In the early days of online gambling there was a board called Bettors World that was THE place where everyone from sportsbook workers in Costa Rica to big name handicappers to the average Joe gambler congregated. It had tons of traffic and was swimming in ad money from various online sportsbooks and casinos.
Long story short the owner of Bettors World did a bunch of shit to piss off all the posters, including heavily promoting a sportsbook that was a huge scam and didn't like to pay winners, and all those posters migrated to other forums that were starting to appear on the scene. Bettors World never recovered, and now is just a shell of it's former self, while the boards that got the influx of new posters looking for a home are still prospering to this day. Just saying...
