    I hope this isn't like the last episode of a shitty, long running TV show...and the first episode of next year the deal falls through and the same story is told every week, with different characters playing similar roles.

    Nobody likes different characters, TV, or shitty. This would be my hope.

    dymipepel,
    Please don't stir crap in the general forum, dude. Fightbeat is gonna need all the help it gets, and that means people not stabbing each other in the back. I'm not laying down law or anything like that, but the general forum should be boxing only or site-related stuff. That goes the same for everyone. If we want the site to do well, we can't have this cheapshot stuff towards each other in the general forum.

    Cool, great to hear. Let me know if you still want Godfather and I to run the forums or if you want to go in a different direction. I'll be back full time middle of next week.

    Update - we have decided to turn away from boxing and towards the exciting world of homosexual pornography and dating. This site is to become 'Gaybeat'. Get your credit cards out, homos.

    Concur. Now that this is a gay pickup forum, the number of tiffs and spats will increase exponentially, requiring a firm yet sensitive hand on the tiller. I think we have the perfect team.

    Yep, Godfather and steve_dave get my vote. They're pretty easy to get ahold of, and they make a point of responding to Private Messages from forum members.

    BTW, to our Canadian forum members, Happy Thanksgiving!

    They get my vote too, I like both of them, and they are easily the best mods/admins.

    In fact they are perhaps the only 2 who are laid back and fair, never egotistical arseholes etc.

    I will talk to andrew about this and see what we want to do. We also need to probably talk to you guys as well, because there are things we all need to discuss together. BTW, a while back i decided to create a new fightbeat Font/logo. Who should i email that to? Maybe you guys want to take a look at it? See what you think

    I've been fighting off tears just thinking about forum fonts...arial or verdana? Might have to discuss it with my therapist.

    Hey Buddy maybe we should all get access the top secret mod forum to discuss all this? I have some important thoughts on fonts.

    Actually, for matters of that magnitude, the double top secret mod forum might need to be pulled out of mothballs.

    would you new gentlemen be in a position to post press releases?

    I'll post a quote from of one of them here:

    “I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of this night when I fight for the world title,â€￾ said Dirrell. “Froch has been foaming at the mouth saying how hopeless my chances are against him. Frankly I find his rants tiresome. No wonder Joe Calzaghe didn’t give him a shot. He’s a gasbag. He may have fought southpaws and orthodox style fighters, but he has NEVER fought a switch-hitter like me. I’m going to go Mickey Mantle on him and shoot the works from the moment the bell rings. Mr. Froch can kiss my Yankee Doodle.â€￾

    :lol:

    I don't think even that is secure enough. I suggest we meet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at midnight. I'll be on a jetski......but when I take off my wetsuit, I'll be wearing a full tuxedo. Then, we shall dine.
