Less frequent poker freerolls

ixgames wrote: Hi

We will be having less frequent poker freerolls for a period of time. Why are we doing this ?

1) Awaiting what will happen with the UIGEA

2) Most of are visitors are from the United States and they cant play for real money with some exceptions.

A change of the current situation can happen very quickly but it's not Permanent!

Just visit the message board as you usually do, post and keep the community alive because people finds their way to us. We will announce poker tournaments as done in the past just a bit less frequently. It will also give us some time to plan for the future. Some of the things that are on our minds is a new forum design that will improve the community in different ways. This is a friendly gambling community and we want to keep it that way.

What can you do to help us ?

1) Post about industry news and keep the discussions alive. When something new happens at poker rooms, post about it in our forum topics. Players wants to keep themself up to date with information. Discuss different strategies, poker hands and other parts that might interest our members.

2) Tell others about us, friends, family members or on various internet communities. Linking to us is also a way of showing your appreciation.

Again, this is not a complete halt of tournaments. This post is just letting you know about the situation for the moment being.

I'm from France and we have and will have some troubles with it too as our governement decided to legiferate about OL gambling.
Some rooms already closed for us as Cake and we will have some others to come soon, probably all majors rooms, as they will have to ask for a special permission to be able to admit french players. Hopefully, this won't last too long and i'll be able to play where i want to, as i done in the past years.
The fight is not ended yet.

Hoping that our elected officials will come to their combined senses and come up with a resolution that will satisfy all parties in the conversation before June 1st rolls around. Failing that, realize that progress is being made and allow another delay of the implementation of the UIGEA rules for the time being. . .[/FONT]

Few clicks would done it easily and maybe attract new members to your forum.
Cause, i'm not allowed to use other forums to announce your own tourneys, of course, and cannot always link to my friends there too, nor i would look like a second zone member promoting other forums.
About being more useful to the forum, i feel like it's not much about being a community but more about creating a friendly atmosphear which is owners/members dependent. :warning

Hope that help. 😁
