I don't want there not to be a focus on wrestling anymore :< I was gonna wait for someone else to say this first, and it just so happened to be Citten...so, cool. Anyways, I do appreciate the hard work you guys have put into the site and the forums, but the only reason I really come to these forums is for one thing, wrestling. I understand that wrestling will still be a focal point of the site, but I preferred it much most when it was the strongest one. I‘m not going anywhere just yet, I‘m going to wait it out and see if it turns out for the better. |

Bookmarks? Can't we just e-mail a mod for a link....? Every time we need to access the boards.... ... ...remind me to hide my GMAIL account from you. :-P |

I think Madison and the rest of the crew are working on the site without turning on maintenance mode on the entire thing. Maintenance mode helps. Less pressure when working with the layouts and stuff. Unfortunately, I can't imagine how many users would be enraged if this forum becomes inaccessible because of maintenance mode...  ;; |

Why can't you just let this one go man? I mean, if you don't care for the changes, that's one thing. But, can't you just leave it be for now? There will be changes. There will be a shift in focus of the boards. But, this stuff takes time man. I just don't see how you harping on how disappointed you are is gonna help Exactly. Just take solice in the fact that this new site is going to lead to nothing but good things for the forum. So the boards didn't get some big boost tonight as well? It'll be soon enough. So are we going to endure dull hype until then? Just get it over with and make all the changes at once. If it doesn't affect the board I don't care. The website could be linked to McDonalds.com. Don't make it seem like the world will change when we log on and it's a tiny difference. Get it over with. And Macho Dude, thank you. In the meantime, congratulations, and I mean that, on all your hard work. I just wish the aspect involving this board was carried out differently. |

now I hate assuming, but in this case I must. I assume that the board is now going to be seperated on many different topics, basically the off topic will be split into many, but will Wrestling be combined into one? If I need to be clearer, instead of WWE, TNA, and Wrest will there only be Wrestling?

Nothing is being changed there as far as board participation. There will still be the usual official PPV threads and everything else, and as always Batista photoshops. |

No offense, Madison, but this just makes you come off as a douche. Sarcasm is a great tool for humor, if you use it properly, which I don't think you're doing very well in this case. You just come off as someone who wants to insult the new guy who doesn't "get it". (yeah I know, slik isn't new to the boards!) I would have expected better from a mod. We've explained several times in this thread what we're doing and he keeps coming back with things we've already discussed. I asked him to read those posts and he continues on about things we've already explained. You know me by now, I hope. I wouldn't have said something like that if I didn't feel it was justified. A lot of people are posting opinions here that are somewhat negative, the name change being the biggest, but I have no problem with that. I knew we were going to have some backlash. I just think his particular continual backlash is one that doesn't justify itself given what we've already discussed here. I'll be bookmarking this post for whenever I get smarmy with someone. I'll just use the excuse that I feel justified doing it. |

On a different note, the fact that we don't really have a forum name (excluding the banner) now is kinda weird. so far that'd be my only "complaint", and that's mere superficial. |

THIS IS A HORRIBLE AND STUPID IDEA AND IT'S DUMB AND I HATE IT. EVERYTHING WAS BETTER BEFORE! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS, MADISON! I'LL KILL YOU TO DEATH!!! [/SBP INTARWEBZ TROLL] In all seriousness, very much looking forward to the site getting off the ground over here. And all y'all complaining about the promised big epic changes and pissing off Madison...cut it out. Pissing off Madison with pointless drivel is MY job.  |

I mean, I searched for years for a wrestling site to join, and when I found this one it was like heaven for me because of the atmosphere. I'm mostly just scared that the focus is going to slowly drift away from wrestling. There's really nowhere else for wrestling fans like me who just like to joke around. |

Because it was hyped like some massive, earth-shattering change and then it ended the same as the higher-power angle. I hold this play to a higher standard than that. |

Slik, I get that you're dissappointed that to you, this is a dissapointment considering the hype. But considering that the focus was always going to be the site's launch, why is this really such a concern? |

As Pig said, as long as people such as you stay, the wrestling aspect of this site will remain strong. Also, there are quite a few writers already (including myself) who will be focusing heavily on wrestling. |
