Default Lose the Money Transfers forum?

It seems to me like it causes a lot of hassle and threatens to bring a bad name to our site. I don't see any benefit of the forum to make it worthwhile having.

Just my 2p

We all discussed this in the mod forum already. All the mods were in favour of getting rid of the transfer section because of the amount of headaches it has caused. It does bring a lot of extra traffic to the site though so KidRed doesnt want it gone (which to be honest I can understand).

Sorry guys, its not going anywhere.

It brings alot of extra traffic but the majority of them are either a) scamming scumbags or b) get scammed by scumbags and probably never return. Does he make much money through this?

Surely he'd rather attract high volume decent poker players who click on his affiliate links and generate him profit whilst also improving the standard of posts on the forum and therefore attracting more posters.

Obviously I suck at business.

if u wanna trade:

sign up to PFO

get your post count up

contact some users privately

make a smart transaction

agreed that forum is a piece of garbage. Just disappointing to see so many ppl trying to make a quick buck by effing some1. Would be nice if there was some type of escrow service.

The money he earns is from website hits, the more hits the more he can charge advertisers, simple as that. Good players, bad players, makes no difference. The advertisers want quantity, not quality.

Quality leads to more posters which = more money.

The adverts don't care if its Tom Dwan looking over the link for half a second or if it's Alex.
