Default Is it really a big deal

Ok a frequent member here for some months now, and because I like to play poker in the cheapest way possible freerolls are my favourite.

And I "discovered" the password freerolls a couple of months ago. And at this stage I am member of several forums, both Norwegian forums and international forums, I even run my own personal forum for some of my friends.

And the discussion around the whores is an everlasting discussion on EVERY forum, and frankly I am sick of it. ONE of the main reason why I am member of this site is because I might have been given a password on a site, and maybe even I joined the freeroll and then became a member here afterwards, maybe even I have distributed a password, not by accident, but on purpose, really dont think so, I am not even sure if I have joined your freerolls. But I have posted some of my thoughts, and that is my mission.

Most of the forums have 50-200$ freerolls, and if you take a closer look at the names that have joined the freerolls they are 50% exclusive members, 25% peoples like me that are members everywhere, and the final 25 are thieves, its a problem but not big enough to REALLY wanting to do something about it.

Us Scandinavians are a bit lucky because we have a lot of money, so the 50 dollars the excellent and hard working dude scrawnybob throws at us is just pocket money, thats probably why I never have really put much effort in your freerolls, we also have forums and they throw big bones like 500-2000$ freerolls from time to time, and the poker sites gives us that much cash because they see the economy of it. And that is also why the poker sites dont care if there are thieves among us.

This forum is one of the few forums that are represented with regular freerolls on the biggest site in the world, so I guess WE have a problem with thieves, and just IF we REALLY wanted to solve the problem we could work it out

The forum itself does the payout
Late password shipping
A ticket system instead of password
Banning from the pokersites if you have signed up in a freeroll and you are not a member of the forum. (3 strikes and you are out)

If there is a will there is always a way, but the sites dont care, I dont care and I am truly sorry that many of you care, but it only means competition, and more skilled players right?

Every week i keep track on 75 sites, and most of them offers a password freeroll, if I find a decent freeroll I want to join, I google the name of the freeroll, and very often I find the password, if not I do the searcing on the "thief-sites", and if I am really keen I do some asking around. And I ALWAYS join the forum that are hosting the freeroll. And for my own sake I post on the best of them, like this one! Only a post or two weekly, but enough to be recognized....

Now I guess many of you are really angry at me, because you think I am spreading the 4king passwords everywhere, believe me I am NOT, I guess I am proud, because I have been personally responsible for getting quite a few members into this site. I have a strict policy, if I find the password WIDE open, then I share (together with the forum name) but if it is a rule of posting or anything else, then I dont share, members only is something we have to protect, but from where I stand I disagree, I respect it and follow the rules, but I still disagree.

And for the multi-million companies that are running the industry, they are better off keeping us forums separated, then they can keep offering good deals to them who have the highest value in their opinion, and dont offer a really good system to prevent "thieves", it is not in their interest, and probably never will be....

And just sometimes I am way off-topic, so Id better call it the night.
