    I have enjoyed reading this forum allot.I find it better then boxrec because on there there is a vocal minority on there claiming inside knowledge of the sport and scoring points of each other which gets boring.If somebody comes on his forum and talks **** they will be pulled up on it and rightly so.

    I've been here a few years now (ignore my join date) and theres some great stuff in this forum. Fight Night is ace. I will say that if new posters start baiting threads or clearly delusional hate ones then they bring it on themselves. The general forums for that bull****.
    Telling people that fights are on wrong channels is old as well. Not everyone is obsessed and knows all the schedules etc and surely its better to spread the love rather than take the ****.

    I vote yes to both options. The veterans word IS law and we do sort the **** noobs from the tolerable noobs. There have even been some good noobs recently like Ishy.

    I slate thick ****s, but any noob with seemingly good input will get a PM from me welcoming them to the board, and that's the truth :good

    First of all Losfer hope you get well soon mate :good

    I just take posters from what they write and their views, you always going to get a few noobs, but most of the new posters talk sense. Also i feel the Brit forum is still suffering from the loss of Hatton and Calzaghe 2 world class fighters.

    We need more top level fighters/fights to talk about from U.K.

    I've always been treated well on Esb, Even during my brief stint on the GF when I first joined
    I don't post much now, but I still read the boards, and if I do post its usually a witty/stupid one-liner or a smiley face nothing serious:oops:

    I have to say though the Brit forum doesn't seem the same any more without Flint and his constant Enzo an Colin threads which he was always hammered for and Dunky's mad rants at well.. just about everyone :yep

    There are days when I read the Brit forum and think there should be I.Q restrictions but that's usually after reading posts by the Klitschko hugger who always pops up in David Haye threads spouting nonsense or after spending 10mins trying to decipher a post in text speak :blood:nut

    Talking of Elite groups wasn't there one on the GF, a little while back?
    I guess the Brit forum has secretly formed their own an are planning a Esb wide Coup, I knew those yank baiting raids in the GF were part of a bigger plan:hey

    Yep, and the converse is also true;
    If Angelo Dundee joined tomorrow, he would be regarded and dismissed as a know little about Boxing noob.

    Unless it got out and then it would be the Buncey treatment x50

    BTW, does Buncey still post on here or has he left since Setanta died and he has no show to plug?:?
