...and on page 3, guess which forums appears ???

...but when you Google Blog search

Does that count all the banned and the account-not-activated members?

Probably. But it doesn't count all of the lurkers.

Google also shows results they feel you will want to see based upon previous browsing history. So for people who don't frequent the RVF it may not show up on page one at all.

Go incognito on Chrome and that will be a non issue.

Regardless, it's awesome.

If you Google "starting strength weightlifting" I noticed that RVF is near the top of page two. That's got to bring in a lot of traffic from younger guys.

I found the RVF on some random internet search about traveling to Bucharest.

That was probably 2 years ago. I can only imagine how far RVF spreads its wings these days on a google search.

Dat Google traffic.

If you thought women where flaky and undependable, wait until you encounter the full wrath of Google scorned.

It's truly amazing how fast a forum such as this can grow.

Golf clap for those short sighted Canadian SJW's who generated so much attention for Roosh.

It's truly amazing how Roosh has brought together some of the most masculine and constructive minds together. Not only are they well versed in masculinity, game and self improvement among other things, but they provide an unparalleled insight about the outside world and even human interaction. If you look at the long thread about the migrant invasion in europe, you'll find finely researched information and refreshing insight you won't see anywhere else.

Well done Roosh! You've outdone yourself. You've built a community of intellectuals.

No women being allowed?

Something else?

Your explanation is the most plausible.

This forum is seven years old.

We're raising the equivalent of a little kid here.

This appears to be the first thread ever posted (way back in August 2008):
/thread-12.html

Are there any active users still around today from that time? I'd be interested to know if you guys anticipated how this forum would end up. By 2011, when I started lurking, it was already awesome.

I lurked and read DCbachelor in 08, joined the forum in 09.

The direction of the forum has changed a lot.
Many great members, that laid a lot out ground work and pumped out data sheets, have left or were forced out by those changes.

Post: #22

If the forum allowed women, only god knows how it would have ended up.

Post: #23

First thread it appears:
/thread-5.html

speakeasy and CleanSlate are the only currently active members posted in there.

It would be interesting to hear about how it has changed.
