    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

    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.

    True


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

    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

    When Rusty kicked JJ and myself to the curb years ago, the place immediately went into the tank.

    Rusty made some great managerial decisions early with his ownership, but they quickly disappeared pre-2006 and never returned.

    Some of us do, although it's usually at Starbucks.
