This is super great ... fun, BUT, it makes me want the guy who put this together... ON THE MATS! thanks...

OMG! For a moment, I thought the Walmart of the wrestling world had swallowed up yet another good grappling location!!

Hi. Will be in Stuttgart on the 13th April.
Munich on the 18th

This better be an April Fool's Day joke.

Is it sad to admit that I cried a little before I realized that this was an April Fool's joke?

Very, actually.

I only cried now because you took that statement seriously.

Happy April fools !

Joking right!?!?!

I hope not!

This might be the funniest April fools I've seen in a while

Yeah, total genius! That initial panic; and now I can't stop giggling.... Those endless moustaches!

I love that twisted sense of humor :)

So, who's the guy that's plastered everywhere?

I think it's one of the globalfright admins, or a lookalike.

Hah. All in good fun.

He looks like the handler rapist in the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy

Whatever you do NEVER say anything, EVER to a global fight administrator...

haha funny lets hope the guy from globalfight is ok with you using his picture after all global does say it owns the copyright to all photos uploaded to their site

That would be the worst news ever.... I hate globalfight...

Following my comment about GLOBALFIGHT my account there was deleted because I "bashed them online" have you guys ever heard of anything like that outside North Korea??? It's ok though because I have no desire to use their site any longer! Long live meetfighters.com!!!! Om foto's in de galerijen te zien moet je inloggen.

I actually wrote "I hate globalfight" which apparently triggered some inane reaction from them: they call this "venom"...

This is far from unheard of.

In their defense, it is not a realistic expectation for them to continue to love you after you declaring your hate like that. Saying "Hey if you dislike our site so much then why would you continue using it", while shortsighted and knee-jerk, is not entirely unreasonable.

I half by used the site on over two years and just tried to log in as I wanted to get some pics back... Well here's an extract from their latest correspondence... " Someday when you grow up and decide to be a man and apologize for being a
little bitch give us a call.
"

Yes, same thing happened to me. I guess this is not a free country. No great loss...good riddance. The Kestrel told me he got nothing of bashing from the comments I posted at the onset. But it doesn't take much of anything to ruffle GF's admin. Instead of putting his energy into pleasing his customers, I am sure he spent too many hours going after them if they said anything he deemed "bashing."

I must admit i had nit seen your comments at that time, i can understand why they got a little offended now haha!

I used to have a GF profile, but deleted it well over a year ago, i'd much rather support a community than pay for a business (or be so restricted there is no point)

Whose comments? I merely wrote " I hate GF"... Then I wrote them a nice email asking them if they were north-Korean owned since they monitor what is being said online and they called me "a little bitch"... Honestly a business treating their customers like this is a real business!

Least you have a sense of honour Mectise!
Perhaps they should ask themselves why people feel negative about them!

If this is a joke, it is a very bad one.

I couldn't agree more..

Hahahahah I hope this is a joke ;)

Brilliant. I love the donate donate donate donate donate navigation buttons at the top.

Bwahahahahahah well played Admin, well played!!!

Happy April Fools Day!

Oh dear, April fools joke?

April Fools

this is stupid

God, I got the Hickups when I saw this guys face on here..... April Fools THANK GOD!

And about time too.

Yeah, this is probably a joke...

Plus - who knew the Admin was such a devilishly handsome bastard?

Brilliant!
;)

Thanks to Admin for making me spit out my breakfast cerials in a dramatic way...now I have to spend the day redecorating the kitchen. Damn.

This is the most hilarious comment bar none in reaction to the joke. Thanks for making me belly laugh!

You gave me a heart attack! Can I sue the new company?

That's a bit unfortunate just after you'd lost all that weight mate! ;-p

This damn-near panicked me! Glad I'm not alone in the sentiment that Globalfight is one of THE WORST entities ever created, akin to certain political parties I will not mention (too bad THEY'RE not an April Fools joke!). Yeah. I have a legacy profile there, but only to track existing buddies...they will never have my support. This site is the Cadillac of all Web sites period. I agree this, if a joke, is probably in bad taste, but it surely brings out the truth!

Someone made a comment earlier about Global Fight Admins, I will say one of them ripped me off for a years membership than banned me from the site when I asked for a refund, I would have to say to anyone reading this, not to give them any money for their premium membership as they could do the same to you. If this was not an April Fools Joke, I would delete my profile immediately.

GlobalFRight wouldn't let you see other incoming messages (if indeed you could even get any there...who the hell wants to pay to even message someone?). But I agree - I would sooner delete here than put up with BS. Oh please say it isn't so! LOL

Lol classic XD

What in the 7 hells is going on? And who is this old fart on everyone's display pictures?

If that pic is actually the Globalfight Admin, then PERFECT PAYBACK!! A very effective commentary on how that site steals personal photos for their own use, among their many underhanded practices.

Hum just an issue to report : All members, and all pics are the same ...
????

Scared me until changed calendar page. Why? Because I remember what happened to gay duh com years ago when it changed hands–yuccckkkkkk.

PS Might as well put in a plug here since everyone seems to be opening this ---looking for guys to wrestle here in the Arlington VA area–check my profile – fully –Cheers.

OMG, Initial thought: Well, this was good while it lasted... this site is going to hell ;)
After catching my breath: Please keep up the good work and stay Meetfighters.com or i'll have to tap you multiple times until you agree ;) !

hahaha ... hey i shaved my porno mustache this morning :P

I almost die when I open the site today! Please, I am still near death. ANNOUNCE this is a joke! Ja ja ja!

Lame,unasked-for hoax..

Don't worry man. It'll be gone by tomorrow. At least the joke hasn't gone as far as having a paywall for sending messages.

Great April Fool - haha! My heart also sank for a few seconds. Brilliant!

Wow. What a fool joke!

People run away from Global and now coming to destroy MEETFIGHTERS???

We r going to have to move to BEARHUGGER

My god ! I swear my heart just dropped!.... Lol , this is so funny !.... Lol brilliant in fact !

Please don't give me a heart attack!
Good job I remembered it's April fool's day.

Wow! Brilliant!

Note.

People run away from GlobalFight. And today was announced that this 100 better site will b run by the stupid Global??? This site will be SHIT as Global.

In case that happens there is BEARHUGGERS.NET if this site becomes shit!

So glad this is a joke and that there are people as evil as I am out there.

And the language options - or lack of (US English x 20) - well played!

So... that means you are going to start selling your users photos without their permission too? Well played.

Wow, you got me for a few seconds! Nicely done.

GlobalShit?? please be April fools!!

I'm searching for the words to describe how funny this is.

That was a terrifying 10 seconds for me until I realized what day it was. Well played lol.

This is an April fool' joke, isn't it?

Got me for about a half a min. I do remember when this did happen to a site called Headlock Wrestling years ago.

Sure doesnt look like a joke to me. This site now LOOKS like Global. I actually dont have a problem with either site, have met lots of great wrestlers on both. If this is true then my only issue is the choice of Name, both called Global just makes things confusing.

When will it go back to normal? This is hurting my eyes!

Two possibilities:
This is an April Fool's joke and I'll get a good laugh out of it. OR
It's not an April Fool's joke and I will just hang up my trunks and never wrestle again.

Hilarious. Best April Fools joke ever.

"Best April Fools joke ever. "

Pretty low bar to clear...

By the way, I don't know if this is a counter-joke from the Globalfight side, but the admin over there sent out this message to (I presume) all its members today:

"Regarding the recent hack of Meetfighters we would like to assure you our data or user passwords have not been compromised by this vicious attack aimed at BOTH our websites.

"We at GlobalFight are constantly fighting off attacks each week and they have only gotten more intense the past few months as with ALL websites in the world.
If ANYONE knows how to contact the admin (or even WHO the admin or owners are at Meetfighters) please have them contact us so we may exchange data on hackers to build up both our defenses. We have been trying without success many times this year during waves of attacks to contact someone at Meetfighters in an attempt to exchange hacker data in efforts to build defenses against these assaults.

"PASSWORD NOTICE! Since many users have the same password on both sites we suggest changing your password on GlobalFight but NOT change it on Meetfighters till they have their site fully back under control as your passwords might still be visible to hackers till they fully have regained admin control."

I replied to this message and told the Globalfight admin that if this was their own idea of a joke it wasn't at all funny. It seems like it must be an attempt at humor, since how would they have known about a "hack" of Meetfighters while also claiming to not know how to contact the admin of Meetfighters? How would they even have found out about the "hack"?

One unfunny joke deserves another, I suppose.

Spot on. It was merely an attempt by Globalfight to undermine meet fighters by suggesting that the site was hacked and all our passwords were visible. Cheap and shoddy.

LMAO after a few seconds and a lot , NO NO NO NO , Not This Site DAMN-IT . I jut new the worst had happened.
YOU got US and good ! Fair enough .
and the hack at global , well , couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of admin. what a bunch of greedy goofs.

Gotta say you put this one 'right in my gut' ...

How would they have found out about the hack?
I´d say just by looking at it;-) Indeed my very first reaction when I saw it was "gosh, they´ve been hacked..."... then I read the important site announcement...

Well played, you got me for - umm - a couple of seconds;-)

Thank gawd it's a joke. I remember when XM Radio and Sirius merged; and both went downhill quicker than the speed of light. Same goes for most mergers which significantly reduce or eliminate competition. All the more reason to make sure this site is financially secure and keeps its current high quality. One way is to wrestle more guys here (hint, hint) and keep it friendly

This is an April Fools joke. The people in charge of global are capitalist fuck shits that charge you just to look at people and post your photos in their advertisements.

One of those rare days when my profile picture appears in the banner at the top of the page, and it's covered by that smug-ugly face.

A great hoax on the members. I made an early comment and left the box ticked to get notified of further posts.I later logged on to find over 70 messages which all had to be read and all had to be deleted.

Good one!

Over 70...I had 92, so I must be more popular than you?! Maybe..... Still it was a nuisance having to delete them all especailly as I had to pervy look at all the pics too!
.
Mmmm...well its after five o' clock now, so must log off to get some lunch!

hahahahahaha I love it! Happy April Fools everyone!

At least I got some messages today–too bad only one had a semblance of a match request [AKA challenge]

If it is an April fool I am so relieved !!! Been feeling really sad since I saw the announcement.
But 10 out of 10 it was so believable especially the photo bit.

...so this is april fool prank? i thought the site was jammed lol

I don't know whether this is a joke but it is a bad one if it is the case.
Reminds of the nightmarish when time when GF was the only option.
Now I hope this is a joke. If not the new owner can forget about my use of the site and forget about any donation from my side..

Some of my guys who started out wrestling w me 10 years ago also came from Re**n, and I have even introduced some daddy-chasing guys from Si***r D***ies to it. Before 'gay' itself self-destructed, I found a few there as well.

But by far, this here site is the best of all the sites to find genuine wrestlers and similar. Good to have competing sites; as it keeps them on their toes to have a better product. [Be funny as hell if all the aforementioned sites are part of one big conglomerate].

Great April fools joke 👍
I do like the new colour scheme, but not my profile picture whoever that is 😉

So funny and def one of the best I have seen for a long long time. Good job admin

Loved the joke.....apparently the guys over at globalfight, not so much. LOL I got this in my email notices from their site:
Regarding the recent hack of Meetfighters we would like to assure you our data or user passwords have not been compromised by this vicious attack aimed at BOTH our websites.

We at GlobalFight are constantly fighting off attacks each week and they have only gotten more intense the past few months as with ALL websites in the world.

We have been trying without success many times this year during waves of attacks to contact someone at Meetfighters in an attempt to exchange hacker data in efforts to build defenses against these assaults.

PASSWORD NOTICE! Since many users have the same password on both sites we suggest changing your password on GlobalFight but NOT change it on Meetfighters till they have their site fully back under control as your passwords might still be visible to hackers till they fully have regained admin control.

This may not be the best feedback page, 'cause the admin may think the feedback itself is an April fool's response. Anyway, I'm glad you took the opportunity to have a bit of fun.

On another note, not related to April fools, I like the old email inbox where multiple messages could be deleted at once.

Yes! Old inbox please.

You are right, this is NOT the feedback page.

But I did implement the stupid multi-delete feature, just because I am a nice person and can be reasoned with. Sometimes.

Oh and by the way, 101 comments on this news post, which is a record! :D

Yes I liked the old email box too for that reason

Yes, I prefer the old email box too.

BEST.
PRANK.
EVER.

Fell hook, line and sinker for it...and man, did my heart sink !

THANK GOD FOR MEETFIGHTERS ! I'm making a donation to you guys RIGHT NOW ! Anyone who can take me on such a radical emotional roller-coaster ride and have me laughing in the end, I want to support forever !

Hope others feel the same way !

Wow I had no idea I was not the only one that panicked with this announcement. I closed my GF account a few years ago and don't intend to come back. I was very glad when I found MF. I'm a contributing member and will continue to do so.

Contributed at the silver level this year...will do so next year at silver---unless the site engenders at least 20 new wrestling encounters during the year and I go GOLD, or 40 encounters and go PLATINUM. It's called "incenting." :) Regardless, it's the best of the five sites which have, over the years, produced some wrestling for me.

Very good Admin, and everyone involved but happy it only lasted a day. :-)
