Is WZ dead now?

[Hyorinmaru]

The only reason I didn't jump ship is because the SC design fucking sucks.

Probably should have waited to join after saying this.

Makes you look a tad hypocritical

 

[Slyfox696]

The design sure isn't (the template Sly – all of them)

If you find a free template you think looks better for vBulletin 4 that is free, let me know and I'll look to install it. I'd love to have more options. I've been busy with various first time troubleshooting, but I plan on doing more with templates later. But if you find a good one, let me know and I'll look into it.

In fairness, anyone who posts on WZ isn't totally deterred by forum template.

I'm not on Creative but I think that WZCW will move soon.

WZCW will stay on WZ as long as WZ exists.

 

[Khalifa]

The Fed being here will help. Really surprised it’s not moving though (not that I’m complaining). Why not?

 

[Lee]

The fed's been here for 11 years. There's no need for it to jump ship at the minute.

I always thought that sour grapes just meant you didn't like the fact that some grapes are sour and that caused you to throw a fit, then I had to read Aesop in high school and learned what it really meant. Fucking old people.

If you ever get a permanent ban at SC, you'll see how much of an hypocrite I really am!

 

[Hyorinmaru]

That doesntceven make sense.

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Yes.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Where is Rob Taylor when you need him?

I hope not. I haven't posted here on a regular basis in several years, but I will always hold in high esteem the conversations and fun I've had on here with so many posters. I'll be honest, these days if I feel like writing about wrestling, even though I barely watch the modern product, I'll probably post on Reddit. But I have tried to make a few posts here and check in atleast once a year because I have so many fond memories of interacting with this awesome community over the years. I was a fan as a kid from 97-03 but right around 03 I "outgrew" wrestling and didn't pay it any attention until 07. I dove headfirst back in and WZ was the place that helped me navigate all the lost time behind me, that helped me understand the product again after a near five year break. I joined this forum in 07 and I'll try my best to post here until the day it unceremoniously dies.

Honestly I don't post as much but I like to read the spam sections a lot. Sam's thread and some of the spam zone are great fun.

Honestly though the LD is a bit archaic. Whenever I watch wrestling, I'm far happier to go to a live chat or IRC. Is it messier? Sure is but feels equally more alive.

I still love this place hwoever the state of threads like the NXT thread just essentially being a nest for KB's reviews brings me down (Not that that's a bad thing, KB is the only wrestling critic I will ever make time to read) as I remember all the posting there and me, Norcal and Sam at different points being hyped about the Ascension

I'm still here but this place has become a bit of a shell. I'm usually on reddit like others.

 

[That N Word]

I was just about to ask the same thing. This has become a ghost town.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

I post on both forums, depending on my mood. Might also start the same threads, which is stupid, but I might do it.

 

[shattered dreams]

For someone who was just wondering today if this place still existed this all makes a more interesting read than I was expecting.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

so this is a thread.

What happened that there was a mass exodus? Is there a thread to catch up on?

Someone got called a fucking ****** and a third party got offended to the point he emailed Crave after Sly didn't give him what he wanted

Someone from Crave actually listened and logged on after who knows how many years and not only demodded the mod who called someone a Fucking ****** but Sly as well without even the curtesy of talking to him.

KB & Sly then made their own forum so we all have a place to go after this place shuts down.

 

[Remix]

The forum's been dying slowly for years even before ******gate. There are simply other more up to date, and probably better places to discuss wrestling. There's just no feed in from the main site to the forum now and without that anyone googling for a wrestling forum is going to find wrestlingforum or /r/squaredcircle first. And because old posters fuck off for various reasons (sometimes they come back, mind) and there's no replacement the forum enters a death spiral.

It's not like the WZ forums had the world's greatest moderation to begin with. Lots of mods were inherently unfriendly to new users, and the place became a cool kid's club a few years back.

No disrespect to Sly and KB, but it's not like this place was thriving to begin with, and I'm not 100% sure Sly's demotion had much of an effect one way or another, just by taking one good look at the traffic in the main forums, and the spam sections.

I think most people (like me, for example) come back and visit like they visit their childhood neighborhood. It's just interesting to see how things have changed, and comparing them to how they were. This place appears to be a ghost town, and it's been over a year or more since most of my friends have last posted.

Cough Cough moonbase.

Not yet but he's paid out of pocket to keep this forum running when it's gone down over the years. If the forums go down i don't see Crave doing the same.
