Holmes are you a moderator too? Never seen you post before.
And it makes since now that Wil and OMT left. The RX putting touts on the payroll moves to the top of the theory list as to why they are gone.
I joined the Rx in late spring and wear a lot of hats: tech, content creation, marketing, some forum moderation, dispute resolution, etc.
A little background on me: In 1999, I started on the mainstream side of sports media working for TSN.ca in Canada where I published an online magazine. Following that, I moved to the gaming side and worked for Covers, Chalk Gaming (formerly SportsDatabases) and Don Best.
If you have any more questions, feel free to fire away.
As for touts on the payroll, this is not the case. We have a relationship with Who2BetOn.com, much like with have relationships with certain sportsbooks. Wil's leave of absence is unrelated to this relationship.
