How much longer will Sherdog last?

[Ogata]

Sherdog has outlived Fightforum and the camel site as well. Sherdog will evolve to SherGOAT!

 

[Contempt]

This is the VIP nook of the Internet with strong readership across subs – or as I like to think of them, enclaves with their own subcultures. SoMe fatigue also works to our advantage so despite growth, we've never lost the small town feel, making us unique, IMO. As long as dawgs need a home, this shall be it.

...so that's what mod meetings look like huh?

Sherdog is scum.

But it has out lasted other scum like Rap/Hip Hop, flip phones, myspace, Amy Schumer

So I guess it's not all that bad

 

[usfbrah]

Sherdog will never die. Is cameldog still around ?

 

[NoSmilez]

In a couple years when people start to physically die. This site has a loyal following. We act like absolute children and nobody really tries to dox each other.

As a MMA site, Sherdog sorta died. It used to be the premiere MMA website in terms of reporting.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

It will last another 20 years imo. At the least.

 

[Two Crows]

Web3 and somekind of VR interface will kill all forums, including online karate forums

VR?

Holy f#$k I don't want to actually see you bastards.

Unless we can make avatars.

That'd be cool.

 

[Two Crows]

The main threats to forums I think are actually inferior.

... On sherdog we can get responses to a topic over the course of days or weeks, which allows more people to participate.

Sometimes YEARS later.

Not joking.

By the looks of it a day or two. if we're lucky

Shame about reddit... Massive forum that has the ugliest, most difficult UI to follow on the internet. Talk about an eyesore.

Yeah this type of format is the way to go for actual forum content imo.


As for how long this place will last? It’s been slowly losing traffic over the years but there’s still plenty of regulars left to keep it alive imo.

I did notice that the Berry has slowed down a bit.

That's mainly because @Clippy became addicted to Doom.

 

[Substance Abuse]

in 09' ''shedog is dying'' was already a thing.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

There is a lot of deadass subforums they need to get rid of, why keep them? As just one example why can't we just talk about music in the Mayberry where there is actually traffic? Open up the floodgates!!

I will pass this account onto my son

 

[Night Owl]

If it dies, it dies

 

[Bos Docken]

I remember lurking on Sherdog forums literally 20 years ago.

Posters were flaming each other over who won the Royce vs Yoshida grappling match.

If you told me Sherdog forums would still be around two decades in the future, I would have called you retarded (that was the accepted nomenclature back then).

 

[ferrisjso]

Still remember the days when I was considered a noob because I joined after TUF season 1.

Damm you're old.

 

[JTWW4Life]

as long as Shido

 

[AristotleAmadopolis]

I think we need to recruit new users.
The video game sub forum needs more nerds. Maybe gotta bring the IGN posters over here. If sherdog also bought some add space in the octagon that’d be nice. Or we need another ronda mcgregor once ever athlete.

Well one of you millionaire's on here can pay the up keep. You can have temp mod status.
