Internet Bonus forum
 

Obviously PSO does not sponsor it anymore. Bobo Fett pointed out it does not have a FAQ or rules stickied anymore and the mod does not look like they post in the forum anymore. Is PSO's mod still modding it or does it need a mod?

if that forum is not sponsored, then why is it still there? should it not be rolled back into the zoo where it actually started? why would PSO still control the modding there?

Re: Internet Bonus forum
 

I'm still around. The IB forum just hasn't needed much policing lately.

As far as I know, PSO is not moderating the forum anymore, but I am. While I did used to work at PSO, I have not been an employee for the last 6 months or so, although I do still work closely with the company.

As long as I am still a mod, the only real change I will make in my posting habits in the IB forum is not advertising for PSO by posting info about new promos, recommending PSO over all other affiliates, etc. I will still recommend PSO to people if applicable and am still willing to answer questions, but I won't be making posts about PSO happenings.

That said, I never restricted discussion about other affiliates, anyway. In fact, in the new rules sticky I posted, I added affiliate discussion as an approved topic, with a couple caveats.

At this point, it's probably better to just keep it split out so as not to clog the Zoo any more than it already is.

By the way, I will be out of town from Thursday through Monday, so I don't get the chance to address any issues, this is why. I am going to help my in-law setup a new computer (not the reason I am leaving), so I should be able to check 2+2 at least once over the next few days.

I think a lot of 2+2'ers use that forum a ton. I check it daily though I rarely post. It doesn't seem to need a ton of moderation.

A/R and IB have 60 posts per day combined and traffic is trending down. They could definately use a merger. If IB lost a sponsor, this is an easy merge.

The days of endless bonuses and affiliates competing to lure rakeback players is past it's peak. A/R doesn't require much mod action. A spam post every 3 days or so and a borderline one 3 or 4 times a week. Who would mod the merged forum if it merged?

Re: Internet Bonus forum
 

A/R and IB should definitely be merged.

I agree. I just don't want it merged back into the zoo

Re: Internet Bonus forum
 

Going off topic, I know, but I'd prefer you call it The Zoo nowadays, with a capital Z, if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks to Jim's modding, and my help, I don't believe it is a zoo any more; although it will always be The Zoo.

I am particularly pleased with the bot thread. I've read most of the posts, and I've only had to edit three or four OTT insults, two of which were by the same person. In the "old days", when it was a zoo, every other post would have been nasty, angry or insulting. This is a hot and emotion-filled topic, and temperatures are high, but there is much reasonable and interesting debate and content in the thread, whichever side of the fence you are on.

We could team up to become a SUPERMOD!

Re: Internet Bonus forum
 

Is this worth a poll to posters to let them decide what would be best? I'm out of town for the weekend so I'm not going to be around enough to mod it.

I'm out of town right now, as well. I didn't expect to be able to check the forums today, as I'm going to be on the road most of the day (leaving in an hour). I should be able to check in on Sunday (maybe tonight, if where I'm staying has internet access). I don't really care what happens either way.

Re: Internet Bonus forum
 

FWIW A/R posters voted 68/32 to leave things the way they are.

Yeah, not many happy people in there. If A/R and IB merge then it should be OK. If rakeback discussion is not allowed in IB it is going to piss some people off.
