This Place Absolutely Sucks Now

[Brom Bones]

I haven't always felt this way until very recently. The new layout and 2 step verification thing has really left this place a barren wasteland of shite. There are still a few quality posters, but the people I actually liked hearing from and conversating (as Christopher Wallace would say) with are mostly gone. Pretty much all the new posters who aren't banned from 2018 or so on suck balls. Their threads are just pure cringe. I'm not sure this is just me hating on the younger generation or what? I check in periodically, hoping for quality threads that are either thought-provoking or entertaining and I get none of that.

Anyway, with the next generation of Sherdoggers leaving this place a rotting, festering corpse of the place I used to enjoy, the "Sherdog is dying" meme is truly playing out.

Part of me wants to commit E-suicide by posting some epic pr0n, but I'll refrain from doing so because even though this place is rubbish, I'm holding on for tomorrow.

Note: I'm only really talking about The Mayberry, as this is the last bastion of Sherdog that I peruse.

I think a lot of us old timers just get busy with other things in life and nobody new comes in bc the younger generations seem to like X and TikTok and instagram and stuff like that.

it is definitely more quiet here than 2 years ago for example

Will this gem of a thread should sure get things hoppin' and boppin' again

i agree. sadly, it may be more of a sign of the times. i love the forum medium and will be around here so long as there is at least consistent traffic of visitors. hope things pick up soon.

Sorry you feel this way Sherbro

Sherdogging is dying

It’s okay, I’m going to hold a bikini contest where Sherdoggers enter to be judged and I choose the winner. (The winner is me, I hope).

The 2-step isn't a thing and won't be a thing

The new layout is actually an older perfectly working layout we're using now

Sure it had been an inconvenience for a couple weeks. So that sucked.

i really think a big issue is mma in general. it's in a huge rut. the ufc desperately need stars and people to get interested again to build an audience seeking to talk about the sport and extra-curricular topics like in this forum. that's how i found sherdog and ended up here. wanted to talk about the sylvia vs. monson fight, and found a thread talking about it on sherdog and here i am haha.

But I do agree, forums have been a dying thing for a while. Except for Reddit I guess, which if people think this layout is bad, Reddit is the absolute worst.

Seems we have a lot of older millennials and Gen xers holding on.

Honestly, if this place went away... I sure as shit wouldn't go anywhere else. Fuck X, tik Tok, ig or whatever

yeah, i noticed how it went back to the old style, which i personally prefer. i just thank whoever fixed the quote/post looking thing. hope others found it helpful.

You should be thankful this place is as busy as it is. Forums are a dinosaur now, and even the worst goobers here are better than the average FB, YT or IG commenter.

 

[Dobymick]

I'm trying my best to provide high end quality posting

 

[Fury]

Sometimes people have to take a break.... For ten years

But honestly, most younger people don't want to discuss things in the same way you would in a forum.

Yea not so sure I’d want casuals who are in it for the big stars. Red flag material right there.

 

[Lycandroid]

This the last good one left. I used to post on music industry related forums and that's how I got into that line of work. That avenue is gone now, I'd probably be stuck doing construction all the time if it weren't for that.
