Do you know Berrysi i was going to say that. Well i wasn't but thats what i was thinking. I have looked at a few BTBs in the past and you want too see how it started but you can't as the rosters and such are totally different. 100% agree with him here

I'm pretty sure if they want to read from the start, they get the info they seek from reading the first couple of shows.

I think its simply a case of if a title change or debut happens in second show and is then added to first post info, a new reader will have that title change or debut spoiled. I think its common sense to post updated rosters and champions after the events rather than before, but saying that it took me a while to realize such.

Yea, I don't see that way. But that's difference of opinion of course.

What makes a booker thread popular in your opinion? How many people think it is the amount of replies or the amount of views? I mean along as you are getting views people are reading although they are not replying.

Eh, in my opinion, "popularity" in BTB is measured by the core fanbase. Views don't really mean people read a BTB. On another similar note, I've noticed people quitting because lack of reviews etc. Personally, I think that that is kind of retarded. People shouldn't just expect for their BTB's to be responded to right away, without really working from it. They need to work from the ground up, as almost every "established" booker has done.

Also, on a completely different topic, has anybody else gotten those PM's from people advertising a recent show or something? I understand some people ask to be PM'ed so that they can review that persons show, but messaging random people advertising your shows seems a bit stupid and annoying to me.

I agree, people shouldn't quit because of lack of reviews. The most important factor for a booker is to enjoy their own writing.

It's died down at the moment but yes, people do send me PM's asking for reviews and it's annoying. Either blank them completely or PM them back and tell them to stop asking for reviews.

As for people advertising, they should use the BTB Advertisement Thread as that is what it's there for. Advertising via PM is completely unneccessary.

EDIT: What a coincidence! At the EXACT point that I posted this reply, I got a PM from a user, asking for a review!!!

I think it is stupid if people quit because of lack of reviews.

Is there away you can post your show straight into WF without having to format the stuff and that. I have seen this asked plenty of times before but have never got an answer which i believe is correct. When you do it, it always seem to make the font weird and makes spacing between sentences bigger and such
