HANK THE AGRY DRUNKEN DWARF!!!

i disagree don.. the discussion at hand is why has the climate changed here at mmanews causing long time posters to leave..... i believe we have too many posters/users here who will swallow whatever is sold to them without question. this has really changed the climate plus the site has grown so much.. but i don't mind that. i think its good.

this maybe a reason why people like legend are leaving (hell, he even told me that).... truthfully, i think my time here is also running short... the constant couture and fedor bashing and the endless dana nut hugging is starting to get a lil' tiresome...

but i'm probably going to stay.. this site isn't blocked at work and helps the day go faster... guys like warchief, smoogy, palma, crush, ramma, chuckbooty, etc.. still keep things tolerable imo.

He's a legend.

deeznizzies: you may be on to something there. I think people tire of the propaganda machine and when we see the casual fan start to move in to the sport we may come off smug and elitist because we have been exposed to more than what we are fed.

i also get tired of seeing the same exact threads just with different thread titles flooding the general forum. Apparently, some people are just too cool for school to use the SEARCH function. I can understand posting a new thread that had already been posted by someone else anywhere from over a week to a month, but when someone posts information and then someone else posts that SAME EXACT article/information in less than 5 days, jesus....

fuck it, it doesnt matter. Lets just flood the shit out of the general forum with pointless threads that have already been posted.

This is why Dork and I should still be moderating the general forum, we share an obsession for merging redundant posts

Oh I hear you on that.

Scenario

Thread 1:
Interview: Fedor will fight Sylvia

Thread 2:
A summary of the interview where Fedor says he will fight Sylvia.


I am merging that stuff all the time.

What I don't like about the forum nowadays is that people post with out reading what other people have already said. So in turn, you can read the same damn idea thats already been said if you do read everything. I would neg those people but most of the time I neg, I get neg'd back for neg'in cause they don't take it to well.

I think the rep system is fine the way it is, but I wish there was a way to maybe view only posts by people with over 100+ rep or something. Might give that good ol small community feel back to the growing city. Sometimes I feel like blocking a lot of the users posts permanently.

I like this site for a few reasons though:

The upcoming fight thread, a great place to see rumored and upcoming fights usually surpassing any other list on the net, when updated...

Pics/Vids section, cause I don't want to look all over the net to find a fight when every thing is here.

Random stuff, gets posted in what ever area that gets my interest that I wouldn't have normally seen.

Vbookie, is nice to bet and see how you fare with the odds.


As long as those are here, I don't think I would leave.

i have a question---the rules say there is no flaming on the forums, but what about if you're giving someone neg rep? Can I say something to the nature of "yea how bout deez nuts bitch" or something like that in the comment box of the rep if someone ever pushes me into negging them?

i actually just did that a second ago. I just thought I'd ask so I wont be suprised if some admin thinks it's ban worthy and i try to log on later tonight and i'm not able to.

edit: if anyone were to get banned for a PM or REP then that's FUCKING BULLSHIT

[The Sundance Kid]

To my knowledge there has only been a few people banned for their Rep Comments.

All but one of them were because they were posting Scat Porn as a picture in the rep.

And TC why would anyone ban you for asking someone if they like nuts?

Were you talking about Cashews or Pecans?
