Hello and a confession

First off, what the hell happened here? Back in the day these forums were incredibly active. Now it seems like a ghost-town. I guess long gone are the days of KB, Slyfox, Coco, NorCal, and the rest.

Second, I have a confession to make. I know this goes against the rules (or at least it did many years ago), but this is an alternate account. Not too evade a ban or anything -- simply because I forgot the details of my original. It's been that long.

About ten years or so ago I posted on these forums frequently under the name Stinger. What I want to say is that my everything I said about myself on that account was a lie. None of it was true. I lied about my age, my name, my work, everything. I did this because at the time I was young and stupid and thought I needed to embellish myself to be respected. And it worked. I was accepted into the "inner circle" of posters here and treated at least mildly respectfully. For that I thank those who were around. I realize that this was wrong of me, and for that I apologize.

Anyway, I just wanted to get this off my chest. Ban me or don't, I won't be coming back to this site. I don't even like wrestling any more. See ya.
 
In case you lurk in hopes of a response, yeah this place is the drizzling shits since the update few years back. Only mods around are the psyckohurricane guy and maybe Dagger. Ppl who just can't let go. I just hope they're getting paid because holy fuck.

Few of us lurk around from time to time. It was for a laugh mostly, but now it's just sad to see this place continue to its piss pour quality. That and the ugly forum interface, the ppl in charge firing Sly, etc has made this place a barren desert.

Funny enough KB made his own forum, steelcageforums, and it's way better to look at than here and I'd argue it has better posting, but it too has only a handful of people anymore and KB wasn't willing to expand and advertise so ppl got bored and left that pretty quickly too. Some of us moved to WrestlingClique, Wreddit, some like me are more into Discord, and others like yourself simply grew out of wrestling.

Cheers for the ride Stinger. Nobody cares about the lie now, but back in the day that would have been an impressive thread full of overreactions.
 
I doubt you'll ever see this, but in case you check every so often as I do, I just want to say a few things:

1. This is somehow the least surprising confession I've ever read. It is so sad how this forum got taken over, revamped, and while the search function is better everything else is so much broken and worse. This used to be THE place for wrestling talk, or so it felt. No other replacement really sang to me, and now I've fallen out of wrestling, though I'm slowly falling back into it.

2. We all did some stupid shit for attention way back when. Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone trying to impress everyone...it was all a wild ride. It would've been funny to see this thread back when things were active.

3. I actually have so much fondness for some of your weird lies that ballooned hard. It's almost nice to get some closure on them. I mean, hey, you're the reason I still laugh whenever I see Mike's Hard Lemonade or think about Lucky Cannon. Remember Crystal Pepsi? Good times.

I hope you're doing well. I hope we all are. This place was an irreplaceable part of my high school years, and that includes all the dumb spats we used to get into.
 
Right now, I wouldn't mind if they just kill this place and let it die. I don't mind being a moderator of the dead place but at the same time, it make me sad to see what happened to it as I had so many good memory of this place when it actually was popular and how many argument I got into with other members of this place.

It would be for the best, there does seem to be more life on other forums, this one appears to have unfortunately ran its course.

I enjoyed it here, I don't follow Wrestling as much as I did when I was younger but I enjoyed the interaction on here.
 
Seeing this actually hurts a bit. I just decided to pop in for the first time in forever and to see the complete lack of new posts is painful. While this forum was full of assholes who thought they knew better, myself heavily included, there was a sense of comradery and community and it's sad to see it gone.

To those of you that come back, I wish you healthy and happy lives. From the arguments to the shared joy of a good fucking match. Take care, stay safe, and try not to dwell too much on your faults from 10 years ago. Everyone grows up and everyone learns.
 
I agree.. I logged in to look over my old threads which are probably in the archives, but I cant see any of them. Was once a hot forum around the 2010's and earlier.
