TOW Temporary FORUM and updates

[SBR_John]

TOW is welcome to give updates here. TOW readers may also feel free to use this thread as their own.

Please guys, lets have class and avoid any TOW bashing in this thread.

[SwampyJ]

Class move.

Why has TOW been down so long? Was this planned?
I enjoy both forums very much.

[SwampyJ]

I believe TOW has been down since Tuesday afternoon. It was planned. Some kind of server/software change.

It would be appreciated if Roberto or Jeff could stop by and give us an idea when it'll be back up. Taking the forum offline for upgrading while so many of us have vested interests in NJ and B4As wasn't exactly the best timing.

Hopefully, during this down time TOW has been working to solve these problems with B4A and NJ.

pathetic that they will not even update their forum readers during this time


we know RPM and TOW have both viewed other forums like SBR hundreds of times over the past few days


to bury yours heads in the sand when players you sent to the slaughter are getting slow (no) paid is disgusting

[mvbski]

Will TOW be spreading the virus over here as well

[Patrick McIrish]

It does seem like it would be appropriate from one of them to stop by and give an update or two. I mean right now a lot of people are having problems with TOW books, maybe just a word to let them know they aren't fighting alone would be nice to hear.

[Mudcat]

Hey mvbski. Haven't seen you for awhile (since my Covers days). Welcome to SBR forum (even if this thread is the temporary TOW forum).

[bigboydan]

i've known mvbski for a long time now myself mudcat. he was over at the ogd way back when i use to mod there.

Welcome to the sbrforum mvbski


oh hey DG, i haven't seen you over here in a while. i hope all is well with you

[mvbski]

One post and I'm already a star

Thanks for the welcome

Hopefully they are working out there problums and do not want to waste their time fighting with drunkguy.
BOL to those who are owed money

[SBR_John]

I asked around to find out when their forum would be back up but their mods do not know.

I'll keep trying to get an update. Its very strange they would not post a message at towforum. Even more strange they would allow their forum to be down so long while two of their books are in no pay mode.

[yokspot]

In light of the B4As development I emailed Roberto asking when the forum would be back up. He said, Tuesday at the latest. He also replied very swiftly.

I don;t have that much time to stop by, but I figured this issue was worth stirring up some shit over

[RPM]

sorry, i have not stopped in sooner. i thought i was banned here, and therefore unable to even view threads. thanks for the message.

John,

thanks for offering a thread for us to keep people updated in. classy move.


update on towforum...

the techies ran into problems while transfering data to the new forum software. as many of you know, this was supposed to take around 6 hours, however, with the problems encountered, the techies needed outside help from the forum software providers. this requires making an "appointment" so we are sort of dead in the water until monday(they dont work weekends). we anticipate having the forum back up sometime monday.

as far as bet4aces and nojuice are concerned, we have not stopped working just because the forums are down. i believe there will be some good news very soon.

[Concorde]

The true story is that Roberto flyed to Germany to watch us win our 4th World Cup ...

[chano]

RPM, when you say good news, obviously you know more then we do. Can you give us a anymore info ?

[RPM]

chano,

the situation is still developing, but there is reason to believe that things will be resolved with one of those two books within the next couple days. for now, that's the most im at liberty to say.

[bigboydan]

thanks for the update RPM.

[slash]

Then it must be No Juice, because it can't be bet4aces if there is any truth to this:

"Bet4aces downgraded from 4 to 2 after owners and management confirm that it will require up to two months before they will be able to process all pending payouts."

It's gone a long way beyond that according to the last SBR report. It seems Bet4Aces is now insolvent.

chano,

Considering where things are at present, having one of these books step up and pay off player balances would be great news.

[chano]

Thank you RPM, appreciate your input in this.

[marc]

I might be reading too much into RPM's statement, but I would interpret it as bad news. My impression was that the NJ situation was resolved and payouts would be going out this week. From what RPM is seeing neither book has resolved their issues.

[DamianDunlap]

I dont believe the forums is down to tech problems, i believe there down due to the problems of the rookie project. They dont want alot of bad press on the forum. So they acting like the forum is down. People not dum. I can pay a tech a 100 bucks and have tow back up.

[chano]

No, i dont think they are down due to anything but technical difficulties. Rememeber, they have commitments to other books and that could be much more damaging to them then the damage that the Rookie Project has caused.

[freebie]

looks like the TOW profile of the forum is up.
TOW is so pathetic if they're doing this to prevent bad publicity from rookie crap project.

[chano]

If they are , they will have to face the music sooner or later. So I say NO, they arent. I think most will agree.

[SwampyJ]

I agree Chano. The only way there not going to face the music is by disappearing all together, and I do not see that happening. Reading the other posts in regards to RPM's comments, I am cautiously optimistic that the No Juice situation will be resolved this week because his comments and the statements on the TOW newswire. I am still in disbelief that No Juice has not made any public statement about this situation either thru a forum post or a email to their players. Either one of those would had gone a long way to lessened the frustration towards NoJuice and about the current situation.

SwampyJ

[chano]

I agree, a public statement would go a long way.

[Dead Money]

I am so glad that SBR does not promote/defend shit books.

Very nice gesture by SBR to let the TOW users to use this thread for updates and stuff.

Class act on SBR's behalf.

[paul2650]

I'm a Newbie....today is my first day posting - and i see references to TOW in a lot of threads.

Can someone tell me what TOW is?

Thanks.

[marc]

TOW is another forum, different website. A numbe rof people who post here also post there. Currently the TOW forum is down, but 2 of their advertisers are having financial problems, that is why there is so much discussion going on.
