Fish: Looks like the SBR Bash will be bigger...

Rx has lost about 40% traffic within last year. They finally died out dye mainly to poor products and inability to look ahead.

I was at my first RX Bash last year; this year first SBR Bash. Not a statement of loyalty in either case though, just a timing issue.

Looking forward to seeing all you degenerates this weekend!

I went to the 2nd and 3rd and even won the poker tourney that year. I would have thought it would have just kept growing. Its a lot of fun. TheRx knows how to throw a shin dig no doubt about that.

RX is ok to read (sometimes), but if you are not an A$$kisser this is the wrong place to post at..
the "we control yooo!" BS obviously costs them a lot of traffic.
Don´t go down this road SBR, i was on post-review shortly after i signed up here. That sucked, John you should make some orders and remove this crap.

Anything started by the shrink will eventually fold. He is more stale than Kazakhstan beer.

I totally agree. I said something against SBG Global there and it was deleted like hey WTF? I was a gone after that. I think everyone will agree it went to their head when they were the only game in town. For a while even recently new posters were automatically on post review. That kind of says it all. You can post there if you say the right thing. It is a strange culture steeped in a little paranoia.

Some thoughts.......

1. At the time Neteller took off from the U.S. market in JANUARY of 2007, I believe TheRX was without question the best sportsbetting forum for the 1-5 years preceeding that time and STILL IS A PLACE I FREQUENT DAILY because of two huge factors for me and that is I still learn a great deal about gambling and/or the offshore world there AND I have many, many friends that post there that make TheRX their home forum.

2. Overall, my opinion is that SBR is a better overall site if and when it is compared to THERX solely because SBR has spent tons of energy and money in gathering employees/mods/etc.,/etc........that have supreme talent.
This is not to say TheRX doesn't but just that SBR has worked a little harder to become what they are today..........and they deserve credit for this.

In all modesty and not to dish anyone currently at TheRX because I truly love everyone that works the site now, but TheRx lost a lot in terms of traffic with the departure of Journeyman and myself. I quit being a mod there just a few short weeks after Neteller went down because at the time I had decided to shut down my entire presence in the offshore world and thus wouldn't not be sitting next to a PC for 12+ hours a day enabling me to be an effective mod. Not only time, but I would be disengaged from the offshore world and a lot of what I brought to the table was my experiences offshore, which were to be no more. Leaving had nothing to do with ANY hard feelings towards TheRX.

Drawing a large number of people goes hand in hand with a forums ability to having a main forum that is heavily conversation ridden(even with a little drama mixed in). In that respect alone, SBR has flown by TheRX.

In closing, I could not imagine ever not visiting either forum on a regular basis, whether I'm in the offshore world or not, great people at both sites and both highly educational.................this is the only two forums I can say this about at this time, even though I like numerous others, but not to the degree of TheRX or SBR.
