The difference between now and when I signed up on Saddoboxing.

[killersheep]

I was thinking about this today, we seem to get new members on a pretty regular basis, many don't post, some spam one post and go on their way. Some on transplants signing on here to further enforce a specific view etc. etc. and some will become long term contributing members.

I remember when I first signed up here, I was blown away with the welcome I got. Wacko was really the spearhead in that action. It really made me feel like my opinions and views were worth something. I haven't really seen that lately. I am going to make an effort and encourage the rest of you to do the same to be more accommadating to our new bretheren.

I realize it's tough to do sometimes when someone comes on here posting the about how horrible this place and how filled with losers and calling people "complete pricks"

Yeah I'm talking about this guy:

Totally agree, some of the most solid members are hardly around anymore it's a shame. It has gone way to quiet for months now.

Good call its a big part of it for sure, but we do lose allot naturally as the place evolves, people do too.
Alot of people cant bear to read the same thing twice ,others like to argue their point until its just that, an ongoing argument.Thats when some other people leave because they couldnt be fukked skimming through the ongoing rehashed crap to find something new and thoughtful.
Its a hard call pleasing everyone, Saddo has done well splitting the posts on the main board.I've looked into the Manny /Mayweather section twice,
that is what puts other people off ,what is going on in there.

i too think it is important

No doubt. I got the same habit

I don't even feel like I can talk aboing sometimes any more... Killer posted a thread a few days back 'defining boxing moments in photograph' the board was full of posts like that... it still is but the problem is now there is a lot of bickering and rubbish threads to get through... back in the day there was loads of talk about contemporary and vintage boxing.

Now and find myself argueing with morons and posting very infrequently in ask the trainer.

The fact that saddo had to make a seperate forum for pac/manny says about the frequency of idiot that we sometimes have and the fact that after trying to be objective within that board I've just gave up trying says the rest.

[Saddo]

got to dissagree Adam... the boxing talk board is full of great threads there is hardly any shit ones on there...

all the crap is in the pac sub board,,, what i really can't understand is that the people who where pissed off with all the pac topics apearing on the main board have now moved to the pac board to argue with the idiots.

makes no sense to me at all... leave the nutters in there to spout crap and just carry on getting involded in the good topics on the main board as its as clean as its ever been in a long time.

Boss man, I like the sub board, cause I try to do both. I spend a lot of time repeating myself on the Pac board, but now I don't have to go back 2-3 pages on the main board to find a new topic about something besides Pac/Mayweather. I think that it's great that it exists.

Well I got to say and the last time I said it people threw a fucking tantrum and started to take it personal but....Regardless of the new Pacquiao/Mayweather sub board...Which by the way I have to say was a great idea to help sort shit out.....

It seems that these days no matter who you like that there is somone who has a smart ass comment to make about it...I don't think it is right that if you have a thread like lets say,,,Greatest rivalries and you mention Pacquiao Vs Marquez there is not one but a bunch of assholes who start with calling you a nut hugger...Calling you an ass kisser...who have to turn the attention away from the thread just to start some bullshit.....

God forbid you mention the names..

Margarito...Pacquiao...Hatton...Mayweather...and so on regardless if the names are mentioned due to the current situation or not.....

Almost like tyou have to choose your words wisely on the main boards these days....

Hell to be honest mate if things have not gotten so out of hand you would not have even needed to make a sub board about Mayweather and Pacquiao....

To make matters worse like Andre said it is usually nonsense being posted and not even anything worth while just a bunch of you are a nut hugger..no you are...Manny is a cheater...No Floyd is scared.....Hardly anything even worth while debating....

One main reason why I shy away from new comers...I fear either like was mentioned earlier they are here just to spam or post bullshit or it is an Alt of some member who is looking to stir up shit hoping they can do it then be able to use their regular screen name to hide from what they did...

I have been here for about 4 years now and have had my arguements with a few guys...Some my fault some not but in truth even the biggest of arguements that have gotten personal I can honestly say at least I knew when it came down to it these guys knew their shit about boxing and when the quarral was over we would go back to top notch boxing talk again....

Maybe some agree and some don't but it is how I personally see things at current....

I just trying to stay away from the Pacquiao Mayweather threads and keep with the simple ones hopefully it will all blow over and when it does the jackasses who hopped in from no whereville will fade out and thi9ngs will resume as they were and us going back to the best forum on the net

If someone had the money and inclination we could get an independent person who is familiar with boxing to survey several days posts from 3-5 years ago and compare them with the posts of today, taking into account the relative popularity of the sport and the matchups then existing.

Things change, as we do and our priorities.Mine at the moment are getting my inventions to market. Before the Aliens get here and everything is outdated, it worries me.

If you need some market research, I have three days off per week and am available for £30 a day plus travel for any medicine tests or product testing you need.

Also, if anyone needs to buy blood, semen or a kidney, the recession insists all of mine are for sale! As for the aliens, I'm sure they don't care about anything we do.
