Dear WSEX GM,
Have you ever hear of 'advertising'? I suggest you try it sometime. It may make people outside of this forum aware of your site. Someday you may even have more than 7 or 8 people playing at the same time.
If WSEX can't afford to advertise, then I am all for the 90%RB, 10% advertising idea.

Why be a jerk about it?
Especially when you're uniformed.
They advertise on these and other forums.
And I can't open hardly ANY poker magazine without seeing a big, full-page ad for NO RAKE poker at WPEX.
They've been in CardPlayer and Bluff (and probably All In and Poker Pro I'm guessing as well) in every issue I've seen since they started this.
They also arranged with CardPlayer for a nice long article about their new, innovative approach in the poker-room that included them getting on the cover.
They've been regularly participating in these forums to let the customers know what they're thinking as well as their thoughts about the legislation.
If you're referring to 'television' advertising then you need to be aware that even before the legislation passed there wasn't a TV station in the country that would let them advertise 'rake free' poker on their real-money games.
Whether they can actually 'afford' to advertise more. Har har har. They are a pretty darn big sports-betting site.
I have no idea how much they make but I'm pretty sure they could afford to buy as much advertising as they want to for their site.
It's attitudes like yours and the tone that you are taking that makes me wonder why folks like WSEX-GM and other poker-site reps would even bother coming to 2+2 to discuss things with us in the first place.
They are offering 100% rakeback for crying out loud.
And all you can think to do is be a total jerk about 'ever hear of advertising? I suggest you try it sometime'
In short - try to have a clue if you are going to criticize and please try to be a bit more civil when doing so.
