    No threads during fight...shhh...private

    As if it's a sombre funeral, the site has muzzled blogging during the Floyd/Marquez fight. Could only mean one thing.....somebody thinks Floyd is about to fold.

    I doubt it. So what's the reason things are restricted during the fight??

    They're trying to contain the traffic that shuts the site down during/after every major fight.

      They don't want the site to blow up.

      A lot of users will see ads tonight, which makes them money, so if the site goes down (ie the hamster that powers the server) it's definitely a bad thing.

      Below is a live picture of the hamster hard at work powering the website.

        Two good things comes from it, the forum probably won't crash and posters can still post as soon as the fight is over( just in one thread, which makes sense). Normally after any Mayweather fight, its crashed for hours.

            Have you not tried to post after a big fight.

            It's always a nightmare. About time they did something IMHO.

                  There goes the robbery and I told you so threads I was planning on.

                  Actually I was planning on making them regardless of who won.

                  Now, I can't. Damn.
