Title: blonde have come a long way Post by: tikay on February 03, 2007, 11:53:46 AM 2 years ago, we did our first ever "Live Update", how things have changed - but look at some of those names, the same guys still doing it!
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=2.0 Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: barhell on February 03, 2007, 11:57:22 AM Somethings remain constant look at the second post ;scarymoment;
Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: AndrewT on February 03, 2007, 12:07:16 PM And it only took eight posts for the first bok.
Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: Royal Flush on February 03, 2007, 12:07:35 PM First post is a bad beat story. LOVE IT!
Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: tikay on February 03, 2007, 12:09:47 PM Since then, we have seen nearly 400,000 Posts, almost 20,000 Topics,& getting on for 5,000 members, though I reckon 200 to 300 of those Members were just spammers.
In January 2007, we had our 3rd highest ever number of Posts - 1,216, our 3rd highest ever number of Posts - 25,543 - and our second highest number of New Members, 336. The Live Updates are as good as any I've ever seen, and the Home Page is absoutely first rate. We have stuck to our guns as to standards, & in this respect, the Mods have done an absolutely terrific job. But most important of all is the qulaity of the Members - you are the tops. From everyone at blonde, we thank you. Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: tikay on February 03, 2007, 12:13:35 PM First post is a bad beat story. LOVE IT! Sums up us poker players!

Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: ifm on February 03, 2007, 01:13:50 PM Whatever happened to Gary Bush?
In the same vein not heard much about Marcel Luske or Noah Boaken for a while either. Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: TightEnd on February 03, 2007, 01:18:30 PM Garry Bush is back after his spell, ahem, away and played recent Luton fessie and smaller comps there too
Not full time back on the circuit, £ issues I assume Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: tikay on February 03, 2007, 01:53:26 PM Whatever happened to Gary Bush? In the same vein not heard much about Marcel Luske or Noah Boaken for a while either. Marcel & Noah are both strutting their stuff, but they ain't been to the UK for a while as far as I can recall. As Tighty says, Bushy has been spotted at a few Events recently, he was down in Brighton I think, as well as Luton. It's hard to dislike Gary. Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: ariston on February 03, 2007, 04:10:02 PM Marcel and Noah are present at every big buy tournament in Europe still (EPTs WPTs Masterclassics etc) as well as many WPTs and WSOPs etc. Gary as Tighty has already said had a little holiday, think Carlo recommended the resort.
Good to see blonde doing so well and its still the first place I check before settling down to the daily grind of badbeats and laptop throwing practice.

From everyone at blonde, we thank you. I left the fold for a few months last year and its hard to find a forum as informative as BLONDE. Also the members are so unique and diverse. From the highly intelligent and intellectual AndrewT, to MrPoker himself Ariston whos articles on poker are better than most books you can probably purchase on the subject. We then have the Peter Kay of Poker, ColchesterKev, who is a shoulder to cry on when your knocked out, and a Bad Beat Sponge for most Blondes.Then, how could l forget, we have the oldest poker player in England, Tikay who always plays like a real Rock. Successfull On-line players swamp BLONDE as you would expect from the slighty Overweight RoyalFlush, to boy band members JP AND Pab. Red Dog plods away mixing up a good profitable On-line game with success on the live front, a very difficult combination. Jennifer, Adam and part timers NoFlops and Chilli Pepper keep the LIVE UPDATES the best on the Net with NO ONE coming near in standard and speed of reports. They are a credit to BLONDE. Finally we have INSPECTOR TIGHTY who police's the forum day and night to ensure the high standards we expect. Thanks BLONDE. Mick P.S I know there are many of you l haven't mentioned, but l think your all great.

The fact that you imposed "standards" and adhered to them, is IMO testament to the continuing success of the site. Good Luck for the future. Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: Eyeofsauron on February 04, 2007, 12:08:00 PM Sadly, the first forum I was ever involved with, victorypoker, is about to cease to exist. They've decided due to recent US legistration that it's better to shut down the forum, which is heavily advertised. In many ways, blondepoker is very similar. You even use the same poker network to play on, but under a different skin obviously. Unfortunately, I don't like the software or the tournament structures, so sadly you won't see me playing on the tables. It's a pity because I do enjoy the interactivity playing forum members.
One other thing which both forums have (or had) in common is the friendly atmosphere between forum members, which is quite unusual. I've found myself spending increasing amounts of time visiting blonde forum, and disregarding the rest. So I guess you must be doing something right. Joseph Title: Re: blonde have come a long way Post by: ariston on February 04, 2007, 12:23:49 PM There has been no real mention of how this forum started really. A lot of the original members here were THM veterans and used to go on there all the time when it was still popular and usefull ( I was one of the top ten posters year after year). Along came this strange old man onto THM and he started writing trip reports from the likes of Luton and Walsall which were good reads. When grandad left to set up blonde with Dave most of the keen posters from THM went with him. THM was going through a difficult phase were every other post seemed to be spam or flaming and blonde didn't allow either.
There you go, now you know. Its Tikays fault you have to put up with me on here.

Good luck with your new ventures :)up I am afraid it was always thus, well, since I was 14, & in the Boy Scouts. (Do they still have Boy Scouts, Dib Dob Dib?). We "played " British Bulldog one day, & I decided to send a message to the Pack Bully. Result, 1 broken conk 2 black eyes, 1 broken arm. Her got the messae though. I'm a pushover. Telly does weird things though. I was explaining this to someone yesterday. Imagine you are in a cardroom, playing poker. What can you look at? 9 other players, 9 other players chips, the Dealer, the Valet, your i-Pod, a geezer on the next table, the Plasma. Hundreds of things. And if you stare at someone, & they catch you, gaze has to be averted, it's not done. But when you watch someone on TV, in a "1 shot" (just you in vision) the peeps at home have got nothing else to look at, so they actully stare at you. And one's little (?) imperfections & mannerisms tend to become bigger, & worse. Maybe I should do Radio......
