OK we are working on but do NOT have finalized several top poker pros that participate at the new poker show at the venetian in vegas - some possibilities include negreanu, todd brunson, matasow, just to name a few - but again this is NOT finalized and in the very beginning stages

As far as UFC we have reached out to the new UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesner and have opened a dialogue with him

2. Then I misunderstood - and should not of closed that thread. I thought WE were being accused of selling addresses and if I was mistaken then it is my mistake and I apologize.

3. I personally did not ban people for drama they were causing on OTHER boards - I am actually unaware of that situation and will talk to Daniel about it and I agree this should not be done in the future. Bannable offenses should only be a result of what happens HERE not elsewhere

4. Brent - I apologize for calling you babo..just short for your handle but if you would prefer Brent thats cool w me - was not meant to be a insult..sheesh

So yes you say you made only $5 per shirt but if you don't put your time into it how much did you really make and no this is not meant to insult you it is meant for you to think about others feelings.

Sorry Jitz but I read and reread this paragraph 4x and I still dont understand what you are asking/saying

The shirts/hats are all sold out..I think we should move on

I'm not the one who complained. My neighbor called me Brad for three years. Call me what you will, I could care less if you call me an a$$.

OK Brad it is

Well, ok I guess you need food. What is your opinion of spamming to gain members...

Why do you think that a majority of longtime members are upset, just because of change or do you realize that other things have changed.

Spamming in all forms I am against..I dont like spam I am.

Why do I think some members are upset? Well I wouldnt want to put words in their mouth. I suspect its a combination of what you said..upset because of change..and perhaps we are not as lenient with bashing/cursing/insults as CL was before I got here..so probably a combination of both..and I am certain somethings could of been handled better (I could of handled some things better) and hopefully with time we will get better at managing drama..its a learning experience for sure

Have the manufatureres been asked their opinions on the new site? According to Daniel they are going to be really responible for posting events and what not. Are they on board?

baboruger · 11-20-2008, 04:20 PM

Also, can we get 1 post with the updated rules? the current posted rules state that there is an offense structure, yet you refrenced a post by Stogie that has an update. Can the actual site rules be updated. There is also signature rules that are not in the actual rules.

joncaputo · 11-20-2008, 04:23 PM

Many of the large ones we have spoken to are real excited. Think its cool we are trying something that hasnt been tried before. I think the general consensus is 'cautiously optimistic' - but that is to be expected. This is a learning process..and I am open to discussing suggestions that will help make CL better. Just want to try to keep it civil and constructive.

Here is a question: Should we consider removing ALL bans when we relaunch and give everyone a clean slate? So anyone that was banned on ANY of the 3 boards will regain full access.

Working on a complete rule list - need to get with Daniel and the mods on this.
