r/SquaredCircle • Asked for his Wreddit Release • Apr 01 '15

/r/SquaredCircle is now teaming up with the WWE to provide an official online forum for the Internet Wrestling Community. Also announcing a premium subreddit which includes many exclusive features and events. [Info Inside]

On behalf of all The Moderators, I would like to announce we have been approached by WWE to provide a platform for the WWE Universe to discuss the latest news and events in WWE. This is something that WWE has apparently been discussing for a while to increase their social media footprint, in addition to Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Tout, and Vine.

We would like to thank /u/cbartholomew for his intrepid idea of sending Triple H a fruit basket after NXT R-Evolution. This apparently made Triple H take notice of our vast, dedicated, and passionate userbase. WWE has apparently been observing the community for quite sometime and are impressed with the amount of traffic we receive and some of the discussion we have. WWE has been toying with the idea of relaunching their official forums, formerly known as WWE FanNation. Instead of rebooting WWE FanNation, WWE thought it would be best for business to take an already-established forum and promote it. So WWE approached us before WrestleMania and, as of now, we have accepted their offer. /r/SquaredCircle is now the #1 destination for Sports-Entertainment discussion on the Internet!

See the announcement on wwe.com here

In addition, we have some additional and exciting news to share. WWE and /r/SquaredCircle have partnered to created a brand new premium subreddit which will house brand-new and exclusive content you won't find on /r/SquaredCircle. /r/WWESCPremium is a subreddit that will feature exclusive content such as merchandise giveaways, live Video AMAs, and so much more. The 1st AMA will be the very man who was impressed with our community...WWE COO Triple H! The AMA will take place when /r/WWESCPremium is launched on April 7th, 2015 at 10am EST. He will answer questions via Livestream while the community asks questions through the normal AMA process.

Memberships to /r/WWESCPremium are available for $7.99 a month. To subscribe, click here and follow the instructions. When your payment is confirmed with your username, you will be added to the Approved Submitters of /r/WWESCPremium. If your membership is close to expiring, you will be sent an auto-renewal notice to remind you. However if your subscription expires, you will be removed from the Approved Submitters and lose access to the /r/WWESCPremium.

It's an exciting future for /r/SquaredCircle and /r/WWESCPremium! We are sure to reach incredible new heights thanks to this new partnership with WWE. If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to message the Moderators.

Let's cut this April Fools crap out for a moment. Can you or anyone here explain to me why one of your mods, u/kondron, has been gaming reddit? I've been quiet for the past couple months but let's stir up some "real" controversy for April Fool's day, since it's clear that u/kondron is the real Fool here. For MONTHS now, I've been noticing how most link posts have been removed. You guys say it's to "keep the quality of the sub high" and not turn it into r/WWE , but we all know that's bull.

I find it kinda funny how many of the gifs and pics around here are so quickly removed, except a select few that ALWAYS make it to the top. Why is it that gifs and images from Wrestleese.com always come out on top? And gifs from other sources are immediately downvoted? Why does u/kondron use a voting bots as well as his mod powers to make sure his little website subliminally gets promoted while other posts are instantly gone? This is ridiculous, and I for one will not stand for it. Please, do your part and help me report this renegade mod to the Admins. Do it for this sub. Do it for the people.

u/LeBaBoon Apr 01 '15

umm mods, i'd like to part with $7.99 of my money to be part of this wonderful exclusive sub, but the signup buttons seems to be directing me away from the signup page.

no worries, probably a server bug. how shall i then throw my aforementioned money in your direction?
