With the recent server meltdown it is starting to look like some data on the back ups can not be recovered. Luckily all the user info, points, posts, ect have been restored.

Even without the back ups the techs still believe all of the data will be eventually restored once the Ray5 (the original server with 5 hard drives) is completely restored. I believe we are having the drives shipped in so this could take a week.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience. Ironically, new equipment arrived yesterday to add speed and increase capacity. This was planned in advance to alleviate the loads caused by faster than expected growth of the forum and points sportsbook. Hang in there with us while we get these servers online.

SBR is great! Thx again!

So we're growing like China's GDP again?

...Whose lunch are we eating? Peeps?

[SBR_John]

We normally turn down after football gets a little long in the tooth just as our competitors do. With the SBR servers running at capacity it was not a big worry but then it became clear SBR traffic was not turning down.

As far as your question goes, most guys are loyal to wherever they feel comfortable. SBR has done a better job attracting guys looking to get involved for the first time. Once poker for points and the horsebook come live it will get even better.

john thank you I lost my p.m. information ,I would hate to lose all the postings of people telling me how much they hate me lol

John, thanks for the graph.

As I read it, we're eating EOG's lunch, then.

How come your don't have Cover's on the graph? I thought they were your main competition.

The RX is that high? Who knew?

Covers can fit in that graph. I posted a graph of Covers vs the small three and it was occupying 90% of that graph. The small three were at the bottom fighting for scrubs.

Can't wait

I'll post Covers in a bit but yes, their lead is still quite large although shrinking.

We have the best poster base of any forum. Great attractions attract the best posters.

This is not totally a fair comparison because we have our SBROdds on a different web site while their odds is on their main site. But as you can see we are getting to within striking distance.

Whose lunch are we eating? Peeps?

I didn't know PEEPS was in possession of a lunch. When did they get a lunch? Where'd they get it from?

Last time I was over there Peeps didn't have no lunch.

Shouldn't the numbers on these graphs be, like, higher numbers UP i.e. 100,000 at the TOP of the graph rather than at bottom with 20,000 or w/e at the top??

I don't understand t hese graphs at all. They seem inverted and they are confusing the living shit outta me

I hear ya. Lower is better though. In a few days the Compete.com numbers for all web sites will be released for Jan. Its more accurate. This one you can kind of ignore the numbers and just compare trends.

I joined the site on 01-01-10 at 2:58 am ET. Before the server meltdown, it showed 01-01-10, now it changed to 12-31-09. Can you change back to 01-01-10 for me?

Well that's totally different.

I spend the bulk of MY time in SBR Odds. A few of my buds only use SBR odds.

SBR Odds is SBR's absolutely best feature... speaking of which, these clowns at PT are not.
