How long has Fight Island just been troons complaining about wrestling while also being completely addicted to it? Had a weird SA renaissance at the start of lockdowns because I wanted to help some goons find martial arts gym, give them advice, etc, but the mods Brut and Mekchu were at each others throats daily after the long serving furry mod quit. Got into some power struggle that Brut won, checked out as soon as I realized how retarded everyone was, but checked the forums recently and what the fuck lmao. That was a decent place to talk martial arts and seems to have had the same fate as the rest of the site at record speed. Getting to see a private struggle to become top-mod on a tiny subsection of a dying forum because someone stepped down and they "saw their chance to finally be someone" or whatever was pretty funny though. Have hundreds of discord messages of these people complaining about Brut and the initial internal drama if anyone is interested but I imagine if you didn't post on Fight Island no one gives a shit.

At least a decade, because it was getting like that when I last posted there, and I stopped posting on SA in 2012 or 2013. A lot of the same faces were around back then, Jerusalem, MassRayPer, Rarity, Livid Liquid. Rarity was a troon back then, and I think Livid Liquid has since trooned out as well. MassRayPer and Jerusalem would just write walls of text paraphrasing stuff from Wrestling Observer, and you weren't allowed to argue with them because Dave Meltzer's word is gospel. They also all thought turning black wrestlers heel was racist, and there was a strict prohibition on talking about how attractive a woman wrestler was or wasn't. Leaks that were posted to Something Sensitive 7-8 years ago revealed half the guys on there were apparently buying rarity stuff in exchange for troon nudes, but of course that's all memory holed now because of that fat faggot Aaron.
 
the mods are out of control

Actually this poster is apparently a pedo, lol
 
It is old news, but it will never stop being funny that the SA front page has been frozen in time since 2020, and the last ever article was this apology to the furry community. I checked it out for some reason, and it is still the way it was years ago. One of the first thing SA was famous for was going after furries, and it is just a perfect full circle from there.

I think the last thing Lowtax did as site owner was redact the furry apology and replace it with "lmao, this was retarded". If they reversed that edit then his legacy is truly dead.

The best/only good time in the fight forum history was when that Ain Paradiso guy just trolled the shit out of everybody for years. I'm fully convinced he was a fighter that used the forums to talk shit about other fighters he hated because he'd always pin point some rising new fighter the forums had made their darling and post a "Actually he's shit and here's why", get backlash about it, then everything he'd say would turn out to be true.

He's the one who ended up outing the mod Fatherdog as a furry faggot after getting tired of Fatherdog pretending he knew anything about jiujitsu. Not wanting to settle for just being a fake jiujitsu grappler, Fatherdog would go on to pretend to be an actual MMA fighter and get knocked out in his only two fights in less than 60 seconds both times.

I love that each subforum has its own insane lore to it.

Paradiso was also one of the guys who founded and used to run Bullshido, the website that created the term "McDojo". He wasn't a UFC fighter, but he is a very good coach in the feeder gym system on the East Coast iirc. He was one of the few posters in the venture bros threads that didn't just spout off random quotes in every post.

I really miss the Bullshido Wiki. It was jam packed with info on the craziest dudes ever. One of my favorites was a fake sensei from Louisiana whose actual legal name was - I shit you not - Karl Marx.

Even better, the author still got screamed at by furries on twitter for issuing the apology "too late", even though he had nothing to do with the site until like 15 years after the furry gas chamber. The issue with furries isn't their weird fetish, it's their chronic autistic inability to grasp other people's perspectives.

Phiz Kalifa's other frontpage contributions consist of non-comedic rantings about toxic males, Elon Musk, Linus Torvalds, Joe Rogan, and an impassioned love letter to the class of 2020 for experiencing the worst most terrifying thing any high school class has ever experienced. HINT: It's not 9/11, not multiple wars, not the daily knife fights of 1992 when youth crime rates were 4x higher, and it wasn't the cold war either.

But we will beat Trump and covid with the power of LOVE! Gosh, if it was taken a bit further it could have been a parody, but sadly it wasn't

I think another article was replaced with that text, and the furry apology was replaced with the text that you already see in the frontpage screenshot.
 
Yes, but it appears gone? Or renamed?
Also I noticed mentally ill bullshit artiste Jestery is now a mod, and it appears he's trans now, which I guess explains why he's a mod. I really haven't been paying attention to the place lately. I only wanted to revisit Honeyboy's magnificent post about meeting an Asian chick for sex and inadvertently beating up a tranny hooker he mistook for her.

Renamed, it's Internet VFW now.

I remember this post, the original probably got memory holed because I can't find it, but found someone quoting it here (Archive)

The post in question:

Honeyboy Bradley posted:​

I think I already told this story but it's fresh in my mind so here it goes again:

A few years back I was in Chicago for a while and made an OKCupid profile to score easy women off the internet. I started talking to an asian girl who didn't have any clear pictures of herself on her dating profile. She was down to fuck the Honeyboy after a night of seductive OKC messages so she gave me her number and address and I drove down to get my freak on.

She lives in Boystown. For those who don't know where Boystown is, it's an area of Chicago where all the gays hang out. We were gonna go to a movie in Boystown's theater and then back to her place for nasty interracial sex.

So I'm driving around Boystown by the movie theater and I see an asian girl standing on the street corner. I'm like 'oh fuck thats gotta be her' because she had the same body type as the girl's OKC profile. So I slow down in my car and wave at her through the front window. She sees me and comes up to my driver's side window and that's when I see it's a fucking man.

Like he had a five o'clock shadow and everything. He looked like Mr. Miyagi with a wig on. So I didn't ask any fucking questions I just got out of my car and started beating his ass. Like I went full Tekken combo on this decadent son of Sodom. Then I spit on him and got back in my car and started driving home.

A few minutes later she starts calling my cell and I pick up because I'm ready to talk mad shit to this tranny that tried to trick me into going on a date with him. But it was a woman's voice saying 'Where the fuck are you? You're fifteen minutes late.'

'Uh, is this not just the person I just met?'

'No? What the fuck I'm still waiting outside the theater'

And that's when I realized I had unwittingly beat up a tranny prostitute. He probably saw me waving at him through my car window and thought I was a John. So I didn't go out on the date that night I just drove home and jerked off. I still feel bad for doing that though. The prostitute was probably like 'Oh theres a John I'm gonna make some cash tonight' but instead he got dropped.
