Except…people paid a premium subscription to the former publisher of this site, TK.
What is the title of the section of the forums that people pay money to be able to access? The Premium content? Yep its called inside scoop.
None of that suggests that the information on there would require triple verification. My point then, and now, is that TK never provided actual inside information on there or in his premium articles. I stated in a thread way back then that I subscribed so I had access to the premium board where other actual insiders provides real scoops. So I wrote in a thread that his articles lacked any insight and he was very often scooped by others on his premium board. And that that was the real reason to subscribe. Not anything he provided. Given the thin skin that others have suggested, I was permabanned. Now could I have begged him to let me back on? Sure. But I am not begging a guy that I dont respect to let me on the board. That what he wanted. So he could stoke his flagging ego fire. Petulant little toad face that he is.
So sure triple verify but don't charge people a fee for information that is fully vetted and already published on page 1 sports section of the CR Gazatte.
