Bump. I see no reason not to replace the dead links in 'Best of 2p2'.
It is still very fun to read these threads (the latter 2 in particular) and see the whole investigation unfold from initial allegations over statistical evidence and the infamous POTRIPPER ten-high call to the incredible IP-address-matching by Nat Arem/Snagglepuss/Adanthar (?). Are there any better cliffnotes out there than the big UB thread?

Really shouldn't suggest an own thread but in reality this is not my own, it's a collection of threads connected to poker history:

How about removing the forum, or letting it be internalized somewhere? Looks kind of bad having a forum that isn't updated up front. Many hopeful new members going there, and then they are like WTF.

Another possibility would of course be letting people post directly in the forum, but then it probably should be quite heavily moderated...

Must've missed this before; I think it's fixed now.

No worries about suggesting your own, I think that's excellent for the forum. I don't think just a link makes sense or does it justice, though; I'd rather have the whole thread there. If I move it, you wouldn't be able to post in it anymore and would have to PM me updates. And I expect you'd like it to stay in NVG anyway. Instead, I could copy it and then copy new posts into it once in a while if you want to bump this thread when it could use updating. What do you think?

Remove, wat? Yes, it could use some new links, but I can't see any reason to kill it. I'm afraid, though, letting everyone post in it would be a disaster.

I bumped the mod forum thread about this a couple weeks ago, and I see that got us a few updates. I'd encourage those of you who don't see any links from your favourite forums to ask the mods of said forums to start a thread, or suggest to the mods some links you'd like to see added to an existing thread. It really makes the most sense for this stuff to come from the mods of the individual forums - they'll know much better than I what the best stuff is in their own forums. What I mean is that posters' suggestions are great, but they should be going to the forum mods in addition to (or instead of) this thread.

I don't think either of these are linked in the Best Of forum:

adsman's "On Changing Your Life" from EDF

crashwhips' "Poker and Life" from PLO

Also, most of the links ITT haven't been added yet. The problem is, I'm not going to have the time to look at them all. More importantly, I wouldn't be a good judge of what threads qualify for "best of" in forums I don't read. My suggestion would be to ask the moderator(s) of the forum(s) in question to add them to the Best of 2p2 forum. I'm going to post in the Mod forum requesting that people look through this thread and add the good stuff.

The above doesn't apply to 2+2 party trip reports; go ahead and post those here and I'll add the good ones.
I don't think this post ever got me any links, but with this year's 2+2 party announced recently, I decided to dig some up myself and update the thread. However, some years seem pretty sparse - there's got to be some more trip reports or other 2+2 party threads of interest out there. Anyone? Bueller?

If they haven't been added yet, make the suggestion to the mod(s) of the forum(s) in question.

In due time it will be among the best of 2+2, if Bobo continues to update!

This kind of golden threads makes us thrive.

I did not realize the best of two plus two sub forum existed and I have been visiting two plus two forums for over a decade. just saying. and i’m Saying it because I think people should be spending time there.

I think it’s important for the future of poker.
