Given the extremely low amount of high stakes posts in MTT right now, we are going to get shot down immediately.

So if you really think we need this forum, prove it. Make some posts. Let's see what happens.

Obviously I don't quite get how it works when talking to the higher ups, but I see it as the opposite. ppl don't post high stakes MTT hands because of the mere fact that its not a high stakes board. All ppl see are 1 dollar tournament hands so they get discouraged... thats basically everyone's entire point for why there should be a high stakes forum.

I don't see why it would be so hard to convey that sentiment to mat/whoever else decides.


I'll respond to other stuff later or tomorrow, i'm going to bed.

Ansky,

I really don't think this is the case, and if it is, then it's pretty ridiculous.

We can't just go make a forum everytime somebody thinks we might have something to talk about. We'd have 300 forums by now. If people aren't going to take the time out of their day to create some high stakes posts now, they probably won't later either.

Ridiculous or not this is the case, and you don't have to take my word for it, just ask... well anyone who plays high stakes MTTs and has no interest in posting in MTT.

And we aren't asking for 300 more forums based on random other interests, this is such a meaningless hyperbole. There are plenty of other forums that have split based on stakes because of interest for it. This is the case now. It's not like I'm saying we need a stud/8 MTT board because no one posts stud/8 MTT hands... we are talking about a substantial amount of traffic that is being turned away.
