Well fellas. I think this forum is limping on a its gangrenous last leg. People only posting once a day if that. I wanted to take a moment and say thanks to those left that have made passing the time over the past umpteenth years mostly enjoyable. I can saw I consider many people here long distance friends. I talk to many people here more often than I do my dad and brothe2r, even if it is just arguing.
Id like to keep up with a few people but I'm trying to remove myself from a lot of social media. I know it seems backwards but I'll keep my Facebook for a while because there are other purposes for it other than yapping on my wall about the totes dinner I made my beautiful wife just because. So if you want, hit me up on that, Brooks Floyd.
I can say the only guy ever in these boards I really didn't like was Jackel but everybody else, even though we argued, I enjoyed. My first e-beef was with Matty but then it turned out he was cool.
Tony, I'll hit you up on FB, accept if you want, I'd be interested to talk pot one day.
ValeTudo, dude was cool. Hit me up too if you still come around. Appreciate the delivery a while ago
Cavebear-hope you can keep your nose clean. Stop letting an addiction define you and man up. Hope all goes well and even though we argued a lot, I wish the best for you.
Garth - don't change. Lol. Recommend one more good book before I leave.
Bobo- best mod ever
Andrew--keep up the rage on the board. That was fun.
OC - I think we argued the most. Which is funny because outside of MMA opinions, we share a lot of the same views, just to different degrees. Hope all goes well.
Kyle - I respect all the Cali guys that love there and are conservatives. Sorry your state government sucks.
Kenneth - good job on your comp. I still have your Instagram. Try to keep up.
Oh and fuck Vageta. Dude went full retard the last couple months. He used to be okay but lost his shit for some reason.
Everybody else. Hope all goes well.
Sorry for the attention whore post. I just know I'm weaning off a lot of social media so I may not catch up with all you guys again. Peace
TLDNR- quitting the forum because I'm consuming too much time of social media so I wanted to say farewell and say we can keep up on Facebook if you want as I will infrequently check there because I do other things there as well.

Just kidding, I will accept your Facebook request and you'll probably be back.
I see this happening in a lot of places lately for some reason. A lot of people unplugging. All the way down to the Marvel contest of Champions video game I play. Lot of people getting away from the constant connectivity and getting back to what's actually right in front of them.
I've been feeling it lately as well. A lack of a desire to interact, lack of the desire to argue, and lack of the desire to have so much connected time. I wouldn't say that it's a feeling of being overwhelmed, but I can't give it any other name. Maybe it's the result of years of overstimulation, and a desire to get back to a simpler way of things. Or maybe it's the realization that all the talk and all the arguing changes exactly nothing, and then despite winning the argument or proving a point nothing changes in the grand scheme of things. Like everything else, it gets old. It could also be the kids for me. It is absolutely ridiculous how fast they grow up and time that could be spent with them but not spent with them feels like a waste of my time. Between the weed company and everything else in life right now for me, there just isn't enough time to be wasting it arguing on the internet.
I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors Floyd.

I have been mostly MIA as well from here. For me it's simply being totally overwhelmed at work with what's going on in my local area after those fires last year. I typically check in once a day and see if anything has been posted and havn't contributed much here in a while.
Looking back, I think I started posting at MMA Weekly in '02-'03 maybe. As stupid as it would sound to an outsider, there has been a lot of enjoyment watching people on this board (who I have never met) do well in life and become successful. From good jobs, to kids, to buying houses... there is some strange bond that seems to develop when you are aware of peoples daily lives for so long.
I'll keep checking in here and I hope it at least limps along and people still post occasionally.

Trump has largely killed forums because ... he's a uniter.
More than that is that Political Correctness may be nearing the end of its course. Political Correctness was/ is always a big driver of hissy fit arguments that made such good forum fare. The last 4 or 5 years PC is on the decline: why? Because PC loses every argument. Liberals are sick of open forums, because they have been getting their asses kicked in them for over a decade now. Most forums ten years ago consisted largely of a couple "Lord Garth" types arguing with multiple liberal shit bricks, who all lose, every argument. The shit bricks have fled to echo chambers. They share leftist reinforcing memes with each other on facebook, and unfriend and block everyone else.
Patsux is a recent (albeit minior) example of a leftist who got tired of getting his ass kicked.
Think of the humiliation that leftist forum debaters have suffered in just the last two years! First they had to suffer as their pre-election gloating over Hillary's defeat was quoted back to them. Since then, it's been humiliating self pwnage as they predict WW3 with (everyone), great depressions every week, and Trump/Russia shit that doesn't pan out. In forums, their acrimonious stupidity is quoted back to them. Every limb they've gone out on -in the last two years especially- has quickly broken.
But even prior to that, they were always getting pwnd. Trayvon Martin pwnd them. Michael Brown pwnd them. Every time there's another terror attack/ mass shooting, the shit bricks rushed out to predict it was going to be a white Trump supporter... whoops. They got pwnd by all the "hate crime" hoaxes.
The left is wrong about everything, and leftists can't win debates. A liberal PhD will lose, and has frequently lost, to a conservative drywall guy in a debate 10/10.
A great man once said (on this forum)
"Everything the left says is a lie
Every. Single. Thing."
Libs have got tired of losing debates, so they don't do it anymore. They "debate" each other in closed settings. They debate each other over how many missing girls were killed by Kavanaugh

In the last 3 years, the leftists have openly disavowed facts and logic and replaced them with conjecture and figments of their imagination that they tout as facts. Dont bother posting any DOJ issued crime stats in Facebook chatrooms if you don't wanna catch a 30 day ban... That being said, I feel like Floyd82 was one of the few leftists who actually did his best to apply facts and logic to his opinions and assessments, even though he was always wrong. ;-] I'd buy Floyd a beer if I ever saw him at the bar. I'd buy each and every single one of you guys a beer if I ever saw one of you's guys at the bar. Even you, jackel. Honestly, everyone who made it this far on this forum is a cool mofo in my book. Also, an inside source told me that kavanaugh was the actual Green River Killer...

I unplugged from The Twitter a couple of months back and barely check in on Facebook. I’ve even contemplated getting a less-smart phone to get a little more distant.
All that being said, this would be the last place I’d completely depart. I was on a lot ‘05-‘10 and then drifted and was glad I checked back in just before the forum move. I was around for the other secret forum way back when too.
Not sure what my point is, other than I really hope that nobody signs off for good. I even miss Angelo, though I admittedly skipped over most of people’s back and forth with him.
There is no minimum purchase so just check in less.

Thanks Floyd. I appreciate your sincerity. If you wanna hit me up on FB do so anytime. I'm already friends with several weekly degenerates over there...lol. Take care man. - Jim.
As far as me?? I'm gonna go down with the ship, fuck it.

EVen Andrew has fucked off and gone away.
That's the power of the free exchange of ideas. It's... killing... the... left.
This is why Google, twitter, youtube, and facebook are constantly brainstorming "How do we bring people back to heel? How do we crush truth? We ...must... crush...the...truth"

FYI -I never have and never will be a liberal or on the left. Only time you would hear me argue a leftist idea is if the idea aligned with libertarian principles.

It displays ignorance on your part, that you believe any principle on the left aligns with libertarianism. In fact, libertarianism is as far away from the left as you can get. yeah, I know. The left also wants dope legal, like libertarians You're not a libertarian. You're an "I'm a libertarian," which just means coward who believes that libertarianism is the safe "middle ground" that protects him from criticism and allows him to be friends with everyone

Garth is a trill. This forum was dead before Trump. Started with Weekly closing the already dying forums.
In my opinion, now, it's mostly the pro Trump people who seem to bitch about the liberals.... But you guys won, are wining and are going to continue(re election), it's mostly sore winners.
Evidence that no bone ever post or cares about any other subject like the good old day.

Also, it is why I want drugs legal. I've never thought of libertarians being the middle ground. They aren't. I'm also of The Ron Paul school of thought on immigration. Strong border enforcement and allowing only who we want in. I have no socialist leaning whatsoever. However, if it makes it easier to label me an enemy because I don't agree with 100% of your views, go ahead. Only Garth could try to start an e-beef with someone stepping away. Never change being Garth Garth.

Never change being Garth Garth. I have to agree on a lot of that. I personally don’t agree with homosexuality, but at the same time I could care less if a gay couple gets married. Same on weed. That really pisses me off because I like Ben Shapiro and he still wants to keep the “reefer madness” hysteria going. I’m definitely not a staunch Republican but I loathe the far left and the radical nonsense they push with gender labeling, white privilege, male privilege etc etc. The “either you are with us or we will destroy you through social media and with mob tactics” mentality. Perverse isn’t even a strong enough adjective to describe what they deem progress. The scariest part is when you take a look at England and realize that’s the liberal end game for us. I’ll hit you up on FB

Garth is a symbiotic grub living inside a host body and from the planet Trill in the Star Trek Universe? Sounds about right. I hope his next host body is female.

The problem is spilling political conversations/arguments where they don't belong. This place has become a goddamn echo chamber. I miss the left-leaning people here. Why? Because we don't have to talk about politics the whole damn time.

I don’t claim you’re a looney liberal (that’s a straw man on your part), I claim you’re ignorant and stupid, both of which are self supporting by your own statements. Often I observe that your stupidity supports liberal arguments, but only when it does. I don’t seek to antagonize you, but I call attention to your stupidity - not to antagonize but rather to use your stupidity as an example for others. Whatever butt hurt that inflicts on you is not intentional, but I’m not careful of your feelings
