People just won't pay for updates, everyone here is saying 'i would chip in' etc but it just won't happen, in all honesty why would someone pay when they can get better content elsewhere for free?

dont know about "better content" flushy. I personally think blonde have the best written updates on the net. The advent of the TV updates awop are doing may change my views on these updates being the best but only time will tell on those as they are still quite new.

If people did pay how would they feel if that content was then cut and pasted elsewhere and people got to read it for free - would that be an issue - as it almost certainly would happen.

How could/would Blonde be expected to police that?

Ariston - I don't play a lot of online poker but I play a bit on Blonde just to help out. How about you signing up depositing and, if you would be happy to pay for an update, do it another way by playing on Blonde or perhaps sponsoring some blonde members to play on the site where you may make some money at the same time?

Wouldn't bother me one little bit.

Snoopy is the best updater on any site period. Floppy, Jen (does she still do them?), Dana and Jungle Cat are way above average.

I know pokernews, awop, cardplayer etc etc are possibly more up to date with chip counts and hand histories etc.. but the fact is the writers on here are MUCH better than elsewhere.

Blonde Poker account opened.

Fold when 5ukkkraM bets on the river.

Off to Broadway now for the £150 - hopefully see at least a couple of dozen others have done the same when I come back with my winnings.

agree totally with keith although I actually thought jen was the best (she had a way with words). the fact all the blonde updaters where the best at what they did is good for blonde.

ironside many thanks for your kind offer but I think I would prefer sofa to you doing updates Wink

They won't pay when they can get any content elsewhere covering the same event - it doesn't have to be better.

I'm sure some loyal blondes with money would do it, but not enough to pay for it so they still wouldn't be viable until they can be paid for with alternative means. i.e. it wouldn't make any difference to the current situation at all.

Stick one of these buttons at the top of the next volunteer update. It's a zero cost option and only then could you gauge how much it would bring in. I understand Tikay's reticence regarding donating to shareholders however, if the donations are kept separate and only used to fund current and future updates, I don't see anyone who actually does donate having a problem with that.

"better content"?

Where exactly?

I was referring to the live AWOP feed, almost every other site also does faster updates on top of little gimmicks to present this information to the reader.

Blonde's updaters are the best, of that i have no doubt.

The simple truth of the matter is those in charge got complacent when blonde owned the update stage, if you look at an update now to one 3 years ago there has been just 1 single innovation (the tournament clock) this has allowed other sites to come and take nearly all of blondes market share, there is no point dwelling on the past though, it can't be fixed, however if they are going to make a return they have to be done a lot better.

I disagree massively.

The lack of all the gimmicks and gizmos ADDS to the sense of community. Less is more imo.

When a Blondite is going deep in a big tournament, the feeling of community and support is overwhelming. Nothing like it on any other site.

Do we really need a video of Marc Goodwin saying how he did in the first two levels to improve it?
