Why has the offshore forum been so damn quiet lately?

Is the number of members here declining? Just seems oddly quiet here over the last few months. Still interesting things to read, just seems like a lot less threads being posted compared to years past. Very difficult year to bet baseball too which I'm guessing is contributing to the lack of activity in the offshore forum. I'm not much of a complainer , don't get me wrong I love this site it just seems a bit dead lately, hopefully it's just a slow time of year.

Because all of the good posters have left such as Dante, Fishead. It's like a ghost town in here.

Because BAS has been on vacation the week.He is the one true power topic mod at this site.
It shows you how much difference one single poster can make.
You not only lose the post from bas, you lose the post his post would have created.


This place needs 3 or 4 more posters like him to bring this place back.

Heard he ran off from Boise to LV and is running a strip joint in Sin City nowadays... :grandmais
All kiddin' aside: I think somebody said, he'll be back for football season.

No contests in the OS either

A "daily drawing card" to draw posters...

RX needs to get their head outta their ass.

Make the contest nice and easy - maybe something that requires a poster to come to the forum a couple times.

Other places do this.

And of course no mods creating any threads at all. If their are say 4 mods and they each post 4 threads here a day simply, place would synergisticly get busier. These would be simple threads, odds to win something, an article from the sports section, a simple question etc........,

Yes, BAS makes a difference but it's still very quiet when he's around. Whatever happened to bill hill?

Spend less money on mods and more on contests... Or even free pizza's or anything..

I guarantee 90% of posters would like more contests or free giveaways compared to having an extra paid mod..

It's not even football season yet :ohno:

Still there's a baseball contest in that Forum, We brought Poker back Weekly too
I even got you guys a PRE-SEASON Football contest ... don't think we ever had a contest for Pre-Season..
There are currently Two NFL contests being Promoted.

Also have something going on to win a free entry into the LVH Football
SuperContest

I could think of a min of 7-10 Contests that should be going on during Both NCAA and NFL.

So there will no lack of Contests here at The RX.

I don't spend time on this site to win free shit, those that do I assume add nothing worthwhile to the discussions in the forum. I'm here to learn from others and just talk sports/sports betting and it's this that has been lacking.

its just the time of year... sure if you go back, 2011, 2010, 2009, youll see a thread like this.... baseball is just a slow season...

I wish more people used the offshore forum. definitely my favorite part, but its seems all the rest of the degens are too busy making picks and looking for people to follow... I like to think were the cool kids :grandmais

Giving away a $1500 entry to the Hilton Super Contest, I think that shows theRX is fne with spending money on contest... my opninion could be skewed though

Glad to see it. But as far as generating traffic, probably 30 -- 50 dollar cash contests would generate way more traffic.
Action creates action...... Which creates even more action...

Place needs a kick in the ass.
