I need to make a forum fish list now. Anybody have one handy?

[custom36 4]

I've really gotta wonder what it would've taken you people to be happy.  Because...wow...you're being pretty ungreatful.  This was definately worth the buildup.  If you don't like it, well, there's the door, I suppose.  The forums slow because there's so many people on here checking out the new site and the new features and everything else.  It will speed up soon enough.  What Daniel has done here is incredible and he has done all of this for you guys without it costing you a penny.  Not ONE PENNY.  You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I see where you're coming from, and I'm not knocking DN or the people who help run this site, but as much as I respect DN and what he's done with these forums it's a little naive to believe this is all coming from the bottom of his heart.He's opening a pokeroom and AUTOMATICALLY gets a thousand or so DEDICATED players on his site, and gets a bunch of free publicity through it. Look at how much Full Tilt has poneyed up in advertising, how much do you think they would pay for DN's name and forum contacts?The money/prizes he's putting up are great, but probably amount to much less than what Full Tilt had to spend to get the number of dedicated players DN is getting by making FCP a pokerroom (and let's not forget that it's a skin... if you're telling me there's not a decent cut in there for him... lol.. let's just say I'd be really shocked).This is financially +EV for DN, and now that he expects to take the forum member's money, they have a right to question the product they're paying rake and entry fees for.

Yeah, it's probably +EV for Daniel, but you know what? He's probably going to use most, if not all, of that money to sponsor other fun times for the forum such as Weekend with Daniel 2, all of the protege contests (there will be more than one), the next WSOP contest, and many other contests. There are also costs to updating and maintaining the website along with probably having to pay the website designer.Also, he's probably opening the poker room on the PR network so that it doesn't flop like PokerMountain did. Do you really want to play on a site that has 1000 players? Let's be honest, how long will that last? It took Full Tilt quite a few years to get 10,000 players and they're still only the 4th most popular site on the net. Doing something like this, and having a good say in what will happen in the future, shows the vision that Daniel has for this community and this poker site.Finally, to everyone, please remember that we're about 5 hours into the relaunch. 5 HOURS! Do you really expect it to be perfect immediately? Give us time to work out the kinks before you trash it.

The natives grow restless...I can't say I am much of a fan of pokerroom (or skins). Their new rake system is horrendous, and their bonuses are plentiful but still not good enough to negate that rake

I just went through the motions of making a deposit using Visa (I have one of the few banks that still allows Visa deposits to gambling sites, lucky me) - and nowhere does it mention having to send information after the fact. If we do have to do this like BigFish says, it needs to mentioned BEFORE WE SEND THE MONEY. Can someone please verify that this is the case? I can't deposit until I know I'm not going to have to send people copies of my electric bills . . .

Lookin at the bonus deal for charter members....is it just me or does this seem like a real good deal? I haven't played on here yet but the way you get points, it seems like it would be a lot easier to clear than on other sites.

I think this site is good!!

110% bonus that clears at 3x is an excellent deal.

I won $7 on the free spins in the casino, that's pretty cool . . . again, so far no complaints from me other than the sticking it to credit card depositers.

I don't care where that money goes that he rakes off me. As far as I'm concerned fcp is now a business, and it will begin to be treated as such. He sold the name, and is going to make a lot more money if this thing take's off than it's going to cost him for forum weekends etc. He doesn't need to create a pokerroom to raise money for contests... he could sell 50/50 tickets for the weekend and he'd make a profit on this site. He stands to make hundred's of thousands a couple years down the road if he's got a large stake, which I assume he would, and he manages to turn the site into one of the bigger skins.As for the bugs I agree, people should relax.... give it a couple of weeks.

Daniel can sell his site for any amount he wants, to anyone he wants, whenever he wants. Did you start posting here as a favor to him? He owes nobody anything, you chose to be here and you can choose to leave. My money is on you aren't going any damn where.

In the other thread someone mentioned you can only withdraw once a week and up to $2500 without paying fees?I've never withdrawn $2500 in a shot at PokerRoom, but I never had to pay a fee for more than 1 W/D a week there.I also never had to 'verify' my credit card there either. Will there be an FAQ for all of these new rules somewhere?

My thoughts exactly given the laws on gambling online in the US.

I'm almost positive that I'm a charter member. I filled out the application on the first day it came out. Howdo I find out if I really am one. I read that DN sent out an email to all charter members but i did not get one.

Same here. I never received any emails after the initial email after signing up as a charter member.

Did you get an email when you first signed up as a charter member? If you did, then use THAT email address to sign up with the FCP Poker Room. That is all you have to do. If you want to make sure (like I did), just call or chat with support to make sure.Side note - my apologies to everyone for the slow responses. I'm loading a page every 2 minutes here.
