Was it not like this back in the day Duke?

It's got worse, kid, it really has.

The age range of posters seems to have dropped dramatically. I remember the day when kids could have a proper conversation. Now it's all "DIS GUY FEARS DAT OTHER GUY - OMG, WHAT A FREAKIN' *****!"

I've been here for a while as well.

Posters just come here to force their "Fighter's Propaganda" down your throught...
and threatin you with their E-intimdation.

Yes, the majority of posts these days seem to have the explicit aim saying "my boxer is better than your boxer", which would be tolerable if there was ever any reason behind it, but usually there isn't, its just insults.

It pisses me off too. We're all boxing fans aren't we?

... you know, I don't really give a good **** about:

* Posters giving each other bad karma/putting each other on ignore

* Polls about which posters suck the most

* Polls about what race posters are

* Threads about fictional boxers

* Threads about how xenophobic you are

* Childish flames in threads in the place of adult discussion

I've been posting here for years. Most of you new guys are precisely that... new. You're not "characters", you're just new punks that are taking up space.

I come to Non Stop Boxing to see BOXING DISCUSSION.

Is this the "if you can't beat em, join em" thread?

probably a lot to do with the fact that forums like ogrish(which for those who dont know is probably the hottest home of flaming) are closed to new members and they come here to vent and bring down the vibe of a generally cool place.

Too few of them have the sense to absorb the knowledge of their peers. Then they sometimes even think that they are a character here, when they're not even the equivalent of a one-hit wonder.

Too true, kid. I saw a thread the other day "the big debators of NSB" or some such ****... it was full of noobs, kid.

Don't be boring and predictable, kid.
