DTD & blonde going places. Together.

[SolarCarro]

Brilliant News!!

DTD is so far ahead in organising poker for everybody it is unreal, even living in York I make regular trips and continue to do so.

Fantastic to see DTD so forward thinking, even for low stakes players DTD has it all

Hi Everyone,

TK has asked me put a comment on here. Thank you for the nice words. I don't want to go into specifics on why the previous DTD Blonde deal was not renewed, what I will say is this new deal is a complete U turn on DTD's Live Updating and Forum plans, and this U turn has been solely brought about because Blonde Members showed their support in continuing to self fund their updates at DTD month after month....after month, showing how important the BP/DTD updates were to the Blonde Members.

As DTD will be the sole/sponsor/partner/whatever of Blondepoker, there will be need to be a few tweaks, mainly around 3 areas:

1. DTD's UK competitors cannot spam on Blondepoker (no brainer, we cant drive traffic to our competitors - with the exception of DTD partners, SKY, Pokerstars, APAT, Redtooth etc etc)

2. We need to make some Forum, Web, Update and general presentation investment - 100% DTD funded (BP just needs to move with the times as does DTD)

3. There will be an increase in the Blonde Poker community, therefore we will need to do "Bigger" community initiatives eg. Blondebash, Community Leagues etc

TK and Nick have agreed a 24 month deal to give Blondepoker some security, however, I am also aware there are perils of relying financially on ONE source of income, so I would like to add to that;

As well as the 24 month deal, DTD also agrees to give BP a minimum of 12 months notice* of non renewal of the deal

*This means when we get to 18 months of the deal, if DTD have not notified BP that they will not be renewing the contract after month 24, the earliest DTD can withdraw is 30 months, obviously BP doesn't need to give DTD any notice, its only necessary because BP have agreed to an exclusive deal

Important Note:
Not much will change in next 4 weeks AND I am also very keen that this stays a BLONDEPOKER FORUM, so please keep slagging off DTD (especially Trumps), this is KEY because it makes DTD self improve and debate/arguments often end up in us making positive changes, however, remember WE are also allowed to argue OUR case aswell, just because Simon, Nick, Alex or me comes on and says that someone is talking complete rubbish - this doesnt mean we are moderating the forum, we are just stating OUR case, fair is fair right 

Cool.

This is such good news for all at Blonde Poker and will be onof the best ways to keep DTD at the front of people's minds well done to DTD and all that have helped make this happen.


I for one have not allways been a big fan of Dusk its self (allways thought it was a bit up its self) but over the last year this has canged as i have been poping up more for there deaper tornys as i find games with shorter clocks suck but thats just my way of looking at things. With doing this I have come to like Dusk.

The loss of allthings luton as in the foem of news and things going on there is a bit of a let down but I can understand that this has to be the way that it is and it might take trade away from DTD its self.

Can I just ask will Blonde be at the 150 Deapstack in the coming weeks???

Anyway time to bring the spelling cockups to a end

Well done to all and gl for the changes to come i look forward to see whats coming

Amazing news!

[WotRTheChances]

Not sure if this idea is a valid one at all or not, but having viewed several of the recent live updates done by Tighty (brilliant work as ever btw  ) several members and I noted that there are increasing numbers of guests viewing these live update threads. Obviously not surprising given they are a great asset to the site.

I just wondered if it would be in DTD's interests to make that board/the forum as a whole a member-only access thing. Obviously free as ever, but clearly there are lots of guest visitors out there viewing the great content, seems like DTD should at least have the right to get their details/data on record for advertising purposes etc.

Might also encourage some more posters once they sign-up.
