Ark your situation with CR DID NOT fall on deaf ears.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that has followed this matter with great interest.
As for the leak by a CAP member, I remind you that I had made accidently posted in the public area some things that were meant for the private (I had more than one window open and got confused as to which I was responding).
That stayed up for at least 5 min time in which case anybody could have had access. And I feel very responsible.
as to CR, everybody I talked with has been having a bad month with them, and in fact in my case, things have not been very good for some time now, as I have in years past made the majority of my income from one casino; that being Zodiac.
Now you want to talk coincidence; I made a post stating I was tired of carrying non-producing sister-sites and that very month Zodiac dropped to making near nothing (and has never recovered, although this month it looks promising for a change) but the other properties starting making money. But the next month, and ever since then, my main money is made at SIL. go figure?
Now during this dry spell for Zodiac which lasted about 4 months, I’m starting to think “what the hell is going on? I’ve sent them the majority of my traffic for near on 3 years and they drop off the map like that?”
I don’t have an answer for these things, but I’m inclined to think … no, I know that CR’s support needed major overhaul from some situations to which I was able to follow the entire process. And I wasn’t very impressed. And I wrote Brent telling him so; and he later reported back that they were addressing some matters I’d wrote about:
…. and that’s about the last I’ve heard about it.
So I’ve no idea what was done, if anything, but you can bet that any retention hopes prior to a change of attitude by the support people; will be few and far between.
In other words anybody that has already been turned off by CR, probably isn’t going back. Nobody more than myself wishes that statement false; but I think it has to be given some merit.
Another thing ; and I’ve written Brent; is ecogra. They’re not approved.
Whether or not ecogra is all that it claims, or not; remains to be seen IMHO. But from players perspective, they’re likely going to take what is perceived to be their best chance at a fair shake; so that might also be hurting CR right now.
I’ve been in your situation more than once and can say that I’ve had to take my foot out of my mouth at least one of those times, so don’t give up all hope just yet.
***************
to return to my original thought about not falling on deaf ears; your situation certainly has been a deciding factor for me when I add into the equation all of the above concerns I mentioned; as to how much space they are currently getting.
And yes I found it rather strange that I wasn’t climbing to greater heights as time carried on; and that more than anything has influenced the amount of space I’ve given them (currently).
I’m neither condemning nor cheering CR at this point in time; but am rather to be quite frank; treading cautiously to see what the near future will reveal and I hope it will give me some hints on how to proceed in respect to my relationship with CR.
I like Brent and I hope it is promising. But my decision will ultimately be financially based, as it should be.
I hope the best for you Ark and I hope the future proves that CR didn’t just turn off your income; and that instead you’re in here eating crow (as I know you’d be big enough to do) some time in Feb or March to tell us how Garth had some merit to his statements because you were still seeing some decent income.
I hope I’m here with a big serving for me as well.
