Default R.I.P. Red Pro Discussion folder?
Okay, someone's gotta say it.

This folder has been dead dead deadski for more or less 6 months +.

Did they all give up poker?

I think it just didnt get pushed very hard to the pros recently and as such traffic is near-zero. Would be nice to see if they could re-generate some red pro interest before/during the WSOP.

Really, really cool idea, but really, really hard to justify a pro coming in and giving advice for free. Think about it, so many people are getting paid to coach, write books, etc, why give away all that value?

Total get this point. BUT the red pro forum is what drove me initially to lurk the site and return.

This was something unique that PR Forums had to offer over other sites.

Understand why it's been inactive, not sorry that I miss and not sorry to voice it!

Red pro forum in theory was a very good idea, cutting out excess noise/flaming in the threads etc, but if you think about it the Pro's who are willing to post strat for the most part do so already over on 2+2 or they are already attached to training sites which have their own forums so posting in multiple places, while it would be nice for those of us who mainly visit PR, could be more hassle then its worth.

At least that's my opinion why that forum has little to no traffic anymore.

I think it would be great if Barry would keep answering one "Community Question" each month like he did in September. Even if other red pros don't respond, I'm sure the majority of us here would greatly enjoy reading the responses from Barry.

The content is still good. Anyone can learn a lot going through those hands again and again imo.
