    NWP Associated Forums Power Rankings for July 27, 2012 ***Reposted from DD***

    NWP Associated Forums Power Rankings for July 27, 2012
    1) Poker Fraud Alert.

    Love Todd or hate him, one thing you have to give the man, is he runs a tight ship. PFA has to be the biggest launch of any of the forums since NWP closed shop. A professional radio show, an active chat, an active user base. For a while, it looked like it was going to have a rough time establishing itself, as PFA and DD were fighting over the same group of people for their core posters. But.. then DD 2.0 launched, and the rest is history.

    Outlook: Future is looking bright for PFA. It appears to have permanently taken the crown from DD as the heir to NWP.

    2) Donk Down 2.0

    Donk Down's rankings have been all over the map, since the break up of NWP. It looked in dire shape a few times.. when Boris Launched, when TydePoker 1.0 launched, and of course, when PFA launched. But things were never as bleak, as when DD 2.0 launched, and 99% of the userbase got shut out. That was the absolute Nadir of the site, and through the WSOP, when a poker gossip site like this should be at it's most active, it was an absolute ghost town. After hitting absolute Rock Bottom, things have been looking up a bit. DD Radio has had some absolute block buster guests like Jen Harmon and Daniel Negraneu. SryslySirus has emerged as an MVP member of team DD, a very savvy signing by Micon. They had their first legit multipage thread since the launch of 2.0 with the Raw Wolf scandal. But things are still looking dark. DD's 2nd place ranking has more to do with the collapse of other sites, rather than the health of DD. What DD really needs to do is attract some of the old school members, who got chased away in NWP's descent into degeneracy. And most of all, Micon just needs to move past the Druff/Brandon drama, and make a new, post-Druff identity.

    Outlook: The patients condition has been upgraded from Critical, to stable, but things are still touch and go. I am cautiously optimistic.

    3) Skatz (pronounced Skatez) Poker. After reaching an unprecedented height of 2nd on the power rankings with the DD 2.0 implosion, skatz has not been able to keep the momentum going. For a while, 408 mike, and the legend himself, Jewdonk, were bringing the hits to Skatz. But skatz management was not able to come to terms with Jewdonk for a long term contract. But, worse than that, PFA was able to sign 408 right under skatz's feet, and now his near exclusive posting on PFA has simultaneously crippled Skatz and boosted PFA's already solid content. A shrewd signing by Druff, indeed. Skatz is still chugging along, with its baseline amount of in jokes and circle jerking, but any hopes it had of moving out of the minors left with Marty and 408

    Outlook: Skatz is the cockroach of the NWP associated forums. Never thriving, but surviving.


    4) Boris Poker.

    Not much to say on that front, Boris has been ghosttowned for quite a while. There was a time when Boris looked like it was going to take the crown, as the heir of NWP, but attrition and alienation of members with no new members joining have taken their toll. Still good for the occasional Dick Girl trip report, it's a shell of it's former glory.

    Outlook: Permafrost has set in. It would take a miracle to thaw, at this point.

    5) Vegas Poker Radio (formerly Venom Poker)

    Was looking like a dark horse to establish itself as a strong niche site. But then, somehow the place got infected with viruses, and people's computers stopped working. That kind of thing can kill a fledgling enterprise.

    Outlook: VPR is a good buy low right now. though this was a catastrophic set back for them, they have a talented group of members at their helm, I think they can make a rebound, if they are committed to it.





    Note: There is talk that another forum is going to toss it's hat into the room. Sooner rather than later. I can't really comment on it, much less rank it, until it's launched. But let me just say this.. fasten your seatbelts, mother fuckers
