    I check articles at Maxboxing sporactically and today Steve Kim said in his article that today is his last article for Maxboxing. Coyote Duran said the same thing.

    Is the site closing or are they simply leaving.

    What's going on over there?

    That site has been slowly grinding to a halt the past few years, only Kim added any value, a site minus Kim but retaining that gimp Montoya is dead in the water.

    Exactly the same for me. I'm not sure I've visited it once in almost a decade.

    I actually moderated at that site for like a week back in 2002... Some guy at SecondsOut was a maxboxing admin and liked my "work" in mythical matchups... He asked if I wanted to moderate a similar forum at maxboxing and I said sure why not... After about three days on the job during which I never actually did anything, he sent me an email accusing me of erasing some archives or some damned thing... I told him he was mental and he emailed a few more times going on about this thing he believed I had done... I told him I never touched a thing and to fuck off... That was my entire maxboxing experience

    They contacted us here and told us that story. Which is why we never made you mod.

    I gave up both and told Donnybrook to take over

    Eaner is cool, not really affiliated with the site anymore either. Most of the rest of that site is trash. It was good back in the day, though.

    I was a mod there too. Left because I couldn't stand how lame it eventually got.

    Any idea where the core of their membership went? Perhaps some quit posting altogether but I can't imagine all of them did.

    Curious as to what went down. Steve was there when it was House of Boxing. When Dougie left for Ring Magazine it made sense.

    I always liked Dougie and still read him. Kim was far too full of himself. Always found him to be a dickhead.

    whatever pertinent information kim would write about in his articles he'd mention on his twitter first. leaving no reason to check the site, if you were willing to sort through all the non boxing related drivel he talked about on twitter.
