Sorry. All old account data had to be deactivated. It is no longer accessible.

Thanks for understanding. The old platform was so unstable that we couldn’t communicate with our users before turning off the site. It was very unfortunate but we hope you’ll like the new space. – Jeff

The new site looks very slick and attractive. And easy to use too.

So the flame wars have already started, after only 2 days? Already I have heard from former members who will not return to your site, because of the posts of guys like Two_Men_in_Love. Former members were hoping that the obnoxious posters and trolls would not be on the new RJ.

In its very first week back, RealJock is informed its membership includes irredeemable pests. Instead of deleting their accounts for a clean fresh start, RealJock assigns the burden of what used to be called moderation to individual users.
One man’s pest is another man’s contrarian, and we know from the previous incarnation that RealJock operates under the present-day truth régime (don’t question transgenderism, don’t talk about race except to venerate blacks, always capitalize the B in Black because to do otherwise is racist, never capitalize the W in White because to do is is racist – you will all be familiar with these universally imposed diktats). Hence RealJock will immediately ban dissidents but will allow irredeemable pests free rein forever.
After all, we can just block them.
Fun fact: Some of us have been online for decades and indeed have decades of experience with what does and does not work with discussion fora. Try to reinvent the wheel and you’ll end up with Fred Flintstone’s car. And you won’t end up with Bam-Bam’s musculature as part of the bargain.

Great to have the site back up. I look forward to the changes and hope it can be a helpful and uplifting site to those who want to improve their fitness and health.

I too agree that it is very unfortunate the old accounts were lost. I luckily had the intuition to copy the text from my old account before it was shut down for fear this may occur. Still, I lost a lot of photos and personal conversations and several YouTube video links I had worked on over the years. It truly is too bad. But here we are, and new beginnings can be good I suppose.
Anyway, one thing I hope returns is the instant message feature. That was the best part of RJ from back in the day. Email is so slow and old fashioned. Please, please bring back RJ Instant Message!

Was anyone informed that the old site was going to be discontinued? I had no notice. I attempted to log in one day and received the 405 or was it 505 page does not exist error.
-
I am not replete with confidence and optimism regarding this new project, or even this subforum.
-
The new site looks sharp, and very modern! The “All Updates” feed on the main page definitely makes it easier to connect with other guys on here
-
I do agree. And as I stated above, I have a background in design so my opinion has more to back it up than the naysayers who have criticized the site.

Nice to see that Realjock is up and running again. Sorry to see that all the old posts and photos aren’t accessible, but hopefully there will soon be new ones.

How do I recreate my original RJ profile and messages/discussions?
-
You can recreate your old profile by creating a new profile with the same information included. Old message boards do not exist. There’s no way for you to recreate previous discussions.

This thing’s a week and a half old and it’s already attracting spammers, which there are positively no controls to prevent. (One cannot simply turn off messaging, or block messages from anyone one has not already friended.)
Again: Some of us have been doing this for decades and there are a lot of wheels not to reinvent here.

Feeling a little nostalgic just looking at the banner of this group. I loved the old community but the site needed a facelift. I look forward to this new RJ site.😀😀

I miss the old site even with all the drama and trolling.
