You can't really call MMA figters a representative group of people. So I wouldn't jump to conclusions based on merely these people.

Having said that, Samoa has the 6th highest rate of obesity in the world. (With 80.4% of Samoans aged 15 or older being overweight.) Only a few other south pacific countries have a higher obesity rate. So I guess that seeing some overweight Samoans shouldn't be that surprising.

Don't care 'bout wrestling, but I still take offence to this, being a half-cast Samoan myself.
Not the kind of thread I want to see when I pop in on one of my rare visits.

You're going to get fat if you continue to bug us on your computer all day.

(IM NOT TRYING TO BE RACIST)

The exact problem of these kinda threads is, that you are trying to be racist, and turn us all into racists.

How about you try to post a thread about something you like for a change? Not about something you hate, not about something you're wondering and ask why, but just simply something that you like. It's probably best to not post about wrestling though, cause people here can't seem to appreciate others' interest, if they themselves aren't interested in it.

It's not that we're uninterested, Skull, it's because he posts so many threads about wrestling that gets us on edge.

What Skorn says is true. I personally dislike wrestling, but I don't mind if others want to talk about it. If a large part of the board is about wrestling than there just are not as many interesting topics being talked about anymore. So then I do mind.

If you're not interested in the topic, you can always stay out. If some people post threads about wrestling, it doesn't anyhow effect the amount of other topics being posted. If other topics are being posted less, you can find the fault in something else, such as laziness, rather than in the person who posts threads that don't interest you. What you're basically saying is that if I, for example, posted dozens of development threads, asking different questions that you aren't interested in and don't wish to read, it would mean that the amount of other topics decreased. That's certainly not the case. If anything, Predator's at least posting threads. No matter if people like them or not, but the fact is that his posts increase the forum activity, just like all of our posts.

And somehow I feel certain people would flame Predator no matter what his topics were.

I agree. Thread posting isn't really a zero sum game, where if one person wins another loses. Front page space is, but the forum is slow enough that that isn't really a problem. Maybe we should have a day where everyone posts at least one thread about a topic that interests them!

This forum doesn't really have the sub-forums other forums have. All threads are lumped together on a large board with a sometimes appropriate symbol next to it and a title that is usually completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. (Especially considering the amount of off-topicness that this board traditionally has had.) The only exceptions to this rule are development topics and file discussions.

In short: I have to read a thread to know if it is interesting. At which point I already have had to read it. That's a large part of the reason people hate senseless threads with many posts.

And it isn't like we suddenly have more people, or that people have more time to read everything. Once they're busy discussing in one thread they aren't going to post yet another thread because they haven't reached their monthly thread count yet.

Skull, let me ask you this. Why are you always defending Predator? You say he shouldn't be flamed? Yeah, a guy with the mentality of a 5 year old who orgasms at the sight of Batista, talks about nothing but racist topics, wrestling, America sucking, Samoans being fat slobs, and never giving a dang about any feedback given to him gives us no reason to bite back. Perfect logic.

It's times like this when I wish you and Pred would be banned, Skull. I just tire of this, and I can't believe you can't see how racist he is constantly. Don't defend someone if they are trying to piss everyone off. Try to help us for a change, not yourself.

Also, @Duckhater - Predator gets flamed for no reason? I'm sorry, but look at the facts before you post again.

You're right about him being cancer, seeing as how we're all cancer. Always fighting to survive, not thinking twice about peace. How about instead of caps-locking your anger on people, you just ignore them? Keep the peace brother. No need for insults and rivalries when you can just ignore the other and let other people enjoy themselves. Does fighting really make you feel better about yourself? Does it mean so much to you that you'll ruin other peoples fun just to do it? Just chill out and things will all work out. Seriously guys, don't take this lightly. Just try it. And if you're really wanting to fight each other, do it through private message so we don't have to see the negativity.
