Is Blonde becoming spam city?

[Royal Flush]

Would it not make sense to maybe add a child board to the internet poker forum for all BPL stuff?

[thetank]

Would that be this site? 

[Acidmouse]

I more than anyone dislike constent spam and many sites are ruined by the over spamming of affiliate links. Never really noticed the ones on blonde forums, yes promoting their events happens but I dont really consider this as spam more as an reminder to get involved in the community and  help with the running costs.

As long as we dont get pop-ups or overrun with other poker rooms links I am happy.

this was suggested at the outset but it was decided to wait until the cardroom was established.

I have been reading the forum for a long time but only recently signed up. I like the chages to be honest. It shows that the site is moving forward and that the site is active. In the past the blond main site seemed to be a bit static but now it seems things are improving. There is no point having a poker room if it is not advertised and if you can't advertise it here, where are you going to advertise it?

no

Why should they feel the need to hide their poker-stuff off in some child board? They should be able to post what they want when they want without members complaining that they have to suffer such terrible insults as not being forced to read the post(s)!

Why is everyone so keen to get something for nothing? Why aren't people happy that the founder members of this site are trying to find avenues to bring more money into the entity so they can:

a) offer better (more frequent) live updates
b) have a poker-room where blondes can play together, and where they can host blonde specific tournaments
c) not operate this fine website at a substantial cost to themselves each year!

I dont know whether people had it too good in the beginning, but as a relative newcomer all I can say is that the price that people are seemingly paying for the service is a minute fraction of the actual value of the benefits they get, and it frustrates me that people find time to complain about such things, yet are so happy to reap the benefits of being a member here (for free)

I dont know for a fact, but Im pretty sure that Tikay is about as honest as they come, and he has been very forward in his intimations about the cost of running Blonde, and if it suddenly starts making a "killing".. then its no more then he deserves (not that he would keep it all anyways, I'd be confident a pretty good % of that money would find its way back to the members)

Alrite, I'm getting off my soap-box now.. best wishes

Of course it would, the fish would play more poker

Spam is unsolicited advertising eg. random people coming here and advertising their products without permission. A poker site advertising THEIR OWN poker skin is not spam. Running a website as dynamic as this can cost a lot and it is only fair that they are able to advertise their product on their site. I personally do not find the adverts on here for blonde events offensive. In fact, in my opinion Blonde is one of the most spam-free gambling orientated sites I have been to.

[action man]

nice post totalise, i agree totally, i just think some rules apply for some, and not others, i know that the site needs to advertise here, but sometimes it is incessant,

You have to admit though, action man does make a very pertinent point here, especially the second oink.

A league not established enough?

I am fairly new to blonde and have no problem with the advertising for the blonde poker room. I have been to a few festival events and have seen first hand the hard work that goes in to producing the live updates. I mainly play blue square for tribeca network because of the nightly $100f/o or the grovesnor sattelites. Apart from that i have opened a blonde poker account to play all other tourny's and cash games on tribeca.
