This thread is regarding the recent removal of vBookie. I think more things could have been done with vBookie instead of completely removing it.
I get that the vBookie section was dead but there was a few members for example AgentJon, Phiten that came on and betted on a majority of the events, I myself started getting into vBookie and betting again to bring it back to "life." I think that it doesn't have to be mainstream sports, throw some golf, tennis, hell even NHL is back...
I'm love sports and I'm sure a lot of other members here do too. I hardly play video games anymore, and if I do its Madden, NBA, or MLB. I'm not into Call Of Duty anymore, I don't want NGU being just gaming and general discussion, I would like to gamble on sporting events and talk about what I love, and I know others do too.
For the love of God (or whatever you believe in) bring vBookie back, and gather ideas that would make it alive again, the Accumulator, I haven't seen one of them since 2011, those got a lot of bets. Promote some of the active old vBookies AgentJon, Phiten, Alex, or even myself, I've caught up on my schooling. I'm just "saddened" that there is no longer a sports area anymore, vBookies gone, Sports discussions gone.
Sincerely, MLB.

This site needs to expand to new areas of discussion, I mean the name is NEXTGENUPDATE! Its a VERY universal name, it can be used for anything. I think Sporting, Television, Movies, and other forms of entertainment need sections too, gaming is great, and I know thats what this site was founded on, but just think of the expansion that could be made!

No offence but you haven't really been around enough to make a valid comment man, vBookie was infact used, just not as much as expected. We needed more Bookie staff to be honest, you can never have too many.

Put an expiration date or limited to how much you can hold every 2 weeks.
Get people to spend.

That is easier said than done. I'm sure Outsider is thinking of something to do and is open to ideas. However I don't think it will be back in time soon or at all. :p
