    And just stay here.

    At least we have a forum. So what if Cupey technically owns it? It's always been a forum anyway, for us to talk, none of us even give a fuck about the homepage.

    Boxing fanatics is crap, this place has better posters and a much nicer feel to it.

    I like BF but there are always problems integrating new people into an established site, old e-feuds etc.

    Nobody's going anywhere. Just that little girl whiskey threw a hissy fight.

    Trust me, this place is much, much better than boxing fanatics.

    As long as the server works, who really gives a shit about Cupey?

    And if any of you are doing it to make a stand so to speak, for Cupey being a twat and screwing Andrew/Godfather etc, well just read Andrew's post, even he wants to stay.

    Cupey didnt screw me and Andrew. He screwed all of you by not selling it to us. Its easy to say lets stay now. But when this place was moving 1 mile an hour, everyone wanted to leave. What if it happens again?

    Yes, possibly he did screw all of us by pulling these shenanigans.

    But we'd be screwing ourselves by moving to BF. It's queer over there. Stale atmosphere, no fun stuff, just dull.

    We have a nice little community here, just the same group of us for fucking years.

    If you really want to abandon this place, just start a brand new forum, and we'll ALL move over there. Easy.

    In which case it would be just like this place, but without Cupey, and hopefully with a better server, and Andrew as the owner.

    the czar at boxingfanatics said I'm banned for several years. I cannot return there even if I chose to.

    do they even discuss boxing there?

    I tend to agree. Did you ever sign up here when the server was arsed?

    Well I hope that maybe Andrew and his crew will be interested again in the future. I just don't want to sell to anybody. In the meantime I'll keep pressing forward and working us back into a respectable site.

    So was that the real reason for your disappearing act?

    Did you actually price yourself out of selling this place when you sent Steve_Dave that offer?

    Punk, no I didn't, but I'll do that now.

    I honestly can't believe anyone would voluntarily sign up at BF though.

    Full of hideous, boring people, and a twat of an owner, and just not atmosphere or spark there.

    I shall say though, the only person from there that's cool, that I've always liked - is "SuperJ".

    I work 12-hours a day teaching 200+ women. I've been very burnt out my friend. It's taken me up until recently to recover. Last year I went to the emergency room in the evening from teaching because I thought I was having a heart attack. I can show you the bills to prove it.

    No, I didn't price myself out. The price is still the same. Unfortunately, with the delay of the paperwork and the economy being what it is the buyers decided it wasn't the right time. That doesn't mean things won't change in the near future, but I believe for now they will just be looking to see how things play out.

    Cupey the thing is, you no longer want to run this site do you?

    You also said you don't want to sell it to just anyone, and would rather sell it in house.

    Now I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you don't believe it's worth 4k or whatever, or even 3k.

    So why don't you just sell it to Andrew and Godfather for cheap, you won't have to worry about it anymore, you can buy a treat with the money etc.

    It strikes me as a little selfish and greedy to hold onto the site when you don't even want it, when there are potential owners eager to take it off your hands, but you're holding out for a sum of money that I'm sure you know you won't even get.

    It's strange, I don't get it.

    The people here don't want to pay that much, an outsider isn't going to pay that much, and you probably know this, so I guess the only thing I can think of is what other people have suggested that you actually want to keep the site. Maybe just for the odd free fight ticket or what? I don't know.

    With the economy showing signs of improvement and more companies turning to internet for advertising I think it would be quite easy to get the money I asked for. An outsider will easily see the potential in what FightBeat has to offer and the investment is small for someone interested in the site. Consider that the Euro is stronger than the dollar and it's like getting fightbeat for 1/2 price to them. That's why I received offers from people oversees. I turned them down because that's not the direction I want to go. However, I'm putting a cut off point on this and if by September I don't have the right people I will either sell at a lower price to the inside people, or chose my more financially benefecial alternative and sell to someone in the UK.
