Does anyone enjoy this forum anymore?

Sherdog never not sucked, even back when Sherwood was in charge and they were using EZboard forums. It was garbage and 90% or what we posted was trolling with anime fanboys posting gayass memes. There was a dude named RyanGracie if I recall (we’re talking 98-99 early 2000. Dude was gayer than Richard Simmons and the problem is people loved the bullshit he posted. Nothing has changed since then and nothing will change. Only Jeff Sherwood isn’t here and the forum has a buttload or ads. That’s it.

Memes, meat riding, glazing, bullshit stats, etc. it’s the blood that runs through the veins that is Sherdog.

By the way, the boxing forum is one of the few places in here that’s worth a damn, people know their shit and while it’s clear they have their favorites based on skin color or last names (you know who you are) it’s 100% better than what goes on in the mma forums. That place is hell

This is pretty spot on. It constantly reminded me of social misfits that sucked at ball sports in search of idolizing adequate & capable father figures .
Use to be an epidemic of posts non stop about the looks and physics of male fighters (even more so than now). With guys pretending they were goofing around about being gay, when they were clearly & transparently into dudes.
Reminded me so much of the male bodybuilding crowd. A bunch of dudes clearly attracted to the male body trying to hide under the disguise of a bro sports fan.


The chronic Anime memer & gif types seem to still be an active culture in the War Room.

The boxing section was the only place you could have somewhat reasonable conversations without the poor trolling attempts & the glazing with exception of maybe a few posters & their dork encouragement brigade @ them to say something weird wherever the fighter they lusted after got brought up.

Yeah, but I've been on and off a lot. I always liked boxing, ever since I was in the single digits but my love for MMA came when I was around 13, pretty much at the same time when I got my first computer so searching for MMA stuff and coming online went hand in hand. I remember the first forum was in the '90s because my dad sent me to work at a business he had, he wanted my lazy ass to do something, I wasn't 20 yet and I remember all I did there was hook up my laptop, connect through the dial-up so I could chat up with a gf I had, we made our plans on ICQ... this was in 98, 99 and 2000, so that's when the ezboard forum must have been operating. I think it wasn't until 2000 or 2001 that the website became more modern, and that's probably what you mean about the forums being added. Because before that there were forums still. Main change, if I recall, was that you now went to sherdog.net for forums and sherdog.com for the website.

wikipedia shows Jeff started it in 1997. After doing some forum research it shows it started in 1997 but the forums didn't change or become more "professional" until 2001. When they stopped using the ezboard template.

I don't know how many of us are still around because there were a lot of bans... I once spoiled pride results (nobody watched live) and my account was permanently banned, then I had a few other accounts before I settled on this one and started coming less and then more, and somehow, I am 44 and still visit you fuckers. I think I am going to be coming to this site forever at this point.

It used to be a lot of fun back in the day though, when it was smaller. I remember having jeff sherwood on Aol Instant Messenger, he was a pretty cool dude and every once in a while when there were local, crappy MMA live shows in my city, he would ask me for info.

I doubt he remembers me now though.

Sherdog.net was registered in 2002. Today all it does is redirect to the Sherdog forums. According to one of the mods here the oldest active account is from December 2001.

There’s not a lot of info to go on, the ezboard days were in the late 90’s and all those accounts are gone. It’s kind of a blur now, the moment it went from crappy free website forum to actual “pro” forum.
 
the staff around here are fucking dreadful, not only do they miss the point, they also have no sense of anything...hilariously ironic at times, like the dickhead who came in talking about MFA like he was a security expert, then quickly fucking disappeared

At this rate everyone (who remembers) would welcome back Consortium with open arms.

I came here in 2014 right around when that happened.

Yea and then he barely posted after that as well.

You've been around for a while. What's the oldest forum account you've seen on here? I think the oldest I've seen is like 2000 (we have some 2001 accounts in this forum). I believe the main site was up in 1999 but it likely took a year or two before the forums were added.

Jeff started Sherdog in 1997. Forums were on an EZ Board until late 2001, when it became Sherdog.Net... Oldest Account / First Account is December 16 , 2001.

I'm satisfied with 2024 even if it wasn't as good overall. We finally got a couple fights that were years in the making, Beterbiev vs Bivol & Fury vs Usyk. Both crowned an undisputed champion. At light heavyweight we hadn't seen one since Roy over 20 years ago. At heavyweight the last one was Lewis almost 25 years ago. The Saudis made these fights happen. I'm not sure they would've happened otherwise.

I don't know, 2024 I would rate all time bad. A complete dumpster fire. I hate Tank and Usyk, two top 10 fighters of any combat sport. Garcia vs Haney was such a disaster. Canelo vs Berlanga was like a Greek tragedy. Crawford was way off. Errol Spence didn't even fight.
The only good thing of 2024 is Clarresa Shields has huge power at heavyweight. For me, Claressa ELO is above Ray Robinson here


Completely unbeatable. She is like Siberian Rocky level tough too.

I thought MeatFist was Sherwood.

Until I see a picture of the two of them in the same room together, I'm sticking to that theory.

I wonder what Sherwood's up to these days. He started something special here and made some bank off of it to boot, but what is the guy doing today? I mean, guaranteed it will involve ice cream and a camera, but what else?
