I put up a vote and a chance for new opinions so why hide it amongst news of a fight? We all know the fight has been made. I was looking for new opinions and a simple chart to see how people feel about the bout.

Im sorry to sound so negative but I was trying to offer something a little fresher with my thread.

Many people see a long running thread and decide to stay clear. I speak from experience.

On this new initiative the Calzaghe: Kessler threads should be all merged too. But they are not. Why get picky with a thread that I feel is valid and worthwhile? I am after all a boxing fan.

Im really quite annoyed by this.

You shouldn't I merge topics that are similar all the time (at least when I catch them ) Some will slip by.
The last thing I wanna do here is discourage YOU or ANYONE ELSE here.

I know what your intentions were and that is why I left the POLL open. If you notice it's still there cause the original post/thread didn't.
And you will see how the people feel about the fight cause the Poll is still there.

No you are not being negative. I will admit and I've said this before I'm some what of a neat freak and when I see 2 topics that to me can be merged/are the same then I merge them. You know I'm always on the other pages here I tend to go there to see if topics can be merged from back then.
I mean look at the 'Best/Up and coming prospects' thread. It was done by OumaFan back in 2006 I think and 'til today I've merged about 3 or 4 threads to it some have been polls some have been just threads. But when you go to the thread and read through it I think it's a gem of a thread that it's like 15 pgs. long of up and coming prospects. I forget the fellas name but he created his 1st thread (not post) but his 1st thread and it was on rising prospects, I merged the topic and also I usually say and post 'Topic Merged' so that people are aware. I explained it to the fella that he did well and all that and he should be proud that he contributed to such a great thread. The fella was and wen't about posting for the rest of the day. Again I don't wanna discourage YOU or ANYONE here but if there an exsisting topic I personally DO NOT have (or at least will try not to have) any issues with it. The problem is like the other day there was like 3 Margarito-Williams threads I merged them all. I think it makes for a better talk and we get to bring in everyones opinions into 1 thread instead of having 3 different threads going on all about the same thing.

Don't really know what to say to this cause go through the pages and you'll find 100's of threads with like 1,2,3,4 replies. Not pages but posts/replies.
I think most people just post wherever not really thinking on how many people have posted so far.

Consider it done.

As I stated in my previous post.
If I pissed you off or got you upset those werent my intentions. I merge topics all the time if I feel the need to.
Please DON'T hit me up with the victim role, please. Yes you are a boxing fan, yes this is a site for you and everyone else to speak their mind on things. I'm a boxing fan just like you so believe me I know what your saying.
I remember on several occasion before I was a MOD several of my topics got merged and it could be just me but I didn't see anything wrong with it nore was I discouraged I just went into that thread and continued chatting.
I will be more careful and look closer into merging topics.
I know theres people like me (and I've seen it here) where they go into a topic and just post something like (Isn't there another thread here on the same topic? Why do we have 2?) Look at the Cotto vs. Judah thread I merged that puppy together since the fight was announced leading into the weekend of the fight that IMO is another great thread I think it wen't upto 19 pgs. and even then I didn't see people getting discouraged to post in there. Neither should you. You've been here long enough to know that your comments/posts are as valid and good as anyones so you shouldn't feel like jumping into a thread of 10, 11 pgs. isn't a good idea.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from and if you chat up and talk we can do it over PM's so that we're not on the Main Board.

Thanks,
Mick
