Martial arts, at its core, is a vast landscape of traditions, philosophies, and techniques—each with its own identity and purpose. It is a journey of discipline, self-discovery, and often a way of life. Mixed martial arts, by contrast, is a competitive rule set—a framework for testing and blending skills under a unified set of regulations.\n\nWhen we say someone is training in mixed martial arts, are they practicing a martial art, or are they preparing for competition under a specific system of rules? You could argue that mixed martial arts is not a martial art in itself but a testing ground, a stage where martial artists meet. You can train in the martial arts—Karate, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and more—and compete under the rules of mixed martial arts. This distinction doesn’t diminish the value of either; it simply invites us to see them for what they are. What do you think—does this distinction matter, or is it all part of the same evolving journey?', '_md_user_133 _md_content_thread _md_node_54 _md_thread_2498 _md_thread_type_discussion', 133, 1735191571, 2498),

Tonight, we’ll cover important topics and ideas I’ve outlined, and we’ll collaborate to find common ground and align on the best path forward.\n\n[B]First, a heartfelt thank you.[/B]\n\nAs we close out 2024, I find myself reflecting on the incredible progress we’ve made. When I created this forum just two months ago, I never imagined it would grow this quickly. With over [B]2,500 threads[/B] and [B]12,000 posts[/B], we’ve achieved so much in such a short time. This is only possible because of the dedication, hard work, and passion of our staff and members.\n\n[LIST]\n[*][B][USER=2]@Nomad[/USER] [/B]: Thank you for your unwavering support in developing and growing SWC. From late-night planning sessions to execution, your hard work has been vital to our success.\n[*][B][USER=386]@Aragon Burner[/USER] [/B]: Your dedication and contributions have been outstanding.

We deeply appreciate everything you’ve done.\n[*][USER=162]@ZachJ[/USER]  When he finally decided it was time to come home and did it has been a blessing as he has stepped up and fit into the role nicely. We do have something in the cards for you. We appreciate you.\n[*][B][USER=145]@ArmyWife09[/USER] [/B]: Thank you for always stepping up, whether it’s welcoming new members, flagging spam, or helping with posts. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and we have exciting plans for your future contributions.\n[*][B][USER=132]@METALGOD[/USER] [/B]: Having been with us since 2007 and the original SWC, your loyalty and history with this forum are invaluable. Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey.\n[*][B][USER=26]@Hulk[/USER] [/B] Your work and support have been essential to our progress. I’m looking forward to achieving even greater things together in the long run.\n[*][B][USER=131]@Sully©[/USER] [/B]: I saved the best for last. What can I say that hasn’t been said already? We go way back—to 2009 and the first SWC forum, Sportstalk V1 on ProBoards. Through every iteration, every challenge, and every success, you’ve been by my side. Sharing this journey with you as my co-owner makes this success even more meaningful. Thank you for your incredible dedication and friendship.\n[/LIST]\n[B]Looking forward to 2025[/B]\n\nThis is going to be the year we focus on [B]SEO and monetization.[/B] Every post, every initiative, and every effort must reflect quality as we push SWC to the next level. Here are the key points for tonight’s discussion:\n\n[LIST=1]\n[*][B]Staying competitive[/B]: To remain ahead of forums like Off Topic, Discussion Hub, and Chatosour, I propose creating a [B]webmaster and marketplace section[/B] similar to FP. This will attract new audiences and boost activity.\n[*][B]Expanding the betting department[/B]: Adding sports like baseball and basketball will help diversify our content and appeal to a broader audience.\n[*][B]Live sports ticker[/B]: A live sports ticker is a feature we need to prioritize. I’ve received an offer for a $400 add-on, but if anyone knows a coder or developer who can create this for a better price, let’s explore those options.\n[*][B]Clear role distribution[/B]: To improve efficiency and prevent burnout, we need to [B]split roles between moderators and community managers.[/B] Leaders and managers should assign specific tasks to ensure steady progress.\n[*][B]Monetization meeting[/B]: I have an exciting meeting scheduled on [B]January 2[/B] with a company that provides monetization tools used by major brands. This could open significant opportunities for SWC.\n[*][B]Finalizing events and shop[/B]: We need to close out the ongoing events and finish adding features and items to the shop. These updates are key to improving engagement and giving our members more value.\n[*][B]Consistent contests[/B]: Contests like Staff of the Month and Member of the Month must be launched consistently. This will be managed by the [B]Community Manager Leader and their team[/B], ensuring regular engagement and recognition.\n[*][B]Acquiring more forums and optimizing roles[/B]: In 2025, I aim to acquire additional forums in our niche to further expand our presence. While I focus on growth and acquisitions, it’s vital that our admins manage top-level operations and ensure that our [B]middle-tier and lower-tier staff[/B] are efficiently organized to handle day-to-day tasks.\n[/LIST]\n[B]A personal note[/B]\n\nI’m so proud of what we’ve built together. This forum, which was just a dream two months ago, has now become a thriving community. Seeing all of you work so hard and support this vision has been a dream come true for me. Together, we are unstoppable.[B][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] Going Forward We will have Weekly Staff meetings on Sunday as suggested by [USER=2]@Nomad[/USER] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]\n\nThank you to all my staff and every single member.

('thread', 2720, 'The Rise and Fall of Gable Steveson: WWE\'s Biggest Bust?', 'This is the story of one of pro wrestling’s most infamous busts, and how a highly touted prospect went from Olympic glory to obscurity in just a few years. Let’s dive into the rollercoaster journey of Gable Steveson—a tale of missed opportunities, fan backlash, and WWE’s evolving recruitment strategy.\n\n[HEADING=2]WWE’s Obsession with Legit Athletes[/HEADING]\nWWE, being the largest and most recognizable wrestling promotion, is always on the lookout for fresh talent to mold into superstars. In recent years, the focus has shifted from bodybuilding giants to legitimate athletes—those with strong followings, athletic prowess, and the endurance to handle WWE’s grueling schedule.\n\nTo tap into this talent pool, WWE launched the [B]Next In Line (NIL)[/B] program, a talent pipeline that scouts collegiate and professional athletes. This initiative has seen some success, with stars like Bianca Belair and gold medalist Tamyra Mensah-Stock making a splash in the wrestling world. However, not all NIL recruits pan out as expected, and that brings us to Gable Steveson.\n\n[HEADING=2]Enter Gable Steveson[/HEADING]\nFresh off his gold medal win at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Gable Steveson quickly caught WWE’s attention. They signed him to a deal and showcased him at [B]Summerslam 2021[/B], presenting him as one of the company’s next big stars. WWE had high hopes, even signing his brother Robert through the NIL program.\n\nFans immediately compared Steveson to wrestling legend Kurt Angle, another Olympic gold medalist who transitioned seamlessly into the wrestling world. But while Kurt Angle proved to be a natural, Gable Steveson’s journey would take a different turn.\n\n[HEADING=2]A Rocky Start[/HEADING]\nIn October 2021, WWE announced that Steveson had been added to the [B]Raw[/B] roster—a huge move, considering he hadn’t wrestled a single televised match. Normally, new talent hones their craft in [B]NXT[/B], WWE’s developmental brand, before getting called up. Skipping this step raised eyebrows, but WWE was confident Steveson would deliver.\n\nMonths passed, and Steveson made little impact. His in-ring debut was delayed, and his only notable appearance came at [B]WrestleMania 38[/B], where he delivered a suplex to Chad Gable. After that, he disappeared again.\n\n[HEADING=2]NXT Debut – The Great American Bash Disaster[/HEADING]\nIt wasn’t until June 2023 that Steveson finally debuted as an active wrestler in [B]NXT[/B]. He was paired with veteran Baron Corbin in a feud leading up to a match at the [B]Great American Bash[/B].\n\nHowever, this match would prove disastrous. Corbin, who had struggled to connect with fans during his main roster run, was ironically the more popular of the two. During the match, fans began cheering for Corbin—a clear sign that Steveson’s debut wasn’t going as planned.\n\nThe six-minute match ended in a [B]double count-out[/B], and fans were unimpressed with Steveson’s lack of charisma and basic wrestling skills.\n\n[HEADING=2]Backlash and Allegations[/HEADING]\nFollowing his disappointing debut, things only got worse for Steveson. Wrestling legend [B]Booker T[/B], who serves as a commentator and trainer for NXT, publicly criticized him, stating that he wasn’t impressed by Steveson’s performance.\n\nMeanwhile, [B]sexual assault allegations[/B] resurfaced against Steveson. The accusations, which he had never addressed publicly, further tarnished his reputation. The NXT audience turned against him, and his wrestling future became uncertain.\n\n[HEADING=2]The End of the Experiment[/HEADING]\nSteveson’s wrestling career quietly fizzled out. WWE kept him on untelevised live shows, but he never returned to TV. In March 2024, WWE officially released him.\n\n[HEADING=2]Where Are They Now?[/HEADING]\n[LIST]\n[*][B]Gable Steveson[/B] briefly signed with the [B]Buffalo Bills[/B] in the NFL but was released in August 2024 without ever playing a game. His future in sports remains unclear.\n[*][B]Baron Corbin[/B] found a new spark in NXT, teaming with Bron Breakker and enjoying a positive reception from fans. However, he was released from WWE later that year.\n[*][B]Robert Steveson (Damon Kemp)[/B] had a more promising NXT career but was eventually released as well. Many believe he had more natural wrestling ability than his brother.\n[*][B]WWE[/B] has since taken a more cautious approach with NIL recruits. Olympic gold medalist [B]Tamyra Mensah-Stock[/B] is still in developmental, receiving positive feedback from live audiences.\n[/LIST]\n[HEADING=2]Final Thoughts[/HEADING]\nGable Steveson’s story serves as a cautionary tale for WWE. While scouting top athletes has its benefits, pro wrestling requires more than just physical talent. Charisma, storytelling, and fan connection are crucial components that can’t be overlooked.\n\nWhat started as a promising partnership between an Olympic hero and WWE ended as one of the biggest busts in recent wrestling history.', '_md_user_130 _md_content_thread _md_node_33 _md_thread_2720 _md_thread_type_discussion', 130, 1736084950, 2720),

Interest in searches related to getting off Meta platforms soared this week, particularly in the last two days. Google searches for terms like “how to permanently delete facebook” hit a maximum score of 100 — the highest level of interest possible on Google Trends. \n\n[IMG]https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-09-at-10.58.26AM.png?w=680[/IMG][B]IMAGE CREDITS:[/B]GOOGLE TRENDS\nAccording to Google Trends, related searches like “how to delete all photos facebook,” “alternative to facebook,” “how to quit facebook,” “how to delete threads account,” and “how to delete instagram account without logging in” have become [URL=\'https://newsinitiative.withgoogle.com/resources/trainings/fundamentals/google-trends-understanding-the-data/#:~:text=If%20you%20see%20%E2%80%9CBreakout%E2%80%9D%20instead,for%20the%20selected%20time%20frame.\']breakout[/URL]searches, with popularity suddenly increasing by over 5,000% compared to previous periods.\n\nThe explosive growth underscores a recoil against Meta’s decision to roll back protections against hateful speech and inflammatory political content. \n\nMeta had put fact-checking and content moderation policies into place after years of misinformation and violent speech proliferating on its platforms, which have caused real-world harm. Case in point, the attempted insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, which was fueled by coordinated calls for violence on Facebook and Instagram. [URL=\'https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/22/jan-6-capitol-riot-facebook/\']Internal documents revealed[/URL]that Facebook did not act forcefully against the Stop the Steal movement pushed by Trump’s allies, even though the company had identified ways to diminish the spread of political polarization, conspiracy theories, and incitements to violence. \n\n[IMG]https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-09-at-10.59.28AM.png?w=680[/IMG]A “BREAKOUT” MEANS THAT THE SEARCH TERM GREW BY MORE THAN 5000%.[B]IMAGE CREDITS:[/B]GOOGLE TRENDS\nMeta has also admitted that its platforms were used to [URL=\'https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/06/technology/myanmar-facebook.html\']incite violence in Myanmar[/URL], where members of the Burmese military committed genocide against the Rohingya people. \n\nIn 2021, Zuckerberg said that the Meta community doesn’t “want politics and fighting to take over their experience on our services,” leading to the company’s push to scale back political discourse. Last year, the company also stopped proactively recommending political content to users on Instagram and Threads, a move that was controversial among creators and users. Now Meta will [URL=\'https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/07/meta-to-phase-back-in-political-content-on-facebook-instagram-and-threads/\']phase back in political content[/URL] to feeds. \n\nZuckerberg said that the new policies are an attempt to restore free expression on Meta’s platform, parroting comments made by Elon Musk on his platform X. The Meta CEO noted that his platforms would replace third-party fact-checkers with a community notes system akin to X’s, in which users can flag posts they think need more context. \n\n[HEADING=1][B]Searches for alternatives to Meta also rise[/B][/HEADING]\n[IMG]https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-09-at-11.06.03AM.png?w=680[/IMG]SEARCHES FOR BLUESKY ALSO EXPLODE FOLLOWING META’S CONTENT MODERATION AND FACT-CHECKING CHANGES.[B]IMAGE CREDITS:[/B]GOOGLE TRENDS\nOver the same period, Google searches “facebook alternatives” have also skyrocketed, as have searches for [URL=\'https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/03/what-is-bluesky-everything-to-know-about-the-x-competitor/\']Bluesky[/URL]and [URL=\'https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/18/mastodon-sees-a-boost-from-the-x-exodus-too-founder-says/\']Mastodon[/URL], two decentralized social media platforms that have been [URL=\'https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/bluesky-tops-20m-users-narrowing-gap-with-instagram-threads/\']gaining in popularity[/URL] since Elon Musk took over Twitter and renamed it X. \n\n[URL=\'https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/08/mastodon-ceo-calls-metas-moderation-changes-deeply-troubling-warns-users-cross-posting-from-threads/\']Mastodon’s CEO Eugen Rochko spoke out[/URL] this week about Meta’s content moderation changes, calling the changes “a concern to anyone with a conscience.” He also noted that users who cross-post from Threads to Mastodon via Threads’ fediverse-sharing feature will be monitored on Mastodon for hate speech and violation of the platform’s policies.\n\nSource: [URL=\"https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/09/google-searches-for-deleting-facebook-instagram-explode-after-meta-ends-fact-checking/\"]Google searches for deleting Facebook, Instagram explode after Meta ends fact-checking | TechCrunch[/URL]', '_md_user_136 _md_content_thread _md_node_122 _md_thread_2882 _md_thread_type_discussion', 136, 1736483271, 2882),
