Should we scrap the "Handicapper Picks" forum

**The General** · 03-21-09, 12:16 PM

Bill, I think it was a fine thing to try, but honestly, seems to be a double dipping that isn't really catching on amounting to much. At this moment, I'd vote to remove.

Thanks

Bill,

The forum isnt a bad idea but if you are gonna make it effective you should only allow players to posts there plays in that forum. So when people start threads in Players Talk(with picks), they should be moved to that forum - NOT JUST LINKED. Isnt that the purpose?

If not, then scrap it along with the service plays forum.

Don't care either way, I never go there

What will InTheHole do for a living now if you scrap it?

Billy,

I suggest renaming it the "Paid Posters" forum and assign jjgold et al as VIP moderators.

That's one way we could go and it could work but we like PT as the catch-all with the board broken down by groups below. But, it looks like posters rather see it by sport than straight picks.

Get rid of it and replace it with a kids forum. seems like alot of people will be in there.

I wouldn't ever use it, personally. I do like the service plays forum, however. There are a few services that I like to track how they moved lines on their respective games.

haven't been there.....

I think most posters are not gonna change their habits, so unless you try the forum out for the avg lifespan of an above avg poster, you won't see much posting there.... but in 1 year, it might

Replace it with a cricket forum. We can talk about Manny being the next big cricket player.

Move all picks from players talk to the new forum asap and it will be fine.

I agree with all of that.

Had no idea it even existed. if it's not in Players Talk I don't give a flying phuck.

**daggerkobe** · 03-22-09, 01:20 PM

Better idea.......

Scrap the Think Tank.
