Is Sherdog still the MMA site with the most active off topic discussion?
I second that!Originally posted by K++s
I don't know when it really started but a huge part of the downward spiral was when the OT started losing its villians. The karmic balance was thrown off by the fact that the Schelcht, KickYourHead, Ualksdfjalskdj_Ualksdfjalskdjf and Red Sonja's of OT got banned.
There wasn't a foil anymore so people started feeling the need to do more shit disturbing instead of flaming the villians...
Thank god there's still Tommy Han... Or did i miss his banning as well?
That's a good summing!Originally posted by lsg
From my perspective, it started going down when these new "rules" started being enforced. You know, the rules that were made one day without warning. OT has ALWAYS been a hostile, racist, opinionated, make fun of anything and everything kind of place. There was no PC police...the people who were here last summer or before molded OT into what it was. Newbs were bashed, the mods/admin were still part of OT and not "the enemy" and bashed right a long with us. No one was impervious to a sound lashing and it was always taken with humor and a good ribbing.
We have here a forum full of mostly young men with way too much testosterone brewing. Trying to put a muzzle on them is ludicrous and causes said males to lash out against authority. No one wants to be stiffled especially in a place where you could once say anything you pleased.
I am 100% against bannings. I would much rather just see them banished to the conditioning forum for a month or publicly flogged in newbietown.
You newer guys never knew the old OT. You rag on the vets for stirring shit up, but if it weren't for these outspoken , sometimes brash vets, who are not afraid to push the system to the limits, Sherdog OT would not be nearly as popular as it is.
So until some of you new guys are willing to step up and keep OT from becoming a flame free PC environment, don't even compare yourselves in the same light.
Just when I thought my E-love for you had reached its zenith, you go and tug my heartstrings just a little harder. Once again I am all a tither and glowing a warm fuzzy kinda feeling. Can I be your little bitch?Originally posted by lsg

At least when I was mod, I was able to delete all of the stupid post whoring and keep the newbies in check. After I got thrown down, the newbs started to take over. Then the vets were getting frustrated. Then the new rules were arising. The vets were getting more frustrated. I don't think it was any one thing. Just evolution happening at a faster pace than most are used to.
Drop the cosmetics please, this was a truly disgusting place. In fact it was a fucking Al Kaida camp with all these little e-terrorists creeping into the non-OT forums and poisoning, flooding the threads with their OT-based shit/hate talking. Stepping on someone toes (like the owner of this site, and some pro fighters) was inviteable. But you guys were obviously too dumb to see that coming, hahaha...Originally posted by lsg

So let me laugh at you, because nor the mods or newbs, but the very "vets" caused OT's downfall.
So evolve, get banned, or die!
