    TT leaving hurts SBR,

    Not financially, but the posters we had, had great balance...

    Posters' need to being able to explore both sides of the coin...

    This is coming from someone who he does not get along w/ even though he's a Louisville fan!

    It's re-evaluation time...

    jjgold is and was SBR. It is not even close to the same. I came here in 2008 and its so much worse now than it ever was despite what the circus clowns "rallying" the troops say.

    I'm around this place as much as anyone, and honestly, I don't remember one post I've ever read of his.

    HE is useless! But he isnt leaving at all!


    He wasnt banned, he can post as much as he wants. But apparently this place doesnt mean too much to him, so he is taking his ball elsewhere

    Hasn't he "left" a bunch of times before?

    Seems like this isn't the first "I'm gone" thread of his I've ignored.

    I hear ya cuz, we go waay back on this site...

    Of course there's no comparison to JJ, but the guys that followed him still post here as well, for the most part...

    I just don't get the value on Justin7's formula or how easily these guys don't care about the top posters who helped create the greatness that SBR is now....

    I understand the higher up's don't wanna cave, but I could list 5-7 posters' that left over the years that I would of never let go...

    The point that you said that proves it all...

    It's like when people talk about horrible commercials...

    If your talking about it, then it's effective...

    He may have been different before, but the only reason that TT would have improved traffic by being here the past month is because he was the universal loser. Everyone felt he was fair game to take a shot at so they did.

    It was saturation, like advertising yes, but when shit is saturated it makes no improvement at all. It becomes known, but you don't like it and don't have to. No point proven at all. Will not be missed at all.

    I think it's because you're only looking at what you personally find value in at SBR. Many of the people who come here every day you've never even heard of. They use SBR Odds, visit Sportsbook and Industry, the Think Tank, Service Plays, use the betpoints book or play poker to get their fix, enter contests, etc. A large chunk of them have zero posts. And beyond all that, there was a reason SBR took away the requirement to post for daily points. But in the end they're not going to beg anyone to stay here. Not me, you, or anyone else. Why have someone here if they'd rather be elsewhere?

    Ok this makes perfect sense, but doesn't it ever get the point were posters become actual people..

    I mean the 8-10 posters I talk to off the forum are guys who make this place work and of course the traffic from betpoints and all the contests and whatnot will not slow down.

    My point is that TT has put alot of effort into this site, and so have several other posters. It would be nice to be acknowledged once in a while, I mean you can judge this by the amount of replies already at this time of night...

    Certain posters' need to be taken care off...

    It's keep the scale balanced...

    TT was acknowledged. I thought he made an excellent Fantasy Mod and when he mainly focused on that I think he brought a lot of value here. I feel a bit embarrassed as I recommended him for that role and also gave him plenty of advice behind the scenes as to how to go about things when he seemed to go off the rails a bit. Unfortunately most of what I told him didn't seem to get through... or if it did it didn't last for long. Not sure what else could have been done to fix that situation.

    Oh and as far as your comment regarding other posters being acknowledged, do you have any suggestions for that? I had suggested that we change or even just add a Capper of the Month award. Maybe a badge and a freeplay in the SBR book for the best one from each subforum? Admin are always open to ideas but sometimes they just need to be mentioned first as daily stuff tends to get in the way as it does at most other jobs. If you or anyone else has any suggestions please put them forward!

    Shari,

    The thing is that we live in a egotistical world. The worst thing about it is that our ego's have become so big that acknowledgement doesn't excite people unless they respect the person it's coming from.

    POTM when JJ was running it was a key piece in this site, there's a reason why he would incorporate new posters and just by them having their named mention made them post more.

    Capper of the month seems more appropriate but its less personal...

    Contests records can prove that,

    What makes the site better? I mean very few cappers are winning long term, and most come here for comfort...

    I just don't get the power battle going on between admin and to posters, but what do I know...

    What exactly did TT add?

    I think you were kinda saying he was the "counterweight" for the forum, which is both accurate and hilarious.

    Controversy which provided the mind to escape from whatever posters' are running from...

    Get it straight, this is the internet, but we had built a family and every family has that person that is different...

    This is not about TT, it's about all of our top posters...

    Look at the drama threads or the videos partying and whatnot, compare them to the winning thread plays...

    No comparison...

    This site was very well rounded..

    And would of been so easy to keep it like that...

    Kid I am not sure what you are getting at here. If certain posters get acknowledged special treatment then there goes the level playing field and in an instant we would have the good old "this guy got this and I didn't".

    Shit is already a little juvenile at times, don't you think that would push it over the middle school edge?

    I post for the fukk of it. Acknowledgement is real low on my list of priorities. I am never mentioned in the "poster of the month/best capper/power poster" discussions. Fukk cares. Every post I make, I try to contribute a little something, whether it be humor, a play, some capping information or a personal contribution to another poster. Through in the odd pseudo e-battle to keep the wits sharp and there you go.

    I post for what I can put into it, not what I can get out of it. It makes me laugh, feel good, grab some info or blow of some fukkin steam.

    Fukk cares about the rest of it.

    Lighten up and enjoy bro. I for one enjoy the fukk out of your posts and many others here. If I am ever fortunate enough to cross paths with you I'd fukkin buy you a beer or twenty.

    Not sure why people hate jj so much. he would always take time to answer anyone. i know some of y'all don't want to hear this but people logged in just to see that guy. Im pretty sure he will be back because its way to slow at eog for him or he will start his own forum.

    I've stood up for TT ever since he gave me advise on my fantasy team.

    But...

    I'm going to have to agree with SBR. I don't like they're making a joke outta it, but TT is NOT mod material. He was posting way over his head. Not just that, he's too hated on this forum. A mod has to be like a coach, if everyone hates him and they're losing, it's mutiny. If he stuck to his fantasy forum and giving out fantasy advise (good or bad) and just being a good host, I would stick up for him. But it's his drama-whoring, and his threats, and just his overall childishness (I'm going to sue Lou!!! Waaah!), it's just annoying.
