      I noticed that too. I imagine if it not up today, then it will not be up till next week.

        Not to make light of the situation, but great post by Taco. Hillarious man.

          We were told it was for a software/server change. I starting to think they hired someone to do it and they did not have a clue what they were doing. It has also been suggested by some posters in this thread that TOW took it down due to No Juice and Bet4aces not paying their customers for weeks and he is/was catching alot grief over promoting them. Who knows what the truth is.

            I am just curious because as I have stated on here once before I own several sites and a forum and I have had to switch servers and it took us like 36 hours.

            I hate to say that because I don't believe that TOW would take all of their stuff down just because of the Rookie Project failure.

            But their silence is suspect.

            That is why I, and everyone I work with on the net use SBR as the definitive source for watchdog info.

              Maybe the same techies that upgraded Betonstars site are also doing theofflinewire.

              It makes no sense to have it down on purpose. Wouldn't advertisers want a refund ?

                If I was an advertiser, I would want some kind of refund.

                      No, you have it all wrong

                      the delay is due to the fact that Roberto thought RPM could retype the threads in at 50 words/minute, but he is actually much slower.

                      He has a couple hundred more threads to enter into the new software, and then it will be ready to go back online

                        I don't know what to think ! Roberto been pretty cool with me, I went to his Miami party, he personally drove me to Fort Lauderdale airport, paid for airfare for me attend, fancy hotel, etc.

                        This offline stuff makes no sense to me, I feel for those owed... I've been there.

                          Did this guy charlie from BEt4Aces just say this?

                          "The Bottom line is that we are not paying so therefore should be considered a SCAM?" Maybe so, according to SBR outlines.....


                          Ummmm wow!! That sounds like in awsome slogan! That is so much better then " Sweat the game not the payout" LMFAO

                          Im not as into the offshore industry as most you guys, I mostly use locals, but these things are disgusting! The fact that these places screw people over and then expect them to be patient and understanding.

                          It's stories like these that are the reasons the oninel sportsbooks I will use online are The Greek and BEtJamacia. Now I know there are other good one's too but have used these guys over 5 years and never once had one problem and thats the way I like it. Sure you might not get huge juicy bonuses or big promotions but you do get what matters... your money when you want it!

                            This is becoming about as tedious as the wait for payment from the TOW scambooks.

                            The only hope I can see to get payment from Bet4aces & Nojuice looks like from other ( non sponsoring ). I'm not sure it's even worth Roberto bothering to reopen his forum - he's already lost too much credability.

                              Dear Doug, In many instances you bash Tow, and now you say how good he was to you in Miami. Why say anything negative about someone that has been good to you? I dont get it

                                To present both sides. I've reccomended Nojuice to a few folks ( with the caution to keep it small) because of TOW, never would have found them without TOW.

                                Some think Bert is a pure conman now, I say he isn't.

                                  Question Doug? Has SBR ever flown you to Miami and treated you like royalty? What do you really think of Roberto, you say you met him in Miami. Give us your feelings of this man who you say people now think is a conman?

                                    I do not know TOW. He could be great guy or a conman for all I know. However, I have not seen or heard of him posting any info regarding No Juice, Bet4aces, or the TOW forum anywhere. With him being silent, if that is the case, it has led to a lot of speculation for his abscence. I do not know what to think anymore. Yesterday, I was finally able to get No Juice to respond to their Live chat for the first time in a week. All the info I got from them was the same old song and dance: "I do not know when we will resume payouts."

                                      I just had a chat with nojuice live representative and he/she said that the withdrawals should be processed next week. That is what their manager told them supposingly

                                        Well, you got more info out of them then I did. Let's hope they are telling the truth.

                                            I think he isn't trying to intentionally promote books he knows are certain scams, but has made bad decisions on a few of these with his advertising revenue perhaps causing some to be rated too high. However most other forums ( like RX,EOG,etc.) are guilty of the same.

                                            No John hasn't given me any free trips.Roberto has helped many in disputes ( esp. Pan-am) but now has a situation where his site led many to being owed.

                                            The site downtime is very odd. The potential exists for losing both advertisers and posters. Hopefully he comes to RX Bash Aug 18-19th in Vegas, as he did last year.

                                            I don't know what his plans for the future of TOW are, but he should be more active in updating things for those affected, IMO.

                                            Books that offer 100% bonuses on small deposits are not strong books and rarely survive. Roberto has stated he will no longer take on a book with under two years in business.

                                                tow moved forum software , that means they had to move post and all, it could have taken that long. they running vbulletin now, I wish OGD would run vbulletin.
                                                When i went from ezboard to vbulletin it took the vbulletin about a week to move all the post over.
                                                The truth will set you free

                                                    When i went from ezboard to vbulletin it took the vbulletin about a week to move all the post over.
                                                    Good to see Roberto finally went with vbulletin. Myself and Dan, for the few months we worked at TOW last year, kept telling Rob to make the switch. Good to see he did. Much better software.

                                                        Looks like somebody fiddled and broke something, probably tried to install a new module/tweak into VBulletin that requires Zend

                                                            I asked about No Juice yesterday afternoon at the new forum. As of this morning, the only response I got was from other people who are owed money by No Juice. We have not received any info from TOW. Another day of being ignored. Now the forum is down again. Who knows if we will ever get an answer.
