Covers.com is the shithole of the world wide web. That place is run by Scam Artist Nazis. They are responsible for the entire Sarah J Phillips fiasco as they let it happen and banned any member who called him/her out while they were running his/her scam. Not to mention the BetED scandal they were involved in.
That site runs slower than a snail thumbtacked to the floor with all of the ads they constantly have running.

Yeah recently they cut active links, avatars with any kind of skin, marijuana leaves, and just today invoked no curse words. What a mickey mouse crock of shit...

They claim their advertisers don't want to see that stuff(swearing, scantily clad women) yet they are advertising on a damn Website that revolves around illegal activity.
What is happening over there reminds me of when a restaurant is struggling to make ends meet. They start taking things off of the menu or charging extra for shit like mayonnaise and cutting back on the quality, then the customers stop coming in and the next thing you know, they are closed.

This has always been my home, but covers still has more threads discussing the games than the sub-forums here. Especially if I need some type of insight on a soccer game, I know there will be a thread there for it no matter what but not so much here.

I doubt the traffic will continue over there as I can already see it slowing down drastically. Basically all that is going to be left are touts trying to scam each other. And Wallstreetcappers continuing to box whom he chooses while letting other banned people continue to return under various accounts and slap the real members in the face.

Yes there sports stats and whatnot are great but the way they run the site. I mean you are suddenly overnight not allowed to use the word shit. I am a grown man and most grown men talk that way, especially when talking sports. It is no longer fun to be there.

I seen that site heading for disaster when they banned Hyper Linking, then the Avatar Nonsense, and now the Curse words being altered.
That place is like Misfit Island and Wallstreetcappers is the Charlie-In-The-Box and Rizzo is the train with square wheels.

Yeah, I don't have an account there so I have no clue about the way the site is run. Hopefully the good guys over there come over here so we can have some more discussions on obscure soccer games or just every game in general.

One of the main problems that I've noticed and many people have complained about, is the fact that you can join up there without going through the whole email verification process. So you have guys running around with 10 different accounts. I have also heard that even some of the moderators there mess with people under bogus accounts.
You are a pretty sad pathetic person if you feel need to get your rocks off posting under 10 different persona's. People that do that didn't get enough of their mama's titty when they were a baby.

I also recall a Mod being called out on whether or not they had access to people's Private Messages over a comment that a Mod made, and the Mods grouped up and denied it, but it turned out that one of the Mods caught someone making fake names because they were using the same password for multiple accounts and then proceeded to make a public post that they knew the poster in question was using the same password for the various accounts. So apparently the Mods know what people's passwords are, so they obviously also have access to their accounts. From what I remember, The guy who called out the mods on that was banned and never let back.
