guys important we gotta make a difference here

[J !]

I agree with everything that has been said, the other thing that is annoying me at the moment is people replying to old threads. Someone said today i hope witter beats N'Dou, whats this all about?

I REPLIED TO THAT MATE....think its someone spamming so they can get their posts up to download fights.

[Lol999]

I think it was a guy called AKHAN, he was replying to everything this morning, usually "thanks for that". I think he was just after the downloads as I've just done a search for his posts and there aren't any! Looks like Rick sussed him

Lol

I just ignore the childish name calling and I don't allow myself to get ****** into it either. Some posters put up racist remarks as well and that makes the site a lot less fun. But the problem is that we have too many people who can't stand it when somebody has the unmitigated temerity to disagree with them. Disagreement is part of being a fan of any sport, but I refuse to waste my time with school kids, whose boxing knowlege begins at Tyson and ends at Lewis, who want to spit racist remarks and bicker when their limited knowlege of the sport is exposed.

Have I been banned or something? I hit "quote" to reply on this thread, and it gave me a blanked out reply box that can't be typed in? Also noticed other things going on.....can't view the "store", or check the bank....any ideas?

[J !]

I DOUBT THAT MATE NOT IF YOU CAN POST.

good one though chaps im really pleased with the repsonse this thread got it shows a lot of you out there do care and it kinda restores the faith, thank you and a good weekend to you all
peace all to the boxingscene community

it saddens me to see there is more and more insults being traded and less and less boxing discussed.

This place at times is turning into a war zone and we could do without it, if people put as much thought into their boxing analysis as they do their insults (though i do admit some are funny) the this would be the Bible of boxing websites.

As it is, its pretty thin on displays of boxing knowledge at times and i know some of you guys are better than that.

I think we need to up the ante here people lets talk more boxing and less insults and verbals.

If the knowledge that some of you have could come to the fore it really would help attract some more high brow posters, maybe even fighters and trainers. I know it happens on other sites, so how cool would that be you could actually discuss careers and fights with the people involved maybe even some of your heroes.

At present this aint gonna happen cos there are too many people giving each other ****. Its a shame you can help Rick and boxing scene here or you can keep this petty bollox up til all you have left is a bunch of guys taking the piss out of each other.


its up to you guys, but I for one am getting pretty tired of wading through 1700 posts to find one that might be boxing related with any substance, come on guys you can do this

Unfortunately not enough people feel that way. I find less and less reason to even log on anymore, and I used to post atleast 3 hr's a day, every day. It's a shame, cause I really enjoyed it. Now I just dont care so much about posting and/or keeping up with the threads. Hopefully things will chill out before long and go back to normal??
I dont know exactly when things started going all to hell, but they sure went quickly, didnt they?

well maybe we can all actually turn things around.

in reality its our site and we should make sure its
a place we all wanna be.

the "pinoy lounge" was a good start, separating "the lounge"
from the pinoy topics,which obviously makes "the lounge" more
navigable.

keeping similar topics to a minimum and not filling
the threads with flames is another step.

what next/else?

[joeboxer]

yeah thats part of the point too though fellas its not just the insults, and im not slagging this site or its posters off, its some times the inane posts, if we all take a little more time to think and analyse, post with knowledge thought it will improve the board.

Im not saying anyone in particular but its commented on how many different threads or useless threads there are.

my point being theres a lot of knowledge and interesting opinons here, i know there are I just cant be arsed wading through 19 pages of crap to find em.

ill make a note of the guys here cos you obviously give a **** and try and engage you in some decent boxing talk where possible!

good on ya chaps, as Johnny swift would say im off for a cup of tea (i dont even drink the stuff but hey ill go along with the joke )

Your posts are way too long and boring. Try to be more readable and less british.

[Crouching Tiger]

I have observed that a good number of posters here are so loose in using foul language. If you post something they don't like or don't agree with, they easily let out a flurry (no, make that a blizzard!) of "f..k" and "s..t", angry tirades and diatribes, racial slurs, sexual bashings and even insults as they think they're more superior to others when it comes to boxing.

I remember once, I tried to restrain a poster from being so foul and rude. But instead of refraining, I got a dose of even more f..k and s..t stuff from the guy!

Why do these people enjoy using foul words at every opportunity? Beats me really. Jokes are readily appreciated while insufficient knowledge can be tolerated. Wouldn't it be a nicer world out here in these forum if posters were more friendly and civil in their language and more respectful of other's views? What have they got to lose if they clean up and delete these f...k and s..t garbage and insults from their vocabularies? Nothing I suppose!!

Great thread, JPW!!

It didnt used to be the way it is now..makes you wonder how much it has to do with all the "newbies"...'back in the day' we may have disagreed with each other, but nobody called anybody else trialer trash, inbred skank, food stamp recipitent, oh God, the list goes on and on! If they had, I would have possibly thrown in the towel long ago...too damn many females have already been run off this site, so thats the main reason I was determined to stick it out; I'm stubborn that way! Lately I just dont care though
Hopefully it will get better, who knows?
