    Does anyone else miss FORUM WARS?
    I miss the old days where the forums were bumping. We had EOG, TOW, RX, SBR and Peepsplace. TOW is gone, EOG is dead and the RX is just a bunch of people touting the advertisers. Peepsplace isnt bad but nowhere near what it used to be.

    In the old days Roberto would come over here and make posts in his usual regal fashion. Roberto was probably one of the best posters of all time.

    jjgold would bash EOG on his vids, then threaten to jump ship and leave SBR for more money.

    Kenny would bash the RX for their advertisers and the RX would slam EOG for opening up shop right after Kenny made the sale. This went on for months.

    And then everyone who got banned from the main forums would end up at Peepsplace. Guys like Raiders and AK.

    I sure do miss Forum Wars.

            I just realized that most of the posters here weren't around for the glory days of forums.

            I dislike the new breed of poster. Most of them are stubborn and have very little to add in terms of substance.

                  RONALD I GUESS YOU WERENT AROUND FOR THE REAL AND ORIGINAL FORUM WAR IT WAS BETWEEN RUSS HAKINS FROM MAJOR WAGER AND KEN WEITZNER FROM THE OLD RX THAT WAS THE REAL FORUM WAR.

                  JJGOLD WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WAR I AM SURPRISED HE SURVIVED RUSS HAWKINS HATED THE F-CKING KID

                  EVERY TIME I HEAR THE NAME RUSS HAWKINS I THINK OF JJGOLD AND THE VIDEO HE MADE OF SICK GAMBLER GOING UP TO A HOTEL IN MONTREAL TO MEET HIS CHILDHOOD HERO GUY LEFLAUR AND RUSS HAWKINS WAS GOING TO JUMP HIM WITH A BUNCH OF HIS GOONS TO THIS DAY I THINK THAT WAS JJGOLDS BEST VIDEO

                  MAJOR WAGER AND RUSS HAWKINS VS KEN THE SHRINK WEITZNER AND THE RX THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL FORUM WAR.

                  THEY WERE THE ONLY 2 MAJOR FORUMS PEEPS PLACE AND SBR WERE GHOST TOWNS

                    BTJ, you are correct! Kenny was involved in most forum wars.

                            The MW days were unreal. Lots of chaos and violence.... Free Russy MW.... The man served his debt to society and deserves to be free.

                              It was a lot of fun.

                              Russ pretty much withdrew, Roberto spiraled down to nothing while Ken simply failed and decided to check out early. The Rx sterilized itself by not allowing any hint of anarchy. It was fun while it lasted.

                                      Not only did these six have the most bouts, but their overall fighting record was something like a combined 964-6-79(forget the actual records).........with the six or seven losses only occurring when one faced off against the other.

                                        Ronald, I guess you are speaking more about FORUM vs FORUM though...........and as you stated, these have almost come to a halt.

                                        One reason being that this site(SBR) has completely blown the doors off the competition.

                                        Not even sure what the biggest FORUM RIVALRY is currently??????

                                        TheRX vs. EOG perhaps.............??????

                                          Didn't that feud die with Weitzner? He was, after all, the founder of both sites.

                                          We're talking forum rivalry, not income-generating site rivalry. It's prolly EOG and the forum Mofo and his followers started.

                                              RX is a non factor and on verge of going bankrupt
                                              We have no competition to have a war

                                              Covers is swarmed with all scamming touts

                                              The war is over and SBR won

                                                RX is a non factor and on verge of going bankrupt
                                                We have no competition to have a war

                                                Covers is swarmed with all scamming touts

                                                The war is over and SBR won

                                                True


                                                However, there will be another war starting soon, the question is against what forum.

                                                  Fishhead the problem is no site can compete with us and no threat

                                                  wars are caused by threats

                                                            BTJ had many battles with RUSS..........and is responsible for many of the DRAWS on Russ's fight record, plus one loss.


                                                            BTJ never lost to RUSS..............guessing his head-to-record against RUSS was something like 1-0-18
