exactly, thats why INky should stop, so we could all beat the books. Why can't you just agree with his wishes.
I generally don't get involved in all the drama like what has been going on, but I decided to voice my 2 cents.
First, I am a member at a few forums and I like to read them to get some insight about games that I might not be seeing. I was a member at a pretty large forum like theRX and I had over 10,000 posts. It was a nice place to go and just bs about games and we had a lot of fun. I actually made many friends on there and have met quite a few of them in person.
That forum is still open but it has basically died because of similar bs that occured and many of us left because of the drama.
I think this whole issue is a joke BUT I still come here to laugh at the drama.
Now, my 2 cents - I followed PennyWise during his great run in baseball and am glad I did. He did a great job. When PW left and Mo started the other forum, I also joined that forum. I looked at it daily and made 5-10 posts, not alot I realize - but I did enjoy going there and seeing what other handicappers thoughts were about different games.
When Inky was posting PW's plays against PW's wishes, I thought it was wrong BUT it is not illegal, it is the internet, but I still did not think Inky should do it. But, he did. Again, not illegal as paid handicappers plays are posted here also. I just felt it was not right for Inky to do it as he was asked not to.
If others wanted to see PW's, all they had to do was join the other forum. I can understand why PW was upset, but what has transpired since then is also wrong.
I, like many others were "banned" from the other forum. Again, it is Mo's forum, so he can do what he feels. The explanation from John Crichton is that "things were being worked out" and that possibly, the forum would be open again to others besides the VIPs that have access to the plays, not only PW's but others as well.
Again, it is Mo's forum and he can do what he wants. But, in order for a forum to be successful, it needs members and views, and obviously, Mo's forum is not getting much of either at this time - at least not enough to make it successful.
However, as wrong as Mo, PW, and the other VIPs feel that Inky posting PWs plays here was wrong, it is also wrong for the VIPs of the other forum to come in here and gloat about any winners they have received from PW or any one else there.
If the VIPs feel what Inky did was "chickenshit" with PWs plays, how is it right for you VIPs to come here and gloat to the ones that were banned FOR NO REASON GIVEN, about all the winners being had at that site ?
To me, this whole thread is laughable and a joke but it does draw idiots like me who come in here basically to get a laugh.
But, coming in here gloating about winners that people, who had nothing to do with what Mo and PW were pissed at, don't have access to, is just as "chickenshit" as what Inky has done.
Just my 2 cents
Well, I'll give you my 2 cents on it. I don't have many posts here, but I joined there and have liked it a lot. With a bigger forum, there tends to be a lot of bashing and negativity like the forum you said you left. I started posting there after not being sure about posting here. I've had nothing but people being positive and wishing me well and conversations about different games and bets. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I guess there is a big difference with a for profit forum and a private one like Mo's. They aren't trying to make money in any possible way, just share info and try and Make money. All that is asked is that what is shared at that forum is kept there. I also had a write up that I did taken and posted at the RX. It's going to happen as you mentioned, but at the other forum people that have done that have been banned. While on the other side it's been shown in this thread that people have plagiarized other people's write ups and have even wished others dead, have just said not to do that again against their own rules that say they will be banned.
I'm not a Mod or anything over there, but I've been a VIP since that section opened. It opened 2 weeks before Pennywise EVER posted a play in there. I got a message asking if I wanted to join the VIP. ALL it was, was a different section for those who had been active and really cared about making that Forum a good community to talk. We all just bs'd and talked. It had nothing to do with hiding picks. I know once it became something, they tried everything they could to get people in the VIP as quick as possible, but unfortunately one of Inky's ids must have got in. I don't know about that side, but I know everyone wants those who want to be there and just enjoy talking about sports to be there, but that hasn't been able to happen.
Also even thought there isn't thousands of people there, the people that are there, have a lot of great info to share and are completely fine with it being a smaller forum because the ones that are there really do care about the community.

I haven't seen PW plays on here for awhile, it's all his own Zoltar's?? I don't get it since everything's (moles) have cleared out of the VIP section, why not let others into the general forum??
Sounds swell, but why are you here posting at the Rx? Why aren't you staying put at the pimple sized forum you profess to love so much? :think2:
That's what I don't get. If that small pimple sized forum is "all that," why do people continue to slither back here at the Rx? :think2:
Why not just stay where you say the members "care" about the community? :think2:
Why did you post at the pimple sized forum. Why didn't you just stay at this forum that you profess to love so much? :think2:
If this forum is all that, why did you slither into that pimple sized forum with multiple id's? Especially when you were told you weren't welcome. :think2:
It goes both ways.
And before you say it was to be Robin Hood of the rx to bring PW's plays here (like you once pronounced), now you're saying "Who needs Pennywise?"
Which one is it now? :think2:
