What can we do to get new members?

Tom, weve told you before, you just have to TRY and ask a girl out. You cant use the internet to solve all your girl problems.

Ummm....how about a sports-dating site added to this one. You know, like fitness singles?

Is that a kind of low-cal sliced cheese?

Too many people flock to Sherdog these days, it'll be hard to compete with them. On the other hand I don't think we need half of those nutjobs that post there :-\.

Well, its hard to keep a forum within a standard, though most people flock to the current fads

[Tim Mousel]

Keep the constructive posts coming!

Thanks,

Tim

Forums are like automobiles, foods, movies, etc. People are going to have their "favorites".

Because like automobiles, foods, movies, etc, there are so many to choose, it would be hard to actually bring in any significant number of new members.

I can invite some lively/controversial buds from other forums, but not too many forums can tolerate their forthrighteousness.

[jubaji]

So it seems the secret is to make certain parts of the forum the inviolate territory of a small group pretentious poseurs so they can agree with themselves without any pesky 'other opinions.'


Yeah, that'll do it.

[TTEscrima]

Because I would class both of you as one of the reasons why some people don't bother posting here.

ROFLMAO, oh yeah the post count is way up since Boarspear was banned. I've never seen anyone quit posting over anyone from this crowd's posts, but I've seen countless people quit over Brewer and Jubs and the general MMA is best attitude in every forum no matter the thread topic.

Unless someone is in a TMA/urban combatives forum deriding a TMA there essentially is no discussion on the forum. You can deny it all day but the post counts and a quick look into the last topics in the non MMA forums tells the tale regardless of the spin you put on it.

No personal attacks there huh XF?

[jubaji]

No one want's to be attacked every time they post

Yeah, like that guy who has been trying to post about his Bagua but keeps getting shouted down by a certain couple of hairdressers we know because his 'lineage' isn't pure enough...

[jubaji]

Which is interesting, because the thread was civil and largely constructive before your involvement. It has since been steered in the same direction both you and TT take the vast majority of discussions you contribute to....which is moany, stroppy, defensive and antagonistic.

I've said this before, so let me say it again - I don't know why either of you bother being here. You never have anything positive to say, its all about what everyone else says that is wrong, or boarspear being banned, or people bitching about CMA, or sport guys who don't know what they are talking about, or Mike B and his visine, or jubs, or.....well, pretty much everything.

If you don't like defend.net, which you clearly don't, then why don't you go somewhere else. Because I would class both of you as one of the reasons why some people don't bother posting here.

Very, VERY well said!

[kingoftheforest]

couldnt agree with michael more. KOTF you know why you left before, because you were shown by people to know nothing.
You arent going to tell myself, michael wright, mike brewer etc that we dont know anything about boxing.

Wanna direct me to those Mike Brewer posts?

I have never stopped posting on this forum for any reason, even when my entire camp left this forum I was here.

Also find where I said that anyone didn't know anything about boxing?

This is more of the reason why even old members don't come back and post.

BTW ideas and opinions were asked for here.

You arent going to tell myself, michael wright, mike brewer etc that we dont know anything about boxing. we arent exactly at the bottom of the ladder.
It is posters like yourself that are constantly whining like girls about how everyone else is against them that causes a lot of problems on here.

Why couldnt you leave things, i left the other thread cos it was going nowhere, yet YOU yes YOU drag it up in here. Why?
cos that is your moaning, whining attitude.
