Hot Take Why does Sherdog do everything possible to run off users?

I coulda sworn there used to be an app

Desktop blocks everything well but the human checks are very annoying on mobile devices. It's just constant and repetitive.

My biggest annoyance with this site lately is that it is extremely slow -> to process posts/comments, to load, likes, edits etc... and also glitches when using those Sherdogmoji's.

It's probably the worst this experience has ever been for me since I joined.

Hope Xenforo Cloud or whatever is responsible gets patched soon. It really is a sub-par experience.

If you're using android this works.

when i saw the thread title i assumed it was gonna be about the user base being big meanies, with their white belt/join date shaming, quote posting people calling them a piece n shit dumbass just for having a take they disagree with, n all that

I only use mobile and have to agree, it used to run so smooth and I used to be in all the PBP for the fights but I have stopped given how much of annoyance it is to use the forums anymore.

I can't even imagine using it on mobile to follow PBP threads... with all the ads, slow loading, and human-checks (sometimes preventing posts from going through) it must be near-impossible

It is and that’s why I haven’t been in a PBP in a long time.

Sherdog mods have tried to make me quit.

Their cognitive dissonance doesn't allow for them to consider anything other than their viewpoint.

They may eventually ban me for life, but my ghost of truth will haunt them.

Mods are the worst everywhere. I was a mod once and i realized i grew a vagina.. a dirty one. Like filthy disgusting and stinky. and my personality turned into something awful. Never again will i become someone pathetic enough to wanna become a mod for something. There's like nowhere people can truly be themselves and original anymore. Go with the flow and be an echo or get heat it seems.

It took me like 15 seconds to like this post. This is garbage tier stuff.

Use adblock, it's 2026). Reddit is total ass, and other sources.. i don't even care. Sherdog is the best.

This site cost money to run bro. With that being said, back in the day Sherdog had advertisers who were embedding spyware injection kits into our computers and this was happening for years lol. In another instance, they went overboard with ads and you simply could not view this site without having to take extra steps because the memory leaks were so bad

On mobile? Also the adblock I am using does nothing about the human-robot check things

In another instance, they went overboard with ads and you simply could not be the site without having ad blockers.

I understand that, but why (as you just highlighted) do they always seem to use the WORST most ANNOYING and/or intrusive (mobile, at least) ads possible? It's worse than pirate streaming and overseas porn sites. This site is also slow AF and couldn't even hold the data to keep track of our likes lmao... how much $$$ do they need? Regular ads couldn't pay for this?


And then they wanted us to give them even MORE personal information for 2FA lmao... I am SO glad that died quickly

I might be done using this site, as much as I love conversing with all of you. The annoying "R U A HOOMAN?!?!" interruptions, and now these CONSTANT new popup ads!?!? Who in their right mind would visit this site and decide to sign up and deal with these things, when much simpler alternatives are available? Just in principle, I feel like whoever the management/owners of this site are, simply do not care about the users and growing Sherdog in any meaningful way, despite MMA's growing popularity/fanbase.


And I know this is not the correct forum, eat my butt

Why aren't you using firefox and ublock
