There is masses of other stuff though Ray
 

39 threads on the rail have been posted on since Xmas, some will be of interest some won't be

lots of diaries to dip into, some will be of interest some won't be

discussions on politics, religion, race, tv programmes, films, chess, ebola all sorts of stuff

staking threads (admittedly quieter)

hands to analyse (admittedly quieter)

all the sports threads not related to betting


its not as if tikay and i are posting, pushing and promoting tft at the exclusion of everything else, we're not

I often used to post separate threads in the betting section

However they just die so quickly maybe because they were dull im not sure but know i just post them in tft (tbf a hell of a lot of stuff i post in there is ignored probably rightly so)

For me it kind of feels like it's changed from Blonde Poker Forum to Tips for Tikay forum. I know there is other stuff going on but just from my pov it feels like a lot of what I enjoyed about blonde has gone know, either directly or indirectly due to that thread. The issue with that then becomes unless you are active all day you come back to 20-30 pages if you've been afk for sometimes less than even 24 hours, and I can't say for others but I just skip that and read the last page or two at most. You could say well why don't you just read the 20-30 pages then, well I could do that but then when it turns out all 30 pages are about bets to place that I've already missed it's a total waste of my time; I could though just have easily missed a discussion on different topics that have no relation to sports betting at all

For example I was really surprised at the lack of a Merry Xmas thread, that's definitely the 1st year I've been on here that there wasn't a thread with a lot of posts in it by Xmas day, I wasn't surprised though to see some Merry Xmas comments in TFT, I wonder how many blondes just completely missed that though.

It's very clear to see that TFT is an extremely successful thread, but I just wonder at what cost to the overall forum.

Maybe I'm just talking bollocks though and it's just me.

PS I'm not trying to make this a smack in the face to people like Tighty and Mere etc who I know put in a ton of work on that thread and are doing so because they believe it's for the good of blonde, this is just my opinion on the current state of things.


Same goes for me too.

Yeh gotta agree.

The fact that by far the most viewed, replied to, busiest thread on the "Blonde Poker Forum" is a thread that has nothing to do with poker whatsoever is very strange.

There's also two or three really blatant trolls going about posting in every thread that spoil a lot of it for me. I don't post in lots of these threads because I just don't want to get involved in it. A healthy debate quickly turns into a row which turns into a slanging match. Great to rail and see the handbags being thrown, but post and get involved? No chance.

Can see why people think Tft takesover the betting section (i agree it does a lot of the time)

Do not see how that stops people discussing poker in the poker section?

The reason a betting thread has more posts than any other is simple, because there are so many new topics to talk about every day.

Yesterday: Premier League football, racing at Ascot and darts semi finals.

Today: NFL playoffs, darts final and a Celeb Big Brother eviction.

It is like thousands of threads rolled into one.

think it just mirrors the gaming world in 2015 compared to 2008.  Poker is relatively dying and sports betting is booming.

and the betting board, apart from tft, is very active

10 threads posted on today

40 since Xmas

Tft is dominating the betting board less than it has for two years

today you could discuss, MMA, Darts, NFL, fantasy leagues, tips, boxing, dogs, celeb big brother on seperate threads on that board

have a sport you are interested in? there will be a thread and someone to discuss it with


perception, judging from comments here, is VERY different from the reality

And that's the problem.

Yes but I for one can't be arsed to wade through 30 pages of stuff I have no interest in on the off chance that there might be one that I am interested in.

so find the thread for any sport you are interested in

most sports have active discussions on that board, aside from the tips thread

the sports discussion board is much more than that one thread

People assume all the content is in there, its not. Lts of sports and events and clubs have threads dedicated to them

Could be wrong but the vast majority of posters in tft would not even be serious poker players

A very popular thread attracting posters all the time is surely a good thing

I think the decline in recreational poker has much to answer for.  The game has become hard to beat even at the lower levels so even the players who liked to splash and dash and enjoy banter no longer post. 


I think TfT is also on the decline, the next move might be an actual gambling forum.  I could see this appealling to a number of people.  I have been put of gambling forums in the past though as you get some utter headbangers on them.  The Betfair forum for example just makes my eyes bleed.
