might completely die out soon is probably /his/

>>76357682
>girls laugh a lot at some of the images posted here, especially all the dog and cat ones
I'll take things that never happened for 4$ sir

>>76357694
>The only board that might completely die out soon is probably /his/
Ironically unusable cuz /pol/ with dates.

>Remove porn
>Remove christfags
>Remove anyone outside the west

>>76357704
Any "christian" who enjoys frequenting 4chan is most likely a larping /pol/fag.

>>76357570 (OP)
Kill all off-topic posting
Yes the porn, politics, eceleb shit, twitter shit, your woman-hater and fph generals, sexual and mental health shit, relationship shit, "gym culture" slide threads

Just diet (as it pertains to fitness), and training.

Fuck, nuke it all let's go to being a text-only board and spam detect on hyperlinks related to image hosting, youtube, social media and link redirection services.

>>76357784
>text only board
I could go to reddit if i liked that format

>>76357583
If you do number 2 you don't need to do number 1.

>>76357814
We had text-only boards before /fit/ wasn't one of them though.

>>76357814
/News/ is still like that, retard
Imageboards were text-only before the "image" part was requested

>>76357835
Why are they called imageboards and not textboards then?

>>76357835
Imagine getting "news" from 4jizz

Oldfags, what happened late 2008? Why did it go dark for two years.

>>76357858
They were just called boards.

>>76357570 (OP)
2011/2012 was peak /fit/

>>76357871
The board was getting pathetic traction so it was deleted, early zoomers revived it and now that they're older it's dying again

>pictures of half naked men
>r9k tier demoralizationposting
>/pol/ reposts
>same bait threads
>lifts for *unrelated shit*
>e-celeb posting
what's the point of this board?

>>76357570 (OP)
its over

>>76357591
/fit/ has been primarily a shitposting board the entire time. Reaching >80% of your potential has been trivial for decades.

>>76357588
>4chan is a place for boomers
>and as time goes on those boomers realize they dont have enough time to waste it on 4chan
excuse me but we're retired and have plenty of time to shit post on 4chan. I do however want the Indians to get out of this board (and website)

>>76357583
>Low quality posts be taken seriously and taken down immediately
If you don't let people have fun, they leave.
Yeah, quality is important, but people need to have fun too.

>>76358769
You can have fun without constantly spamming the same low quality stupid fucking posts day in and day out

I dont think there's any use left of /fit/.
heightism, blackpill, looksmaxxing all went mainstream.
tinder and tiktok replaced the need for validation.
chatgpt replaced the need to ask anything serious

nothing, it's a relic of a bygone age

>Here since 2018

I can't tell things have gotten slower over time. Still werid thinking about how different this place has become.

>>76357588
>4chan is a place for boomers
More like gen X and millenials. 4chan became the meme generator of the internet before 2010 when most boomers didn't even understood youtube and started it's slow decline about the time when gamergate happened, so before zoomers went online.
>>76358753
is that pic a jojo reference

>>76358777
if you're seeing the same thing here every day, maybe that's because you're showing up here all day, every day. that's a you-problem m80

>>76357588
median age on here is early 20s
"you're here forever" oldcels are just coping, most people stop posting as they advance in their careers and get married

>>76359240
no you dumbass, it's a reference to the (kino and giga based) film called The Substance

>>76359250
meant for (you) >>76359223 of course. my fat fingers clicked the wrong post

>>76359244
>>76359255
Your pic looks old as fuck though. Also /b/ having the lowest percentage of virgins is questionable at least

>>76357859
>Imagine getting "news" from 4jizz
Imagine getting "news" from mainstream media

>>76357570 (OP)
This just means /fit/ works for it's intended purpose, they made it.

>>76359310
Yeah it makes more sense to believe sourceless memes spread by anonymous entities. I dont believe either. I just lack to go back and forth between cnn and fix news and laugh at the conflicting information.

squats and oats

>>76357570 (OP)
as someone who used to come here in 2012-2014 this is pretty sad.


its not just /fit/ though. The old internet and forum format is dead. Its all social media now.

>>76359479
This is social media

Until they ban twink stalker
Nothings gonna improve

We need the coomer bait and fph threads back.

>Which lifts will bring /fit/ to its former glory?
Supplement lifts. Bioactive food research is blowing up recently; surprise surprise, turns out they do almost all biology shit and get very drug-like.

Everyone knows how to lift a damn weight except Dr. Mike.

>>76357570 (OP)
taking a good look at the stats, /fit/ is the only board that had such a drop in users and posts
80% drop in 4 years is insane
some boards even managed to regain users posts 2021

/it/ "culture" has now spread and is mainstream on socials like tiktok and instagram
once the looksmaxing malaise had spread, there was no reason for this board to survive

if you arent at least an oldfag, dont. wanna hear your opinion. it just doesn't count
t. Came here since 2016

>>76357881
I want to go back bros

half the board at any time is someone trying to push some new esoteric /x/ tier remedy, or someone saying water will kill you
this board is no different from a white woman's instagram when it's about peddling bullshit
one deviation away from crystals and astrology

>>76360547
>push some new esoteric /x/ tier remedy
idk though, Dave Pascoe takes like 300 of them all at once (especially all the alternative arthritis ones you've heard of and never heard of) and actually looks really good for some grandpa-aged dude who used to run ultra-marathons.

>>76359276
/b/ is full of normalfags who just browse it for porn

>>76357570 (OP)
Fit is dying for two main reasons

1. Internet isn't what it once was. Forums and image boards are being replaced by social media, discord and TikTok. Meaning overall lower traffic on these types of places.

2. The amount of r9k / pol fags and keto schizos are tremendously off putting for newfags

Basically oldfags leave over time newfags aren't coming in to replace them

>>76359766
There's a very real chance that the person saying this is a literal child or a shitposting 40 year old

extremely gay confession but what drove me away from this board (i only come here once a week since the threads last that long) are the roiders
i know they have always been a column of this board but in the latest years they have become insufferable, and i think its the work of basically 2 or 3 individuals
there's one that is as vain as a woman and keeps posting the same image where he's flexing his triceps... he'll samefag an argument just to have a reason to post that pic
another is the anon the is in every thread writing
>oh another natty-cuck that pretends to know how roids work
i know every board has its designated autists, but its too much in here

>>76360578
>hell samefag an argument just to have an excuse to reply to himself
I know exactly who you’re talking about, and thought I was the only one who noticed
His arguments are always written exactly the same as his “detractor” lmao

>>76360578
Well we had much worse in the past, mainly namefags and tripfags. And the blackpill dude who showed up in every thread, always posting the same pics and writing kek in every post

>>76360595
like the zeke poster? or bot? or batman?

>>76360595
Don't forget that fucking Uncleposter.

>>76360607
wasn't the uncleposter at least contained to one thread, that was easy to hide? It's been forever

>>76357591
>implying it wasn't retarded from the start
ishygddt

>>76361013
Bravo. Now post the one about the bread thread

>>76357570 (OP)
/fit/ is declining because any actual post gets met with being called a retard, dyel, being told to kill themselves, or to give up, called a fat fuck.
The posts that do get engaged are the same disproven shit like
>does creatine cause hairloss?
>does creatine cause kidney stones?
>does x cause y?
>in what timespan can i achieve this physique?
>is this physique achieveable natty?
>is patty still the queen of /fit/?
>hating in arnold post
>hating on mike post
>hating on sam sulek post
>mike menzter shitposting
>is this supplement good for boosting testosterone?
>hey guys post and discuss your supplements
>no one discusses anything they just post supplements with ocassionally calljng someone retarded
>the science based lifting threads are usually overblown filled with excessivity that over complicated lifting a heavy object up and down.
>guys will this supplement actually give me gains or is it bunk?
>just do steroids instead
>haha roid tranny
>no real discussion, just constantly trying to one up the other person
>any actual discussion had is usually by people that dont wanna put in the work to actuallt achieve their strength or physique gains
>it devolves into them posting anime images and complaining about how complicated this all is
there is no saving this

Then there would not be any posts. It would be

> Hurr Durr I'm a beginner and haven't read the sticky
Three of those are generals

>>76359517
No, it isn't. When people complain about social media they're talking about places where you doomscroll content—algorithmically generated to keep your attention on the app—that comes in the form of spastic 5 second clips. You become a slave to programmed information. This is nothing like places such as discord or 4chan. Yes these are all media sites, and they are all social in nature; but it is incorrect and improper to assign the same label to them. If you're dead set on calling them both social media, I won't stop you. Instead I'll ask you point blank: what term would you assign to Instagram, Snapchat, tiktok and other social media apps that compete for your attention by programmatically locking you into an echo chamber?

>>76361320
newfag

>>76361320
Dude 4channers doomscroll all day.

I would say they are all social medias, this one is anonymous.

>4chan isnt an ech chamber

Funny how anons were talking about this board being hoarded with zoomers for the summer. Turns out they were the ones posting and left for summer break.

>>76361331
Low IQ faggot who doesn't understand that doomscrolling wasn't the defining criterion for what I called social media.

>>76361360
Bro you couldnt tell me the difference other than this is anonymous so no algorithms. But if you consider mods are known for spreading things like racist propaganda and squising dissent, it's the sane thing for you people.

Have fun staying in your chud echo chamber while everyone reasonable leaves.

This place

>>76361320
And as far as attention span goes you guys are not spreading anything better than 5 second clips except on the boards where you can post longer vids

this is why this board has gone to shit:
>>76357613

>>76357570 (OP)
1. Fitness is a solved topic and any question can be answered with Google or AI.

2. This board has gone to shit due to the influx of roidtrannies, looksmaxxers, fat fetishists, and /pol/tards who never talk about exercising or diets. This problem became ten times worse after /fit/ migrated to the Sharty during the 4chan shutdown.

>>76361331
anonymous is literally the opposite to social media.

The real reason why 4chan has fallen off, and I mean actually has fallen off and not just oldfag bias, is because the board's culture has been targeted and solved by politicians, influencers, and corporate interests.

Everything on 4chan has been LARPing bullshit. But in the past it was trolls trolling trolls. Now it's agenda driven people using market data to try and influence trolls.

>>76362045
the white house literally just posted a chudjak on twitter so you might be right

>>76362120
Thanks for the notice, I hate it. And how fucking soulless it is. Compare that with pic related
