Titanpoker Banners

[TonyG]

There was a lot of talk about the banner yesterday that appeared on
the blondepoker forum.  Most of it was negative, its great that we can
all talk about this and express our views. We had an offer from
TitanPoker that seemed very reasonable and of great value. The
condition was that anyone from blondepoker that clicked to titan poker
via the banners located anywhere on blondepoker.
and deposited $20 is eligible to play in this free roll.

There was some talk how is this a free roll if you have to deposit
$20?  The entry is free to this event and the prize pool is $5000
added plus $25 re-buys no juice. There is also a bounty on El Blondie
and me of $500 each. I suggested that you deposit $25 so that everyone
will have a re-buy me and dave will not be able to do re-buys. This
should be a great tournament with real huge value for all.  It is a
free roll since there is no entry but any room does not want to allow
kids or non players to play free rolls. So there is that restriction I
am sorry about the fact that you have to deposit $20 to the site to be
on the list.

If in general the blondepoker community feels that we should not promote
these sort of events via the forum please express your views in this
thread. Blondepoker does not endorse Titanpoker we hope to have these type of
great value and fun tourneys in the future from all the sites. In fact
we are close to doing a huge free roll with partypoker I hope that
this will be $10,000 added event on Novemebr 5th (90% confirmed).
I came in to this community to help it grow
even more and become the best and biggest, I have a lot of contacts to
all poker rooms because I run http://www.pokernews.com/. I intend to
play in all Blondpoker tourneys and make them bigger all the time. I
am currently in charge of building a brand new inteface and live
update client and would like everybody to help out while we do this.
We plan to let everyone comment on the home page layout and give us
advice on what else we can include in the new site.

I hope that there is support in general from all blondites and some
understanding when we try to promote events. Sadly the Titan free roll
is in danger of being cancelled and we need to get at least 30 people
registered by the 10th of October for it to go ahead at 21.00GMT on
the 14th of october So far we have 11 people entered in the free roll.
It will not be possible to register to this free
roll in the last minute. So if you want this one to go ahead please set
up your account via this
link: http://banner.titanpoker.com/cgi-bin/SetupCasino.exe?member=pnewsaff&profile=blond
it will work and you will be on the list
within 48 hours, there is no need to get a password you will be able
to register in scheduled tournaments section or your nick will be
entered automatically.  We can make this a real big success and get
value out of this site.

You've got my support

I dont have a problem with the banners, I especially liked the Tikaypoker one myself 

I will now register through the link, hopefully others will do the same

One banner is ok on the forum with me. I guess somebody needs to pay hte wages for the live reports so I hope that you get some income from theose banners even though I am alergic to them. The Titanpoker free roll is huge value and I am inn as of today, what a site I can try to knock out two great players in one day.

I think the main problem was it just appeared, so it looked like someone had done a Spam deal. When things just happen there will be a million different theories on where it came from & the reason behind it.

There's also some concern that the Blonde online tourneys will become forced signups to sites that make offers (I don't for a minute believe that's right - but unannounced 'join here to play ina Blonde Tourney' banners will lead people to that conclusion).

I've a home game to play that night, so can't play anyway - but good lick with the promotion now we know what it's about.

PS Re banners - those of us who access the forum from work have a harder time hiding our skiving with them.  

[tikay]

We will get PLENTY of runners for this. But we don't generally start talking about them until a week or so before the event, otherwise peeps just forget. I will remind you all at the right time, & we'll have a ball.

[Royal Flush]

ty for the explanation Tony.

[tikay]

Thsnks Rod.

The "banners on blonde Forum" issue is far more complicated a problem than it seems at first sight, but I'll fill you all in with the details later.

[Robert HM]

Thanks TonyG, that makes it a lot clearer now. We just couldn't understand why the Titan site was being oushed like that.

Anyway I am already in and have played a little there already. If people have a spare $20 dollars it can simply be lent to the site, who may offer you an additional $10 for putting in cash (NOW!!), that will help also cover the cost of a rebuy if you desire.

Don't, like we always seem to do, leave it to the last minute or you can't get registererd, it took until the next day for me.

[The Truth]

very clear and transparent explanations which i hope makes everyone happy. ANYTHING that allows Blonde to continue to provide EXCELLENT free updates in the manner that they do is ok in my book.

Tikay & team do a great job.

just registered, a bit wierd with the live support pop-up thing

although the girl seemed nice

made a deposit, got the extra $10

but it wont let me register for the blonde tourney yet

perhaps I need to leave it a while?

[Robert HM]

You will probably get the email tomorrow. I registered on a Sunday aftrernoon and got the go ahead the following morning.

Thankyou Sir Robert

The blondpoker forum has got bigger and more successful recently, and I guess this extra trafiic and demand for live updates has increased IT costs, Employee Costs, Travel Costs etc. These need to be paid for between the members and external advertisers, unless we believe the Fairy Godmother will donate us a few quid!

However, what has make this site different from some of the others, is the community feel it has developed. I know the help I am receiving for the Live Poker Club has been outstanding and has cost me nothing. The people on this site have been so helpful its restoting my faith in human nature!

So that the Blondepoker site can continue to develop, us as members should:

Divert a small portion  (or more) of our internet play (which we already give direct to the poker sites anyway) through Blondepoker. For example, If we sign up and play online on Prima Poker through Blonde, it costs us NO MORE that playing directly through Bet365, and we are HELPING  our site improve.

and Blondepoker management should;

Prevent the site from becoming like the others, blazened in banners and offers.


I'm sure both parties want to do this and as long as a couple of Blondites can get involved in the decision making process, as representitives of the members, I am sure everyone will pull together. Cheers Rob

Thanks for the explanation, but could someone please tell me who Titanpoker are.

Before I download it I would just like to know if they are a skin or a stand-alone poker outfit.

Someone will answer your Titan question Karabiner. While you are waiting, have a look at the Live Update thread, re the Honours Board here at Baden. You know any of those guys?
