My apologies, Rob. I was just expressing an opinion. Didn't mean to stress you out.
As I said on the other thread, you already have my support with the venture, whatever the signs, name, etc.

change the name, change the membership sheme........................................god knows what people will be like when the club opens........change the sign, change the dealers, change the reception......................what have a let myself in for here.
Forum posts can be very stressful Rob, as a huge % of communication is non-verbal - and thats lost on here. Remember that everyone wishes you the best of success when you read the ol posts, and they shouldn't seem so bad. I reckon everyone who writes on here want you to succeed - they post as friends on blonde, not punters at the club. (After we'll all be down to support it whatever
)
Apart from that Snoppy. He's a troublemaker.

Jammer,
If you have read my diary you'll have noticed that I have got more stressed this week. In all my business ventures consulting people has been used effectively, but you can't please everyone all of the time.
And there is no point in going over and over the same stuff. In terms of the name, there is no cost or domain issue, I also own
www.dusktildawnpoker.com
and
www.dusktilldawnpoker.com
. I'll have a think about it, its not a major change.
There is so much happening at the moment since we got the green light on the premises, and as I said when I started the thread, I'd like to use the following procedure so I remain organised and focussed:
1. Debate 1 single issue every 2 weeks on forum
(openly, but I will always get annoyed when the same person keeps posting the same negative point over and over again such as IFM over membership fees)
2.
Make a Final Decision
(it has to be mine and wont keep everyone happy, but that is my job)
3.
Move onto the next subject
People who want to work
with me
on these threads are welcome, I want as much bad/good feedback as possible, as you see, the membership scheme was formed from using Blonde opinions. Bu using this approach the club can only better for the members, and this approach will continue when the club is running, with constant contact with members.
Over the next 9 months, you'll find me in "up" and "down" moods, sometimes "on tilt" with the hassle, but we'll get there in the end. However, I'm not going to have any time for "trouble makers" and "serial negative posters", why should I? - I owe them nothing, nor do I need their custom, my living does not depend on the success or failure of this club, so I do not have to suck up to any potential customers.
Thanks for the 95% who are giving me good and bad news and following the theads. I'll keep it totally honest and be open.
Cheers Rob

incase any1's wondering, the poll about the name of the club was removed at the request of the author.
Any comments about the name can be posted here.
Personally, I think 'Dusk til Dawn' would be cool, but it's up to Rob. The important thing is what's going to be inside, not the sign above the door.
Having said that, how about 'SNOOPY'S'?
Has a certain ring to it...
... sort of
ps. please please please don't get stressed Rob and remember that you have the backing of all the Blondites whatever decisions you make. We are merely here to offer feeback.

Anything that avoids a poker pun has got to be better. I said this in the original 'name the club thread' so no need to go over it again.
I figured as this was the name Rob chose the discussion was over. And I think it is....
Does the name really matter? it will catch on based on the success of the club.

In the long term, for what it's worth, I'd argue that 'From Dusk 'til Dawn' is a much more viable name.
I hated the original choice, although I understand how u got to it. But it is completely unnatural to speak as it is nonsense.
I also think beyond your core audience it is too clever by half and won't work on merchandising or in advertising. I'd hate to try and write promo copy around 'From Dusk Tilt Dawn' and the regional press won't understand it either - or thank you for making them explain what it means to their readers every time they write about it either.
I really hope this club is a success and you listen to the points made by several people on this thread about the name. Best of luck and am enjoying reading the thread.

At the end of the day if you post asking for opinions you shouldn't be upset when you get them, simple as that.
If you feel i should be singled out by you constantly then fine, i don't care but lets forget all the people who agree with me eh?

Unfortunately it ain't funny Robert, if
we
are asked for an opinion and give it why get funny about it?

I think you are all forgetting copyright issues ...... Im sure you will find that From Dusk 'til Dawn is owned by the film company.

It's the same as having a galaxy chocolate bar and a ford galaxy car, as long as you can't get the 2 confused it's OK.
