The Worst Month Ever

[tikay]

Alex Goulder barely has an enemy on earth, he's almost universally liked, admired & respected.

Reallllllly? I will call that bluff

Good call. Very nice of you Mr. K, but very much mistaken. That guy whose Queens I cracked is the latest addition to the list.

I was very careful in what I wrote, & included "almost"......


PS - I gather you got engaged?

I always thought that it was strange that DTD never promoted blonde inside the club.  They could easily do a banner, put the logo on the advertising screens, some flyers. 

Think the main site should be auto linked to here.  Whenever I'm using a new device and go the the home page it does feel like a dead site.

[BigAdz]

Agree with the front page being a dead duck.

Also, if you are going to run the £20 a pop quizes/comps etc, why not have them as tokens to DTD comps/cash etc. Two birds/one stone type thing.

I thought people were getting disinterested in poker.. then I played the GUKPT Grand Final at the Vic this weekend.

The place was buzzing and they set a new prize pool record.

Does it matter that Blondepoker is a little quieter than it was?

I don't think the site will ever be sold now in current climate, why else would we need to prop up new thread and new posts stats?

 

Typically lateral thinking by Mr Camel.

I'm conflicted really. I'd not like to see the thing die slowly, just wither away, that's what really bothers me. Euthanasiaia would be better than a slow death.

I'm quite fond of the place, & all the friends I've made because of it. 

Where would we draw the line, at what point should we say "well there's no point in continuing"?

There is a hardcore bunch of blonde posters who make a ton of effort to construct good posts & threads, which are a great read, no matter what the topic. Without them, it's gg. 

Looking at all the other UK based poker forums, we are doing amazingly well. 

Why would you want to kill it if, say, 30 or 40 people are still getting enjoyment from it?

Because it's expensive?

This is asked out of general curiosity as I have no idea- what are the costs involved? I know nothing about the cost of running websites/ forums, can the site not just continue naturally cost free or am I being incredibly ignorant?

Also I very much agree with the previous posts about how people nowadays tend to read and then "like" things with the huge boom in social media over the past few years, rather than engage and put forward an opinion/ response.

Even though I can't access blonde as much as previous months due to living abroad I hope the site continues.

Tony has made about £10k from the TFT thread.

Sure that pays a decade or two hosting costs.

How is that relevant? I don't own the forum.

If there was no forum, there would be no TFT. And Tony wouldn't have made 10k.

I don't think Tony owns it either, but I think you making money from TFT is just as relevant as Tony making money from TFT. After all, If there was no forum, there would be no TFT etc.

Your argument implies that if you won money at poker and you used any of the advice you might have received on PHA, then you are entitled to pay.

Tony is the only person that gets on every bet.

Various posters risk losing their accounts to put bets on for him.

The only reason they do this is for for the thread, which is on his forum.

If their was no forum or no thread, he wouldn't make that money.

...and maybe some sort of promotion at events such as the GPPT at Stamford Bridge?
 Everyone there had "bought into the tour"....and no finer way to keep up with the latest news/ask questions/ moan  etc is here.....never mind everything else we have to offer

Let me put it a different way.

Tony pays the hosting costs for Blondepoker and we are all grateful he does, because if he didn't there would be no forum.

On Blondepoker there is a thread where some very knowledegable and winning punters dispense free advice for bets for him. Other posters risking losing their betting accounts by placing +ev bets for him.

Tony has won a substantial amount of money by following this information. If there was no forum and no thread, he wouldn't have won this money.

If anyone else has won money following this free information, that's great. But it is completely irrelevent, it is a simple by-product of the thread existing at all.
