OK, listen up blondeites, this is important.
BPW Ltd (blonde poker web) have struck a deal to sell our Live Updates to Poker425 (owned by William Hill) for the month of July - essentially, for the WSOP biggie, but for practical purposes, we made it a calendar month.
To facilitate this deal, in effect, because our Live Updates are inseperable from our Forum, the blonde Forum will be replicated on
www.poker425.com. It will be an EXACT copy, in real time. It is exactly the same forum, with exactly the same posts, but appearing on two sites simultaneously. The option to separate Live Updates from our Forum was never considered - because we deem it ESSENTIAL that they remain interactive - that is KEY.
How will this affect existing blondeites and guests? It won't affect it at all, except that....
Users of
www.Poker425.com will be entitled - indeed, welcomed - to Register, post & contribute.
As we cannot reasonably plant our forum onto
www.Poker425.com and still call it blondepoker Forum, we will be changing the NAME of our Forum to "Poker 425 blonde Forum".
This is ONLY until the end of July. The deal is for July only. On August 1st, our Forum title will revert to blondepoker Forum.
This is a deal I have worked hard to broker. It provides the finance for us to continue doing Live Updates, including Vegas, which does not come cheap. And it saves us trying to earn money by spamming you guys night and day to use our affiliate links. And, as you know, I have a relationship with Poker 425, so I was keen, and had a motive, to put together something which is useful to them
So I hope you will support this change, which insofar as it affects day to day use of blonde Forum, changes nothing.
To enable technical glitches to be ironed out, and thus ensure that come the 1st of July it all works properly, the change will in fact take place immediately - in the next 24 hours.
It is my intention to welcome new Forum users from the 425 route in exactly the way I currently do when they join via blonde. I hope you will do the same, & I encourage you to do the same.
Editorial Independance? It remains AS IS. Absolutely AS IS. I retain the right to control editorial content. Our position on spamming by various parties is EXACTLY as was. Which is to say, "common sense, and all things in moderation". I have only felt fit to delete two posts since our Forum began - both because they were personally offensive to others - and I don't expect that ratio to change.
We are grateful to Poker 425 for their belief in blonde. They wanted a service which was reasonably clean and wholseome, a flame free zone, one where decent values were respected and upheld, and where a smile was never far away. We are very proud that they selected blonde as their partner for this experiment. Dave Colclough and Rhowena are both 100% enthusiastic about the arrangement.
OK, questions from the floor. I will answer all questions "openly", because this is a deal I don't feel I need to defend, ensuring, as it does, financial income which will help us to continue and hopefully improve the Live Update service to blondeites. I am a little nervous about your response, so take it easy on the 'ol fella, eh?
