one more suggestion:

instead of having a single one monthly, say $100/$200, freeroll on stars, why not have *weekly* $25/$50 ones?

this should get ppl excited, which should in turn lead to increased activity/traffic on the forum (like it or not, ppl, noobs or regulars, will have to get/remain actively engaged in it) which should in turn lead to more linked signups/deposits thru the forum, and so on, and so forth...

hosting a pvt tourney on stars is IMHO as good of an advertisement for a forum/site as one can possibly get short of buying TV time...

i see the forum now has somewhat fewer than 500 members. with a few regular tourneys on stars, it should break the 1K barrier easy and move steadily up. this should also in turn naturally give more weight to the forum when negotiating deals with the poker sites, etc etc...

and yes of course this all should attract its share of password sellers, multiple acct cheats and the usual riff-raff, but thats the unfortunate side effect of things, alas. so be it...on the flip side, it will also attract a good number of honest poker sharks/enthusiasts too.

so, TP, whaddya say?

I say it's worth consideration, for sure... just playing it by ear right now.

Dear Thelaterdays,

If you think there is any chance in hell I'm going to let you play in this freeroll if you make 50 random, useless, worthless, in the wrong threads, etc posts, you are clearly mistaken. In fact, I'll lay 2:1 that you get banned from the forum long before that would happen.

I'm going to be nice and give you a fresh shot at this (I'll be nice and credit with with "1" as of right now), but please don't insult me and the rest of this forum with those "quality" posts.

For the record, everyone else's "normal" posting has been fine. But this type of crap is not:
