Just caught up with this since I got back.
Seems like great news for Blonde and kudos to Tighty for getting it done.
I will ofcourse respect the new deal and tone down any mentions of Encore, though I'll still mention it on my diary as it's a part of my life - there will be no form of subtle advertising or spam etc from me though. I hope this deal works great for both parties.
Keen to see Rob and co post more.
How much of an impact will DTD have on what stays up on the site or will that always be at the discretion of the mods only?

Thanks Cos.
As to Encore etc, please see.....
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=56733.15
Rob & Nick have both promised to Post more often here. We may even be able to persuade Mr Trumper to tell us some stories, I know you'd love that.
Who decides what stays up? The Mods. DTD have no right of veto, but they do have the right to tell us if something is out of line with the deal, & then the Mods will consider it as appropriate.
Some tolerance by all parties is necessary, & a small price to pay, imo.
I did specifically use you & Encore as an example, you will note.
Hope you are well.

As DTD and blondepoker are now so closely linked, do you think any upgrades to the platform of tournament updates could be made. I know it was mentioned the DTD online web-design team will be doing some work on the blondepoker site, I would like to suggest some things that might aid the railing experiance:
The automatically updated list of 'finishing positions'/exits could be incorporated as a tab in the live-updates for each covered tournament, with a tab for the live-stream, payout structures, tournament details etc (so that Tighty doesn't have to remind people every X minutes.
It seems that with the link between the two sites DTD can create an update/coverage system for their flagship events of unparalleled quality. The number of times i've had mates playing in tournaments abroad/around the UK and been trying to follow their progress and found the quality of coverage provided, even at some of the bigger comps around Europe, is already far inferior to that at DTD/blonde, but it could definately put itself out as a UK/European/World leader in that regard.

Yes absolutely. Lack of IT resource has severely held blonde back in areas such update technology (where we have been relying on the writing, certainly not the way the content is presented), news site look and ease of use
In time, as Rob has referred to on this thread, this partnership will improve both. Put our updates with some decent technology and we'll hopefully be right out there.

Included in the deal, which starts immediately, is......
The existing staff costs - for Rich, who runs the place, & will continue so to do - will be fully paid for the next 2 years.
26 Live Updates from DTD per year, for 2 years, one every 2 weeks on average, all fully funded by DTD. These Updates will include the Grand Prix, the Deepstacks, the Monte Carlo, the 6 Max, & some other yet to be announced plans which DTD are formulating. I'll address the matter of the existing "blonde Live Update Fund" shortly.
DTD have developed new Live Update Software which will greatly enhance the Live Updates, & Live Streams, & blonde will use this.
The server Hosting Costs will be included in the deal.
There will be a huge blondebash at DTD in April, & again in the future, with a Guaranteed Value Tournament, the bash costs fully funded by DTD.
DTD's superb IT resources will revamp the blonde website, including the "Home Page", to make it fresher & better. That page, & the Forum, are already very SEO-friendly, but will be more so, especially with the addition of more & fresher content.
Content is key in these things, & DTD will be assisting with this, including regular input from Rob Yong & Simon Trumper.
blondes can also expect preferential treatment in the Caribbean Poker Party promotions, & some other upcoming stuff.
Is this still going to happen?
Time for a new front page imo.

A bit more complicated than envisioned that one
Would really like it to happen, as yes it does need revamping.

I should add that the delay has been caused at blonde's end, not by DTD.
I can almost hear Tighty gnashing his teeth from here.....and no, it is not Tighty's fault.
