I can think of a couple of potential causes:
  • The decline of online poker. The poker boom was an unique moment in time. There simply arent the same number smart, young, newly rich people in poker anymore. As the opportunities to make money have dried up the people who are draw to the game are less interesting. At the same time individuals have become less willing to give anything away for free and have made various attempts to monetize their value elsewhere.

  • Too many of new users simply arent as interesting as they used to be. This could be a self-reinforcing decline. BBV4L used to be great and would attract great posters. Then it turned horrible and now it seems to attract horrible posters. That might be a more general issue.

  • Horrible modding. BBV/BBV4L and OOT have certainly been severely hurt by terrible modding. It makes sense that those most willing to do the job for free and those most interested in the small authority it brings. That's often a less than optimal mindset for the position so you end up with people like that scammer that used to rule OOT. Modding should be more about letting the conversation flow and fun people be funny and less about controlling it. Free Ed Furlong.

  • We've all grown old and boring.

but I have no idea how much of a factor they are and am without a doubt missing many things.
OOT has actually turned into who can try and post the wittiest comment first. it usually takes about 200 posts before it gets there.

Just look at this thread and you know why 2p2 is dead.

I started reading in 2005 or so and it was heaven for people trying to learn poker. All the forums were filled with valuable and interesting information. You would learn something new in every 2nd thread.

Take a look at the strategy forums now. A lot of the forums do not have an online hand (lol live donks) on the first 2 pages. Or just take a look at the posters in this thread. 30.000 posts and still losing micro stakes donks (or "live players") who did not make a meaningful contribution which any winning poker player cared about in the last 3 years.

At some point 2p2 must have realized that having a forum with a lot of knowledgable posters and a lot of great information is really bad for them.

Which winning reg would buy an outdated book from a random micro stakes loser? Who would fall for all these coaching scams they are advertising? You need people who do not have a clue about poker to sell these crap products. And this forum produced exactly the opposite.

So they tried to get rid of all the good information and the good players and instead tried to appeal to spammers which would produce 30.000 zero content posts while donking off their money in the local 1/2 live game so they can call themselves poker players.

The mods now need to protect all these donks which produce all these posts for free and which buy their **** products from the few remaining solid players, so they wont be confronted with any real poker content. Therefore the good players get frustrated and keep leaving while the spammers take over the forum.

Ok, now you can post some funny pictures and go read professional no-limit hold'em again while I crush the games.

I highly doubt anyone with less than three hundred posts knows anything about what they are saying.

Way to draw attention to yourself as a previously banned tool.

If stating a truth in response to a thread question hurts peoples feelings perhaps there is an issue that may need to be addressed?

Your location states you are taking it in the ass and you have the nerve to call someone else a tool.

I'm curious what happened here - did you have this post ready to go, and then when nobody's feelings were hurt in an hour and a half, you couldn't wait any longer and just posted it anyway?
