    Default The forum junkie

    i, by default, have become a forum junkie!

    it's all too confusing and too many associated games

    i would like to play a few simple games with some friends

    league games are disappearing altho i've not been a part...i could be...

    lots of other affordable games are disappearing on other sites

    is it just going to come down to big buy-ins and cut throat...ok, i'll give it a go...but it's a shame...poker's more than just money here, isn't it??

    This is probably the only site left that isn't a whore...or a pimp...

    Yes, forum games are definitely a way to play some friendly poker and maybe burn some steam. Being so competitive I love leagues and the opportunity to fight for 1st place in rankings. eeeeh who am I kidding? I just like talking smack to others and calling ppl donks. And it's never about fun. Always about the Benjamins

    Default you mean the $5 buyins

    hi

    BTW I'm really glad you think we are "one of the few sites left that doesnt whore or pimp" ... while I have to make 4kingpoker as a whole site earn I hope that doesnt result in too much advertising or promotion and I try to keep the hard sell to a minimum

    not sure if you mean the 2 games out of 8 games that are $5 buyins for this season ?

    anyway if so we havent done it for any altereror motive other than many members have requested bigger buyins time after time ... many I think wanted $10 buyin league on its own ... but I dont think that would work and I cant fund the addition cost for multiple leagues with different buyins at the same site

    so this is a bit of a compromise ... 2 games out of 8 on all the sites for a season

    then I can see which ones are potentially popular

    we used to have alot less games but all with $50 added ... we reduced it to $25 added in order to keep more games

    I think that main reason alot of other forums are losing games is because they were mostly funded by the poker rooms and not directly by the forum ... thats fine IF the forum generates more new players for the poker room that is funding it ...

    if not then they pull the plug pretty quick now and even the older forums cant just assume rooms will roll them games all the time

    eventually forums will face a choice of either funding more and more games themselves, some games or

    the alternative is to promote barely known sites on small networks where the rooms may be keener to get some sort of exposure to players ... that isnt something I'm very keen on and I try to chop and change league sites as little as possible

    in terms of the poker rooms own games - I dont think the small games will disapear - they are an important part of the poker eco system

    however I think alot of pure forum focussed sites that dont pull in enough signups (as they mostly come from site visitors rather than forum members) will find they cant fund games themselves and the sites wont fund them either

    its a shame but I also think there are probably too many forums out there

    cheers scrawnybob

    well written scrawnybob. cheers! at a time when some forums have had to band together and form "networks" 4kingpoker stands strong all by itself.
