MMA News from other sites go in here.

cowzerp

MMA News, and advertising other mma sites go here from now on, If the article or interview wants to be pasted into a new thread that's all fine-but there is way to much promotion of other sites going on that is been complained about lots and the links can go in here, if stuff is posted on the main page it will be moved here, and if it persists infractions etc will kick in..

If the UFC decide to post there links they will also get moved in here as that's clearly advertising.

This does not stop the likes of "Cage contender" for example having a continuous thread telling there news on fights but but new threads are unnecessary and take away from the good threads already on here. Threads directing traffic away from here are a no go.
Thanks v much

Very good job David.Interesting and informative.You and Gary from mmaireland.org do some really good work but its a pity you guys(and others) have to post in this seperate thread where alot of people won't get to see your hard work. Articles and news on irish mma is not nearly as easy to come(i understand the research and time you guys put into it and just for the love of the sport) by as say the ufc etc but yet all the irish sites are taken off the main thread and put in a thread on its own away from it all????? there is something wrong somewhere. just looking at the main thread and you can see its mostly international mma but this is supposed to be boards. 'ie' ???? no logic to it at all. whatever motivation the moderators have to do this is beyond me. i for one would like to see Irish mma been given priority over overseas mma- not to be 'hidden' away. hell i might even get told off for voicing my opinion but its.....my opinion. but keep up the good work guys and i look forward to all your quality work in the future........and hopefully not hidden away in this thread on its own

Thanks for the kinds words Baz. I agree with what you are saying but I guess it's up to the mods. I am just happy we have a place we can post things like this.

I totally agree.....

This is the very reason that www.fight.ie have stopped posting our news and features on boards. News is News and should be treated as such.

None of us above are trying to take people away from boards.ie (i use it for Cage Contender every day). We are not advertising for commercial gain, we are offering a much requested and needed service to the Irish MMA scene.

Barry it's getting old now, you've said this to me by phone, and in person, this thread was set up to give you a chance to put up stuff that otherwise would have been seen as advertising and deleted with you getting a ban-so thats the motivation, you should be gratefull but instead are whingeing like a spoilt child. If you dont't like it dont post on it.

If all you want to do is let people know the "news" and some random fighter interviewed is not news by the way-then post the article not the link to your webpage straight on the forum, but you dont because that would not increase your web traffic-this allows you to post up your link and tbh if people are interested in what you's offer they will check it out, if there not they wont-i click into MMAIRELAND.ORGS links every week as i'm interested, others wont cause they dont care what Paul cowzer has to say etc...

Paul the fact you do or don't find something interesting does not mean someone else on the forum might have a different view

and also to be very clear, the site traffic from fight.ie hasnt dropped from it stopped putting articles on here. We are still getting over 30,000 hits per month.

Anyway that's my views on it all.

I never said that i did not find it interesting and you have just repeated what i said in different words, some will want to go there and some wont.

im quite sick of trying to help people out and get it flung back in my face.

paul i really disagree with what your saying and how your trying to embarrass people by saying it, im new to mma but i know that you dont do that and its even worse saying it were other people can see it, you are putting people down who are trying to promote irish mma, and i might add you are not pracicing martial arts with that kind of behaviour, im new to boards too and had to really look for irish mma news and found it in this small thread, theres loads of websites covering ufc and mma abroad and you have it on the front page, im a huge fan of reading and hearing interviews of irish mma, get a grip paul and stop calling people names your not only giving the sport bad press but also mixed martial arts
