Anyone else think the main board has gone to shit?

I have not been posting much lately due to not even being on-line too much but I have been stopping in now and again making a post here and there I noticed something on the main boards.....

It seems that either it consist of everyone bitching about Pacquiao fans, posters that were once quality starting to act like clowns stating shit of zero worth just to state it...EG- Talking bad about a fighter for the simple fact it will piss another poster off...

The over abundance of links to other sites in post...One guy just uses his site logo and link as his Sig then makes threads using articles from his site to promote traffic...

I am not sure what has happened lately....Mods not around too much? I also noticed a lot of this seemed to begin (I could be wrong) after Mick stopped being around so often...

Maybe it is just me and I have been logging on during times when it seems as though there is just shit on the boards not even worth reading....

Just curious if anyone else has noticed these things?

Things like this just did not happen in the past...Everyone was a quality poster and we had the best forum on the net hands down...Kind of disappointed

Thanks for the vote of confidence for the current mods!!

Talking as somebody who is online almost all day and has been for the last 5 years, I disagree with what you say. I don't see any fall in standards. If this place didn't have the amount of freedom for posters to speak as they wish (within reason) it wouldn't be the place it is and would be like so many other forums that are run by ego trippin power hungry moderators that spoil the site.

I think the highlighted part of your post probably means that you really don't know what goes on around here. I spend hours each day going through threads and checking for anything that I think is affecting the site, if I see anything I don't like, it's gone, simple as that and the same goes for all the other Mods on here, who do their best to make this a fun place to be.

I don't criticize your writing for the site, so do me a favour and don't criticize how we moderate the forums.

I just made a statement and asked a question...Don't think anywhere did I say the Mods suck did I? No I didn't pretty sure I just stated in question forum that maybe mods aren't around that much I am pretty sure I also stated that In question form if maybe it was just me and I just happen to log on when there is a bunch of shit post...

So if you are going to throw a tantrum and say I am criticizing and you feel the need to defend yourself with explainations maybe then you feel guilty on the fact you do do a shit job personally...

Again it was a question and personal opinion...Funny how you say
"so many other forums that are run by ego trippin power hungry moderators that spoil the site

then the bext thing you do is get on an ego trip talking yourself up....Then you talk about posters having the freedom to post as they wish but when someone post something that your fragile little ego doesn't like you are the first one to talk shit...

And if I do criticize the way certain people moderate then be it...Too bad get over it...Was stating my opinion on things I have actually seen on the forums....It is an opinion but I don't think I said that at all

Should I go and post links to every singe post that bitches about Pacquiao fans, and other things of the sort....Get over yourself because I said that a lot of the stupid shit and crybaby shit on the main page did not happen when Mick was around more...Is that what hurt your feelings?

So again since you seem to have had a hard time understanding my post due to your hours and hours of going through the threads and keeping them up to your standards...I did not say a bad thing about the mods and pretty much thought all were cool....I did state clearly maybe I have just been coming on during times when there is drama bullshit on the boards...For all you know those times were before you and your hours of daily moderation had a chance to mod, clean up post etc....Instead you jump on the I am a dick wagon

If I wanted to criticize mods I would just flat put in the title of the thread "The mods fucking suck!!!"

Daxx, the rules of this board are "No arguments" So I'll tell you want I think of that via PM ;)

Hey man, I'm trying to contribute is a positive way. I kinda take it personal when you say:

Showing your class there Daxx, by posting PMs. I have deleted those posts, not because I don't stand by what I said, but because this board is not the place for that, hence me saying it via PM

You really are a sad pathetic little man

It was a fucking question simple, I did not mention anyones name, say mods themselves suck etc...Anyone who is offended too fucking bad...

If you are a poster who feels it was something personal then maybe you know you are guilty of doing it...Simple

As for Big H all you had to reply was No I don't think it has or maybe it is just the times you have logged in etc as I said myself in the fucking post in the first place

Instead Big H wants to go into a fucking tangent then send me shit in my PM calling me a cocksucker and now Killersheep wants to start in with the I am offended shit..

Too bad if your offended

I think you know my thoughts Daxx!

This board is designed for people to get away from the main boards and chill, so like I said before, there are no arguments in here, hence me telling you what I think via PM and not in here.

what? bitch slapping fight and I wasnt invited :beat:

This whole thing was blown out of context...I was genuinly asking a question about things because like I stated I have not been around and the few times I have been I seem to have come across the worst moments..

I was genuinly asking about mods because I thought maybe there are not as many as before...all were simple questions...I never singled anyone out etc,,,

Sorry if anyone felt it was personal but it was not....Never had a problem with any mods and in my time here they have always been top notch....

So in that aspect I apologize if I came across wrong...But to have PM's sent to me calling me cock sucker and that bullshit by a MOD then no I am not sorry for the other shit I said about Big H..

so to everyone who may have been offended my bad..

Killersheep we have always gotten along and again I was not trying to offend anyone sorry if you took it that way....

Any other Mods who I may have offended again sorry did not mean to come across that way...

I appreciate the rest of you no PM'ing me calling me a cocksucker telling me to fuck myself....

I never singled anyone out because it was not meant to be directed toward anyone in particular.....

I think things are pretty much the same as always. You will always have posters who follow a particular agenda and if that agenda eventually becomes a nasty agenda, then they get dealt with appropriately. But on the whole I still think we have a lot of decent people here and they treat each other with respect. If someone has a go needlessly then there will always be someone else to back you up. This is a good place and we treat each other on the whole with the respect that we have come to deserve. The mods are pretty much the same old mods and I think they do a good job. I don't really see a site that has degenerated into Eastside boxing territory, not by a long shot.

I dont really think so.Actually I think its picked up in new members and good contributions.Many old vets missed lately but many drift in and drift out.Ive almost been reading more than posting those long winded hard to decipher posts haha but think we're still on the right track.Really wish we had better organized big fight sticky threads but its getting better.All in all I think the Mods are top notch and keep things together.

Read my first post and then read your reply and tell me who went over the top and started to get personal.

If you spent a lot of time and was passionate about something I'm pretty sure you would defend it and not appreciate somebody questioning it. All I said was 'Please don't criticize' that didn't warrant your tirade.

Maybe I shouldn't have called you a cock, but I thought you were being one, so I told you!

except all the Mods (except Mick) and all the posters :cool:

DK - If you've not been round how can you possibly judge the site? You may have dropped by on bad day, let's face it happens to all forums, some ponce starts trolling - if you logged on then it may not look great but the mods are pretty hot on that and give everyone a lot of freedom to say what they like....which leads me to the next point

You can't pull the 'too bad get over it' move then start bitching because someone then calls you on it in private.

Mod or not if someone thinks you're acting like a cock Saddos has always been a place where that could be said without too many tears.

If you don't like things as they are why not contribute something positive?

I( apologized if anyone was offended nothing more I can say

It's your opinion and should be treated as such. People can either take it or leave it.



I agree all things relevant to Pac & his army... Even Floyd to an extend. Mind you, when i joined this Forum, a hell of a lot of people were talking about Hatton, Cotto & The Klitschko's. I think fan boys are here to stay, i think that's what bring's people to the Forum... Any forum. Which is a good thing.

Maybe it's upto us (i dunno if i've been here long enough to say us?) elder statesman to direct the attention span of the seemingly shallow conservationists somewhere else?

I mean, i don't really look at who is creating the majority of threads on the main board, or who is making threads predominately on whatever subject matter but maybe some of those who aren't happy with the direction of the forum (*wink-cough* Dahx Kahn) should make the conciencious (i really can't spell for shit, KON-SEE-EN-CHOS :mad:) decision to steer the forum in the right direction.

Secondly, i think a lot of people like to play around with various persona's. Fact ;)

By this i mean some people (me included) follow certain quirky little trends. Some just like to adopt certain demeanour's in aid of making a point.
I'm sure this kind of stuff quite simply comes and goes and can just be ignored.

Other than that. I'm quite happy with the place :)

I just wish Missy would show me her tits :-\

I knew you liked those pictures I send you of me naked on the bear-skin rug slathered in peanut butter. I figured that when you said you were contacting the police that you were just playing hard to get.

Like anything or anyone,the site evolves and goes through stages.

I think alot of old time posters have already said everything they can think a number of times and its just rehashing the same; but add new fighters names to the same thought process.

People change too, look at VD, he has calmed down alot from the first years style.

Daxx, I didnt take offense at all.

But then again; you could of blamed and named me personally and I still would'nt of cared. So long as you are up front thats great with me and all other Aussies on here too I imagine, shoot from the hip and we dont take any offence.

Also Micks input over the years can be seen by his horrrifc;D simply amazing post toll.You cant expect anyone to keep up that pace or match it for quality of posts.


I sort of view the main board like an ocean, up and down, sometimes calm, sometimes angry sometimes down right boring.

If a thread starts with "What if ?" That makes me think "what if I just dont open your lame assed thread and die of boredom in a flat sea along with you.

See Man over board, I'm a fukkin main board traitor :spongebob:.

Still mod the joint though,

I clean up in there occasionally if the others arent in there.

The place is quiet these days. The quality is still top notch compared to any other forum but it is quiet lately.

I haven't read any posts yet but I actually think the main board is at it's healthiest in a while. For a while the Pac fans (well Xadu really) just had a death grip on the board that couldn't be shaked. I think a lot of new members have stepped in and have posted really good which we didn't seem to have for a while because all the new members were drowned out by the Pac fans.

Here's what I think happens...

Sometimes we just notice the bad things more so then the good things.
An example I can give is from my job, I have an assistant she's a good worker overall she does he job well I can't complain and don't complain. She completes her tasks and is reliable BUT it just so happens that she keeps getting caught by the GM on her cell phone.

Like I said good worker does her job etc. etc. but it just so happens that the GM notices the cell phone thing more so then anything else.

I can't defend her because she's not suppose to be using her phone. I don't mind that she's on the phone because its never effected her work.

Samething happens here sometimes the bad things are more noticeable and stand out like a sore thumb and the better/good things go unoticed.

Very well said Andre and truthfully I'm humbled and thank you for speaking of me that way.
I'm sure I've had my share piss up posts where I just went off the deep end... The night of JMM-Casamayor was one to remember...;D

Very true, a mate of mine said to me once when we were talking about relationships. he said

" Its the easy way out to think the worse about someone".

That has kept me in good stead in my marriage at times.

Practice looking for the better in people and guess what you find.

And thanks bro.
