    if nigstop never pissed off people Skatz would of never been made. Becoming another nwp is impossible because of the state poker is as a whole. every forum has inside jokes either people get with it or they dont. If the general core of posters stayed the same at Boris I think you would of had the balance of inside jokes and content. new people are hard to come by for a poker forum but I think with no civil war at Boris it would of been a force.

    True story.

    I went through the sign-up process once for Boris, and it had a question like, on what game was Boris based on?

    Given the Soviet theme, and the fact that I was out of town during the Carter fallout/Boris start, and with the fucked up sense of humor and inside jokes of the membership, I spent like 15 minutes googling Russian card games while the system rejected them.


    Eventually I just gave up. I pm'd Gamble later and asked him, and he just laughed at me and said poker, what else?


    That had never even entered my mind. This is why I never posted there or at Skatz. When you're bad at the internet like me, and always think everything is an inside joke or some level and over-think the obvious, I am probably better off in the shallow end of the pool.

    I don't think that Boris was any more inside than any other forum. At least not for me. Sure it helped to know the posters but a lot of the threads that we are seeing here are the same kinds you'd see at Boris.

    neverstop dice rolling for bans was the pinnacle of poker forum administration. and the boris poker league was a thing of beauty (except for when my team captain kept cracking my aces week after week...lll im looking in your direction). and the "boris ring game" a drunken hoot. jiveturkey aka aids factory...rest in peace sweet prince.


    btw whatever happened to soiledlinens? is he here posting under a different screen name?


    also i recently met a poker player at my brothers wedding. we started talking about poker and poker forums. he said he posts at 2+2. when i said i used to post at nwp his revulsion was palpable. lol.

    And for the record, when I "came over" it was to tell a group of circle jerkers that you were a group of circle jerkers. The last intention I had was

    relating to any or all of youse. It was suicide by mod if I remember correctly.

    Same here and yes. Ian produced a radio segment once that was dedicated to maliciously gossiping about me and 99.9 percent of what was said was total bullshit. He never apologized for that. He also supported anything racist that was posted, giving the site a bitter bigoted flavor. A site can have a few racists and be fine, but when the owner gets behind it, it is a recipe for failure - such a turn off. Probably the biggest mistake was the ingroup mentality - anyone new (and even those of us who were old timers) was unilaterally attacked and driven out, so growth factor was nil. It's a shame because in the beginning, before he bought the site from Phantom, it had a lot of potential - some really talented, funny people.

    That's really funny.

    I haven't been on Skatz in months, but when I tried to give it a serious shot it seemed like every single thread was an inside joke, and you had to have encyclopedic knowledge of who everyone was, including who all of their friends and enemies were. I quickly got tired of being confused.

    Someone changed my pic and title to something extremely misogynistic and tasteless over there. Truth is, I would post if it was remedied back to what it was before. Although I am totally lost with the inside inside jokes at this point.

    vwls i spent waaaay to much time on boris and yet i have no idea what you mean about chasing off newbies. i remember it being pretty welcoming.

    as for skatz - what would you like your pic and title changed to? post it here and I'll make the changes.

    barry - it isn't so much that there's inside jokes but rather absurdity based humor that you aren't geared to get.

    WOW really? It's so weird to me how people experience things so differently.

    On Skatz - just put my title back to what it was: I honestly don't remember the exact wording. I think it was something like "Queen of Skatz and only female member"... something along those lines. Something funny but not insulting. And obv change the pic to the FU lips or something. Let me know when you have fixed it.

    BTW I always thought you did a bang-up job with the poker league, and not just because I picked you for the job. You were genuinely good at it. I also miss our avatar bets.

    Oops - I may have the wrong person now that re-read the posts you made. What are your former forum names?
