    I imagine it's a design feature. On the old site, certain posters with enormous ignore lists would start popular threads and then lots of posters were excluded from the discussion.

    Those users then get annoyed and move elsewhere, and the forum loses traffic.

    Boxingscene was forced to upgrade due the old versions of vbulletin no longer being compatible with the latest versions of PHP.

    You can't run insecure PHP, if you do, you end up getting hacked.
    This makes sense from a business perspective. I had a long ignore list and loads of posters used to get pissed (especially the ones with trillions of alts) they can’t post on my threads. They made me a villain and used to moan daily about it.

    However, as much as this is a profit-oriented business that gets lucrative based on traffic - posters also deserve some protection from the forum. Internet is a get-away from the harsh realities of life and some decorum needs to be enforced. How can you enjoy a forum when people do more stalking and trying force their inane/jaundiced/biased opinions on others through stalking and many alts? So it has to be a 2-way street.

    1. Posters should be limited to one username.
    2. Stalking should be banned.

    When a poster starts telling you that you need to support a boxer he/she supports because the boxer you support has lost and is now a disappointment and keeps stalking you - it’s crossing the line and it defeats everything about fandom. Sport was built around wins and losses and the nucleus of it is that it replicates the harsh realities of life. And diehard sports fans support athletes and teams they can relate to - that’s the connection between sports and the people.

    Regardless, I still think XenForo would be a better template for this forum than vbulletin. XenForo simplifies a lot of things that are much more complicated on this forum and also provides more in terms of things you can do. And that will help with traffic.

    If I may ask: are you a web developer?

        I don't do man-crush - that's for you Wilder and Fury nuthuggers and insecure bellends.

        I support who I think is the best in the division and a solid guy I've known from day-dot.

        I don't switch sides - I was raised on the real code and all I know is ladders, no snakes.

          **** Em, you’re a cheerleader with an anti American agenda. They simply aren’t going to let you insult 90% of us. Why don’t you just move on?

                90% of those stalking me aren't even Americans - they're Africans.

                  I swear you’re charlie zelenoff the delusion is just too strong for you to be mentally all there, go seek some help my dude nobody is stalking you not everybody has “alts” which you even accused me of. Fact is just nobody likes you because you’re a nob nothing to do with how much you love AJ but that is what is driving you to be such a nob in the first place. Get out of your moms basement once in a while and get some fresh air it will be good for your mental health.

                      It's "knob", not "nob", you illiterate bonobo.

                      Unlike you, I don't post for "likes" - I post whatever the ffcck I feel like posting.

                      Interestingly, I've got more "likes" than you and it shows more people actually agree with me than those who agree with you and your ilks who post for "likes".

                      It shows I post what most are afraid of posting due to miserable losers and stalking attack dogs like you.

                      How about stop following me from thread to thread like a dog? Start from there.
