A farewell to all.

Well, that time has come for me to say goodbye. I've had fun and good fortune at the tables here on Sky. I've been fortunate to have won both, the mini and main in my time on here. I was fortunate enough to have won a UKOP rebuy event last year too aswell as a few other notable tourneys for a nice little profit. It paid for my wedding and honeymoon in NYC.
If I'm being totally honest I love the site because I love bounty hunters and I really like short handed play, but, I've just had enough. The software issues on here are a major gripe, the customer support when you report these issues just give you generic replies and don't give a chit.
Even if I wanted to carry on playing here I couldn't as it seems I have been doomswitched and gone broke after I withdrew most of the roll I'd built. I did cash out almost my whole roll to go to NYC and left myself short but to lose over a 12 month period since then is a bit of a joke for someone of my calibre.
I've taken my lumps though and have now switched my attention back to backgammon. I used to play as a kid and have just found out you can play online for money, so anyone waning to play just drop me a PM and we can get a game on sometime.
GL and run good in future.
Dave.

How do you define "Customer Support"?
You've started - not without justification - several threads complaining about this & that. I've addressed every one in detail, at length, & honestly.
Is that not high quality Customer Support? Don't think you'd get that at any other room.
Anyway, best of luck with your backgammon, & let's hope they don't flick that mythical doomswitch.
Take care.
I'm laughing like a good 'un at mumsie's post.
I used to have a lawn mower like that, too. It needed a bit of coaxing into life, & was a bit temperamental at times, but it was just the job, & I loved it as much as any man can love any lawnmower. One day, in a fit of stupidity, I chucked it in the skip & got myself a new one, think it was called something like "Pokerstar Mower".
Well, I needed an instruction manual to turn it on, & it had gadgetry all over the shop, little of which I understood.
I regretted skipping my old one ever since.
Let me just add that I know Dave, & he's getting a bit of a hard time here, & yes, I can see why. But he's a good guy really, so let's try to be understanding, he just gets frustrated with some things.
Fair play to him, at least he did not do the UPPER CASE thread title, adorned with the old triple salko punctuation.
Some sympathy is due, actually - he's a Sunderland supporter, & that's quite a cross to bear. Still, on the brighter side, it could have been worse - he could be a Newcastle fan.
Think that's called "between a rock & a hard place".
excellent.
just to add that cow is a very good player. he has been for a few years too. he was at his best two years ago when he was the cow's bullocks although this year he is more like ermintrude.
Some may remember Dave from SPT Newcastle, many years ago, when he made the Final Table & finished, I think, 8th.
The Final Table included GliterBabe (winner), the dreaded Daughter, (2nd) aka Jamie Louise Barrett ( the Daughter of the equally dreaded MOTHER), & a young lady - a really most impressive player - by the name of Rachel Costa, who finished 7th.
There was one of those crash bang wallop hands, think it was The Daughter with A-K, & Rachel Costa with Aces, & the Board ran out A-Q-J-10-2, giving The Daughter an unlikely double up, & Rachel got busted.
The Daughter won about £3,000 for that, & promptly ran away with a policeman.
You probably think I make this stuff up, but every word is true.
