What happened to the Rx I used to know?

Long time lurker, new poster here. Been coming to this backwater site for nigh on 20 years, back when ESB came at Ken the first time ('98?)

Kind of sad what this place has become. Full of nasty bullies, tico crackheads and thugs that hurl abuse and threats willie nilliy.

Why do I still come? I guess I keep hoping I'll get a glimpse of the glory years, 98 to 2006 when CR was hopping and the Rx was a fun site to hang out on.

What happened to the Rx I used to know, man?

I do not know the history here, but have learned what a ghost is over the past few weeks, and this smells like that. I enjoy it here in my short time here. Maybe it's you?

THIS PLACE IS EXACTLY THE SAME OLD SAME OLD, not 1 change in layout etc .. just many many have left and it has not kept up with the times... .. There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some things never change
You're still the same

Couldn't of said it any better King. This is the same guy who was trying to bully you about a month ago. Everfresh. Old habits die hard.

Actually, "alf", I don't know anyone on here anymore and haven't "bullied" anyone on here ever. I think you're confusing me with someone else. I am, however, a long time lurker and first time poster. Work for a small internet startup in the midwest (near KCK) and do a little sportsbetting on the side, hence my interest

Thanks for the interest and have a nice day

You really should get a better vpn. The Mods have identified you and your ghosts for the last +300 times. Since it's between believing you or believing the Mods... We'll take the Mods.

Thanks for the interest and have a nice day.

Bases99, like life, things come and go, its getting mighty close to football and this place will be jumping in another 3 weeks and will rock thru the Ncaa basketball tourney, then slow down again, same way it has for as long as i have been here,20+ years.

Social media wrecked forums. Not just the RX, ALL forums.

People are too busy with Facebook/Twitter. Theyll eventually come back though because people are tired of seeing selfies and reading about senseless babble.

But not a full story...here at least.

This wasn't during my on of my "active" lurking periods here, but here's a thread that explains a little of the volatility. Sounds like Synbet was heavy recommended by RX previously and hosting/sponsoring contests. This thread indicates it was a shit show to the point Synbet management had to make a statement and then the ship still went down. Speculation at the end that this led to Wilhelm and OMT stepping down as mods (but that didn't take place in the thread above.)
