I am a member at a gambling forum that charges a small monthly fee.
You would be amazed at how little BS goes on.
Members join to get picks/info from the minority that post plays. Members aren't paying the fee to post, they pay the fee to get the advice/knowledge of others
Doesn't take long to figure out who to follow.
Of course, there no pictures of half naked girls, no off topic threads, no discussion. Just picks on games.
It is wonderful if you want picks/advice and are not worried about discussion.
Those that want discussion and/or daily interaction probably would not like that sort of forum.
My point is that type of website/ forum does exist already. Im not sure that business model would work for what Pregame wants to do - more of a marketing-type of forum.
