    Hi Dohhhhhhh I have had to delete your post as it gave a direct link to another poker site. Mr White I have deleted your post as it was a reply to Dohhhhhh's which included the same link. Thank you for your understanding Steve

    I've had to cut a few posts. As per this earlier post by Steve (and the forum rules post sticky in each forum), direct links to competitors sites are not permitted and will be removed.

    no worries.. was just trying to help someone who wants to get their money out the site and there was no other way to say how to do it other than post their 'new site'

    Well ive been listening to Quadjacks live, best show atm talking about the situation, highly recommend listening to it, they say 80% chance on stars $$ is safe but only 25% on tilt.

    Also I would love to put more on skypoker but realistic i would be missing out on thousands of pounds every month from rakeback... really need to get the system sorted as thats why most people i know dont play here

    For crying out loud...

    I go on a little break on Thursday, decide to totally de-tech myself (no Internet whatsoever)  and I get back to this?!?!?

    Will comment when I figure out what the heck is happening.  One thing I will say is that PS recently registered a UK domain name and have moved to a .EU domain since the DOJ intervention.  Seems they had at least a contingency plan and are running fine at the mo.

    Party must finally feel vindicated for being the one 'big' site to immediately go along with the Internet Gaming Act from the start.

    But despite all your concerns about how sites are doing this you've been running at least 6 poker accounts?

    Isn't that tampering with the US mail and therefore also a federal offence?

    It's the USA they make the rules up as they go along, look at the invasion of Iraq.

    That was a liberation not an invasion.

    Same difference like.

    Isn't there a difference between The US Postal System and DHL?

    It's a bit like comparing The Royal Mail with The Home Delivery Network.  i.e. Once loses 1/6th of all mail and accidentally delivers empty birthday cards.  The other only delivers when you are guaranteed not to be at home.

    Anyway, it's Fed Ex the US should be worried about.  It's got "Fed"(s) in the name, even I can see that one.

    I'll get my coat and pop over to Area 51 now.
