There definitely are people with a lot of rep who ignore the new people, but we all don't do it. I didn't do that pre-mod, and I don't do it now.

Keep posting quality posts, and don't worry about those who ignore you. There are almost 20,000 registered members on the forum. Plenty of people to talk to other than the few people with their noses in the air. Enjoy the forum, participate, and silence the haters.



P.S. The rep system isn't even a year old yet. You've been a member since Aug 2006. You were here for 8-9 months before the rep system was created.

I've gotten to where I look more at how long someone has been here than posts and rep. Alot of the new people reposts the same things or just don't make well thought out posts. That's the only real downfall to having so many people on here now. It's hard to have a decent debate sometimes because of it. I still ain't leaving though...

I like to idea someone made a while ago about having a forum for older members, kinda like new jack for the newbs but for veteran members.

I could care less how much rep someone's got.. Come on now lets be serious, that would b just as bad as dong the "White belt treatment" at that other place!

One problem that I see here is the terms "nut hugger" and "fighter bashing". If someone is a fan of a certain fighter or MMA organization they're often classified as a "nut hugger" by the trolls (and yes...there ARE trolls here who are considered "senior members"). On the other hand, it's almost impossible to debate the sport of MMA or talk about certain "key" fighters without being accused of "fighter bashing". The site is down right boring without debate, especially during a slow new cycle as it relates to MMA. The term "fighter bashing" needs to be redefined.

I think that the job of a mod is to moderate discussion, regardless of how they feel about the subject or the debate. I've seen mods allow flaming simply because they may disagree with the opinion of the person who is being flamed.

That all being said, this place is awesome. It's evolving and that's fine...even good. And anyone who leaves a "good bye note" or something like that is simply crying for attention and will all come back. The mods can tell you....how many people who left these "good bye notes" log back in for weeks after that to read peoples responses. Legend will come back.

It also kinda sucks when your post gets edited for speaking the truth.

I don't like how the site owners don't give a crap about this site, when I first joined Boone actually posted here more then the majority of the members, now he is no where to be found. The mods and admins do a great job I must say and without them this site would be nothing. Clint and Bullock used to be the only ones who would even control the forum (boone and Cruz would drop in about once a month)

I don't think you can win members like Legend and Dagreat1 back, this site has grown and some members are not going to like it. I prefer the smaller atmosphere that we had a year ago

I talked to Dork back when I cared about this place and he said that he wasn't around as much then because all the assholes were coming back and posting. It's not the number of people you have and it's not the overstatement of the obvious, it's the fact that you have a ton of assholes who get all the glory and people to whom things aren't as obvious as the uber-ultra-mega-pride-lovin-fans.

You can't ask a question without getting flamed. You can't disagree with an admin without getting flamed. You can't complain about anything without getting flamed. Call it whatever you want, but it's right there in the rules you've established.

People abuse their rep power. Instead of actually repping intelligent, insightful, or on-topic posts, people just rep when someone makes them laugh or negs them when they disagree or don't like the point they have made. Take a look at my history. Clint negged me twice in the same post.

You can delete this post or whatever, edit my profile, neg me, do whatever... but you asked. It's the same tripe as it was before, and as the intelligent fans leave you, the assholes will just say you're doing a great job.

Go back to the EMO hole from which you came... seriously, this is a not drippy bitch forum. Someone please IP ban this bitch before he makes a mess of things again.. sorry Boo, it looks like he's your problem.

[neonatural45]
