State of the Forum

[tikay]

Someone said.....(in jest, of course....)

I say ban the boy band its all their fault.   Oh and Boldie for being German.

And that's interesting. Well, it is, to me......

The Boy Band have a bit of edge & attitude, & they often sail very close to the wind, in fact, I imagine one or two of them have had the occasional spell in the blonde "cooler". But they are the most terrific bunch of lads, well-meaning, funny, just high-spirited lads enjoying themselves, & entertaining us while they do so. They are golden, & are exactly what this forum needs. You don't have to be good to be good. They are perfect blondes. My point, badly made, is that they often push the limits, but not maliciously, side-of-the-mouthedly, or sneakily. My only problem is that LeKnave fella - how can someone with the name "Dave Jones" call himself that?  And he's way too good-looking, albeit a tad effiminate. In their terminology.....

[ x ] boy band, world.

As to boldiie - I agree.

Hopefully the Blonde forum will continue for many years to come but I'm just a bit concerned about the family friendly idea and whether that means the end of norkage pics as we know them, this would be an awful mistake, I know for a FACT that Jeeves visited that Spearmint place in LV after seeing some of the T6 norkage and just think we wouldn't have had his wonderful diary if it wasn't for the Blonde forum.
Long live Blonde and if trouble makers have to be ejected so be it like Grandad TJ said the original goal posts were for a friendly atmosphere and that shouldn't have to change.

I plan to BAN all female norkage. I am going to ask the Mods to decide, we will have a show of hands.

Hang on .... does that mean Male norkage will NOT be banned ??  I worry about you sometimes !

And Both my hands vote for Norkage ... and so do Janes !!

[TightEnd]

I have one hand free, and it votes for norkage.

I feel a bit guilty about not playing more on blonde. Sure, I play all the promo jobbies and the Wednesday Donkathon for the craic, but I would love to make it my main site. I only play one MTT a day so I'm not gonna make you a fortune but I'd like blonde to benefit from my pastime, as much as my leisuretime benefits from blonde.

Fact is though, I just can't bring myself NOT to play the Boss €22 Deepstack each evening. If iPoker had a similarly structured tourney (5000 chips, all levels, 12-30 minutes level times and antes) I would happily migrate - perhaps they have but I've not spotted one.

Also, please can we have a weekly, seasonal league - nothing I enjoy more than pitting my fishy wits against people I know (both actually and virtually).

Good Post, & no arguments from me.

I'll have a word with Kev & Rich about the League. Playing against mates is the best fun to be had in poker.

As to the Boss Tourney, you have to play where you find the game to suit you. Hopefully, that will include blonde now & then.

[TightEnd]

Kev has a league planned for August and months after. We also have two seats for the APAT World at the Vic to give away in comps before the end of August. and Sportsman, Equal Chance and I hope one other festival venue main event sats coming each month

no problem at all cia i can take it im a big boy you know 

its the same as in the real world, you learn quickly who you can joke around without them taking offence, and you say to some what you wouldnt say to others.

Hi guys just realised ive been on this forum over 3 yrs now. All the blondes ive ever met in person or I have personal messaged as always responed in a positive way and are a great set of guys and dolls. The majority of us have got a dry sense of humour and like ribbing other members on the site. Always great support when railing Blondes in tourns too. As for the boyband all have always answered my messages even though i have never met them.( Although we do rib in the sporting games). My wife who as only ever posted on this site about twice really enjoys it too and was grateful for all the help when how youngest was in hosp. However, I noticed in recent mths some new posters  have posted and some of us have jumped down there throats although most tongue in cheek stuff. Surely we want to encourage new members to the forum and blondecard room for the prosperityof us all. We dont want to get like 2+2 forum where there are strict guidlines at the top of each topic. I appreciate all the mods work which must be very time consuming. Just wanted you all to know my view on some of these issues. Lets keep this family together instead of trying to tear it apart.
all the best loyal blonde member steve

Just read this thread through.
Haven't noticed it recently getting worse, just thought it was same as usual i.e. some posts/posters you read but don't bother responding to as you know certain people will take it the wrong way, or will just want to argue.
As for the ads, have noticed the increase and while I wouldn't necessarily vote for them if asked (would anyone) they don't bother me and are are needed.
I hardly play any internet poker at all now,  a mixture of lack of time, apathy and tiredness, and i'm a very low raker. However, I have tried to play on blonde sometimes, and now play most of my stts on blonde.
Doesn't need me to say that most of the problems appear to originate from a very small minority.
Keep up the sterling work mods, it's not a job I would ever envy

[X] ban op

A handful of troublemakers arrived, & started causing trouble on every possible occasion. And so the regulars stopped going there. Because they no longer enjoyed it.

We have to avoid that syndrome.

Tikay, that is a tremdous analogy, and one that many other forums should heed.
