Seems there was more activity, more exchanges between boxing fans. Seems like the posts were better and more creative. I don't know, maybe it's my imagination... but it also seems like some of the better, veteran posters have gone, while at the same time it seems we have more hot-headed newbies. Oh well... that being said, it's still the best boxing forum around. Hope to be coming into saddo's for years to come.
I have got sick of the same questions.
Mostly ones that start, What if ?
What if I just have a sleep and the new lot work it out.:bag:
everyone was a newbie at some point
People tend to come and go or else just go, but that's life on the internet. Some actually stay and that is always good to see. I think on the main board new stories are a little slower to emerge and here on the other boards there is less mischief being created. That is because El Gamo and Wacko aren't posting anymore and Booze and Bilbo are too quiet these days.

I think the problem is that VD went civil on us.... VD was like a pitbull without a leash when it came to noobs. What happened? :D
VD, your letting all the hot heads steal your thunder. Do something!!! :o :o
Na seriously, we've never really been elitist here so (apart from the odd welcome arse biting from VD) we just go with the flow and in a way that's a good thing.
I always feel that if your not happy with the way things are going, why not contribute accordingly?
I'm somewhat inflammatory most of the time so right now I'm being hypocritical but then again, I've never really been one to lead by example... Hence why Big H is a Mod and I'm not :mad:
;D

What. You've only been here a few months longer than me. :)
But yeah... it's the non-elitist atmosphere here that has kept me coming back throughout the years. I'm not gonna lie. I enjoy watching the occasional butt-kicking initiation given out by the likes of VD once in awhile. It's a guilty pleasure, sure... but it livens up the place periodically. But I also enjoy seeing the old vets chime in once in awhile. Nothing like seeing these old fogies from 2003 come in and post every now and then.
;D
Oh yeah absolutely... Scrap's one liners still get me to this day ;DQuote:

Its not all bad: Soon you will be slightly deaf, short or long sighted, forgetful,a bit sore when you wake up. You will cease to care what you wear or when or what anybody else thinks of you. You can say No whenever you wish to and call people on bullshit when you do hear it. So you find new freedoms including a new take on freedom of speech out in publicQuote:

That is usually unpopular but adds to the action or reaction ;D.
(Also new freedoms eventuate because you can carry a nasty stick around with you legally. ) Poking youngsters out of my way is something i have look forwards to.

Well, being old's got to have SOME perks.
:)
Maybe we should start making our own fun. My suggestion is that we watch more boxing and talk about it.
Good Idea, we could even fight over who's right.:spongebob:Quote:

I definitely think that the success of the board, has added a lot of...dare I say it...stupid fans.....used to be that we could have disagreements on boxers and fights but the quality of the comments were more intelligent...but I read the main board these days and its nothing but fan boys on a lot of posts....
but I guess that is what happens when the board became successful. But I do miss the old days when we practically knew everybody that was here....
Ah the old days MD - when we used to just quote Rambo ;DQuote:

Quote Rambo huh? Why don't you just fuck off, asshole.Quote:

There seems to be more fan boys nowadays and less pure boxing fans. Having said that, i've been knocking around for almost 5 years so it can't be that bad.
Youtube doesn't help :rolleyes:
The way debates degenerate there is shocking!! I wonder if that is impacting on younger peoples approach to debates in general..?
I suppose it depends on what draws you to this Forum. A fighter, a fight, a sense of national pride??
To be totally honest, I was drawn to this forum via the Fight Night board. Even then before I registered (late 2004) I noticed (and got sucked into), even back then, these little divides... Funny little arguments that I, at the time, couldn't comprehend.
I remember thinking ''WTF is this place?!'' ;D
