The greatest ever 606 characters, wummers and beefs? Old and new

First topic message reminder :

Can all get a bit serious on here, so why not reminisce a little?

Funniest characters, beefs you have had, wummers you love to hate, the whole capang.

Beefs: I haven't had many really. Just short lived ones. I think Seanmichaels threatened to "find me" once (might not have been him) on the old 606, but we're golden now haha.

I also beef with Az ona reg basis here.

For me the old Dave667 v Truss battles were funny. Dave doesn't post so much now but he was always fun.

Truss and his aliases like Wussman (remember him?)

The way Windmill put people down in such a scholarly fashion.

Shenglong, brilliant. When he used to put his headlinesque posts on the beeb site, haha.

Steffan was fun.

Emore makes me laugh.

Loved Howthefook on the old site. Such a nice guy from his posts. Shame he left. Pacman79 was cool, too

And Spring. The original Spring, brilliant. "Marquez is ducking Naz cos...."

Badgerhands and Baltimora. What happened to them?

Do the mods keep a list of who gets banned?

Yes I were the boilermaker back then when I left da job as rapping, I also went under Eric gods son, when I found da church.

Superfly mocked me, he go to hell.

Baltimora left after Trash Talk got taken off.

Do you see scott, baltimora etc on any other forums?

D4's hero is Chris Was that article about Pacman by any chance, mate?

Nah I used to talk to Balti a fair bit through PM, he left because he felt the Boxing section was overmoderated and he wasn't having fun on it anymore, he doesn't come on anymore, i don't really visit any other forums, they're all a bit cringeworthy, most comments are similar to those you find on Youtube of people really having a terrible understanding of Boxing

2 coxy - for his sheer vitriolic unfettered honesty.

Should be PM, keep saying it but only a matter of time until the petition happens

Why do you need to be Pm - I thought you was Jesus

Well he can't do any worse than that clown in office now. Not even coxy.

You should keep your inane off-topic ramblings to PM, then I wouldn't have to give you this warning.

He left because he was banned. He kept threatening to leave of his own accord, only to return with the same offensive guff. He burnt his bridges.

In a cruel twist of fate, Fists, it turns out that it wasn't the real D4 who said that! I'm sure you can imagine my disappointment when I found out. Thought I'd actually achieved something worthwhile for a moment or two there!

See above ^ ^ ^

Office clown... Accused of being Jesus who was just make believe by a bunch of drunkards...

Hurtful stuff

Coxy - I hardly think you're in any position to call anyone make believe

As I said yesterday, the Rugby boards are full of content deemed inappropriate here. Perhaps if the boxing board was given the same leniency as they receive it would be a less sterile than it has become.

Biggest beef: Mods revelling in their banning record.

Thats hardly fair - Apart from heading of trouble at the start with race, religion etc the mods have kept fairly out of the way for quite a while

I hear you brother, but unfortunately our little experiment with the Trash Talk section showed that people do not know where to draw the line.

The reduced content on the boards (posters and postings) is probably as much to do with the reduced moderation as it is anything else.

No problems with the current team.

I've been banned twice, now I'm back. Fists I'm getting another chance aren't I ?

Ban that Superfly, I cradled him as a young pup on the old 606 we used to hang out together me Windy and Jimmy swapping our vast knowledge with one another and Super enjoyed it.

Now well he come too big for his boots, but I'll turn da other cheek

I assume you are including yourself in that, Union?

Anyway, I think the current team actually do a very good job and I don't necessarily agree with seany on this one. It is better since Adam started delegating and not trying to moderate this section himself. He was the very definition of heavy handed moderating.

I was one of the worst mate, can't believe they made me a moderator to be honest.

What happened to Oxring?

I had a lot of love for him. Awesome vocabulary and really intelligent guy. Knew his boxing as well.

But my god, he was a shocking moderator.

The true definition of poacher turned gamekeeper.

In hindsight, Windy probably made a mistake naming it 'Trash' talk. It kind of invited trouble.

My memory isn't what it was but I'm fairly sure that never happened.

Medical student in his exam period haven't seen him since. probably got picked up straight away by whichever field he was in

Oxring loved banning me. Never got over being duped by Razzaq.

Ox was terrific. I said he used weaponised English when debating sometimes. Awesome poster and an even better guy. I for one miss him. Plus he was as even as you can get. Nothing heavy handed about him.

I hated John da chef the mother effing parasite,

Trying to mimick me, I'm in mimickable.

Super I'm willing to give you another chance sir. Welcome back in da cat's team.

he was a plum. In my humble opinion.

azania wrote:Ox was terrific. I said he used weaponised English when debating sometimes. Awesome poster and an even better guy. I for one miss him. Plus he was as even as you can get. Nothing heavy handed about him.

He was a great guy, just a rubbish moderator.

I can't remember who it was, but Oxy really patronised him for having the temerity to vote for Lennox Lewis as the greatest European fighter of all time. I didn't agree with that sentiment myself, but Oxy's dismissal of him was dreadful for a moderator. He basically ragged him out for not spending time studying the greats. That attitude, for a moderator, isn't very conducive to building an inclusive forum.

Anyway, what do you know about moderating, Az. You got the tin tack from your role early on.....

was Azania the 1st mod guy who kept coming back to 606 to poach members? i need to cut down on the drink, I used to have the memory of an elephant.

Oxford medical grad (who probs got a 1st) = $$$$$$$

Haha yeh that was easily the worst appointment ever!! Who was it that really kicked off about it and not getting it themselves? Was it Ghosty??

Yep, Ghosty wanted the job originally but I think Az got there first.

They haven't let it get to them though. Amazing how they have stayed the best of friends through it all.

Underwhelming is not the same as understatement

I agree that Oxring is a loss. We clashed slightly at the start of 606v2 (I took a wee bit of exception to his telling me that I was "discrediting" myself as a boxing poster when I suggested that Roy Jones had a better win column than Jimmy Wilde), but after a while I came to apprecite him a lot more once he'd settled down a bit. It's a shame he doesn't still post as his contributions were damn good in general. Hopefully he'll pop back in at some point.

Aye, he had a way of rubbing people up the wrong way did Oxy. It was always as a result of his belief and passion for the sport though which makes it an easily forgivable trait. I remember him nearly imploding when debating with manos about the merits of Tancy Lee. Great stuff.

He has a point though, Chris. Anyone who rates Jones Jr win column as better than Wilde's clearly knows very little about the game.....

Rub my face in it, why don't you. I said that I took exception to it, not that he was wrong!

Ghosty went mental

Seem to remember D4 standing for election as well. I refrained.

I'm sure you remember a lot about him. He had you on a piece of string after all.

It was like human bear baiting watching him play you like a piano.

Oxy was a bit of a patronising but hole... Sure he's a good guy what with him being a soooper doooper Oxford grad though.

It always amazes me how successful people on the internet are. My annual salary last year was 1.5 million. What are the chances.

About 1.5 million to 1

What are the rates for a jigalow these days?

Oxy told me off once because I said Lennox Lewis was the best boxer we'd had from the UK or something along those lines.

He went a little far if I'm honest. Didn't like the guy, pompous snob.

Still managed to get rid of him though.

I think the forum should have an amnesty and invite all banned members back.

No you didn't. I believe Windy got rid of him for constantly spamming the boards with his Pacquiao obsession. Nothing to do with your childlike whinging. Don't flatter yourself, flower.

D4 had your number.
