SBR was already on its way downhill.
The BI scandal just expedited the process.
SBR's business model was to support the posters and players, but then they got greedy.
No-one wants much to do with the place anymore. The numbers speak for themselves.
Its a shame, because SBR used to be decent forum.Points Awarded:
Terrapin Station gave Gee 24 SBR Point(s) for this post.

Sbr's business model was never to support the players, it was to suck players in and get a % of their losses, while getting advertising money and essentially making books pay for ratings. Posters now blame sbr for their own ignorance and naivety. Originally Posted by Gee

Mike is spot on...
However, SBR is doing this wrong, all the higher-up posters, excluding Shari (moderators) have been M.I.A., people have lost trust in SBR, which will happen with a scandal, but SBR ran away from it instead of giving a statement.
They could have/have not taken blame, but something was better than nothing.
Having moderators such as (SBR_Forum) etc hurt the 'business' and the forum, because people could atleast put a face behind the name in the previous years.
Not to mention no one has heard from SBR_John since his lawsuit post and he is horrific at checking in and posting the state of SBR/direction they are heading.
SBR could have recovered from the BI scandal, if handled properly. Now, it seems like the moderators don't give two shits about the business/forum, which could be because it was sold/will be sold or this site is going to be offline soon.
You have an increase in store prices, not even the slightest announcement, little changes and no announcements, LOU used to announce server downtime - now the server will be upgrading and no announcement. All of this is poor management from the SBR higher-ups.
Could JJGold have solved this issue? No. He could have alleviated some of the pressure from SBR to totally redirect its efforts after BI though. They didn't wanna pony up the money, obviously.
I firmly believe the forum could still be salvaged because of the core of good posters who enjoy SBR/point system etc. Everyone has a different vendetta... Milwaukee Mike, Yisman, TryTryTry, SecretStash, Rudy, Louvillekid, Sweeper, Venditto lurks, Zeta, TTWarrior, Opie, BigDay, El Nino, No Coin, LakerBoy, IWYM/MUG, Giant, Seaweed, and a ton of others...
But, no one knows exactly what has happened or where this forum going, I cashed in my last 3k pts after losing 3k to Yisman
, to another Gift Card before prices went up, Shari has told me point system is safe, though.
I believe what John has done with SBR has been fantastic, and very business orientated, his post-BI management has been poor. So, why doesn't he come out and hire new moderators/posters or shut this thing down, because right now the questions mark still remain.
That's my .02, either give a sh*t and try to reform the forum, or let it slowly die off with rumors circulating from every which way.
Not answering your consumers/customers questions in Business is not the way of handling things.

people confuse the business side of SBR and the "players talk" side all the time
nothing that players talks junkies think is "wrong" with the site actually matters.
that is not where the money is. for every PT forum addict with all our disorders that longs for the "good ole days"
there are 500 people that sign up in foreign countries and barely post or post only in sub forums. but they clicked on the banners, and they are the REAL traffic.
we don't matter, they don't make the majority of their money off attention monkeys and goofballs
if you want PT to matter. Make it matter, by being part of the solution and not a complainer and whiner only

Obviously, it is and always was a BUSINESS, so I'm not sure what your point is. Originally Posted by milwaukee mike

What was the BI scandal?
I've been a lurker from time to time and seems the same to me. Posters hating on other posters, etc. The level of maturity on SBR is pretty bad. I guess that's just the personality of the forum. I can't think of another forum that has the traffic SBR has, so I doubt this place is going under anytime soon.

I made a post asking if it used to be better, it was just a question and got ripped by a ton of posters. No one seems to want to help and then I bring myself down to others level and start to argue. Just sucks that more people here aren't to help with betting. Dont get me wrong there are some good people here but I think that we know who they are by just reading posts. anyhow gl to EVERYONE dickhead or not on their plays today. Arent we all just trying to beat the books?

Definitely agree. Too many douchebags here and guys that just run their mouths and hate on everybody with every post they make. Maybe this is why moderators have been told to be more strict when it comes to language and stuff. Originally Posted by Mitchell88

if you want a serious discussion on a game, then start a thread about it, serious threads usually get serious responses. yes there are always a couple trolls, some of which don't even bet, but there are less of those around these days

JJGold is touching his junk as he reads this. Fukn pole smoker is gone (or ghosting) and this place is all the better for it. The free world and the net should drop that puke troll. Nothing like watching some stool pusher threaten others on the net with physical violence from some over the hill mafia wanna be. Although I'm sure some brown cats that like weights and looking at themselves drip sweat got off on it. Originally Posted by BigDeem5

Maybe if SBR did not ban sooo many intelligent posters that actually knew something about the industry, this place would have some worthwhile content. It seems a lot of people got banned because they shed light on what SBR would rather not have the rest of us privy to. This lessening of value is the price of SBR's censorship -- I hope they are happy.

I am not saying that I dont get brought into the mix and say stuff that is childish cause I do, just wish that everyone didnt have to be so miserable all the time. Not everyone but majority lately seem to be. If you read post you can see that if someone is miserable they are talking to someone for alterior motives. Just sucks.

Yup, well everyone does it isn't a great excuse, but it is the industry that they are in.
You're still at this restaurant and one of the better/more active posters around!
In response to Bon Vivant: SBR promoted a book (BI) as safe and A+ in exchange for advertising dollars, when there is a strong suggestion that they knew it was about to go under. As a result, a lot of posters lost a lot of money by trusting SBR, who were only shilling for the book.
