Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

subology woulda worked too.  octology = proctology = trouble.

keeping the forums cool as they grow is deceptively simple: we just do it together. reinforce the good behaviors and discourage (without being jerks about it) the bad ones. i don't think a handful of mods, even if they are cool guys who aren't power tripping, can accomplish half of what a few hundred solid members can when they are on the same page about the basics.

i know some people are saying things will get nastier here as the membership grows. maybe, but i'm not convinced it has to. it's a matter of us welcoming in the new people together, asking them to be cool, and so on and so forth. we'll be the genki sudo of mma forums:

Also being the genki sudo of forums is a fantastic goal. I hope with the majority of the people here being on the same page towards respect and maturity we can continue to make the forums a great place to log on and read and chat.  I posted for the first time in months on sherdog because i saw a tapology thread and i posted my invite link with my picks for 129 with hopes of getting some extra points ;)

I've been pretty selective with all the people I've been inviting. Some are posting and some are just lurking, but i made sure not to invite any ****-birds or ass-clowns.

LOL! I don't care if they know. But seriously, I like the fact that I can disagree with people here and it doesn't turn into a ****-show because we are rational human beings and not the ****-nuggets you see at the other site.

UFC.com is full of posters that are hard to avoid. If you are a member there or have scrolled through the threads. You'll know what I mean. My hope is that this doesn't turn out the same way UFC.com has. Again knock on wood lol.

You guys are all right... It's nice.  I love browsing this site.  I usually find something I didn't know about almost every day and it seems all the newer members that post are respectful and chill, regardless of age or country.

Im glad people on here realize that not everyone is a "nuthugger" or "hater". Also dont wanna deal with people who invite you to their town to fight them and then say "yeah, thats right. thats what I thought you *****."

I hate on no fighter.  Anyone who has the balls to step into a cage, whether they are 18-1 or 1-18 has my respect.

Those idiots crack me up, but I wonder if any of them have followed up on the challenge?

It surprises me that some of them seriously issue these challenges expecting people from across te country to spend money to travel there to start a pointless fight. Sherdog was the first forum I ever posted on and it didnt really leave a good imprsession on me.
