Lou feels that Bigbill is a far superior poster compared to you.
Lou encourages you to "take notes" from Bigbill to possibly help you to become not quite so annoying and as much of a Chinese douchebag as you currently are.
Look at it this way, pal....at least Lou was thinking about you!

Contributing to these sorts of threads used to require a lot more contemplation; in the end it was rather depressing to think of how many posters I wanted to name but haven't posted here in years.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
It was a joke. Much like Lou's attempt to fill in for JJ..
Sucks to think of all the great posters who've left. Only a handful good ones left....Keyboarding definitely one, Rogue you're another...
This place is a complete joke these days, shell of its former self.....even down to the sports-book ratings, SBR doesn't even deny the fact anymore ratings have everything to do with how much they're paid...Comment -

We all know who TTO is fuk that punkComment -
Man there's enough good people here to keep this place going. i applaud Lou and opie for getting rid of some of the trash lately.Comment -
Thanks lou
SBR has been a great place to come shoot the shi# with other gamblers, people seem to take everything so serious and its easy to push there buttons
Thanks to Sbr for allowing a "crazy" person like me to still be aroundComment -
This board, this place simply can not be beat.
Thanks Opie for the shout out, I can't imagine finding a better site anywhere.
I am back home on Friday, my Thanksgiving doesn't start until then. Such is work. But I land Friday, wife is off shopping. I am making my "Pro" donation, and asking Mayor Lou to give it a once over and get me pointing with the big boys.
That BTP contest. What was I missing? That is unbelieveable.
The rest of these sites look/are amateur hour.Comment -
and lou I was poster of the month June 2011Comment -
Well done opie......... didn't say bi or gay delicious, making progress.
The tennis sub forum had some of the better/more knowledgable posters the past year......I just lurk around here so say what you want about me.......Comment -
Oh thank God you were pulling my leg. I'd really come to enjoy posting with you over the last couple months and I was completely crestfallen to see you list those as your underrated posters. It's even better now that Zeta popped in to accept his compliments, only to realize he was getting punked.
I share your dismay at seeing how this place turned out. It's only recently that I realized how invested I've become here, and how many life lessons I was actually able to learn by being a part of this community. It just goes to show how you get what you give in this life, and even the most inconsequential of associations can result in great benefit if you're willing to take them seriously. That was what got me to join SBR in the first place: the unbridled passion of the diverse group of posters back when the forum was at its zenith.
As we approach the eventual demise of this place, I hope everyone with sufficient IQ to draw the conclusion realizes just how destructive and evil unbridled greed is. No other force could've brought this unlikely community to its knees as we witness today, not even apathy and neglect. SBR used to treat us like people even though they didn't have to, and that was what made this place great. Once a path was chosen to turn every poster into a fully-quantifiable source of revenue, the writing was on the wall...
Honestly, even I never realized that it was Willie Bee's pre-internet era sense of social justice that made this place so special, until it was replaced with John's avarice, Bill's neglect and Lou's quest for relevance. Shari was a breath of fresh air, but it was only a matter of time before she ran out of fingers to stick in the dike. I'm sure there were other bright spots I'm forgetting, but my disgust at what we're left with now (that's right Opie, looking straight at you) won't let me recall them at the moment.
For those who are still reading, I beg you to take your posting a little more seriously. When I first joined, I was an angry, petulant 26 year old just finding his way completely out of the closet. I encountered some amazing people here, but lacked the maturity to appreciate and interact with them as sincerely as I would like to now. A lot of undeserving people (and a few very deserving ones) got caught in the meat grinder of my intense struggle to figure myself out, and it goes without saying that I have some regrets about it all.
That's the most important lesson of all, in my opinion: if you're not taking your posting seriously enough to have some sincere regrets about some of it, then you're truly just wasting the precious moments of your life here. Call it a diversion if you want, or harmless entertainment, but those are just covers for what you know is pure disrespect for how important each of you could be to the world if you were willing to try a little harder (now I'm looking at you, Loshak).
The bonds of society are crumbling in real life as noticeably as they are here, all because nobody is willing to believe that they could possibly make a difference. Don't buy it, because it's not at all true. Even if all you do is grow as a human being, you've changed the world, but it only happens when you stop treating it like a game. You have to care. That's why I'll be here until the lights go out, because I've spent too many years honestly caring about it all and its effect on me to just walk away. I wish I had more people here to share those sentiments with...Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -

BigDeem, solid handicapper and takes a lot of shit from posters but doesn't back down
Keyboard, very intelligent and thinks outside the box
4lenghtsclear, use to post alot b4, prolly the most intelligent mathmatician on the board.Comment -
Lou I miss your picks in tennis. When are you going start posting again there. Yisman is good people, but don't see him post much. Dudley has been pretty good as of late. I miss baskets because I always wonder how you can make every thread racist. You could be talking about swimming and somehow baskets would turn it into a racist post. I like big bill if he could just put 5 words together that make a sentence: I really think he is dac viet. Lots of good people in soccer forum. Str is a fantastic poster who knows all about horses. I never see damio anymore since roxy left, but if anyone can make 3 word posts funny its himComment -
Tons of great posters mentioned. Though for underrated there's one that far and away deserves the nod: Yisman. Quality, quantity, and an all-round great presence be it on the forum or in the poker room.Comment -
how is yisman underrated?
guy has more fukkin badges than general pattonComment -
Rogiee is back!!
we missed you pal

Thanks but I've realized tennis requires far too much time. I've obviously got more important matters to tend to now, like looking over my McDonalds stock. I have all the respect in the world for the posters that have been the lifeblood of the subforum. I'm also sure by now that there must be at least one other automatic fade, so my presence is truly not needed. I would like though to be remembered for posting the play of Federer to win Roland Garros (his first and only as it were) pre-tournament; at juicy odds that dropped considerably upon closing.

I agree with whoever said Paranoid Android. Haven't seen many of his posts, but the few I have seen have involved curse-ridden tirades burying a few clown posters. Thoroughly enjoyable. Plus a cool Radiohead reference.Comment
