For a forum with no traffic, you guys sure do have a hell of a lot of criteria for trying to organize no posts.

The problem with this forum are the posters. Sports bettors don't want to share info, and people come to this forum expecting info to be shared. This creates an instant clash of expectations when anyone new starts reading here. Every thread follows the same couple of scripts:

Person lists picks with or without explanation of said picks.

Regular posters A, B, and C berate said person for no evaluation, or simply discredit said evaluation with no actual backup info.

Next script is

Person A asks for advice on picks

Every regular and semi regular poster on the forum pounces, explaining that one needs to make their own picks, advice given is then replied to with advising not to make picks you don't bet on, etc.


The bottom line is, you aren't going to get any new posters in this forum, with or without organization, because the only discussion available is that telling people what to say and not to say. I often read people defending blind picks with "someone might stumble across this site and put real money on these idiotic picks!" when the reality is, without becoming a professional sports bettor, any sucker willing to try to differentiate between actual picks and questionable picks and put money on it deserves to lose the money invested. It is very obvious once you get here that its a boys club of people waving their [censored] around, outside of a select few posters which takes far too much effort to distinguish anyway.

Sorry for length, that's just my 2 cents from reading this forum for the last month, and finding 0 worthwhile discussion/information outside of the UFC threads, which have been great, but also exist in other 2p2 forums anyway.
