Pretty much the tourney is the only reason I'm still here.

After it's done, I'm gone for a while.

The TD section has gone to hell.

The only good conversations are with you guys and the T+R guys.

That's a shame you feel that way.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Ive tried it for a while and its just ridiculous. Guys just voting for buddies, or out of spite. A lot of them are clueless junior high kids. Im trying my best to have fun with it, but Im starting to reach the point where you are. I shouldve just stuck to the MMA forum. It seems like most of the guys on here are mature and cool.

I've been here since May of 2007, and this site has reached an all time low.

It used to be fun, now It's driven me a way.

Hope to see yall on Sportsnickel after the tourney.

I voiced a lot of that on my DJ TD. Which for some weird reason was deleted.

Yeah. I rarely checked out the td section in about a month. And as the voting goes. We all know who sends out the most fm.

I think we need MMA tourneys constantly going in the TD section. But I know they are a time commitment to run as well.
Even if the voting can't be fully controlled, at least we can control our own votes and comments and so many of the MMA TDs turn out to be great reads.
A lot of the crazy Roni vs. Jim rants from this year would have been excellent in TD format.
A lot of the outside voters can't be controlled but it still makes for a good competive trash talk environment where it also forces you to argue logically.
I get the frustration - and it sucks that the mods don't make cleaning things up a priority - but I still enjoy reading TDs and occasionally doing TDs and until some other site comes up with a cooler version of that, I'll stick around here probably regardless of the sloppy admin and random trolls (hard to avoid trollage on any free site though).

I'm gonna stick around to finish the tourney unless I get deleted.I will have the next round up Wednesday.I'm gone at least from TDs after the tourney is finished.

Krypto never challenged me, how are you handling us for the next round? are we both out?

if Krypto was supposed to challenge you, that means you move on... (where's krypto???)

I agree. I'm not going anywhre. I did sign up on the Other site but it doesnt impress me. They have 60 memebers. They may thinks they have this forum thing down pat but wait til they get 1000's of members. they will then have a hard time blocking and banning the same peole they are trying to avoid.

same here.
I went there. Too many adds, too many colors, and more important, they have popups... I absolutely HATE them...
I'll stay here for a while.

I also think the boards are cleaner looking here. theirs are like a kid's version of this one...
I like the people there (the writers of SN are cool), but I would only move if everyone from here moved... and that is a maybe....I would probably then just abandon the boards....

I can;t even get on to their forum sit now for the last 1/2 hour. Keeps saying error
