Did it just get to long or something? Couldnt we just get it to split. Dallas or Evan can you guys ask about that? Sorry I havent posted much guys they are limiting my internet time at work (well in my group) and my laptop at home died but ive almost got it fixed. I wanted to share with you guys that I have been learning Ju Jitsu. I have class 2 times a week and I love it.

Quick version: Everybody agreed that the thread had just run its course and that new threads should be started for new news, so the mods killed it. The end!

On the other note, cool beans. Seems only right that somebody here should train in something :lol

I think its better closed so we have more focused discussions but do y'all want to re-vote it open?

whatever everyone wants is fine with me

If we want to open like a General Conversation thread or some shit like that, to just shoot stuff around that's cool. But any MMA news that is relevent should get it's own thread. It was too easy to put stuff in there and it rarely got discussed. This way for MMA news is much better, like we said before we got the forum, might as well take full advantage..

Biggest reason why it needed to change is that IMO

Maybe we could re-open it but change the title to something like General Conversation or something (NON-MMA news topics)? I don't know but if we go back to the way it was, things won't get discussed like they should..

Evan

should we open it up for small small news?

dallaskd
03-28-2009, 01:13 PM
yes. and i say we stick it so it'll always be there.

Oh boy Evan i say we should change the title.. If we don't i really think people are going to post good MMA topics in there and it won't get discussed..

I think we need a thread to post smaller tidbits...not everything is thread-worthy...

Evan
03-28-2009, 01:19 PM
Dessy..djohn...Atrain and Leonard need to voice their opinions...lets wait to see what they say

ok ok...

"Noteworthy MMA Hits, News, and Notes..." seems fine to me...plus that could also be our offtopic thread.

LEONARD
03-28-2009, 01:21 PM
possible names...

"MMA Quick Hits, News, & Notes" :D

"MMA Stuff Not Worthy of it's Own Thread"

"Leonard Owns Dio"

What classifies as minor though?

I think major fights announced
Injuries
Articles on big upcoming fights, etc, all neeed their own threads..

So what are examples of minor stuff?? I just don't want the above ending up in there again..

We need a place to post in that you can vent or talk about anything MMA.

something like Mayhem's new show on MTV...

or training footage for somebody preparing for a fight (if there isn't a thread for that event yet)

I like that ^^^^^^^^^^

Evan

it seems like everyone is on the same page...as long as big news gets its own thread we're good right?

off-topic? how about notable instead. everything is techincally on the same topic.

I see what everyone is saying, okay i just think we need a title that says it's minor notes and off-topic. That should take care of it..

Notable can mean important though, and we want all the important stuff to have it's own thread. Minor is a better word IMO..

BJ still whining about the loss to GSP
Tim Sylvia still sucks
Dana is an asshole

All minor stuff, to be discussed but not important..

I am fine with whatever y'all decide but I must say I like dbreiden83080's the best but anything will be ok with me.

Evan

I kind of like Leonard owns Dio lmao.....yeah as long as we have a thread for minor topics or general conversation that will cover it. I just hate seeing that thread die since its all we had for a long time and its a good read if you go back and see where we all started.

IF most of us agree maybe we can change it to

"Off-Topic/Minor MMA News and Notes"

See how it goes for a while and like you said we can make an adjustment if we have to..
