Ghost Town

[Bundana]

Right you are, Dan... couldn't have said it any better myself!

What a pity, that almost every thread, where different viewpoints are being discussed, almost invariably ends up in childish name-calling.

We have a small site (only a little over 500 members) in Denmark, where opinions often clash and develop into heated arguments... but we never see any mudslinging like here, as it's simply not allowed. Someone tries anything like that, and it's out the door!

It's a ghostown because everyone left.

Once upon a time we had like 50 regular members now we have less than 10 it seems.

Benny, Scott, Joseph, NChristo, WildBlueYonda, GJC (RIP), Ruben, Barn, BigStereo, Surgeon, Jab, Jrosales and the list goes on and on of posters who don't post here anymore. Most don't at all but the few that do aren't regular. Back then the above were posting daily.

What was great about this time was everyone I just mentioned above knew Boxing, but more importantly than that were respectful and willing to converse about differing viewpoints. That's the main issue here, we aren't all going to have the same opinion and the whole point of this site is to discuss things we may not necessarily agree with but we all had the knowledge and respect to go back and forth with it.

Whereas today if you have an opinion that differs posters just jump on their high and mighty high horse and accuse posters of "never having been in a ring before" despite having no clue if that is the case. Which really is just pathetic.

A lot of guys didn't leave, they were booted out for no good reason.

That idiot thebanstick, when he was in charge, went on a crazy banning spree. There were no 3 day bans or 7 day bans with the nut. Every single ban was permanent - over anything.

Forget name calling, he just banned people for double posts, posting in the wrong section, bans for people asking why someone else was banned, anything and everything. The bans were ridiculous.

Bats threw someone out for it a couple of days ago

And rightly so, we can't have the place running amok!

Civilised folk you Danes

Probably because the Danes, after that veneer of civility, have a part of them that is pure viking berzerker! And while many here might wind up throwing hard punches, there is nothing like a good rusty battle axe across the brow to settle a disagreement about the footwork of Archie Moore!!!
