Media The @KazDibiase Appreciation Thread

[Gio]

Hey guys. On behalf of the Sherdog fam, let's all give thanks and appreciation to @KazDibiase for all the gifs he's made and shared to this forum of ours for the last 7 years. Sadly the hosting site that he uses for uploading his gifs is shutting down on Sept. 1st.

*****​

"Gfycat, the Snap-owned GIF-hosting platform, announced that it’s shutting down on September 1, pulling its full archive of GIFs offline. Users have two months to save content before it leaves the platform forever.

“The Gfycat service is being discontinued,” a message on the website writes. “Please save or delete your Gfycat content by visiting https://www.gfycat.com and logging in to your account. After September 1, 2023, all Gfycat content and data will be deleted from gfycat.com.”

And up until the very end, this man is still trying to reach and help us out with regards to all the fight related gifs he's uploaded through the years.

Hey brothers my Gfycat account will be deleted in September which means all my old gifs will be deleted. Been trying to save everything but it's 7000 gifs so if if you need an old gif I'll get it for you.

So let's... oh wait..

Q: Why is this in the UFC section? This is not UFC related. How's this even thread worthy?

A: The Sherdog forums is an online community and we value the members who has been making substantial contributions and has shown true loyalty and undying support to this site of ours over the years. Through thick and thin, heaven or hell. They deserve to have their moment in times like this.. and this one's super necessary.

@KazDibiase is a gem in the community and we are extremely lucky to have him here. Facts, if anyone in the world googles for a UFC gif for their own purposes, 99% of the chances is it's made by Kaz. And in a few more days some of these gifs might get deleted forever, so let's give our appreciation to everything he's done. We're very honored and thankful.



Thanks for all the gifs, @KazDibiase.
Good luck on the transition in finding a new (and hopefully better ) hosting site so we could see your gifs again
Respect, much love, and stay safe, champ.

P.S. I'll always remember you with the Wand knuckle avatar (see OP), the one you had when you won POTY


Let's hear it!!
(It's time to show some love to Kaz!)

Kaz' gifs are always quick. Always quality. Always there. Kaz deserves his flowers from us all for them.

When I make Best of Year threads, I search for Kaz posts. When I miss a finish or need to use a gif for a thread, I know where to find them. Kaz is the man. A big shout out and thanks to the man, the myth and...

THE GIF GOAT.

We never deserved @KazDibiase but, for whatever reason, the good Lord still delivered him to us.

God bless God and God bless KazDibiase.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

No





Not like this



I believe the “higher powers” were out for him. He was doing too much damn good ‘round here.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

@KazDibiase was always my friend...

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

This is stupid. Do they need $5 or something?

 

[Mammothman]

@KazDibiase is the man, an all time great poster.

@KazDibiase

You are one of the greats.

If you need help setting up a node for IPFS which is a free distributed file system that uses p2p technology, please do say. GIFS will ALWAYS be online, forever and distributed amongst several peers with no size limit, it is easy stuff to setup too.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

Fuck, man... That really blows about the loss of GIFS.

And Kaz is still my boy!!!

 

[Goldentrophy]

@KazDibiase gave my very 1st non still image avatar(Kenshiro)

One of the very few posters on Sherdog that are worth listening to.

I joined this place for the pbp because I work Saturday nights. Now I hit refresh like a woodpecker when I read about a big ko. He never disappoints.

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Aye, guy is gold.

Elite Sherdogger in an elite community!

Much love @KazDibiase

 

[Wreckless]

Respek @KazDibiase

 

[GearSolidMetal]

He's probably saved me dozens of hours of my life from watching boring fights.

For that, @KazDibiase is...
