I think the age of the average Sherdog member has increased because MMA has failed to bring in younger people, and the ones still online and watching MMA are those of us older 35 who started watching back in 2003.

No, UFC audience numbers are much higher than they were 2003. Plenty of younger people are watching MMA.

Sherdog aging out has more to do with this style of message board being "old internet."

Message boards like this have been around since the 1990s. It's ancient technology. The majority of attention and discussion has shifted to social media. Every day, the message board user community gets smaller.

Reddit and Discord are pretty much the only internet forums with growth, and their formats are much different than Sherdog.

MMA discussion mostly revolves around social media garbage now instead of the fights and fighting. With PPV prices above $75 now this won’t change, even with free fights still available. Title fights cost a fortune and they used to drive discussions.

That Sherdog has become less of this ^

And a lot more of this ^

Um, you know The Heavies is a forum on here too??? I'd say music has suffered the most since that forum came out...

Aging members.

We've been here for a while.

I guess the mods have to realize this. We are not getting anyone new. Just recycle the same old ass users. Anyone really new is going to use that shithole fuckplace called reddit which I hate....but still am forced to go there for anime.

Not to mention the UFC doesn't have any real star power, and fighters now all fight alike.

I'm an old man but I'm still true to my Sherdog roots.... Dirty mirror Krixes is born...

Most traditional message boards are dying or already dead. Sherdog is doing very well in comparison to most message boards.

Also there was more excitement amongst fans years ago cause it was a new sport.

The war room is basically the below image combined with lots of whining about grooming....

Weirdest post award to you yet again

You look like you used to have nice biceps.

Also, did you jizz on your mirror on purpose?

I don't think I've watched a single fight since Nate, I rarely even look at the scores pr fights coming up anymore. I get the odd text to see if I'm watching but really not fussed anymore, and I was a hardcore fan for a few years.
It used to be fun in the plats with us doing our oickems, it actually made the sport more fun on a Saturday night if you called it well. We'd have bets and whoever lost had to send something to the winner. I ended up with all sorts of random shit like a number plate and shot glass from a guy. who mangled his motorbike.

F this I’m getting the ‘dog tatted on me
