gunboat Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 When i joined this site last year there would be many contributions to it. Lately its been poor, no selections entered yesterday and only one or two today. This has to be bad bad news for a site like this!! I had not posted for a few months until recently, i use to post daily. Then when i did people were quick to jump and quote me. Is this the general trend that is ticking people off and the reason very few people are contributing now. comments please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football-Tipper Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Re: What has happened to this site? 17 threads have been either started or continued today so 1 or 2 selections is a tad untrue, What you have to remember also is its School Hols and people do have a life outside PL, So with Hols and kiddies off im sure most forums have a dip this time of the year, An 8/1 shot tipped up in the Newbury thread now 1 of them a day aint bad going :) Remember its not quantity its quality....

Dont forget this section is now split into two ,the systems section is there too.... I have noticed on other sites too any forum i have ever used,now and again a post will come up "whats wrong,somebody do something"...and "this place is the pits lately"...Fact is posters have different posting patterns,people move on to other forums,go on holidays,emigrate and the board will have different cycles.Horse racing itself changes as the months progress... ..The forum will continue:ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussP Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Re: What has happened to this site? Mate, There are 2 contributing factors to it seeming quieter than about a month ago: a) holiday season b) ATR has split in 2 so we now have a systems section too. This would not have happened, had it not been for the growth of ATR. Remember, that the traffic coming through this section alone has grown massively this year. Take my big field handicap thread.....13,500 views on 29th July, over 6 months since it started.....but now over 35,000 views just 3 weeks later.....and people say it's quiet;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive read thru comments here only to stumble across them later on on other forums, websites etc..... I looked at this thread originally and wasnt going to get involved because I, like many others know that this place is booming and can understand that people go on holiday away from this place in the summer months. However, I dont understand this comment you have made. Who are you referring to ???? A lot of people on this forum take time to analyse and select the tips they post on here. Yes, most, people use the RP, timeform etc to help with their form studying but I dont think many copy and paste the analysis. Also, you have freely admitted to reducing the amount of posts you posted because you felt you were being "lynched". Well, look who is talking ....... I'm not having a go here, just dont understand the comment made after previous posts, by yourself, feeling you were slagged or whatever for what you posted.

gunboat Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Re: What has happened to this site? Never said anything about being lynched or slagged off. Just made an observation and posted a thread asking for comments. People not getting into the thread have still added their weight to the debate. And others start to add nonsence to it -- what the guy is going on about me writing boxing reports i haven't a clue what your on about and is nothing to do with this thread anyway.

Sir Puntalot Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Re: What has happened to this site? Utter rubbish, your points have no validity at all. This place has grown and is now busier than ever before, I have the stats to prove it. Many people enjoy this place and have learned an awful lot, myself included. The quality of tipsters (and poker players) on here is second to none, on all sports. If you don't like it, then you don't have to be here. Thread closed.
