What's the point of going to another forum to talk about SBR?

[onthewhat]

The entire forum at Peeps is just SBR Discussion. I don't get the point of posting over there when everyone is reading here and posting their thoughts on SBR topics on another forum

bc it takes traffic away from SBR and to peeps

I think I have looked at other forums like 5x the last 2-3 years, could not even name posters anywhere else.

Post to who is posting here

OGD made their bones talking about 'other' forums & people. That is their model , it is a DIGEST

what's the point of posting anywhere, really?

yes. and most forums tend to sweep controversy under the rug, move posts, delete threads etc. <cough, cough>

OGD doesn't mind posters with agendas bringing their issues over to sort things out, almost everyone posts at other forums as well which makes for a fun, unfriendly, chaotic atmosphere.

[onthewhat]

ATX go back to your other forum then

[Brick]

I would say they are trying to make the higher ups at sbr pay for this. It is like a little chat room with the 4 or 5 of them over at ogd. They will be back in no time.

Probably Brick

Some people have a hard time moving on I guess....I left several other sites that I loved in one way or another since 2006 and wouldn't even give them the attention to even mention them here by PM or post.

I used to do that kind of stuff LIKE POSTING CRAP IN OTHER FORUMS, because I used to have the mods and owners of a couple sites changing words, deleting posts, etc. Now I'm almost 40 and have the mind set of JUST MOVE ON and Shut up about the other places...Don't even give the owners of the place the time of day to mention them...that hurts worse

lol. talk about taking the forums a little too seriously...

it's not my forum.

I don't know many posters at OGD that don't own another forum or post at multiple forums regularly.

the point of going to another forum to express thoughts or concerns about another forum is usually because they are being censored elsewhere.

I'm in the United States, and you?

I was a mod at 2 of the places I left from to come here and I can tell you this....most of these site owners are washed up cappers and the biggest wussies when it comes to dealing with people..and add the fact, they have big EGO'S also, and most of the time, it rubs off on the MODS.

true. mods can run a site into the ground and quickly.

which sites were you moderating? (if I'm allowed to ask)

[MJT1212]

That's sad.

[jgiun1]

I was a MOD for 2 different sites.... I don't want to mention them....But if you Google my screen name, you can find them.

Perfect example of MODS bringing down a place was Covers/Wagerline forum before the merge. Wagerline forums were booming all good, then the MOD's got a little Ego happy and would penalty box people and would not even give a warning. One mod (aaaa1) was boxing people that didn't agree with with his political views....it was sick

[jgiun1]

I love this place and will always post here...I'm just talking about whet I learned from being on the inside of some smaller sites and dealing with the owners. One perk it always had was free entry fee's into fantasy leagues for some nice money, but trust me, you work for the FREE ENTRY.

[ATX]

the exponential growth of SBR has been due in large part to the terrible moderating elsewhere

I'm not necessarily complimenting the moderators here

but congratulations on not being as bad

PEEPS FORUM IS A GHOSTTOWN NOBODY THERE THE SBR KIDS WILL BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER IT WILL GET BORING AND THEY WILL BE BACK.

THEY ARE ACTING LIKE 2 YEAR OLDS OH SHIT THEY PROBABLY ARE

[BigdaddyQH]

I have posted at many sites before. Got my tail kicked out of a number of them. Some banishments I deserved. Some I did not. The point is this. When I talk about SBR in anothier forum, it is always to complement them on the way they are handling the forum as a whole. Sure there are people in here who I do not like, just as there are people in here who do not like me. You are going to find that in any forum. If I have a problem with SBR, I will let SBR know directly, not by going to some other site and complaining. That does not always work, but it is the way I do things. I actually got kicked out of a forum for doing that, but again, that is past history.

If you have a complaint about a person or the way things are done in here, man up and let the people in charge here know about it. Do not go whining about it in another forum. I mean, how juvinile can you get? Every forum has it's share of guys, who bounce in, shoot their mouths off, get slam dunked, and then mysteriously disappear. That is nothing new. The stereotype of people who post, and many amateur gamblers is not going to chance. For the most part, ages 21 (maybe) to 35, male, drinkers, and very macho. Many are politically conservative. Many are white. I have known literally hundreds of posters, and that description fits the majority of them. So learn to live with those posters. I am very big on college football. I do not wager on any other sport, or at least nothing worth mentioning. After the season ends, I will find out who else in here is big also. I will be one of the few (by comparison) who still will be posting in the college forum. I hope my insights and information help those who are actively seeking to improve their wagering.

2 year old. Hit the nail on the head.

Yea, THAT WAS MY POINT...Not ripping on here, but the grass isn't always greener on the web somewhere else. Every forum has it's issues-drama-young kids, but what I found here is way better than any other site I ever posted on.

[jgiun1]

Funny thing is....smaller sites love when this stuff happens...the bigger member takes a small clan and regroups at another forum.

When CBS mods were getting out of hand, all flocked to WTS (site I was a mod)...that owner got out of control with a big ego and people ran to WTS (the other site) that owner got the head bigger than his site and POOF...both sites going down hill as we speak...the only thing keeping one site open is the posting of all PAY SERVICE plays for free...100's of them. People go there, click on the service plays and leave...lol

[ATX]

people handle problems in different ways.

some posters prefer more of a biting sarcasm approach, keep the issues above ground, a sort of jury by peer. I think this is effective and beneficial to all forums in the long run by generating publicity. silly problems should be handled in silly ways.

having butted heads with you before, you are probably referring more to serious sports discussion in the picks threads and I agree that is different.
