Saddo I am putting you on the spot, get in here.

[CutMeMick]

I can sense that Saddo's favorite MOD is CMM.

To be fair if I was Saddo my favourite member would be CutMeMick.

For me he's clearly the biggest and most loyal fan of boxing I know. He's made over 20,000 posts here and has met also as many superstar boxers as Larry Merchant.

What I like most about Mick though is that he's a true fan. He shows his love for the sport by spending his hard earned cash on going to all the big fights, he goes to press conferences, he buys boxing gloves and then meets his stars to get them signed, he collects boxing memorabilia.

What he never does though is make posts telling us how extensive his boxing knowledge is, how many fights he owns on dvd, and how he knows more than us because he real ring experience.

In other words, he's not a dick hole.

He mods fairly, is never nasty to anyone, doesn't seek to tell us how much more knows about the sport than the rest of us idiot's and he's Saddo's most loyal and consistently posting member.

He's the epitome of a true boxing fan and if I ran this site he'd be my favourite member for sure.

Bilbs honestly dude thanks man, I got a bit misty eyed there as I read that. Gonna save this post and any time you call me offensive names like you normally do I will quickly open this post which I've copied and pasted in a Microsoft Word document to remind me that deep down inside (not too deep as you've only got about 4 feet of body) you care about me.


I do part here, I'm hardly on here now I think because when I do post is mostly when everyones on that people notice it. But as of late I've only gotten on here late nights when I'm back from my part time job and I want to relax a bit and clear my mind from everyday life.

I've got so much going on that I like to get things done and get them done right so that I can have spare time for myself. But it get's harder and harder by the day to find time.

You're damn right about Mick. The other one that stands out is the Wackster, I was glad when he came back for a while, assured he was OK, it was pretty much his board for a good long while. His friendly nature seemed to rub off on the new members and set up the tone of the board when it was at its best a couple years back. Still love the board now when I get the chance to visit.

Thanks for the words Bomp, much appreciated..

My god do I miss Wacks that dude made my days he's something else.
Sometimes I think and can't help but wonder if all the time he spent on here had anything to do with his divorce.
It would suck to think that it did, cause that's not what this place should be. This place is to come and relax and hang out and Wacks made this place his EVERYDAY life from doing articles to his write ups for fight nights and the round by rounds.

I just hope he comes back soon man, I miss that dude...

I used to be a mod at a gaming site. The job sucks folks. I gave it up after about a year. It can really take the fun out of a place being a mod. The ones you considered yourself tight with, distance themselves from you. The bickering and bullshit you have to weed through can be immense.

It may not be as bad for them here as for the most part, members are respectful and self moderated. In busier sites though, it can be a handful.

What was great about the job though, was kicking the fruitcates out of the gaming servers. You know the ones, the Counterstrike retards that have their shit all hacked up. Back in the CS 1 days, there was a lot of it.

I used to f*ck with the assholes Quake2 and Quake3 config files, and change their attack (fire) bind to kill. They would press the button and commit suicide!LOL

Def. Dean and I agree with what you said about Modding...
Shit can get heavy and it's def. busy here especially around the time of big fights.
I think with time I've learned to deal with how people behave here I know who's just having a fucked up day and I know who's being a dickhead.

I care about what you guys think and I'm always willing to listen to anyone for advice or anything else they have in mind. But I'm also not afraid of what will people say if I lock a thread or move a thread or warn a poster about something.

Shit I've warned several people about some of their posting ways and have asked them to clean it up a bit or stop the shit talking, then turned around and had a good debate with them a few days later...
I always move threads and merge threads that I feel should I'm a neat freak I like things organized and in order.

All in all this place has been a part of me for the past years, I've been able to share all the opp. I've had to attend fights and events of our sport and to be able to chat with you guys about the sport and learn is the pay off for me just learning more and more.
