Come on mate theres more to it than that, just not the same anymore, there has just been two massive fights in the last six months Pac/Cotto and Mayweather/Marquez and the intrest wasnt huge compared to yester year.
I honestly think there is no coincidence that Calzaghe has gone and Hatton is not doing much on the world scene this place has gone very quiet. Use to be buzzing on here hundreds of people on at any given time.

LOL I didnt mean me:cool:
i take it since you have been on here solid of the last 8 hours you noticed i had this place shut to everyone for over an hour today and just opened it up about 10 minutes ago and hey there has been more than ten posts in that time alone. ???
Sorry boss man dont mean to put a downer on it, yes i noticed it was down for an hour, I was over exaggerating a bit with ten posts, but it has gone dead on here in the last few months.Quote:

It will pick up when the bigger fights start happening. What with Mosley-Berto going there's really nothing happening at the moment (this weekend is great but the smaller guys never get the same attention.. especially with non-American's because it's not on TV).
Depends on what time of day you visit I noticed....Not too mention I noticed that many of the top posters and semi regulars are becoming fed up with all the Pacquiao/Mayweather nonsense...Some guys HAVE to mention them in every post in every thread,,,
EG- a thread about Adamek as a HW brought at least 3 references to Manny out of the 10 post in the thread...
You can't talk about any topic in boxing without some asshole mentioning a dead topic...
I just want to say...
I have been around for a long time, i just only can view Saddo while i am at work (no internet at home), so my posting is very limited... But this is my favorite boxing forum because of the versatility of its fan base and you get a full range of perspectives... Even though i don't agree with them, being that i am a die hard Pacfan, but i too don't enjoy the flooded PBF/PAC debate... Its a dead horse now...
I think everyone has noticed that the forum has slowed down recently and that much of the discussion has, understandably, been focused on issues surrounding the Pacquiao - Mayweather debacle. However, just complaining about it isn't going to change anything and I really think that people (myself included) should take an active role in creating the type of forum they want to have. If we make a commitment to regularly discussing the types of topics we want to see, then I think improvement will begin almost immediately. I will personally try to participate in as many main board topics which I have an opinion on (when I have the time) and I would encourage others to do the same by either starting their own threads or by posting in other peoples.
That being said, it is true that boxing is in a bit of a lull right now, so some slow down does go along with that.
There is some truth to what CFH is saying, I'll sit in front of the computer for a while for work or school with the browser open and check it every once in a while seeing if somebody posted while I could just be starting some kind of discussion instead of wasting my time like today making bizarre comments on the Tyson-Liston thread :shakehead:
Im always starting threads with breaking news and new storys in the boxing world, just doesnt seem to be enough people about to get many replys. I have about 10 British storys that I thought about posting but maybe it's the wrong attitude but I cant be arsed no one goes in there.Quote:

Spot on CFH and Ouma ;)
and skel you are right about the UK board...its pointless as all the uk talk gets posted in the boxing talk forum so prob time to merge them.
I must admit that I barely knew the British forum existed. I rarely post in there. As for the site, I think it is a bit slow at the moment, but hope it will pick up when we get a solid fight.Quote:

Well pizz off.....I'm here !!!:cwm13:;D Have my own cot in the back room next to the mini fridge
Is it me or does the daytime postings differ much from nighttime?You miss so much during the day...you know...while your working and doing that real life thing.
It's always like this this time of year, when there aren't as many big fights. I mean shit only Friday Night Fights shows boxing currently in America, HBO and Showtime both have some time and the ESPN cards haven't been anything special. Plus there is plenty of activity in the Pac-Mayweather board.
what ever happened to the live forum
We need to get some sort of facebook appreciation society going where we can all put faces to the usernames and chat about what a mucky mare missy is ;D
I think that it's just normal that for some periods, it will slow down, it would be unthinkable, to me, to assume that the board will always go full throttle, peoples are sometimes busy, things that are happening in boxing have been thoroughly dug till something else pans out from it all. I remember this forum to have been slowed this summer as well and then all of a sudden, it started back with a couple hundred posts every day. Personally, I am not too worried about it for the moment, I just see it as some normal tide balance so to speak.

Jaz and Kel are often involved as well. It's a lot easier than posting in the fight thread, especially if things start to get bogged down.Quote:

There are two facebook pages dedicated to Saddo's.Quote:

I blame it on the pseudo-intellectual postings of CFH.
Now the most wild action we get here is when miles "pushes the envelope" with another one of his dry remarks
I would come but my port coms are blocked and therefore I can't access it:(Quote:

Hey, in the midst of my drunken ramblings about international socialism I've been known to start threads about getting piss stains out of old toilet seats and the virtues of heavy-metal music.Quote:

Yeah, that is really frustrating when that happens. If it happens a couple of times I pretty much give up on trying to log in for the day. It becomes too much effort.Quote:

When i first came back in August/September i usually only contributed to the main board. Now i pretty much never post in there - some people just twist every topic to say whatever they want to say regardless of if its relevant. Also there is far too much repetition and people not reading the thread properly. Now i stick mostly to lets get it on, but i still don't post often enough.
As for UK board, i think its a shame it gets used rarely. Sometimes I would like to post something that would only really be interesting from a British perspective, so I don't put it on main board, but then don't bother posting it on UK board either as i know it will probably be a day before it gets a reply. The same goes for replying to topics on UK board. I do reply but I'm less inclined too then if it was busy. Thats my fault though. If more people started posting then others would etc etc, it would snowball i think.
Oh, i see you have already taken the UK board Saddo.
Thats a shame. RIP UK board. I'm sorry i neglected you.
:eek:
