Not saying this is how it is now, but most forums go dead once Mods start overstretching their powers and get quick to ban people. I never agree with any ban unless it is intentional spam over and over or someone using the forum as a means to scam others.
Even Everfresh or that AK guy; who gives a shit. If it bothers you that much, you don't have to click on the thread.
I was thinking about your last sentence about Everfart and Ak. I'm all for forgiveness and moving on, but those two if you don't remember, were a cancer. Everfart belongs in a psych ward and Ak........how do you sum that guy up? He was a good sports contributer and ran a daily thread in NBA, but the "racist" bullshit was beyond annoying. The dude was a broken record and just wanted to argue. I guess he's back now, but haven't seen him post much.
The Rx is the shit. I've learned a ton about gambling in general since I joined amongst other things. I've never belonged to any forum before and there are a lot of good capers here with a lot of sports knowledge. A lot have gone, but there are still quite a few.
I've been working my ass off so haven't posted as much.
The only issue I have really is if I start a thread about personal shit, like a fucked up funny story, there are the posters who jump in your thread and tell you what an idiot you are. I already know I'm an idiot with the things I occasionally do, but HEY, "it's fun to do bad things." It really doesn't bother me what other posters think to an extent, but just makes it not worth it. Yolo!!
