You know Jack, I've kept my mouth shut on the whole deal for a long time. I loved this forum back in the early days when Cruz and Clint were pretty much the only ones policing the forum. Mostly we policed ourselves and it was a terrific bunch of guys. When Cruz moved on Clint was pretty much on his own. It got too much for him because the site kept growing. When I saw that happening I wish I had stepped up and asked to help moderate the site. I don't know if Clint would have taken me up on it or not. He did end up adding a bunch more staff and that's when it went to shit. There were some really good guys, but that was overshadowed by the bad ones. Moderaters that were worse than any troll for the simple reason they were staff. It was really painful to see this site trashed. It's why I left. They ended up leaving later, but I had already moved on. The site isn't what it was, but it's still better off without them. Too bad so many good posters were lost as well. There's my piece as I see it.

He's just simply telling it like it is.
If this place, or even Spot, had a single poster half the man that Boo is, it would be better off.

It really sucks that all of us here at mmanews are inferior to all the old
posters and everyone at MMASPOT...luckily I am prescribed to Prozac.

Much like Cruz. But those two guys have my utmost respect.

true story.
