Incredulously JOe looks at them and says "well yeah" the committee kisses him on the cheek and says "well heres the thing JOe: the old guy (Cupey) checked out and all... but had a habit of not looking at submissions.... your hired!" :laughing::: JOe your a great guy to have on board why don't you PM Reed?
Cupey, you're a hard one to figure out. Here you are saying you want to move on with your life and want nothing more to do with your beloved website. Yet you still want to stay around as a regular member and submit articles and videos. I'm not understanding this at all.:dunno:
Well...if you want to be a site that can compete with the best around, you need to have quality content that is updated regularly. I am a big fan of this site and have been a member of it since Day 1.
You know what? I've had a brilliant idea. I say we merge FightBeat with Nobleart's boxing memorobillia website. So this place will become even bigger and a lot more people will come visit. Every big website out there has a shopping place for people to buy stuff. Why not have fightbeat.com with it's own shopping place for boxing fans to not only read articles and post on forums but also buy autographed material or sports equipment in general? I think it'd be a huge step up for fightbeat! Making it bigger than ever! :kidcool:
I actually liked this place better when it was called FightWorld. Because FightWorld just sounded bigger. Maybe we can rename this place to something bigger and better than FightBeat? FightUniverse or FightBeatUSA or something?
Right Now, Fightbeat has a Quality MESSAGEBOARD (THE BEST on the Net, N Fact)...But The Homepage ISN'T even on Life Support Anymore, the Shit is DECEASED.... It'll Take Some TIME, but by the END of 2009, REED Thinks Fightbeat can Again have a RESPECTED Homepage, as Looooooooong as a COMMITTED Team is in Place... REED:hammert:
What a load of crap. You call walking around a strip joint work? I've seen what "security" at strip clubs do. Mostly drink beer and play grab ass with the regular customers and whores that work there. You don't do shit end of story so fuck you. As far as your failed boxing career. Exactly what the fuck is a USAF title? Were you even ranked in the top 100?
Thanks, REED! :: ProofREEDing and fact checking are very important, but they are often disregarded on the web.
I like FightBeat. It gives the site a news feeling. There just needs to be news on the site. :: And I mean actual news and articles...not just folks' opinion pieces.
Hmmm ... I'd like to hear more details. Like I said, I don't do partnerships. Having said that, this isn't really a business per se ...
So you're saying that you want to REE-Do the front page where more visitors will stay and REED quality articles? This is a good idea.:kidcool:
Petre, you have to understand that YOU have the power to make this into a business if you like. You can do it and we will support you. All in favour of Petre becoming the new owner of FightBeat...raise your hands!!!!

I also have another BRILLIANT idea to push FightBeat.com to whole new levels. I say we create WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT called the FBC Championship, "FightBeat Boxing Council" Title and we put the belt on Stinger's boy Chris Henry who will represent our championship proudly. And we'll have Chris Henry wearing Fightbeat gear wherever he goes which will increase our vistors to the site! What do you think dsimon?
If this thing takes off dsimon, I say you offer free meals to all fightbeat members at your restaurant. We'll pop champagne bottles and celebrate a new era of FightBeat!
It's not that hard to understand. It's one thing to be a contributing member and quite another to be the one in charge and taking all the heat when things don't go right....even when it may not be your fault. It will probably be refreshing for Cupey to just be part of the gang and contribute info every so often.
I like Cupey a lot but I'm pissed at him for making Reed do so much hard work of writing countless top quality articles and NEVER putting them on the homepage for people to read. I'm f*ckin' pissed!!!
I just hope the new owner(s) add a front page with like boxing articles, interviews and news. It could be huge.
