Diaries

[ohdear]

Interesting grim imo. Solaris takes the first set 6-4, he charms the locals, impresses with his knowledge, and actually succeeds in banking a 4 figure blonde-dollar sum. A decent short con performance you might say. However, deep in the second set the disciples Mark/Luke appear in the umpire's chair and make a controversial judgement call against our tennis loving degen friend. Solaris copes well with this surprising back-hand slice down the line and returns the ball with interest by starting to repay monies. He wins the point and the crowds gathered on Solaris Stump are whipped up into hysteria chanting his name. Our hero now knows the long con and a grand slam victory are very much on.

But wait, in the third set at game point disaster strikes and he breaks a string by running out of monies having already degened some away backing a mixed doubles match on Eurosport. He disappears into the changing room to get a spare and has so far failed to return. We are starting the slow hand clap now and Cliff Richard's about to get up a sing so new balls please!! Let's get the game back on.

Of all your crap posts over the years this might be the worst.

You'd feel like a jolly good laugh if he'd got £200 of your money, right?

i've read this forum for about 2 years and this was probably one of the best posts, out of all the diary's and stuff on here that are a little bit difficult to get into unless you're a regular member the one person who justs posts on all aspects of the forum and does so entertainingly is Mantis, as a writer and thinker head and shoulders above anyone on here, no disrespect intended, the only persons posts i bother to click on if i happen to read the site, you know that you might get something witty, funny or insightful with mantis whereas a huge % of other posts are usually regs asking newbies how much they want to be staked for when all they want is to try and join in the community, with no new posters allowed to come through because passing the test to get in the blonde clique it seems takes longer and is harder than doing your a-levels don't chase away the last half decent poster on the forum

I've also read nearly every single Mantis post. I'm not saying they're all terrible or looking to start an argument with him or anyone about it BUT he is not the best poster on this site, not by a long way. There are better posters, fact.

In fact, since he's been posting a huge amount less (maybe not at all) on the PHA board I think he's a far better poster/forum member than he was previously.

Everyone has different reasons really. Tikay and Tom ARE blonde - I love their diaries and how good they are at doing them.

Camel just makes such good points all over the shop and would probably be the #1 person I'd recommend anyone to ask on here if they wanted a dispute settled etc on what is the right thing to do.

Keys and Dubai are a younger man's Camel (sorry Keef). <3 their input into PHA - just such a shame Keys stopped posting on 1000 posts.

Not meaning to make yours or Brent's heads any bigger but you guys I find the absolute funniest on blonde when on form.

Yo it’s Greeky, how you doing fella? Yeah, I expect those words from my new best friend ohdear did sting a bit.

I would encourage all new members like ohdear to be confident about offering their views on here (especially such insightful ones) because any opinion is equally valid, and without contribution a forum simply can’t work. An internet forum needs multiple contributions and lots of hits to be overall successful both commercially and sociologically so it’s vital people get involved. And it is good fun.

I really do recommend new members get involved with pha as well because it’s a fabulous interactive poker tool this forum provides completely free of charge. They will learn a lot and have access to some skilled poker players. They will also see all the threads I was involved in pulled impressive stats in terms of contribution and hits, the things that make a forum successful. These days the stats say there is much less discussion and many less hits. So in actual fact i’m a much worse Blonde forum member. So wrong again Greeky but I do like this new chilled out thai approach thou.

Best poster Girgy imo

I'm interested actually about the comment you made saying: "these days the stats say there is much less discussion and many less hits"

Is this just the PHA board you're talking about or the forum as a whole?

If you're talking about the forum as a whole i'm not surprised, i have no axe to grind with anyone on here and mostly i've enjoyed reading the forum over the past couple of years but if there is a general decline in these numbers it doesn't take a genius to see why, this forum has gotton the diary aspect so so wrong. i come from a bb'ing forum where there's a whole section for members journals, they're interesting to read, but they mostly revolve around people workout routines for the day, how it's gone, weekly gains, if they're on gear(steroids) what they're taking and how much etc etc, people will also include in their journals stuff that might've happend to them that day outside of bb'ing because it's their diary and it has something to do with their life's but it's a bb'ing forum, that's what people are on the forum for and that's what they want to hear about.

there is however several boards and subsections and our general conversation board probably gets between 20-30 new threads every day, it's thriving.

also on our forum people get reps(reputation power) based on what good advice they've given, a lot of people like to train naturally but a good few take steroids, the most important thing when people do is that they are properly advised and guided, if someone has good reps its a good indicator that if they're advising you about something steroid related they know what they're talking about, i'm not suggesting you do that here but the point i was going to make is even the most "preeminent" of memberS with the most posts, reps and likes wouldn't dream of talking about something of general interest or something topical in their own journal, they could there's no rule against it but it's just not done, it would be considered very disrespectful the the forum as a whole, like you're detracting from the community and general discussion part of the forum which drums up huge amounts of interest for the forum, of course people come firstly to learn about bb'ing but if they see there's an absolutely thriving community too it compels them to stay.

I understand that now and then a diary goes away from poker, some diarys on here are not even about poker at all which i actually think is ok but when you start discussing things that are happening in the media in your diary instead of starting a thread about it in the lounge you are hugely hurting the forum, it's traffic and potentially new members it would generate.

Personally i think it's an ego thing, i really don't mean that in a bad way but i know that their have been a few threads like this one where someone has done a runner with some money and that can sting a bit and maybe as a forum youregulars have put a barrier up against the outside, that's the way it seems from the perspective of an impartial reader, although i still mostly enjoy the forum.

I read some of the diary's, sometime tikay posts about completely random stuff, not to do with poker, not to do with logging his events of the day and things that have no real immediate bearing on his life, imagine if all (or at least some) of those individual posts he made as threads on the lounge, greekstien and red dog too, the place would be heaving again, the forum would be alive! and there's still be a ton of room to write about all aspects of other stuff on your diary's.

the worse thing ive seen is when the normal members start a thread about something that's happend in the news, spend all day discussing it, for all intents and purposes promoting the site, advertising that their can be good debate and discussion, just for a Senior member in his diary to come along that night and say: "did you see this in the news this is my 2p's worth2 without a thought about starting a new thread in the lounge on it let alone seeing if the normal folks of the forum have already, that is just so disrespectful to your own forum and the people that have put the effort in to taking the time to make that thread.

That unfortunately is why i imagine hits and interaction is down, sure the diary's gets lots of views but how many people regularly interact with you on them, i mean REGULARLY? 5? maybe 10, is the success of a diary worth the overall decline in the forum?

things like twitter, facebook and forums you're only as good as your last post normally and the viewing public are a fickle bunch, when you get told so many times what a great poster you are and how fantastic your diary is i think it's easy to get wrapped up in your own sense of self importance and people get the old can't see the wood through the trees syndrome, and it seems to be what's happend here, i'm sure the top posters on here know in the back of their minds and hearts that the stuff they're talking about in their diary's would be much better served, for the sake of the forum, being discussed in the lounge etc but the ego things comes into it and i've no doubt you guys love the forum hugely but just can't stop yourself from thinking about the posterity of your diary and how individualy it serves your own purpose all the while knowing how badly it's hurting the forum

2 years ago it wasn't like this, i've even gone back and read some stuff from 3 years ago and the place is unrecognisable, i know it's the case with forums that they evolve and have to adapt etc but it's sad to say that the way you've gone from the outside the forum looks like nothing more than a bunch of self indulgent diary's and DTD spam, it's not very pretty

When I was a new member I immersed myself in PHA. I was the board I spent most time in. So I completely agree that new members get involved. You seem to think I was saying they shouldn't? Not at all.

I was referring to your posting style on PHA which was very annoying for a lot of people. Perhaps unintentionally but there were many times that you were arguing against people posting in a way that your line in a hand > theirs when not only was that not the case, but it wasn't really the right way to go about it imo.
