    "The Saloon" Experiment is Officially a Failure

    Bring it back to PT and PZ.

    PT gets 20x the traffic of The Saloon, and people still see PT as bs zone/general discussion, so people do not want to have to check two forums for basically the same kind of topics.

    I forget The Saloon is even there and see a bunch of threads of good quality with like 20 views, when they would have 500+ in PT.

    And what is now done with overly inappropriate posts/threads? Just deleted instead of PZed like before? We need PZ back as the dungeon of SBR.

    Speaking of the saloon I was to field some questions on sex and relationships. Haven't returned there yet.

    The Players Talk is too crowded with off topics. If people post at The Saloon it will change. But don't count on it from the posters. It needs someone from the higher ups to put the wheels in motion.

    And its been so long, what 1 week? LOL

    As I mentioned before it will take several sports seasons to bring it around. No one is in any hurry. Let's see how it is at towards the end of the year.

    To be honest, I like the old way better myself. I just need to get used to the changes.

    I don't understand why everyone is so up in arms here. Just shows how lazy the world is getting....now clicking on two forums is becoming a hassle. You'd think you actually had to get up and "walk" to the fukkin saloon.

    Everyone is so quick to deem the saloon a failure. It appears as though that is what you guys wan't. Whether you like it or not the saloon is good for sbr. Keep players talk for what is was meant for.

    if you clowns put as much time into winning your bets, as you do putting into posting trash maybe you'd win a few bucks.

    The Saloon isn't there because it needs to be popular. It's there so Players Talk remains popular. But...it's currently running at 14-1 ratio with Players Talk. Not too shabby for 1 month vs. 72.

    If it was about Saloon proving itself we could rip off the bandaid now and make people go in there to see the nonsports threads. That wouldn't be very cool of us. There's no rush... get to know your new neighborhood saloon.

    Give it time, guys. I think by next football season it will especially help having the forums separated a bit.

    Some members just want to focus on sports and gambling talk, without a lot of other clutter. Then every so often when a break is needed from that, you can check out The Saloon and see what's up.

    Others are more into The Saloon kinds of topics and can get more attention with their threads and posts there.

    Overall, it's kind of like strip clubs with multiple levels, for those who've been. Will be good things about visiting both

    Oh and by the way... this thread should be in the saloon as it's not sports related talk.

    Im not understanding what PT is anymore. SBR is becoming confusing & hard to navigate. & when things get like that I usually tell them to get their toothbrush & tampons & GTFO

    And that's why it's ridiculous.

    They want to change PT from bs/general to sports/gambling related, while introducing saloon as the new bs/general forum. It won't happen, ever. PT is the flagship and center of bs/general/sports/gambling/everything and it's where posters will always go.

    yeah, PT is where the nonsense happens along with sports related. If its that seriously sports related in needs to be in the respective sports forum, but PT is just for whatever you wanna talk about. Now were gonna split that up into 2 or 3 forums??? Not gonna work
