New season?? for the fall?

[Poker Orifice]

Anxiously awaiting to hear about future plans for 4king in the fall. Any ideas on the subject Bob?
I had a great time playing in the last season - enjoyed playing for a new team & had alot of fun in the games. Looking forward to another round & curious to hear what sites we'll be playing on. Also hoping to pass along info. to new players & to get new sign-ups to play in the next season (have a few neighbours who I think will likely be interested - - just rented out apts. to some online poker enthusiasts and some of my neighbours on the street play as well).

hi

sorry to put a damp squib on things but dont get too excited

next season (probably starting in a couple of weeks) is going to be a very much reduced season - sorry but I cant fund 4 leagues, additional prizes and posting prizes

there will probably be one league (at most) probably at fulltilt

sorry but times are tough and I cant continue to subsidise all the games as I have been since forever - the kids have to eat first - sorry

I havent had a chance to get it organised - at the moment there seems to be alot of changes / cutbacks and staff moves at alot of the sites which doesnt help

cheers SB

ps. I hope that this will be a tempory thing but without meaning to moan on or bang on about the biz side - the forum & forum games are a total loss / total cost for me so when the rev from non forum members visitors signing up to the sites doesnt cover the costs of the games then I cant afford to run them

I wish there was a way that I could be signed up to pokersites thru 4king links Bob. When I began playing online poker I had opened up accounts on poker sites prior to even ever knowing of the existence of poker forums. Kinda sucks to know that something couldn't go towards a forum (this one) that I want to support & instead just stays in the pockets of the poker site. It would've helped me out a ton to have found a pokerforum first, prior to making depsoits & opening up poker site accounts..... sometimes I think about others who are considering getting started & wonder how a message could get to them so that they could join a poker forum first (help them to avoid pitfalls, learn how to play (better), etc. etc.). I guess 'google search' is their friend.

Thought of a small gesture/idea... of how to give back (albeit a small one).

I'd like to donate my posting prize(s) (current & future) back to the forum to put towards a prize for the next league (not to add 'extra' $'s to the prizepool, but to help donate to the existing prizepool).

Sorry to read about this Bob.

Maybe some prizes can be take out to help you?.

I think you give 12 prizes to top posters and 3 aditional for nominations, but to be honest nominations are not working.

a 3-5 prizes for posts should be enough and 1 for nominations (in my personal view this is really not need it, just look top posters and im sure all will keep posting even with out the prize).

In this way i totally ok to give away any prize for posting in the future, not to added in a prize pool but just to save that $ to your pocket.

About leagues.

If you have a really hard time funding leagues prizes for individual/teams, etc.

in Fulltilt min transfer is $1, so maybe we could fund the league with a fee from each one.

Something small like $1 by head for the season, like a sign in fee. we get around 30 players in fulltilt games, so if each put just $1 before season start you got there $30 for the team/individual prizes at end of season.

Maybe also can cut 1 place for individuals that instead of pay 3 places pay 2?.

I don´t know, just tryng to help. Even when not in a team now this was my first poker forum and i really don´t want to see this forum end like others recently.

Certainly understandable if the funds aren't available, maybe at least can have some forum tournaments with no added prize, at least we can still play together (if possible).

Also, why not allow all these spammers to keep spamming if they join a site through 4king link.

I agree with PO, though I enjoy and greatly appreciate posting prizes, if it was a choice, I'd rather play poker for the prizes. Whatever happens, I appreciate all this forum offers and by all means, FEED THOSE KIDS, I've got 4 of my own so I know where you're coming from SB.

Doubt whether they signed up through any forums links. But even if they did, posting has no effect on that.

I was joking, just seems like all of sudden there spammers every night.

[Terminal Frost]

Ah

Yes it does seem so. 3 or 4 a day I have to remove/ban. Getting sick of it.
