fgators thread, input plz

Infamous fgators wants to post his graph of 4 million hands, which would basically be legendary.

In previous threads, people have offered him money for it.

In this thread he is trying to collect $400 to send the database because people are willing to pay for it.

I interjected that this sets a bad precedence of people selling their databases in bbv and making a lot of money off of that type of thing and it's not something I wanted to see in bbv. I told ppl to stop offering money and that if fgators wanted to donate the $400 to charity I would be willing to collect but otherwise no dice.

People want to make an exception in the thread based on the projected awesomeness of this graph (tbh, I am pretty excited to see this graph too).

I thought I'd post it to hear some mod/admin thoughts on this.

This is 100% correct though. We won't allow stuff because of our ties to 2p2 the company, they should take it elsewhere. I wish some folks from BBV4L would do this.

[Gildwulf]

he was talking about a different SUBFORUM on 2p2, which hra encouraged (and apologized for so I'm not super mad or anything)

[Dids]

Oh christ, I assumed they were talking about forums off 2p2.

THAT IS JUST DUMB.

WTF.

Fwiw- I'd allow it just to see Fgators get the owning he's got coming to him.

I think it's pretty standard to sell PT databases in Strat forum low content threads.

usually it is something like 'hey if you want a database, pm me and we can discuss', not collecting bids actively in a forum

[Gildwulf]

meh i think this is an ok compromise without backing down

if you send me proof of who's pledged so far in a pm, i'll cover the remainder if they back out and if you post all the graphs, you got my word

just do the rest by pm (and not other forums), please
