606 Boxing vs 606V2 - who wins and why???

First topic message reminder :

Old 606
-------

Less moderation...however unruly posters tended to stay on longer......Had a mechanism for editing your own threads which came in handy...Took too long to get a response from moderators when someone was deliberately plagiarising your superb threads...

Not sure the moderators were knowledgeable enough......Layout was easy though..

606v2
------

Moderators can jump in hastily.......Idiots get expelled quicker though.....Moderators have a good knowledge of the sport.....Quicker to respond to your questions.......Tends to forcefeed advertising to you at times.....Layout probably not as precise as the old 606.....

Much better than the Eastside layout......

606v2 by decision...

Welcome aboard, aka.

Look forward to your input, and hope you enjoy it here.

thanks fellas, although this is my first few posts, ill just admit to being fightnews now and get it out the way with!

Im still new to the layout, how to quote, etc etc, but i will get round to the prediction league, maybe next season now tho, im going to have a play with it 1st (the site and not myself, may i add) and see how i get on

for the record i have also just joined ESB, but do not intend to post there, if at all.

Can i also say thanks to scotty for the boxing docs, so informative and ive learnt lots.. good work!

Then welcome aboard, fightnews. Nice to see you made it over.

No problem aka, glad to see the effort wasn't wasted!

Aka

Posters to be aware of:

Tina - Stroppy
Rowley - Old man, forgets what he wrote. Be patient.
Union - In the midst of a mid life crisis
Scott - Ignore his put downs, not very funny
Sean - Moans way too much
Windy - Has no hair from being an admin. People with no hair = bad
Truss - Disagree with his opinion and you'll be labelled as worthless
Genius of PBF - Pretends he's Mayweather Jr
Strongback - Don't mention Haye as he goes off on one
Fists - Has violent mood swings

Can't think of any others off the top of my head

Good luck here anyway!

And someone run an IP check, all of an hour after accusing Genius of blahblah of being Fight News he appears.....

Suspicious? Yes.

I don't know if anyone's re-posted this:

This sums up all that's wrong with the ESB forums for me.

Aka was clearly joking.

Genius is not Fight News, I can spot posting styles instantly. Knew when Ghosty came back after 1 post.

Both are clowns. Clowns with the same irritating writing style i.e. they wind everyone up.

Saying that, Genius of PBF has become borderline bearable for more than 2 posts recently.

Hey, fellas,

I know this is pretty much ' tongue in cheek ' but I really don't reckon it to be healthy or appropriate to be having a pop at members when they aren't logged in to defend themselves.

rowley wrote:Weclome aboard Aka, may I suggest there is no finer way of establishing your knowledge than contributing to Union's excellent prediction thread. Don't worry about how you do as Tina is playing so you are pretty much guaranteed to avoid the wooden spoon.

I've never finished last.

Is there going to be a new house rule enforcing that

Of course not. We'll just rely on the fact that you are such nice chaps.

There doesn't need to be, if you looked at the house rules you'd notice that where there isn't a rule on a matter, the decision of the mod/admin is to be taken as if it were a rule.

So in that case, consider Windy's comment enforced

Anyway, where is that moron Windy?

Mysteriously, he disappeared, Fists.

A regular ' Great Sylvester ' if ever there was one.

What if the mod/admin said they thought RJJ beats Tunney? Should i then accept that a rule of the forum? That i can't say Tunney beats RJJ?!

Fear not, coxy!

If that should happen, I'll shed blood to join your rebel movement.

Who edited my post?

Thief.

Waingro, I fear you may have just opened the flood gates...brace yourself for a Coxy backlash..

Chap called Sylvester.

Rightly so I might add, I had done nothing to warrant such a hurtful riposte.

Waingro, there was nothing wrong with your post, mate, except that it was off topic and that a similar post almost caused a board meltdown some time ago.

In another context, I promise you it would not have been removed, but it would surely have taken this thread wildly off topic.

Hope you will understand.

To think, we used to be such good friends, Windy.

Rovvley, you have neen goading me about the UCPL for months. I have been very restrained so far.

No worries maybe it should be another thread about how washed up Jones is now cant believe how slow he looks now

Ha!

I told you, mate, that scoundrel Sylvester is the culprit.

Not goading at all Tina, just pointed out I have consistently been above you since its inception, statement of fact. As Jack Nicholson once put it you can't handle the truth.

You're a good sport, mate.

Thank you for your understanding.

Lol, imo you should do that asap, tbh, and perhaps incorporate a poll.

Almost burst with laughter then. Nice work Union.

I could point out the fact that you have been almost destroyed on the Footy league, but I won't. I'm am a bigger man than that.

Too true Tina, to be honest since most of my predictions are pure guesses I really don't know why I gloat, because I am sure it can only be a matter of time before the maxim he who laughs last laughs longest is one I become more than aware of.

You will all be pleased to know I am still in retirement

And like that....hes gone

thanks for the heads up.

How would you describe yourself coxy?

Tino/rowley, i think you may have found the wooden spoon winner!

Coxy is the voice of rational pacifism. That and ultra-libertarianism. Our resident left-wing radical is Coxy.

He's better at most sports than you infinitely smarter and if you got just a quarter of his cast offs then you would have almost heffner like prowess with the ladies.

A wit, although to be fair he is half right on that one.

I think they call him a shining wit, although I may have misheard.

And he hates Roy Jones Jnr

Good to see you back bud

I heard Coxy referred to a bit of a cult.

One woman praised his devotion to saving the planet by saying he definitely had no lead in his petrol.
