BoxRec

man, the current scene has been gradually becoming full of idiots, trolls and both, but it has really taken a nosedive as of late. It is at its lowest. The days of tomato can, jaclem, $ bill, overhand, 6 pack, ridiculous ray, richbart, et al are long gone, they seem to have been driven out by a bunch of, to use what is probably their lingo, assclowns.

Says a lot that even in these dismal times of boxing the brit scene is still flourishing!

Its a pity, as current scene forums goes it used to be okay.

I was going to make a thread saying how much I have enjoyed this forum over the last few days/weeks. It really has picked up IMO.

There have been a fair few good "newbies" (A word I don't like to use) and also there have been some older posters who have been contributing more recently than before.

A few guys whose posts I have really enjoyed recently.

Manos de Oro, Eddie Shreder, jomothepure, topper, nickd, slapsie maxie, phenominal nutrition. Also nice to have David Payne back to fine form after becoming a father (the Mark Williams of boxing forums).

These are on top of the ones who often get the pat on the back in posts like this one. The likes of J, James M, Ian McNeilly, Freihart, Kevin, KOJOE, Real Deal and the other moderators.

Its been fun. If I haven't mentioned you, sorry although there is no thread that I ignore because of a poster - there isn't a bad poster here. Cannot say that about the current scene (unfortunately).

Yes, it really sucks, I find myself on the British forum more and more these days...

Even though I don't know half of the boxers you guys are talking about, it's usually more civilized.

The Current Scene needs a new moderator(or two)... Grey is in College, Tomato Can is gone, and Broncano is busy working weird hours.

There's one thing that bothers me about the current scene which is after a fight or before a fight and there are 5 threads going on it.

It's really confusing knowing quite where to post.

I always used to post on the Current Scene but now it seems every post over there gets turned into a Dr. Goodnight plug

Without wishing to sound intolerant, whenever visiting any current scene forum I often fear for the future not just of the sport but of the human race in general.

My American cousins won't understand my following analogy but the Brits will all too well...it's sort of like watching 'Trisha'.

Plus, as I'm so immersed in the British scene, I don't know many of the fighters they occasionally talk about. The likes of Riddick, Tantum, etc are more than welcome over here!

You know what we need to do! Get our ass back in the Gym a Brittish title has never looked better for the taking!

Yes, I agree, it's a bit like going to visit a retarded younger brother the family has sent off somewhere. mildy engaging at first, but feelings of dread and revulsion soon creep in.

I've noticed that a few of the current scene boys seem to be crossing over.

I cannot believe still how many threads over there are about Tyson.

There are just so many retarded off topic threads, topics about irrelevant boxers like Tyson and Ibeabuchi, and shameless website plugs...

The Current scene really needs 1 or 2 more (active) mods... And I think it could return to a decent level.

Most of the posts seem to be by dr goodnight or about him on the current scene

What do you mean 'The likes of Riddick..' are welcome over here? I'm english you clown, i've been posting on the british scene since it began!

Once school stops holding me down I swear I will try my best to make the Current Scene a decent forum again.

Goodnight has been a good poster over the last few years i think of late he to has got pissed off about the rediculous threads and idiots that post there.

There are to many post's about childish shit like the Bruce Lee thread and bloody Mike Tyson.

Agreed he is a good poster but a bit more variety wouldnt go amiss. One man is basically running the current scene. The rest well...

I was being satirical. 8)

satire goes way over Neri's head. Go back to the current scene you dumb shit!!

My fist will fly through your face chump , ill go back now then

Neri1983 wrote:Agreed [Goodnight] is a good poster

You mean, in the 0.01% of his posts which are not blatant forum spam advertising his crappy clubfighters?

Or how about Podgorski with his 50 user names spamming his boxing links website.

I like reading about the up and coming boxers in his stable with more losses than wins

the monkey vs robot thing was funny when punchpringle did it.

Now, for some reason it's spawned a series of clones who fail to grasp that the original humour came from the mocking of types like themselves who posted all that 'Joe Louis vs Mike Tyson in their primes, who wins' shit in the first place.

Thus we get 'Nick Nolte vs Bill Clinton', just because they think it's funny.
