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.

dudes cool it please, this isnt right.
that guy is banned.... as for the welcome i still make a point of welcoming any new poster who posts good content when replying to their post.
i too think it is important![]()
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.

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.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I sort of agree with you Greg, I also found the site very welcoming when I joined up years ago, one of the reasons I stuck around. There's a good core of posters here, almost all much more knowledgable than me, but I think that we have to have a board like this does indicate that either a) we have rose-tinted sunglasses about what it was like years ago, politicians were good people and summers went on forever, and we just ignored more of the bad stuff; or b) the popularity of the forum will attract more people with agendas and those who are completely obsessive about the guy they support, and can't believe that their opinion is fact, whilst all others are invalid.
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

Agreed the storm will go I am just amazed at how these guys react to this shit.......
I think we should start a boxing tabloid we would make millions.....
These flash in the pan guys would be our biggest customers....
We could have headlines like...
"Evander Holyfield really 2000 years old, states he is fighting for the honor of Cleopatra"......
Or
"The FBI exposes the truth about Valuev, files show last name is really Sasquatch"......
Oh I am sure mate.....I will call anyone a nuthugger that takes out common sense discussion and can not get past something like a fighter's weakness, trouble's, or just acts like the guys is the reason the world exist....
Pacquiao nut huggers, Floyd nut huggers, Hatton nut huggers when they were around.....
I think may the post you might be refering to is the one when I was arguing with someone who was a PBF nuthugger and said...While I agree with the drug testing it is something that should be implemented by the whole sport and one guy can not go around making demands that are really not required by the commission"....I even said I was disregarding the situation between the two and saying it as a statement....
Think the guys said something like...."Pacquiao won't because he is afraid and you are one of the Pacquiao bandwagon"...or something like that.....
Funny thing is Brian Kenny and Dan Rafael said the same thing I did on Friday night fights.....
But this guy said it should be OK because it was a demand from FLOYD and a fighter of Floyds caliber should be allowed to make any demand he wants blah blah blah....
Henceforth a NUTHUGGER!!!!![]()
