I get your point: the board has rules and Todd does not regularly monitor or enforce them.

It may be that he really doesn't give two shits about this cesspool, favoring his other poker-related board.

I know what: use a small portion of the money you got from the broken arm incident to buy the site from Todd: I am certain he'd sell; hell, EVERYTHING is for sale if the price is right.

Send him a PM offering to buy him out: offer a trifling couple grand, he'll probably snap it up.

You too can have the powers of a modern day god; make your brother and mother co-moderators with you so that nothing against the rules stays up for long.

Then you can watch all the haters flee, all of them searching for a new hot tub to shit in.

Better yet, act preemptively: think how satisfying it will be to BAN Robert, the hound and any of the others who have annoyed, insulted and vexed you.

Think now you'll enjoy the peace and quiet of edifying, reasonably toned discussions of blackjack with even-tempered, respectful fellow posters.

It COULD happen...make it so!

Hey, MrV, I had the same thought awhile back, but Todd made it clear he wasn't selling. The thing is, if and when I were to buy it, I wouldn't announce it and the terms of the purchase would preclude Todd mentioning that I bought it. I have enough folks in my six degrees of separation (brother-in-law is a PI doing 90% online work; nephew is an online-forensics major) that I'm relatively confident I could ID half the people on here pretty quickly. That's what I was told -- 50/50 I could ID each poster without killing myself. That's motive enough for me to check in with Todd each year to see if he wants to sell.

But Todd has this anti-doxing attitude, so he likely will never sell to me. I'd dox everyone. LOL. Hell, I'd treat it like the Pentagon Papers. You'd show up in the Washington Post. Like I always say, it's not blackmail. It's information brokerage.
