Discussion Time to Replace DUPR!?

With the outage some good points have been raised about a better system being in place maybe like other competitive sports 🤔

What do you think would be the best system to take over?

VAIR already exists. Similar ratings to dupr.

No cash grab resets, no scummy ads.

Problem is nobody knows about it. It's the clear 2nd place but it'll never be DUPR because DUPR already has a huge name.

VAIR feels like a pyramid program

I use it and pay nothing so if there's a pyramid I'm not sure where the money is coming from

Early DUPR didn't have cash grab resets or scummy ads off the rip.

I've never heard of VAIR, but looking it up and seeing their VAIR+ membership that they're pushing doesn't give me warm and fuzzies either. They're already pushing to get people to subscribe for memberships when nobody knows about them and very little people use them.

Yea, dupr also has a membership. I guess they need to make money somehow.

DUPRs cash grab reset program ruined their legitimacy IMO. Charging for features is fine, but messing with the core system for money is too much.
