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...

Firstly there's good interaction between the mods and posters, reasonable discussion is given to why things may be edited or erased instead of the blanket cencorship you used to get on the old board.

The format is more user friendly, such as hot topics staying at the top of the board and no infuriating 2 minute rule between posts.

We get the chance to interact with stars of the sport through the Q&A's.

The more logical, hands on approach of the mods weeds out the long term wums. If the old 606 was still going D4 would still be manipulating every article into a pro manny anti floyd meltdown whilst carefully not breaking any house rules. Here the mods could see him for what he was and when that subject was reduced to one umbrella thread to countenance him he slung his hook and has not been missed.

Only drawback is that a few good posters from the old board couldn't make it because they can't access the site from work (whereas most BBC sites are fine). Poundforpoundno1, old stone hands and IJK are a few that would have been welcome additions here. But no D4 or fightnews more than compensates for their loss.

D4 made a short comeback, until I think the mods finally just had enough of him and banned him.

IJK yes I miss him......Happytravelling and skidd have crossed over...

Miss cast a shadow though..

Essex Cooler Boy was good

Who was that annoying one always on about salt for the slug or something?

Plenty of people on here have posted on Eastside at some stage, even the most respected posters.

For the record The Gereral forum on ESB is for teenagers posting Manny v Floyd garbage with a few extremely knowledgeable posters thrown into the mix. Then there is the British section which isn't a lot different to 606, posters on the Brit Board don't necessarily post in the General. The British board covers international fights as well. The classic section is for old timers although old time fighters are covered in all sections. The Lounge is for the sublime to the ridiculous. There's all sorts on ESB and plenty of good threads as well as lots of rubbish ones.

606V2 is a different kind of site and it's nice to be able to go to a site with knowledgeable people where there is an emphasis on not destroying the English language.

Ultimately, though, there are good people, bad people and idiots on every site. In general every forum debates the same topics.

ESB does break a lot of news though and they have their own internet radio station interviewing the biggest names in boxing.


One observation I will make is that although there is minimal moderation on Eastside people there aren't as quick to put the boot into posters they know as say happened on the old 606. Most noobs on ESB takes a bit of a beating just for laughs, like a ritual. I ultimately think 606 was tougher, if a poster was getting out of line on 606, even subtly, he would be knocked back fairly quickly. There was never much room for sentiment on 606.

They were quick to pull articles I grant you...hey Strongy!!

That post made me think of the TV show Alias.

What are you having a go for...Just stating that people got their articles pulled on the old 606...

Calm down.............

Anyway are you still making tons of money in the old Emerald Isle....

When you're nice to me I always think of that story about the scorpion and the crocodile with you being the scorpion.

I've actually had a great year. So good I could take next year off if I liked but as I see the delicate rays of recovery emerging 2012 i feel will be a good time to be doing business.

Good lad......

My main memories of the old 606 latter days articles involved:

JOE CALZAGHE - LEGEND OR PROTECTED FIGHTER

WILL DAVID HAYE EVER FIGHT THE KLITSCHKOS

AMIR KHAN HAS BEEN AT IT AGAIN

IS FRANK WARREN THE MOST EVIL MAN EVER

FLOYD OR MANNY - WHO IS TO BLAME

Plus the usual themed articles from:

D4 - Why Manny is better than Floyd who is ducking him

Trussman - Why America is better than Britain

Steffan - <Insert rocky quotes> <Insert name of Welsh fighter> <Paste>

Fightnews - Just type anything that will go against the opinion of others

606v2 beats the pants of the old BBC 606.

Smaller community, better articles, less gratuitous vitriol from posters.

My only regret is that the 606v2 athletics board is stone dead now. Thanks to all for making the boxing section such a joy to be part of.

Not bad Jimmy but you forgot Shah's daily John Murray is a chav who has been on the Jeremy Kyle show thread

Oh yeah forgot him. And that guy who used to post the finger flick sign using a mixture of letters and symbols

Jimmy Moz wrote:Oh yeah forgot him.

I wish I could find it that easy.

This is the best forum by a country mile,the knowledgeable boxing fans crossed over to 606v2 rowley's always known his stuff and IJK. Too many wind up merchants on the beeb site later on.I wasn't allowed to post on the 606bbc as our managers letter said disciplinary action would be taken (Think he had this strange idea we where there to work)etc etc, so quite a few sneaky views when possible.
Started to post on the beeb late on but the best boxing fans had gone,called Margharita a cheat and had the post deleted, couldn't reply back to say it wasn't personal just a fact.

Slug Destroyer. That was the one. I hated him.

Nice to be put in such illustrious company...

what happened to the guy who was a pro wrestler but then said he was an amateur boxer - I remember having a right old scrap with him!

In all fairness unlike the others your intelligence made up for your repetitiveness.

Jimmy Moz wrote:Slug Destroyer. That was the one. I hated him.

He called himself that because he got someone else banned - may have been shenglong I can't remember now. It was like being sneaky grass was his proudest moment.

Shinjetsu???????????

Remember him being a champion bodybuilder at 6ft 1 and 12 stone!!!! and had a boxing record of 33-0 or something...

Think he was even Miss World and Mr universe at the same time he was so great...

Always struggle a bit keeping track of aliases but was he christopher wasp, him with an IQ of 187 or something ridiculous.

Yeah it was shenglong. He also got back on via a different account.

That was him - he claimed to be a wrestler called PAC.

Lovely chap - up there with Lumbering Jill

That's only a slightly above average internet IQ.

Shengy the IRA man.........

Irish news.....bought my subscription every week!!!!

And that guy who used to post videos of his 8 year old kid boxing and saying "What do you all reckon? Can he be a champion? I've invested loads in him for the future...!

Was shengy...davidemore????

There was OneBomb too.

And ArchBritChris, the guy who's every post was just a long line of dull stats to back up his tedious opinion (which usually was identical to D4's). He was a boring fecker.

Have often wondered why people so intelligent, successful, irresistible to the opposite sex can't find anything better to do than spend all day on a boxing forum.

Na davide was more intelligent than that.

Guess you'll have to keep wondering..

ADAD, he claimed to be a millionaire and a bit of digging on his profile found he was a sales manager for a company that got done for knocking out fake viagra or some such, Dave and Speed theory tore him a new one on that one, happy days

You're going to join in the conversation about people pretending to be someone else, really?

TRUSSCARGO I remember someone calling him.

anyone remember frochcarl AKA k-bros? He was a vile, nauseating, loathsome, repugnant, cancerous boil festering on the rectum of humanity if ever there were one.

Bit of both. Watching frozen planet too.

Chirstopher wasp......remember him..real nasty piece of work...

Dave667 used to have good rucks with him....

WUMbomb wasn't fists was he? Our resident moderator?

I've had rucks with loads on here sweetie even you...But it's never been personal.......

Guys like Wasp were just slime bags....and fightnews writing articles in my name.....

They were two I didn't like...vandalisers..

He said so but took it back.

Has anyone else had a message about inputting code when they post?

Just had a PM about it but its not happened to me.

Yeah we had a few run ins in the early days Truss, until I realised you were all pish and hot air and I stopped taking you seriously

I can't remember the name of the one who I was having a go with, who when I pointed a few things out to him, said combination punching and the jab had nothing to do with boxing, I turned the computer off and went down the pub.
