Discord for direct messaging/small groups rules, but as someone in a couple of large-ish servers, they suck. I think even if you did specific text channels for companies on a server, it'd just be too busy, especially if you wanna quote something different than the current conversation.

instant live posting PPVs and Dynamites would be fun, tho i think there is a charm in marking out, refreshing, and then seeing 50 new posts with everyone else marking out too.

I legit love going back to old GDTs for moments that ended up being particularly historic (for better or worse) and seeing how people including myself reacted at the time.

If worse comes to worse it's more important to preserve the community we have now as opposed to threads of yore. Does Slack allow threads? Discord is ok for some things but as others have said its basically just a glorified chatroom.

Kind of lovely for him to attack someone for not speaking out about something they weren't aware of.

This clears it up, thanks. I never saw his initial reply before it was deleted. What a poo poo.

Discord is great for some things but forum-like discussion is definitely not one of them.

Sadly forums like this aren't very popular anymore. Someone could make a subreddit just for Fight Island but I hate reddit and I know I'm not alone in that, twitter has its uses but also sucks even worse than discord for forum-esque communication, offsites are usually doomed... :(

Have there been any talks to try to buy the forums out? I'd 100% throw money into that. I mean, I don't post here terribly often, but outside of work stuff, this site accounts for about 80% of what I do on the internet, so I'd hate to lose it.

Hope this plug doesn't come off as inappropriate but check out an app called Guilded. Unfortunately the branding is still very *gamer* but it's the best of both worlds between forums (threads) and discord (roles, mentions, #s). Don't know if people here will want to create an account for that as I'm aware the convenience of Discord is people are already on it, but I just wanted to share a tool I like that sounds like what you're looking for.

Ugh, what a week. A north tx wrestling buddy of mine was named in some tweets about untoward behavior. No accounts of abuse reference him directly but his shoot name was used and I guess lots of local drama is going on.

Now this Lowtax news.... I need my safe internet place. Yall what's going on? I feel like I've been punched in the gut.

quote:

I remember reading a rumor that Sami Callihan covered up a death at his former westling school but now I can't find any info. Did I dream this?

June 4, 2018


It was a few years ago and I remember I was pretty deep in a forum rabbit hole when I read it. Someone involved in the alleged cover up was posting about it. Something about a wrestler dying in the ring from a botched move that they passed off as a prexisting medical condition or something for insurance reasons. Does anyone else remember this or have any more info?

Sami on MySpace after Matt Riot's death:

quote:

Matt...... I feel so dead inside. Your my everything buddy, and you have been my best friend for as long as I can remeber. I dont know what im going to do without you, your where supposed to be my best man at my wedding bro. I cant belive you are gone, I dont wanna say goodbye, this just isnt fair bro. I dont know how im gonna live without you man. You where the one person I could talk to......Your my brother. I love you...................................................................

So it appears Sami killed his best friend (inadvertently I'm guessing) but lied about it to the police and the victim's family

Pinkie is a bad source, also admitted he wasn't there, and does actually lie, like he did today. It's not a victim statement or a witness statement. So far, the only person who was there is someone who was working on taking down Hyde while Pinkie was still working with Hyde in 2018, a friend of the person who died, and very unhappy with Pinkie for hurting the case against Hyde by lumping false stuff in.

(It also wouldn't be sexual abuse, even if it was true.)

Maybe Pinkie literally posted an unrelated lie within the same 20 minute period he posted this stuff. Hang your hat on someone who just now lied and risk hurting actual victims who came out about their own stories.

The tweets are presented in the OP for people to judge the allegations for themselves

If mods want me to create a separate "Sami Callihan allegedly murdered Matt Riot in 2009" thread, I can do that

By saying "this is a lie" without evidence, I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish - the guy you cited didn't witness whatever trauma happened to Matt Riot, just him collapsing, and the girl you cited was only at the hospital after his collapse
