Is the staking forum like this? Absolutely not. Because its a little ridiculous. over half the coaching advice threads have been moved to this thread? why not just leave them where they are and let people discuss what they want to , with who they want to, in their own thread, pertaining to them and their situation. now if somebody wants to coach me. they have to read through an entire thread that doesn't pertain to me at all.
there tend to be only a few new posts in this thread each day. it's my understanding (from doing so myself and from hearing from lots of other coaches on here as well) that many coaches just check the new posts each day to see if anyone is looking for someone in their field. once you've read the thread it becomes pretty easy to keep up as 2p2 will tell you there are X unread posts or whatever.
if everyone's individual posts stayed that way, it would crowd up the forum pretty quickly and then people would be getting bumped off the front page and even off the first few. then they would bump stuff every few days saying 'anyone? please respond! etc etc' and it becomes a bumping war and people vying for attention. this was one of the issues with the forum before we made some changes a few months back, and it was definitely an issue we considered! it seems like there's never a perfect solution, unfortunately. are you aware of the poker coach listings forum (on the left menu bar it's listed right under this forum)? you can search out coaches who coach your specific stakes, and pm them or post in their threads asking for info. it should hopefully be a pretty easy way to get in contact with folks.
good luck,
