Thanks Tiny.....but the youngsters here do not want war stories about offshore and gambling related threads...they want drama and off topic stuff like what's your favorite color and your favorite bar-b-Q....

Wonder how many here remember when offshore started and the 60 minute piece on Ron Sacco...they gambling days before the internet and a sportsbook bonus? The days of calling an 800 number and getting a rundown and making a bet for the phone call....and the days when Vegas called Offshore to get a line every morning....

i enjoy the history of it all. i still do not know much about it. it is intriguing. the dramatic stuff, i tend to overlook. at times i engage just because i'm bored WITHOUT the old war stories and offshore gambling related threads lol.

I think the mods do well --

but part of the gig is starting threads--


just 4 threads a day here per mod in this forum is about 20-//


and this creates synergy- cant stress it enough.


BS on the time of year stuff, on the past place was rocking in anticipation of a BASH.

I have been coming to this forum since 1998... the Rx was the Shrink's Palace.... I remember from the coverage on the Jay Cohen case and all the rest since then....

To begin as to why, in my humble opinion, this place is tanking begins with small details... there is an image and a cover story on Revis.
WTF? Begin to update your info, unless the budget doesn't cover for that, or get a new graphics designer/SEO/content head honcho... you cant come to the site and see articles about NFL trades months after and expect people to NOT sit there and say "damn, SAME OLD sh!t... right from the FRONT COVER!?"

I wrote a protest a while back about how this place has the same crap content/threads over and over... (hope I don't get banned) but it really has come to a crashing halt off or ON season... I would can junk to the rubber room so fast the posters would think about it a lot more...

Favorite Pizza, Jessica fat Simpson, who's sister is this and so much other junk that you might as well piece the Off shore room and the main room back together to get something out of it... cause let's face it... This Forum is, was and always will be about COSTA RICA OFF SHORE INDUSTRY.... some stuff IS very CR specific but in the end its the same peeps talking about stuff somewhat related... OR if the main room is gonna remain so, lets keep it pristine... talk about a game a day, the trends, is it a good bet or a bad bet, is that pitcher good against the other, or the line up....

lets help each other offering each other USEFUL MEANINGFUL information so we can all bank or tank on the same game... or at least to have something to bet against and then come crack up about it here.... I have seen so many dumb posts so many uninformative, laughably stupid posts and threads here that I cant believe I signed up again the last time...

I had read a lot here for years without a user handle, my original got canned by the shrink for exposing a no no... but it would be good to talk about Software updates and comparisons, informational pieces, gamblers apps for smartphones... something new about the industry and not about some dude finding a card in his attic and making it big... I got the huffington for that kind of article.... no pun intended, I cant even remember who put up the link to read that, but my point is this... once and a while to come here and find something new and good to read is harder to do everyday, if this place really wants to get better it can, like anything it take elbow grease and fresh new ideas.... a good budget doesn't hurt but I can't speak on behalf of the treasurer....

my two cents.

i think we should kill 1 poster a month on live cam.....make it entry fee based....so for example if your willing to sign up for the death poll you get 5k for doing so....but of course you risking being the one voted on for death...the poll closes on the last day of the month and then we send a hit team to the "winners" house and kill him on camera.....

They should look for Android/iOS developers to make a mobile version of the forum. Most of the other forums I read have mobile apps. (XDA forums... for example). Adding direct sharing options to twitter, facebook, and google plus for each post would also be helpful. I could help out if anyone is interested.

I think quite the opposite. The forums that have links to share any post to multiple social networks only drives traffic back to the forum. Many of your friends will probably click on the link to check the original post out.

FACEBOOK and TWITTER have really hurt forums...........................................

Memo to Rx ... work the point system. Here's an idea : access (aquire?) a super basic poker server exclusive for Rx members. Run tournaments in which entry fees are "points" and winners accumulate more points. Maybe run some online "real time" trivia for points. Trivia is generally ruined by Google online... but if you can somehow figure out a real time application where the first guess whens... the googler's won't have time to google the answers.

These activities would get things moving again. I think anyway

Just throw them on post review for a month instead of overnight, seems like a good way to keep new posters here who start off rocky.

You must not remember NES, an intelligent yet necio poster. Keep it up to end up on the EOG with the Ask NES corner... (he is a good guy that does do good here in CR btw, just had a bad spell here on the rx)

So be nice, and don't try to play the clint eastwood guy here. I will shoot you down.

I was being very sarcastic mocking people who are saying the site is in trouble.... If you didn't get that and took it literally sorry for you

Yes I know who nes is and I have spoken to him before. As far as shooting me down if the RX doesn't want me here I will go quietly without any problems

1st, Post Review, isn't a big deal... I could be on Post Review and couldn't care less.....

secondly, in the case your talking about, which I don't why it matters to you, he's had multiple post that needed to be deleted in his first days here. The exact reason that Post Review is helpful for us... I'm sure he'll come out on top and get off Post Review,

We could over-moderate too that sure seems to help...:>(

It's prerry amazing that from there you know what I do or don't do here......
unless its Racism, a Report a post, or tensions are high and things are getting personal, I let it go.....:trx-smly0

For instance, I think it's ridiculous to tout's some elses losing record in you signature, but I've never moderated that have I..
