Title: Harness Forums I have posted on.
Post by: Meadow Ford on June 08, 2023, 03:40:29 PM
Ten or so years ago I first posted on Chicago Barn To Wire.
Then the original Horseplop.
Followed up by Harnessphere, In The Sulky, and now this Horseplop.
You post your thoughts and experiences on each, and I will post mine.
Which one is/was the best?

I liked CardsChat which had horses as a small sub forum.

The 2 dweebs that run it - Debi & Tami, chicks with inferiority complexes started to hate the friendship, influence I had over mods, professional poker players, long time members....we're talking 300,000 members and world wide......I was by far the most popular person there within a month and too powerful with 6 months.  I was mid-level as a poker player, there freerolls were easy to accumulate a couple hundred in cash in a month or two.  We could also back other members in tournament, wsop, any game any thing, fractional stuff or large % depending on the player / investor offer...

Still some are my friends, and bereave my passing there.

But if and when I want this place to fucking explode with 5k new active members, 15-20k guest viewers, that's done!  Within a month no problem!   ;D

I've been only on this forum. 

As for Senators poker forum even though I've been playing poker online for about every day for the past fifteen years and watch all kinds of poker content on tv I have never heard of that forum and I've searched for forums. The only place I ever found was 2 plus 2 ...  I just looked up this one and he is correct it is HUGE. If he has contact with people there there are more than enough to give a looksee here.

It'd be my old moniker there they'd (CC friends) say he landed here check it out, we'd have more than 1k probably same day and break that record.

As for the members / guests to get 5k / 20k here, we'd have to start doing fractional investing, like hey...

I handicapped a multi carryover pick 6 (cost of bet $2000) and am offering a 50% stake of $1200 / $1000.  Minimal stake 5%.   

Or could play owner and say hey...

I'm offering $5k, $1k to 5 players to stake in $2mil handicapping tournament ABC, interviewing, dm, call, email me.  50/50 split of winnings.

And no one less than a certain time as a member could participate as a cash recipient unless they have established themselves here and with some winning credentials, some 3rd party cash protection too. I've never seen someone get fucked over there, and it was mostly honor system.

I liked Barn to Wire.
Yes Barn To Wire was good. When it started out it was mostly mid-west horse people talking about mid-west racing. Good backstretch stories and trivia threads. Then the grandstand goofs and basement dwellers took over.

The 'old' horseplop had grandstand goofs and basement dwellers.  SAD BUT TRUE!  Look what the 'new' horseplop currently is!

Judge this for yourselves!

Towards the end most BTW posters myself included had impostors on Horseplop. The impostor would take your post under your screen name from BTW and repost it on HP using your screen name with a few added obscenities and vulgarities.
I tried to register at HP using my BTW name. No go. Was informed that someone (my impostor) was posting under that name.
