1. Overall vs. other sites. I stay with the best. Not posting anywhere else. Nor do I read anywhere else. I got bored at Fezzik's Place. He was not even a challenge. Bad Frog!. The infopoop service is below average. Way too many outages. Do you have to pay extra for reliable service with backup servers and guaranteed uptime. Contracts can be written dropping price if bogey not attained. Not being able to get to a site, or being able to post, for hours is inexcusable. Step up and get a better provider from all of the protection, I mean advertising funds. Very entertaining site, but the real world is my preference.
The quality of posts have arrived, since I did. Hell, I keep this boring place alive half the time. I am probably one of the most divisive personalities ever to enter the forum. Controversial, constantly. Upset everyone, ruffle feathers, my pleasure. I am the devil's advocate. I am the modern day Diogenese. School of cynic. Kiss1 an alumni. Overall the posts are great. Good information, broad range of topics. Many sharp individuals here. Problem is to get a good read on this you would have to ask the 70% that view and do not post. Maybe higher %. Basically I try to point things out, possible value, and share insights whenever possible. I also like to network, have met some good people work with. I think the posters make the forum, and the mods keep them in line. Once in a while THE SHRINK, blesses us with his expertise and wisdom. I try to remain in awe, but the man, the myth, the legend is somewhat tarnished at this juncture. I think locks and guarantees are a thing of the past. But he dishes out a lot worth thinking about. Overall the best part of the RX is the forums.
The mods are doing a commendable job. General steps in and tries to diffuse things. All the pissing matches and flaming are counterproductive but sometimes get a lot of views. There is a conflict there. Fish has been around the block a million times. I can tell, because of things he posts. Hache is a blast. Had one of my best threads ever with Hache and Pacers. The general holds it all together, even attempting to ask me to do things. But I am the bad FROG, and rarely listen. I am that disruptive kid everyone hated because he was a jerk, but everyone deep down inside wanted to be. FROG be nice, do not be pompous, arrogant, think of others, all sorts of advice. Trying to groom or guide the FROG is counterproductive. Then there is wil. Always there to hit me or kick me when I am down. Flaming me before and after he became a mod. I guess that is the price I have to pay. He is my RX shadow. I know he is there, ready to attack, he waits for the opportunity and pounces. I get more enetertainment from him than the rest of the forum put together.
4. Better would be an archive, sort of like a info base of pertinant threads. Poker archive, sports betting archive. Next, get some links. I want to bounce around. Other sites? Weather, maybe charts, trends, stats. Like that one stop shopping. There is always room for improvement, but I am inexperienced on this business and am probably not qualified to render an opinion. Just some links would help me. And do not promise people shirts for prizes for your own contests and then blow them off. Maybe as a business you think it is good customer service to promise your members something, and then not keep the promise. Am I out of line here? You say I win a shirt, and I get forgotten. Is it because I am bad FROG? If I am good FROG will I get my promised shirts? Wait, maybe they were not promised, but guaranteed lock shirts. I get it now. Besides, if I was good FROG I would be boring as tofu. No thanks. Awesome site and great members. FROG's benjamin rating...OF
