Forum isnt what it used to be.

[BIG BIRD]

I have noticed since the shutdown that there arent as many people posting and there is more and more time between posts. In its hey day there was a post every 5 min. at least. Now you can go hours with out seeing any new posts. It really bothers me. I love this place and all but we need to get the word back out.

Can't believe i'm spared in one of your post

SHALOM MY BROTHER

Duch I have nothing but love for you. We have had differences in the past,but thats where I like to leave them in the past. I hope you have a wonderful day my Dutch friend.

[Ronin]

LMAO!

Big Bird, you are an unrecognized comedic genius.

"Have a wonderful day my Dutch brother."

Too funny.

[YeLLa-TiGeR]

LMAO
But your right BB, I miss the old days!

This forum is like the neighborhood bar or restaurant, it was closed for a while and some of the regulars still come by where others have moved on.
There are the usual cretins and morons that pass by, cause trouble for a while but as with such childish minds, they get bored fast and leave to cause trouble some place else.

Give it some time Bird.

Simply put ...

The new dark color of the forum sucks - which makes you not want to bother reading anything.

The new small type of the forum sucks - which exacerbates the above and makes you not want to bother reading anything all the more.

The constant starting, and re-starting, of the forum sucks - which makes you not want to bother posting anything that would take care and time to write.

And, now, therefore most of the posters here suck - which makes you not want to bother reading anything all the more when combined with the above. Especially when I post

It is just the natural progression of events and typifies the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Especially trying to "fix it" a hundred times. JMHO

Your friend at helping you reach The Truth,

Joe

Yea... This forum definately needs more OFF TOPIC threads in order to regain popularity.

And no, I am not being a smartass. I am dead serious.

[Rainbowthief]

I know I can get the hell out if I don't like the forum, but the new colors are damn mugly. Not because it's dark--In The Guard is dark but I think that, aesthetically, it's the best looking forum on the net--but because the choice of colors is so bad IMHO. The blue & bronze logo is hideous. I'm sure one of the members here could make something nice free of charge. I've seen other graphic stuff made by Goddess that was much better looking. The colors are too drab and make the site look cheap and old.

EJ's right too. The board could use more off topic posts without losing its theme as a BJJ/MMA forum. Unfortunately, people won't post interesting non-martial arts topics because unless you're Pit Dog, it'll get deleted or moved to the Open Access forum to die a slow death. That's not a knock against Pit, but he gets away with more off topic stuff than anyone else.

What we need is the return of Bison.

SHOW YOUR TITS!

I talked to gatita from the OG late last night on chat. I told her about this place she posted in the introduce yourself forum. Go there and tell her to come post off topic stuff. She could bring some excitement here. Ask nicely and she might post a pic of her tits.

[YeLLa-TiGeR]

I did that earlier today my friend! I complemented her on her nice spice rack!

[dan downard]

Not everyone knows it is back up.Have you heard about our upcoming winter camp?

[McLeod]

This was my first MMA forum. Unlike a first GF however, the forum doesn't grow bitter with the years, nor does it slowly seep your life away and make every attempts to stop you from even mentioning another forum.
I will continue to post and rely on this forum as I always have.
Give it time.
