blonde poker forum

OK, listen up blondeites, this is important.

BPW Ltd (blonde poker web) have struck a deal to sell our Live Updates to Poker425 (owned by William Hill) for the month of July - essentially, for the WSOP biggie, but for practical purposes, we made it a calendar month.

To facilitate this deal, in effect, because our Live Updates are inseperable from our Forum, the blonde Forum will be replicated on www.poker425.com. It will be an EXACT copy, in real time. It is exactly the same forum, with exactly the same posts, but appearing on two sites simultaneously. The option to separate Live Updates from our Forum was never considered - because we deem it ESSENTIAL that they remain interactive - that is KEY.

How will this affect existing blondeites and guests? It won't affect it at all, except that....

Users of www.Poker425.com will be entitled - indeed, welcomed - to Register, post & contribute.

As we cannot reasonably plant our forum onto www.Poker425.com and still call it blondepoker Forum, we will be changing the NAME of our Forum to "Poker 425 blonde Forum".

This is ONLY until the end of July. The deal is for July only. On August 1st, our Forum title will revert to blondepoker Forum.

This is a deal I have worked hard to broker. It provides the finance for us to continue doing Live Updates, including Vegas, which does not come cheap. And it saves us trying to earn money by spamming you guys night and day to use our affiliate links. And, as you know, I have a relationship with Poker 425, so I was keen, and had a motive, to put together something which is useful to them

So I hope you will support this change, which insofar as it affects day to day use of blonde Forum, changes nothing.
To enable technical glitches to be ironed out, and thus ensure that come the 1st of July it all works properly, the change will in fact take place immediately - in the next 24 hours.

It is my intention to welcome new Forum users from the 425 route in exactly the way I currently do when they join via blonde. I hope you will do the same, & I encourage you to do the same.

Editorial Independance? It remains AS IS. Absolutely AS IS. I retain the right to control editorial content. Our position on spamming by various parties is EXACTLY as was. Which is to say, "common sense, and all things in moderation". I have only felt fit to delete two posts since our Forum began - both because they were personally offensive to others - and I don't expect that ratio to change.

We are grateful to Poker 425 for their belief in blonde. They wanted a service which was reasonably clean and wholseome, a flame free zone, one where decent values were respected and upheld, and where a smile was never far away. We are very proud that they selected blonde as their partner for this experiment. Dave Colclough and Rhowena are both 100% enthusiastic about the arrangement.

OK, questions from the floor. I will answer all questions "openly", because this is a deal I don't feel I need to defend, ensuring, as it does, financial income which will help us to continue and hopefully improve the Live Update service to blondeites. I am a little nervous about your response, so take it easy on the 'ol fella, eh?



 

can you wait unltill after tonight before the change dont want a rush of 425 members swamping me for he password for the blonde poker tourny as there is only 3 of me

It sounds like a great deal to me, you get money, we get the updates. And for all this all we have to suffer is a slight name change. I can't see how anyone can grumble.

your not the one giving out the passwords

it's not july yet  ;)

"To enable technical glitches to be ironed out, and thus ensure that come the 1st of July it all works properly, the change will in fact take place immediately - in the next 24 hours."

it doesnt need to be

The name change wont happen until Rhowena rings me, I have left her a message. But in fact, the Forum is now on www.poker425.com.

The name change will not happen pre 8pm tonight.

Opps!

best of luck then, good sir.

Congratulations.

Well done Tikay!!

Well done Tikay, do the funds stretch to your buyin or are we all gonna be sweating you on sunday night then in the supersats in vegas?

think the funds would more than likely mean that he will have to spend time doing live updates but i aint 100% on that

Hehe, I wish Ariston, but thank to you & the other guys who have said "it's OK" sorta thing.

We gotta use the money sensibly.......I will introduce our new content provider tonight or tomorrow. And our new Profile Writer.

Sunday "last chance saloon"? Nah, cant even play that one - will be at Walsall, helping with the Live Updates, & the 425 stuff. All work means no WSOP this year it's beginning to look.

Tikay, The live updates are one of (if not the) best things about this site. I would think they are unparalleled with other sites particularly due to the friendly, interactive nature.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see how much time and effort (and no doubt money) goes into these (often at times not convenient to the reporter !).

So I think any deal you can do that results in the future of live updates on Blonde should be applauded.

The Truth, Owner, Karabiner, ty ty ty.

Congratluations to all at Blonde, delighted for you.

Thanks Simon.

Send Sister.

Blondepoker forum is like a great virtual galleon, tacking drunkenly across the web. tikay is a somewhat reluctant captain, and we are the crew

Its success comes because together we have made it into something that is more than the sum of its parts

Congratulations to us all

One of these days Tom will write a post that does not make me giggle.....

"Congrats to us all".....

Right though.

everyone give yourselves a pat on the back.

Tikay there is no way you arent playing in the main event. I am not having it that you have given up. We will just have to win you a seat in a super when we get out there.

Thats V kind Russ. I have not given up - never do that! I injtend to play a sat or two when I get there.

But in any event, I got a job to do!

First job is to win a bloody seat man, get the priorities right.

Superb allegory as per usual Red-dog.

Now don't pretend that you found that in the thesaurus.

 ;D

why there is a long time to wait around for the bubble

i forgot there is alos no bluesquare bubble prize

First man out? Oh, the shame he will suffer........

Thank you Karabiner, I blame the high pollen count

Nice 1 Cyril.

Tikay is like the grandad i never had.

 ;D

He's a bit like the one I did have, but older, much older!

I reckon you should stay awake as long as you can today Red-dog and write a book or something.

You are coming up with a multitude of gems, log them all !

 :)

He's onm top form today, that's for sure.

It sounds good for 425, all this instant repartee
Good for blonde, more membership higher exposure and a bit of folding stuff
Good for the members, we have a good laugh now but can you imagine finding more people with senses of humour like like tikay or Red Dog.... hhhmm yeah frightening isn't it!

All in all a great deal all round.
