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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

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

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

I would rather have that too.

I don't care as much as some other posters, but I don't really like that this looks like a "normal" forum either.

I mean, you have a forum on your site and everybody can judge for himself if it's biased or not, but they know that it's the bw forum. This here looks more like a 2+2 forum... the clue is, that it isn't really, or is it?

If I would run this side I would let the affiliates where they belong, in the classified ads and keep the whole forums affiliate free and non-commercial.

I like the bonuswhores site, but when I want information from them I can go to their site/forums, so I don't really see the point in this forum except for $$$

The next day pokersites sponsor the strategy forums or what?

[thomastem]

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.)

[PrincipalSkinner]

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 . . .
