Times have changed!?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Firstly I will start by saying I'm pretty drunk which is nothing out of the ordinary. What is out of the ordinary is that I'm, for some reason deciding to comment on the following ...

 

The mmatycoon forum!

 

You used to be fun. Something I looked forward to reading on a daily basis! Something I could spend a few boring hours at work reading and commenting on, wether it was smack talking some idiot who I was gonna inevitably lose too, or reading a quality peice of writing, or smirking angrily at another 'I piss excellence' thread by karter, or... I dunno, I've forgotten what was so great about the forum!

 

Excuse my rather sad vent at the forum but it just doesn't have the same effect as it used to have on me. Am I alone on this feeling or is there others out there? Is it just me losing interest in this once wonderful forum? What has changed if anything!? What's missing?

 

Perhaps it's just me. Feel free to share your wisdom/feelings or ofcousrse don't comment at all and allow me to feel like a right bellend tomorrow for going out my way to right this.

 

Mmmmmkay bye.

Yeah it's definitely changed. I think a big factor is the active users dwindling down and being replaced by new users who don't use it as much. We got over 10k users now (Insert multi joke here), and see like 300 online at most at any one time, and have less than 100 users on the forums it seems, which is less than 1% of the total base. Plus factor in a lot of people have salty vaginas about some things on the forums they don't like and it leads to even less activity.

 

Shit, we need the days of everyone hating Jacky back and wanting him to lose.

Absolutely grant. Absolutely. I wasn't even active in the jacky hate days so that says solemn ting about the diminishing quality of the forum. Lol. I salute you and marky for the podcast though that really adds something although it's been a while, BUT that's because of the lack of interesting forum banter so not your fault at all. Also, you are right about salty vaginas, I think. As the late great castor Rollins said, or at least for what he was known for was winding up people including myself and bringing drama in one form or another to the forums... all be it stupidly hilarious but at least it was entertaining....

 

Aaaand I've lost track of what I was saying but you get what I mean...

I have to agree with you, it does look like less people are on the forum. But there are still some good posts now and then. You mentioned the podcasts, I have never checked them out I will have to do that. I have never been on chat either, I hear people complain that it is dead to, but again I would not know. It would be nice to read some of the trash talking like we used to have, or some of the old stories.

I wonder where everyone on the internet is going. The rap site I used to use...ghost town. The MMA site I'm on used to do Pick Em matches with like 30 people...last week there was 4. This site had loads as you say and now it's got a lot less.

 

 

So what are the people who used to do this shit moving onto? Is there a place on the net everyone ended up? haha

The weird thing is according to the numbers, the site is actually growing, but activity has slowed down massively. Maybe it's because there are just a lot more casual players around now, but it looks really weird to me.

 

 

and cheers Rory, plans already in the offing for a future trip to the states with some mates (Pardon my sick rhymes).

Cause where I'm living in Ireland makes Wales look like a metropolis haha.

 

Nah best mate's living there for college so I thought I'd head over for a session. I'll be back in Glasgow for my birthday which will also be good but it's hardly Vegas haha.

I honestly don't know what's happened but I have noticed the forums have been quite inactive recently. I was loving the whole CK / Dinooo drama thread, had a couple of brilliant moments in there. There's not much I look forward to these days when it comes to interesting reads on the forums, CK's smack talk posts are one, GBK's write ups for Trinity is another. I do enjoy the write ups the orgs do which I have my fighters signed to: Trinity, Primal Combat and Lumpinee (KT) who have some great write ups in their media thread, whoever is running that organisation is doing a fantastic job... :shades:

 

One of the things I miss the most on the forums is the MMA Hype write ups. I was a big fan of them and it was sad to see them stop.

 

There's also no character like Jacky around any more either. He was disliked by many and was essentially the villain in MMA Tycoon who everyone wanted to see get beat and he always seemed to capture the attention of loads of users with some of his fighters by bragging them up to be the best in the game.

 

ITFL struggling to fill up could be related to the forum activity but there's been posts about it on the main site so I'm not too sure if that's the case plus ITFL Season 3 also took a while to get sign ups iirc but I'm not 100% sure on that.

 

I feel that the MMA Tycoon world being boring is down to a combination of a lack of fight hyping / smack talking by the managers of the top fighters in the game and the top organisations (I'm looking at you EVO, CEC, Syn) in the game. The thread about EVO Undisputed 2016 has been around since 15th February but it hasn't really kicked off with people being excited about the card and I'm not overly sure why. I only realised that Hector Camacho and Donowitz vs Hurmio 3 was on that card there now and that's most likely due to a lack of hyping from EVO themselves. I don't mean to target EVO only, I can't remember the last time CEC had a massive card that I was interested in. Syn was doing a great job for a while when they had a writer and even had a website which I thought was pretty cool but since has sort of faded away again, perhaps their MW tournament will spark some interest.

We need a new Jacky, but sadly, nobody could ever fill that Snake The Pendulum sized hole in this game

Fuck it Rory. You think the forums are dying, and I think the forums are dying too, so let's liven this shit up a bit.

 

I'm a scrub, and you're a scrub, so let's duke it out to see who really is the King of the Scrubs!

 

I challenge ya to a 5v5 series, which will happen as soon as the proposed fights can happen, hopefully all on the same card. A quick look through our rosters, and these are some of the matchups I could find.

Arnie Armstrong

( http://mmatycoon.com/scoutfight.php?fida=260708&fidb=258491 )

or

I'm just gonna take a look at the matchups now again, but I think I gave you an ID advantage in all of them (Except for maybe the 2 GONY fights, but they would be similar ID).

 

So what do ya say Rory? Up for a scrap?

Fight fight fight fight, no pussies up in here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too many pussies in the forum is the problem anyway. Least I can say fuck you to CK and he'll tell me he's already busy fucking my mom.

Listen i dont know how was it before all i know is that you sound like someone that lost hes spark and motivation.....

You know if you look at it everything seemed better before or worse depending on the prespective, i just think older managers get too stuck to their paterns of taking the game(mostly because "it works for them")....so with time becomes boring and repetitive i think.....there are plenty of new talented managers in the game ready to embarc on new adventures but there is not many old members that would take their new enovative ideas on board....i think that just like in life the future is the new ,so new ideas from new managers should have more weight whenever the older managers consider them or listen to them.......

This will happen (probably will change some of my fighters as you chose some real scrubs there) but I will get back to you on Sunday. Rory has to get back on it today. An old mate is in town :/.

The biggest downfall of the forums has been the lack of true rivalries and guys that could trash talk. Guys like J-bomb, Estefan, Chuck Grace, Shiv, Soyster, Pico, shiftas, hell even Jacky were some of the best at trash talking, interviews, and all around hype men I remember. It seemed at least once a month we had a very hyped up fight or even an entire event from Syn, CFC, NFC, Blitzkrieg or IMMA that had lots of us just waiting for the events.

 

My hope is we get some new blood in the forums that can add to the "new age" of trash talkers and hype men like dinooo, Bjorn, Rory, GBK and Callum. As well as some of the old school guys like JLP, Stu, Joe Lang and Chris K.
