This is obviously a BW only forum, this being the case please take the talk to the BW site, and dont waste our time at 2+2.


All bonus related issues should still be posted in the "Internet Gambling" section....or the "zoo"

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

dude, buy more classifieds.

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

The zoo wastes time at 2+2 cause it is so clogged with garbage questions about reload bonuses. BW is paying to advertise their site, and as a side effect, taking some of the idiot-load off the zoo.

This is a fine idea for the forums.

This forum is weak. I will be using the Zoo.

I'm with ya. wtf, a forum just for BW...?! So 2+2 basically sold BW an advertising space consisting of an entire forum section.

Can you point me to "The Zoo"?

The "Zoo" = the Internet forum here at 2+2, the one just above Internet Bonuses on the left of your screen prolly.

Think of it like a normal forum split, except in this case, we own the advertising and do the moderation. I fail to understand your problem here DV. This forum is now the appropriate place for bonus discussion.

Maybe for some, Id rather have it all in the zoo. Especially since this is a biased forum. I also liked the computer chat in the zoo, but that wasnt really gambling, so I didnt mind a new forum.

so basically now "internet gambling" isnt about poker strategy, not about bonuses and not about tech, so what is it?

Some people like boutiques, I like one stop shopping. Ill stick to the zoo..... Hope others do too.

There are plenty of places to advertise on 2+2 without canibalizing good info from a great forum

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

Wow I read these posts and figured I need to chime in.

I remember a time before BW was up and running. Information came into the Zoo but so did false information on bonus opportunities. We did not have any kind of math on what the bonus was worth per hour ETC.

Now a forum is created specific for bonus opportunities without the "Is Party down?" clutter and people bitch? Further those that want to know if Party is down no longer have to wade through new site or reload bonus posts, and yet they bitch?

Jek and I have had our differences in the past but to criticize the fact the BW is paying for this forum both with $$$ and the gathering of profitable information for the readers is an indicator to how intelligent some of our posters are.

Now to you Mr. Jek. The title of this site is "Internet Bonuses" I expect to find new site and reload bonuses as well as Casino and Sportbook bonuses as these fall under that heading.

In short if you keep this forum in the same spirit as you started BW (Find ways for your readers to profit) then this is great for intelligent people that like money and Me and my critters got your back. (No matter how much you dislike my split personalities.)

Here's what the Zoo is still about:
Softness of games at poker sites
where to find certain games/limits
bots
conspiracy theories
party/stars etc mods
Party's stance on PokerEdge, GameTime+, PTracker, etc
New sites coming out
Old sites going out of business
legal issues pertaining to online poker

There're still plenty of things to discuss in the Zoo. That's part of the reason for the split. The Zoo is so busy, a split only makes sense.

You can still have one shop bonus shopping, here. The only thing campaigning for everyone to post bonuses in the Zoo is going to do, is slowdown the split.

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

Actually the correct title of this forum, as shown on the sticky at the top of the page, is "bonuswhores.com internet bonuses"

And therein lies the question/problem. Is this just an advertising site disguised as a forum, or is it a legitimate open forum where ALL bonuses, etc. can be discussed, not just those from which BW stands to profit?

THAT is the question . . .

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

Skinner,

As poker players we look for betting patterns.

2+2's pattern is profitable content for the reader.

BW has displayed info on their site for the reader with NO requirement that they profit in return.

My read on this hand is that we will be able to discuss any profitable bonuses that we want.

As I mentioned over in the Zoo, the above title is too long. If we can come up something in < 24 characters that will fit, I'll be happy to take that up with Chuck.

We paid a good deal of money to sponsor this forum, and expect a huge portion of the topics discussed to be neutral to BW. However, we are not going to facilliate the advertising of our competitors, if they want you to know about something, it's their job to tell you themselves. If you want to talk about their offers, they have their own forums.

Based on (always a ) Jek's last post, I believe that you have lost this hand.

Dont you realize the irony of what you just said??

Why not just go to BW.com?

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

The problem here is that this forum is biased.

When you say things like "This forum is now the appropriate place for bonus discussion.",it implies that ALL bonus discussion is supposed to go in this forum.

Which is fine I guess if 2+2 wanted to restrict bonus discussion to not include ALL bonus discussion.

Bottom Line-

If ALL bonus discussion is not allowed in this forum,you shouldn't be implying that this is the apropriate forum on 2+2 for bonus discussion to take place.

Just my opinion

Re: Please Do Not Use This Forum!
 

So in effect, this means that all over 2+2, Bonuswhores have a monopoly on any of the bonuses we talk about. If we post it anywhere else, it will get moved here, and if we post it here, it will get deleted. I find it very sad, especially when bonuses like Granny Mae's (to mods: you don't have to delete my post BTW, the bonus is over now), and many more have helped me so much, that we are now not allowed to tell people where to get the best deal. I appreciate that bonuswhores is a company, and does want to maximise its profit, and I can't really blame it for wanting to do this, and likewise for 2+2, but I still think it is a shame. This is nothing personal of course, just my feelings.

PS you say that all your competitors have forums, well, don't you have your own? Why do you need to buy this one?

i tthink this is a valid question/issue that should be taken up in another thread at another time. there is merit to the statment, but i am sure jek has a fair answer to this.


>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>



regarding the topic of this thread. here is my .02

it seems like some of the objections are based on the fact that this new forum has been placed in the center of the "real" forums.

if i were jek, i would rather have a left bar link that more resembles the merchandise icons. i think if this were moved to it's own area, and can even be made red and bigger, that may make both sides happy. this would eliminate the grey area of the forum looking non-commercial, yet pay jek off by moving his link to the top and make it bigger and bolder.

i dunno. just a thought

sweet a forum devoted to whiny little bitches who don't know how to play poker and cry when empire closes their accounts on them or when a bonus requires too much actual poker playing to clear. the quality of 2+2 just dropped severely for giving in to this stupid of an idea. [censored] off bonus whores.

You forgot the whining about the posting of casino bonuses that are too easy to clear, and thus shouldn't be posted because they'll ruin them when everyone finds out.

I agree some of the people are whiny, but smart whores can make thousands a month so I don't see why you have a problem.

BTW, my poker game is fine. Of course my main focus is improving my game and moving up. I also see no reason why I shouldn't add 100-200% -- sometimes more -- compared to what I make with rakeback, though if that makes me a whiny bitch, so be it. All I'm interested in is maximizing my income.

I think it's quite moronic that people who clearly understand EV evaluations fail to see why many players put in time so that they are always clearing a good bonus.
