not sure what your intentions were when you originally started this thread. regardless of if they were good (just breaking balls) or bad (trying to mock guys), i dont take myself too seriously and i can handle props, jokes, and criticism equally well, so its all good.
but your list is outdated if im on it, because i developed a college football/bball service way back in april. and not a damn bit ashamed to say it, based on the work that ive put in over the past years, along with the work ive put in this offseason to prepare for college football. obviously there are some cynics, and you might be one of them, but all that did was inspire me to work harder and develop a site i could be proud of. show me another service thats willing to put together page after page of preseason previews. the bullshit scammers and touts that are out there certainly arent willing to put in the time ive been willing to (and have) put in. never once have i looked to promote my site. jack knows that and i respect his rules here. but anyone who has visited would be hard-pressed to say that its not a legit and/or professional site. because i wouldnt have it any other way. everything i posted here, i tried to make as thorough and informative as possible. and i took the same approach with my site. im still going to post here the same way fletcher does. he doesnt go out of his way to promote, nor will i. results and reputation speak for themselves.
look man, i know there are a lot of unscrupulous people in the industry. you know that. a lot of people know it. its no secret. but for christ sake, it should be pretty obvious by now that ive never been throwing darts and that i maybe know just a little bit about the game. i knew going in that there were a lot of fu.ckheads in the industry. but ive welcomed the challenge to stand apart with class. the amount of touts and scams out there is not gonna change anytime soon. hell, there will be more fly-by-night services coming soon im sure. theyre definitely out there. im not telling you anything you dont already know.
like i said, ive got no problem with your poll, regardless of your intentions. but show me where ive ever asked anyone "who wants to follow", or when ive been banned by admin, or bashed respected cappers, or touted multiple GOW and GOY? im not going to give the "dont paint all service with one brush" cliche.
all im saying is dont go out of your way to mention me when i dont fit anywhere near the criteria of what you mentioned, or what touts do. paint with a broad brush if youd like. just dont mention someone specifically unless they fit your criteria or unless they dont have a clue about what theyre doing..... and dont mention them if that ship has already sailed
btw- how did sun tzu end up on your list? he's a solid capper that said maybe 1,000 words combined in all of his forum posts that have his plays included. you might want to re-evaluate your candidates. btw- i voted for garm, lol.
