The service thread probably bogs down the system most. Limit access to that thread either for a small fee or after X number of posts. Too many non-member or 'newbie' members offer nothing to this site except to get the service selections. They aren't around long enough to know the opinion of the scamdicappers.

I for one would not be a member had I not been allowed to lurk for a while and see if I wanted to join, and is this Forum any different than the others..

Answer is yes---different to the point that this is the one I want to belong to...Thus I joined...

Thoroughly enjoy it, use it as a money making tool, therefore; would like to make the following suggestion...I don't have enough computer knowledge to envision the cost of enhancing your computer program---or setting up separate programs to handle your anticipated load...

Whatever the cost is---divide by the Registered members---see how many would contribute--whether its $5-10-15-20-25 et.c per person, to establish what is needed to function properly...

Then, each person can ask themselves "is it worth it to me" to pay this price (???) to belong to the best Forum on the Net...You will lose some, gain some....We are all gamblers, lets take a small portion of our earnings and try to defray cost for the Forum owner..

Another suggestion: Start a payoff pool, ??? per entrant, and pay out 1/2 the monies collected...Do this weekly...It'll add up...We did this at our office, and built up a good Christmas party fund...

I've gotten spoiled here, made some extremely good friends, had some good differences, read some BS, put out some, picked up good info, and despite my terrible record---managed to make money....I ask you this---where else can you get all this from the enjoyment of your own home/office, or you could be out somewhere pissing off your money on other things...Lets all jump in and help..

Whatever figure you come out with---count me in as at least 1 person to put up $....kmann-aka--Kaptain TOF...

Family helps out Family---we are Family here....

i have a cable modem and it was slow and at times could not access the site. i dont bring alot of value to the site but do enjoy chatting and applauding some of the guys i follow like shorty, wayne, and homer. savage and i usually strike up and old school ron bash chat from time to time as well.

[Tony Vegas]

haven't been able to get on and I have cable. sucks!!!!!

[Trotter]

I couldn't get on either and i have the best PC on the market, i want to change my vote to:

Make it private, I would pay BC a yearly fee to always have access.

[BettorsChat]

You guys couldn't get on today?? I didn't have any problem today.

[Blackbeard]

wow, its now 1:03 PM and now I can get on after the games started. I spent hours putting together that blacksheet thread, and I could not access it online or offline. Of course I never printed it out or copied it to a word doc cause I never expected thiss to happen, so all the work I did went down the drain. How about issuing an access number to current members only, the guests and lurkers provide nothing. Myself and others who contribute every day should be able to get on. somethings gotta give, bodog is down as well and they have my money, intenet betting is going through the roof

something has got to be done the last half hour i wasnt able to get on here most of the time and i even rebooted my computer that didnt help and when i came to the site is said"server is too busy try back later"

and it seems to be just before game time but well gl
i guess ur going to have to make it a pay place i guess to keep alot of people out and that will probably knock me out also cause im not going to pay for service that i have and then pay someplace to post them
so good luck

ill post them when i can get on but wont waste alot of time trying to get to this site
its a great site and the only reason i come here is for the others and the info that they put on here

[bob Sharppe]

I vote for making them regsiter

Good luck to everyone today!

Sorry but it WAS Brutal to access the site - My high speed cable let me keep trying and get in several times between 12:00 - 1:00 eastern but I am stubborn as I wanted to see if a particular capper info was posted.

Personally I would pay..but only a small 1 time registration fee like $5. right now i cant even make any bets with bodog down as well, so the point is moot. ****** I would hate to see you go. And Trotter, you owe me a new keyboard after i puked all over it LOL

Are you guys on 56k connections?? If you're on a slow connection then you might have had a problem.

I'm on cable and had no problem. One time the forum stated that it was busy and I reloaded and got right in.
