Just as the title says, im pretty sure ob's slipped into a depression.

Rarely are people playing anymore. I mean, i started,,, Nov 2005. It was pretty good back then. i remember very clearly cuz i was getting beat like a bitch by dozens upon dozens of different fighters. i didn't see as many alts either.

Then things slowed down, i think it started with Serious Business leaving, Yacoob retiring every few days, HTF retiring, and my dead sexyness that made people leave cuz they couldn't be as perfect as me.

But that was when things were just "slowing down". Our community took a hard hit when Fatny vacated all the belts and retired. People were losing an interest to fight, and eventually left cuz there was no goal to strive for, (belts). people like The Sniper or Goldenboy left for good. Jigsaw, That one dope mexican, Flash, USA, Zab Judah, etc, i don't even see these guys on much either, if on at all.

Then the belts came back!
however, fewer fighters returned to get a shot at glory.

Just when you think things couldn't get any worse, almost all the vets left. HTF, Fatny, Unstoppable, Larry, Tyrant, Nigel Benn, Sugarray, heck, i don't even see Monkeytail coming in to view anymore.

The OB community was left leaderless, and with no one to guide the mob, everyone went into chaos.

You know things are looking pretty bleak when even Reaper isn't playing 17 hours a day anymore, and is only playing 12.

So why do i say this? well, it'll simply go down in OB history, for having the great depression to start off the year of 2008.

Will the prophecy come true? will a legendary fighter return to us and lift this darkness? Can anything be done?

I hope that our community can get back on it's feet and thrive once more.

I never understood these posts. Reminds me of the mma fanatics "boxing is dead" kind of threads.
If people don't wanna play they don't wanna play, it will not change whatever you say, maybe it will even make it worse when new players read this, they'll think what kind of sucky game is this.

The times I've been online there's about 10-15 people online, but it varies throughout the day.

HAHAHAHHAH

When The Great Yacoob stopped making fun of nobs like Reaper, Red Viper, Serious Business, and hundreds of countless other rivals this whole system called Online Boxing collapsed!

Truly yes this is the dark ages

Another thing to note is Yacoobs countless retirements.......Yacoob has always tried to keep the faith that Online Boxing would be filled with thousands of players where each room would have literally at least 100-300 players in each room where we could once again erect the South American, North American, and European titles again. Yacoob's faith in this game will continue which is why Yacoob decided to come back

the show must go on and if it doesn't than all that we've fought for, amused ourselves with, and ejaculated over will have been for nothing and THE GREAT YACOOB MEANS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

The time is now that we must all join hands (after washing them), so that we may look ahead in the future of a glorious and triumphant game called Online Boxing Dot Net

HALLELUJAH YACOOB HAS SPOKEN!!!!

Yacoob or better known as The Great Yacoob is the most controversial fighter in online boxing history. Hailing from The Shaolin Temple in China, Never has anyone had such a large audience of fans both attendants and fighters alike.
The Great Yacoob started out as a simple fighter like most fighting their way to become champion but after a few losses, The Great Yacoob began to unleash his frustration through witty insults, Comedy, and in ring entertainment that caused an uproar in the beginning, but soon made him the most famous and iconic online boxing fighter of all time.
His first feud started with Couture he called Penis Sniff Couture online boxing's male underwear sniffing mascot that spawned his first series of quotes such as, "I JUST MADE YOUR ASS FAMOUS", "NEXT TIME TRAIN HARDER SO THE ASS WHIPPIN LASTS LONGER", "KNOW YOUR PLACE AND EAT YOUR YACOOB FLAKES PART OF A SLAPPING GOOD BREAKFAST", HALELUJAH YACOOB HAS SPOKEN, ALL WORDS ARE FINAL" and many more....The Great Yacoob became an idol, a representative of The Online Boxing World filling seats with his presence and charismatic persona. During times of Online Boxings decline The Great Yacoob was responsible on many occasions to boost ratings, revive the excitement, and utterly save the business countless times in times of economic hardship.
The Great Yacoob's first title victory came by way of Defeating Fernando Vargas for the North American title on Two occassions. The Great Yacoob's championship glory was short lived and soon after he founded a new friendship with a good friend and later rival Serious Business forming the first ever group in the business called the Drama Clique. Never before had any two individuals ever stirred up as much trouble and rivalries as these two. After years of friendship the two fell out and the rivalry lasted over a year of heated battles both suffering losses and prevailing in victories. The Great Yacoob's fame overshadowed Serious Businesse's when he went on to win his first World Championship, the OBW title against Sugar Ray who shortly regained the title back in a rematch and defeated The Great Yacoob in back to back defenses. The Great Yacoob was counted out as a loser but regained his footing when he began reestablishing his prominence through psychological warfare that was only mastered by the one and only Muhammed Ali. The Great Yacoob's sold out events surpassed all the greats including Hall Of Famers. The Great Yacoob's losses outweighed his victories and it seemed his career was at a loss until he defeated Felix Trinidad for the South American title and did the same against TooSmooth. The Great Yacoob had the greatest rivalries of all time with the most fighters of all time ranging from his first Couture, Serious Business, Red Viper whom he fought a record 200 times, Nigel Benn whom he defeated for the OBA Championship, Unstoppable whom he defeated for the OBA Championship, Ken Norton, Black Bear, Ray Johnson, Mikkel (The Owner), Don King Promotions (The President), Squeezed Head, King Chopper, and more. The Great Yacoob was also the founding member and leader of the legendary, The Black Fist Family that was a leauge of fighters competing against the cunning and powerful Pound For Pound Gym headed by Rocky Marciano. Both Gyms defeated one another respectively and the war lasted a long 6 months.
Later The Great Yacoob began to have emotional breakdowns and alcoholic problems and began losing not only fights but his inspiration and confidence in fighting. He retired countless times returning only to lose more fights as his ratings fell but never his respect nor his fans. The Great Yacoob returned again only to dissipate for his longest absence in 2010 and than later returned in 2011.
Upon his return his victories became prominent once again as he rose to the ranks eventually defeating the most dominant fighter A Punching Bag for the OBF Title. It was short lived after he lost his title to the TRPCHE but a month later he reclaimed his glory defeating Poyo562 and having a 21 win streak and 14 defenses thus far The Great Yacoob met his match Mr. Goat in a non title bout losing but came back to defeat him 4 times. Later he suffered a multitude of losses to The Sniper, whom beat him for the OBF Title but lost it 24 hours later to A Punching Bag. The Great Yacoob refusing to quit fought A Punching Bag for the OBF Championship winning it against him making it the second time A Punching Bag handed him the belt. After his showdowns The Great Yacoob made a vow to The Celibate Lifestyle of a Monk and refused to ignite his showboating ego for the entertaining of the masses any longer. Currently fresher than ever and more powerful of a fighter nobody can ever deny the historical, spiritual, hilarious, and emotional journey and career of this young man known as The Great Yacoob.
