All we ever hear is you complaining

We all complain dear, it's because we care.

All we ever hear is cardroom struggling, cardroom suffering, we need more of you to play there, we need rakers etc. etc. etc,
If HAS to be making money or it would be gone, FACT.
Ok, no probs ask folks to help, less of the guilt trips though eh?
The cardroom problem is the network, it was crap before blonde joined and it now it's worse (not related i don't think) so you were never going to set the world on fire.
This of course without the handicap of advertising every other cardroom and their better promotions!
I hate the ads and i'll moan about them, same as every extra board because they all move away from the original ethos, yes they are a necessary evil but they are horrible.

cant particularly see the point in having a post count restriction for offering stakes, and think that 300 posts is too small to ask for stakes.. in fact I dont think you should even be able to ask for stakes in the short term. Theres far too many nippers compared to stakers in the poker world that its just going to lead to an imbalance of posts.

1000 posts AND been a registered user for a year, AND no PKR avatars is a better restriction imo.

I think you've gotta go by how long the persons been a member for, you can set up an account and post absolute shite on every thread going just to get your 300 posts up. FWIW im glad the staking board is up and running.

a pretty good % of the posters on here post absolute shite in every thread anyways, as tightend alludes to, so its going to be too hard for the moderators to discern what is and isn't a futile attempt to bolster the post count, which is why i think duration of membership is a much better standard.

Ultimately though, as tightend said, blonde take no involvement in all this, so there is a caveat emptor basis involved no matter who/what gets staked... I hope its a success but I really do think it should be a board that, for now, only allows people to offer stakes and not request them.

no way totalise, we want to capitalise on the busto winning players lack of capital!



p.s stake me for 10k nl pretty please.

but how many winning players truly have a lack of capital. I seen one person already asking for stakes for £160 worth of buyins. £160 is a sum of money you should be able to find in an old coat pocket, what kind of profit is staking this kind of person going to truly generate?

I appreciate that due to work etc there could be an avenue for staking people on limited funds, but its going to be overrun by losing poker players that for some reason think they are long term winners. The staking started for a bit of fun rather then a diligent attempt to be a fiscally prudent investor, and the more people that offer % of themselves, the more likely it is that the board will fall to shit. All imo of course.

I'd happily back grinders like byron if they let me be their rakeback affiliate,  so i guess anyone that can play 50,000 hands of cash a month at 50/1 or higher, PM me!

Good post, more eloquently than my "open the floodgates" comment of a week or so back.
LOL at the 50k hands per month player that needs a backer

Do you realise that Ian attracts more people to this forum than staking boards, IFM & Flushy for Mods imo

Can we have an IFM starts an arguement in an empty room board pls.

With some tagline like:

Are you looking for an arguement? Well this is the board for you, blondes own resident "mardy mustard" will argue about any topic you choose.

u got my audi??

Ask IFM, i have hired as my solicitor. He has said your motives are pure greed and has suggested me writing a diary about it, but only if a new diaries board is made.

whooooooooossssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lol, sarcasm is obviously beyond nippers eh?

My point is simple, nobody AFAIK asked for staking boards,

 I think we should have a staking/ swap % board........for live and online.

 

Good idea, we can all line up and be picked like football at school.

I think this would be good idea - I always miss the 'random staking' threads usually

I also think that we should get a staking board going, might lead to headaches so ppl should just be careful about who they give and details. Could see a whole lot of new blondepoker signups anyhow.

My point is simple, nobody AFAIK asked for staking boards, plenty asked for other boards, so why would one be more attractive to the management than others?, simple,staking boards attract people obviously through their nature (something for nothing) others not.
Comercial decisions by corporate whores again

Again, this is non-commercial. As specifically stated in the guidelines for the new board in the OP

So why something nobody asked for v something plenty asked for if not commercial?

Obviously the only argument for staking boards is that it will attract new members, so greed is the driving force so logically it was Tighty's decision?
Do you really want the types of members attracted to staking boards though?
Forget the page refreshes, unique ip's for a second please!!

300 posts plus is the rules. no new members can ask to be staked.

Not the point i was making.

she has a wok?

After a few nipping staking threads you introduce new boards yet a hundred diaries and you won't?
Not very consistant.

A hundred? WOW! turn my back for 10 mins and we've gained about 80 odd diaries.

I must get to work...

You missed the irony
