Internet Bonus forum

[Mike Haven]

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.

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.

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?

We could team up to become a SUPERMOD!

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.

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.

I have not heard from them since this broke so I will try and get an answer quickly.
