Not sure what he/she may be looking at in order to respond. In this, for some of you that have been around for a little while, do you know who actually started this site? Did they pass it on to someone? I figured it may have been someone from The Sportsman Lodge since it is so significantly advertised, etc. on this site.
A guy who's handle was the Gamblingman started this website. We used to have to pay $29 or $39 a year to be a member. Then the Gamblingman started selling lifetime memberships for $99. Most of the guys paid this including me. So he made triple the revenue for a year or two and then he recieved much less revenue and he said he lost interest in it and wanted to sell it. Bill (RIP) wanted to keep it going because most of the guys that read this stayed there. So I believe he and some other partners paid for it from the Gamblingman. I have no idea the price. At that time Sportman's Lodge was usually full nd it was hard to get a room
Before CRT there was a website called Travel and the Single man. It focused on one guys travels to Costa Rica and Cartagena. He was paying $25 for girls in Cartagena. This was about 1997-2000 before the website went down.
CRT was morphed from a site named CRS in 2003. Gamlingman and Tman started CRT in August of 2003. I was a member of CRS prior to CRT. Gamlingman and Tman came to a few CRT parties at a couple of Hooters in Tampa and Miami in the 'early days'. I was wondering if the CRT card was still valid to use at the SL. The SL has mentioned that only one discount 'method' can be used per stay.
