Boxing 606v2: Your Favorite Forum Moments Thus Far

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 16:09

Go on, just for kicks!

I want everyone to share one of their favorite 606v2 forum moments thus far.

For me, TRUSS leaving. I know, I know, it's an oldie, but a goodie.

Go, go go!! Smile

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Wed 26 Sep - 16:16

Has Truss gone again! Headscratch

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 16:20

No, no, he always says he is leaving but never does. I love it. He was on last night.

by JabMachineMK2 Wed 26 Sep - 16:29

Can someone link me to the topic? I'd love to see it.

by TopHat24/7 Wed 26 Sep - 16:37

SHEEP!! Without a doubt the most hilarity I've seen/had on this forum i.e. not including the old 606 stuff.

Sorry JM2, but there was something funny about you getting found out.....though not as funny as Il Giab's mullering of Gordy!!

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 16:40

Classic moments.

by trottb Wed 26 Sep - 16:45

The trash talk section was a firm favourite.

Birdgate!!

by TopHat24/7 Wed 26 Sep - 16:46

Pity trash talk was banned. Maybe now, with more moderate mods, we might be allowed to have it back.......?

by **seanmichaels** Wed 26 Sep - 16:51

Trash talk for me as well.

I think it was felt it hampered the quality of the boxing chat. It was also very easy to over step the mark particularly when discussing the subject of how 'intact' Helen Mirren's box would still be.

Rugby guys have one. They're all quite pally though.

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 16:52

I like me some trash talk.

by trottb Wed 26 Sep - 16:53

Coxy getting outed was one of the funniest things.

I had a PM from himover that. I only told Tina and UC, I think.

I’m afraid not, the amount of work that went into moderating it and running it could not be justified, also we should not and cannot lose sight of the fact that this is a sports forum and that does need to be the primary focus of the place, some off topic banter is inevitable and nobody wants to go all draconian on every example of it as was proven on the sheep thread but the balance always has to be that the bulk of chat on here has to be about boxing.

by School Project Wed 26 Sep - 17:01

I'm bias but the "School Project MS Paint Art Gallery" was pure mental and turned into quite a warped photoshop area by the end but it was fun when it lasted.

by Guest Wed 26 Sep - 17:21

Any of TRUSS's meltdowns (especially when confessed to having an extensive knowledge of Peter North's early career in gay porn), the hammering given to ADAD or DAVIDE's online suicide note...sadly that never bore any fruit but for a while I thought we might be in luck

by JabMachineMK2 Wed 26 Sep - 17:27

Yeah I must admit, looking back my thread was a complete farce! What a moron, what was I thinking? Still stand by the sentiment though....

by trottb Wed 26 Sep - 17:28

Stand by the sentiment!!! Laugh

Yep, IG's detective work in completely undermining Gordy's stance as a fountain of boxing knowledge springs immediately to mind.

by BallchinianMuffwig Wed 26 Sep - 17:37

The "unsuitable nicknames" thread from approximately a year ago was razor sharp banter for the most part..
Anything from Spring also (the real one, that is not the recent imitation)

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 17:39

My suicide note was a cry for help, dave667.

Jeff Rowleys confession that his real name was not Jeff Rowley.

by paperbag_puncher Wed 26 Sep - 17:50

trottb wrote:Jeff Rowleys confession that his real name was not Jeff Rowley.

Yeah how dare he. Just when you think you know and can trust someone bam that revelation...

Again from a biased point of view I did at times enjoy running sheep. It was a nice mix of boxing and banter and actually proved educational at times...

by trottb Wed 26 Sep - 17:52

It was just that 99% of people thought it was his name and everyone was a little shocked when it came out.

Sheep was awesome, PP! thumbsup

Cheers.

You never know it could make a Ricky Hatton style comeback somewhere down the line...

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 18:02

Pancakes anyone?

by DoubleD22 Wed 26 Sep - 18:39

Apologies I cant remember who it was that came out with this corker...

But in a game of sheep the question was to name someone from any of the Rocky films.

The one person who's answer was Adrienne has got to be my favourite moment. Classic.

Again apologies for not remembering who said it!

Ha it just read exactly how Rocky said it aswell. Pretty sure it was jammin that said it.

by DoubleD22 Wed 26 Sep - 19:16

Think your right with it being Jammin,

Has to be the best Sheep answer ive seen.

by Valero's Conscience Wed 26 Sep - 19:31

Agreed with Sheep, when it first came out I was glued to my PC waiting for the answers! A proud winner once Yahoo

It sounds depressing but when the news of Windy's passing came out it was touching to see all the lovely comments left by everyone. A board in unity for the first and probably only time ever.

by **Seanusarrilius** Wed 26 Sep - 19:33

Sheep was a highlight, these captions are funny, too. Gordy's discipline in wumming was annoyance and brilliance all in one.

Emore and his madness

The board has been humming like a well run Bmore drug corner lately, too, which I love.

Return of old faces like Rodders.

Respect shown for Windy, too. All great

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 19:37

When davidemore flipped the votes on his "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" thread so that he got an overwhelmingly supportive 98% yes to stay.

Classic emore. Smile

When captain lost his nut against waingro when he said Duran was overrated Laugh

"Waingro, I normally try to avoid direct criticism of your peculiar brand of "thinking", but this is just one step too far.

Your knowledge of boxing can be written on the back of a postage stamp with room for the Lord's Prayer next door to it. You haven't the faintest idea about Duran, with the exception of about six fights, and you know nothing about all but a handful of boxers in any case. I don't mind people not knowing anything, as long as they are prepared to learn, but you continue to sound off ill-formed platitudes, half-truths and the most ignorant twaddle I've ever had the misfortune of reading. It wouldn't matter, but your ham-fisted and leaden prose now seems to seep over almost every thread. Please, please, PLEASE research something about a topic before posting on it; there's just a chance that you may end up better informed"

"The reason that people get fed up with you, Waingro, is that you persist in clinging to beliefs that are so ludicrous as to appear from another dimension. A lot of people here seem to think that you are mounting a calculated campaign of idiocy so as to ruin the board. I disagree - I think that you are probably a genuine fan of the sport, but one who doesn't actually know that much about it. As I have already said, that doesn't matter per se. Things become boring, though, when someone who is relatively ignorant persists in delivering ignorant opinions as though they are tablets of stone from Mount Sinai.

One of two explanations is possible: that you are either genuinely not the brightest spark in the grate, or that you are as stubborn as a mule. I prefer to believe that the latter is the case; however, patience is not an inexhaustible commodity, and I can only be bothered to try to make you see sense for so long before washing my hands of you completely, as so many others have already understandably done. Try to listen and learn, just a little bit. You never know, it might help you to enjoy boxing even more than you already do."

I was working abroad the first few months of this year and missed some of this action. Birdgate was excellent though (my wood and pecker retort to Truss remains a moment of personal pride!).

I still don't really know what happened with Coxy - how was he 'outed'?

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 20:00

Coxy was outed like a ballet dancing police officer.

by **seanmichaels** Wed 26 Sep - 20:18

not sure whether it was the new or old 606 but greengiant's exit was fantastic. couldn't access a computer becuase he shagged his boss's missus. cracking stuff. hope he found a new job......

he was talking about club cricket a lot. tina mentioned a place where he may live and i looked on a website and found a cricketer (keeper) named cox and it all went a bit silly from there. god bless geoff........

by AlexHuckerby Wed 26 Sep - 20:22

Trash talk was awesome, although I joined in the mickey taking the "Strictly Come Dancing" Thread was hilarious, was a dark day for Yorkshire when Rowley outed himself as a near on expert of the show.

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 20:25

Lol-- old Rowley loving the dancing queens aye? hehe.

What is really worrying shah is the captain is by no means as sold on Duran as many on here, dread to think what would have happened had Waingro gone after Buchanan or someone the captain really loved.

by davidemore Wed 26 Sep - 20:31

A moment of madness from the captain.

Ha, interesting. But how did this culminate in him leaving the board - or was he dismissed from it?

Getting outed as?

A decent amateur golfer who went heads up against a guy that at one point led the US Open and beat him down the first extra play-off hole? Yup, that was me.

Personal favourite was the "concrete in your handwraps is safer" thread

by captain carrantuohil Wed 26 Sep - 21:10

I remember writing that about waingro, Shah, but since I returned from my sabbatical, I've never actually found out what happened to him. Did he leave of his own volition, was he revealed to be someone already known to us, or did a moderator's patience finally snap?

by Rowley Wed 26 Sep - 21:13

Own volition Captain, much though I wish it was otherwise being a cretin has not yet been added to our list of reasons someone can be banned.

by captain carrantuohil Wed 26 Sep - 21:19

Quite so, Jeff. Was there a devastatingly incisive parting shot, or like the great artist he wasn't, did he leave us dying for more?

not sure if this is the real coxy..... in any case, i wasn't outing you in any particular way, just putting a face (and a slightly dodgy shirt) to a name. miss you brother.
