Reason for dying forum? - Online Gambling Forum

What do you think the reason for forum dying? Whether the casinos offer good bonuses anymore or is the reason just members unactive? I´ve tried my best to keep forum alive but I just have not found good bonuses.

Bonuses are getting worse

We should not let this die. This forum and site is great and I too will do everything I can to keep this alive. But the things are out of normal users hand, like me. Someone mentioned in some post I don't remember that the Monthly bonuses still is for march 2009. This is not the first time. Where is Winnergambling? How new users could register if there is constantly outdated information?

I agree, I think the Monthly's need updating because they are the lifeblood of the site. With them kept up to date people are encouraged to post them on the monthly topic, when that happens we have a continual stream of posts to keep this place going.

There's just not enough action on the bonus front. I kind of understand the non-updates if $20 reloads are all there is to update.

I also egree that this is a good forum and I will put my small effort to keep this site alive. It's true that the monthly bonus table should be uptaded in the beginninng of every month. Also below 100 best casino bonuses it says that there will be a "fully" list of profitable casino bonuses (or something like that). This text have been there many months, but no list so far.

edit: It's true that the monthly bonus table should be uptaded in the beginninng of every month or then removed. Because there is not so many (if any) good monthly reloads it could be a good idea to just have monthly bonus thread where good monthly bonuses would be listed.

I'll take the blame about lack of updates in last ~month. I have been exxxxxxtra busy with personal stuff and that's why the site has not gotten enough attention.

However, in the background we have done last two months some investments/background work that should bring random traffic up after a few months a bit. I am expecting larger busyness when again euro football seasons etc. start in August-September. Summertime is always "off-season" in gambling in general.

Also we are discussing about some private promo stuff like private small buy-in poker tourneys etc. all the time with sites so hopefully we have some news about those soon.

Many site updates should be done during next ~week, like updates to sports betting bonuses, a few casino bonus updates, monthly list etc.

So sorry about some "off-time" in updates etc., things should be picking up a bit in the near future overall.

Also I agree with this. I am contemplating of removing the monthly list from the site and just focus on monthlies in the forum thread.

There are a couple of reasons why a thread only could be enough:

1. There are not a huge amount of very good public reloads, so I don't think they "need" their own page - one can easily collect them from a monthly reload discussion thread.

2. Updating monthlies to site takes time from other things like private promos etc. The less the amount of time that goes to site updates -> the more the amount of time we have (webiste team) to arrange other good stuff for our users.

3. Having reloads in a thread on the forum and not on the site encourages people to register to forum and take part to discussion more -> more discussion to forum.

4. Many reloads are not published in the beginning of the month, but those reloads pop-up in the middle of the month many times for a couple of days or so, so the compiled list in the beginning of the month is not completely up-to-date like forum thread anyway.

I am arranging a poll about this to the Casino section of the forum now.
