I thought this was a boxing forum
Been on this forum for 3 years now, and I'm saddened to see some of the gradual changes. For starters, some of the veteran posters don't seem to get on much anymore. Guys like Wacko and others. Which is too bad... really. Their posts were always informative and entertaining.
Now, it seems we're more into insulting and bullying. Posters calling each other fags, insulting other people's nationalities, etc, etc, etc. My... the things we do when hiding behind a keyboard in the safety of our own home.
Well... I still enjoy talking about boxing and having the occasional argument with some of the intelligent posters in here. But frankly I'm also tiring of the mentally-challenged bullies that don't have much of interest to say.
Fortunately, these are the distinct minority... and I wish they'd tone their bullying down a bit. It's starting to tarnish what is otherwise a wonderful boxing forum.
Just my opinions, of course.

Which is why I've been pretty hooked for the past 3 years. I've tried other boards, and have coming quickly back to saddo's for that reason. And the "fisticuffs"... I expect them and look forward to them.
:cool: ;D
Re: I thought this was a boxing forum
Tito,
It's just a cycle...
In the past we had posters like today who all they did was post nonsense at least IMO...
Posters like ROCKYMARSHMELLOW, Magnum, Royal, landmine950 and DIOS.
But anyway with time if they don't straighten out they will eventually do something that get's them flushed :flush: and if they stick around that means they cleaned up their act. For others it get's boring when no one pays attention to you and they just either leave or clean up their act.
Anyway Tito try not to pay too much attention to them or you'll just be feeding the beast. Instead send a MOD or Saddo himself a PM and let them know how you feel. ;)
For now let's just enjoy the Cotto-Margarito festivities!!!
:party: :party: :drunks: :drunks: :party: :drunks: :jabbing::jabbing:
Re: I thought this was a boxing forum
Oh! by the way the thing with Wacks is he's gone through some personal things that has kept him off for a while but he recently cameback and said he was still alive so that alone made us all happy :happy0931sb4:

Re: I thought this was a boxing forum
The place is fine. Really, in my 3 (I think) years here, I've seen these threads pretty much consistently throughout my time on the board. I remember one of my first posts was in a topic of a member complaining about how much the board changed for the worse since the Hopkins-Taylor fight (which is why I joined), and it's been that way consistently. I have also heard tales of when Cotto fans were dragging down the board with their radical fanaticism in his early days, same with a bunch. Wacko may not post much but plenty of other posters have stepped up to fill the void. Now of course you can't replace a member like Wacko or any member, but that's the natural progression of things. Not everyone can post forever.
Wacko also said he might like to make his RBR return for Cotto-Margarito, hopefully that happens, if not, another member will do it and I'm sure the board will turn to utter chaos as is the case with every big fight.
Also since the Zelenoff situation, I haven't really seen any non-boxing stuff in the main board and I think since Calzaghe-Hopkins personal insults have gone down too. Perhaps we should start tracking this stuff with spreadsheets or something.

You should jump allover that.
Let us know how it goes... ;D
Re: I thought this was a boxing forum
.....nothing's perfect, including this place, but the good way out-weighs the bad. The thing that rude posters want more than anything is a response to thier stupidity, they call you a name you call them one back and now the shit is on a roll. Ignore the assclowns, post with the boxing fans, it's how i get by. I've actually still have not had any bad experiences with anyone here as of yet, so it sucks for you that have.

Sorry to... (sniff)... disappoint you.
No... seriously tho, we can all argue and kid each other. I don't got a problem with that. But the racist, ignorant sh*t is a bit over the top. Sorry you don't see it that way.
