Firstly and more importantly, sorry to hear about your old man and what hardships came upon the family. We've all been there to one degree or another and when real life steps in a forum of any sort is usually last thought. Other times it's a weekly daily escape. Works differently for people and to each their own. As mentioned above posters come and posters go, some just change their names for whatever reason and some become old furniture that never leaves the home. The depth and individuality makes this place and it keeps me coming back. You took ten yrs off and now dip your toe in the water again with 16 posts only to knock it about rather quickly, not entirely fair maybe but hope ya give yourself a chance. It's not a competition, just some guys and gals yapping about a sport they like. And other nonsense on certain other boards .

In fairness everything seems and feels 'fresher' when it's new to us and there are few days that go by where we don't reminisce about first days gone by and the good ol days. I mean you're talking 10-15 yrs bud. Take the good of then and move forward with it now. But none of us can 'go back' in life. Likewise new members today or not so new can't be held to times they never knew or judged in comparison nor should they. Now is now. Happens when you grow older and it happens here and it's pretty much the backbone of some boxing forums. Reflection and highlights, backbone of the sport really. But have to disagree to this not being a completely open place and just don't see these opinions being shot down or disallowed that you mention. Mere fact that you shoot across the bow..dictatorship really?..but people come in asking and giving opinion speaks to that. I've been on a decade which pales to some grizzled wankers before me and honestly cannot remember a single time when I was told 'do not say that'. And make no mistake..Saddo Boxing still kicks plenty o arse and that's not a mod speaking or looking for brownie points, that's from a boxing fan who got tired of watching fights with clueless people and his dog . Relax mate and have fun with it, or don't.
