    It will be interesting to see who SBR sides with...
    The veteran posters who are talking about leaving if the forum isn't cleaned up, or the bubblegum posters making this place look like ass so SBR can raise ad-rates by $200 a month.

    I'm waiting for Fishhead's forum to launch, personally.

        And which "veteran" posters are talking about leaving? Surely not you One...your self-induced lockout lasted less than 24 hours.

          I would prefer SBR not have the point system. If you do have a point system, don't reward based on # of posts. I could go into every thread and put in and rack up a lot of points. Would be better to base it on quality posts (not sure best way to award this) and not have the # of points you have be seen by everyone.

            The program is will be tweaked so there are no worthless power posters. The program is far more than just points for posting. Let's wait and see. Still to come is the SBR Sportsbook, store and SBRPicks site that all work with the points. In the future you can get points just by entering a free poker contest lets say. You can take those points and parlay them into a trip to the Pro Bowl or a new laptop.

            If some of the regulars want to bolt before they see the full program that would be very disappointing. But as my pappy used to say "that'll leave more for the rest of us".

              One thing I have learned from my time here is that no one who leaves is missed as much as they think they will be.

              And those that do leave, usually return.

                  The regulars will bolt because the forum is being taken over by idiot posters. Most of the regulars dont give a shit about earning points to win a t-shirt and keychain. The barreled in posters care about that, and as you can see, those are the guys creating this problem.

                  No respectible posters and/or veterans are going to use the points to get a t-shirt, in my opinion.

                    One, did you just read John's post? Seriously, did you?

                    Or can't you understand it?

                    Clearly the points program has not been fully installed yet. As they see it, the points being awarded were just the starting point, not the end all. Before you proclaim it to be a tshirt hunting exercise, why not wait until they explain it fully?

                    For someone griping about the points system, I notice you are not threatening to leave. Why? We all know the answer, you are not leaving. You know it, everyone here knows it. You will be here bitching and whining about the points, but you will NEVER leave. And in an odd twist of irony completely lost on you, you will be contributing to the increased ad rate revenue hike you bitched about by creating multiple threads each day bitching about the point system.

                          John I will say that the way they are rolling this out is quite flawed. If your goal is to keep people interested and those posters around that have been here for a while then I would suggest rolling everything out at once. For SBR to say "New things are coming...soon soon" you may already lose people by time the new things come out. It really should have been an all or nothing type of thing. As soon as everything was tweaked and ready to go then it should have all been introduced at the same time. The SBR store being the biggest, as you have clowns around here racking up points and they don't even know what for. They don't know how many points equals a teeshirt, a trip, a laptop or anything.

                          In short....you guys better introduce everything that you plan to quickly before everyone is already gone...

                            It took people long enough to figure out the points thing. I think it would have been "system overload" for some people and would have left anyway if they plowed everything out at once. Just my .02

                              It's been overrun by idiots for quite a while now. Chief among the idiots is yourself.

                              Please leave so SBR's poster quality will improve.

                              Honor your word. You said you were leaving. Now leave and quit bitching.

                                          You are possibly right.

                                          These type of projects are very difficult to release all at once. With a sectional release each componet is debugged in a beta-like real environment before its bolted on to the next componet.

                                          Good points on the store and points. Some of that is just good ole forumville drive-in news. It will blow over in a day or two as we find something else to bat around.

                                              Sorry John, I disagree. This won't blow over.

                                              I can picture that it will look worse once the store is released. People will think "only 2,000 more points for a beer koozie, i need to make 10,000 posts to get it!"

                                              It's gonna get worse...

                                                These type of projects are very difficult to release all at once. With a sectional release each componet is debugged in a beta-like real environment before its bolted on to the next componet.

                                                Good points on the store and points. Some of that is just good ole forumville drive-in news. It will blow over in a day or two as we find something else to bat around.
                                                TPowell has 2,000 posts in 2 days. By the time we come back from the Bash he will have more than 20,000 posts which is more than I have for the last 2.5 years and I hardly miss a day. Do you think I want to hang here any longer if this place is littered with points whoring threads and posts?

                                                You keep saying this will change but I want to see SBR put a break on points whoring immediately before it is too late like Amby suggested. SBR is running against time here to prevent a total collapse of the forum foundation.

                                                          Changes are being tweaked daily. Its mid August of a new project. All will be ok. It will take a little time but I guarantee Bill and his staff are working hard to get this smooth by the end of the month. I have complete faith in them. They will get it right.

                                                              This sounds like something Peeps grandpappy would say.

                                                                SBR has made many changes including chat, sbr lines improvements, sbrtv, so when 1 project is obviously flawed, why not just can it.

                                                                As of this moment its the laughing stock of forums and its power posters value has gone down drastically, Tpowell guy bought into it, and now every second poster is beefing about the points and mentioning his name in the same breath.
