It's not dying because it's toxic. It's dying because it's so insular and so hostile to even the concept of new members. I've been told many times that this isn't really a discussion forum, it's essentially a Messenger group for a community of real-life friends.

Have you tried clicking on any random similarly-named thread at the bottom of any page of any thread? See how much actual decent discussion there is, before it turns into two pages of one-line meaningless nothing random babble posts that are absolutely worthless in terms of providing actual value or entertainment or commentary or discussion, and then dies?

Just look at the name changes. If you've been here for a decade, yeah you know who everyone is. I've been here for a year, and I have no fucking clue who Rambo is. Why? Because he's changed his name three times since I've been here, just like half of the most active posters have. And I can't be bothered making a fucking spreadsheet to keep track of that shit. Why would any new posters bother with it? It's very clear that they're not welcomed or wanted - why stick around and contribute?

Dear John

I welcome everybody, even if they don't share my views
Sorry for the name changes, I was throwing the stalkers off my scent

There is a lot of truth to your post...So much "inside baseball" here, can be confusing to read for a lurker/new member
Very Cliquish in some ways, and that was fueled by certain posters and behaviors years before you arrived

-John

I'm here because I posted at a boxing forum for years, that no longer exists because of the same type of shit. Got more and more insular and more clannish over time, then got taken over by a) conspiracy wankers spamming conspiracy shit day after day in every thread, and b) half a dozen cunts who had no interest whatsoever in contributing anything to any discussion at all, they just wanted to be "hilarious" trolls. Everything became personal, all the time, it became a little online social club that was hostile to new members and offered nothing to keep them around. And then it died. So I searched "MMA forum" and wound up here.

Admittedly, I made my initial post early this morning as I arrived at work and I was a bit grouchy, but that’s how I felt.

As for the “Bye” reply, I looked at your book and thought “here’s Mr. It’s Everybody else, again”. That wasn’t fair.

I’m not gonna try and tell anybody how that should use or enjoy the forum. If you like to engage in long discussions over topics in the hopes of proving a point or just for the sake of discussion, go for it. It’s your experience, baby.

Personally, I came here for the fight night threads. I enjoy talking shit and if I’m lucky I’ll make a few of you turds laugh. I don’t get into all the deep politic talk or morality issues because: 1) I’m stupid.
2) Nobody cares about my opinion and most importantly 3) I come here to get away from the bullshit.

I love the Monster’s Challenge because it’s another added element to enjoy fight night but also I can give all those losers a hard time and Vice versa. You should come join us because participation is way down.

Anyways, continue to enjoy the forum but don’t expect everyone to use it the same way you do.

…and if I’m being honest you’ve always come off as combative and hostile so I usually avoid you anyways.
I do love the fact that you don’t buy into the “You gotta love Rose Namajunas” crap.

We do.

He said a pregnant 10 year old girl may have been a kid doing "something they shouldn't have." It's one of the most dispicable things I've read on this site. I actually asked for him to be banned over it but the other admins thought a lengthy pink would suffice.

I think you’re wrong on this one. You’re still damn sexy, but wrong.
