blonde have come a long way

[Nem]

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.

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 WHITE MUPPET 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.

Mr Poker, I like that. Usually I've missed the poker after a level one exit and I'm sat at the bar but I will accept your compliments sir.

He never said you could play the game mate, Just you can write about it.

Good Job to all those involved.

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.

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.

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.

I'd quite forgotten all that, but that's about the sum of it. Ariston gets it right. Mostly.


"strange old man" - who he?

Worryingly, for you guys, I've decided to take up writing articles & stuff again. Poker, life, trains, penguins, bridges, you know, popular science & culture.

Looking forward to reading your articles again tikay.

I watched the Sky Poker preview thing last night. Your nose looked like either Sofa King had punched it or the Sky make up people had fitted you with a false one. wtf is going on with the massive hooter?

Good luck with your new ventures
