To everyone else, I appreciate your kind words and enthusiasm for this site.

I am striving to have a fun, informative place where people can feel free to be themselves and speak their minds, while at the same time avoiding the clutter of shock/porn pictures and domination by trolls.

I'm sure there will be some growing pains on the way, as well as some degree of technical failure (I'm still seeing some server errors, for example).

My motivations for this project are exactly what I wrote a few weeks ago: My primary reason for opening this site is that I want a consolidated place on the web where people can talk about shady things happening in poker, and where visitors can find all of these stories in one place. My secondary reason is to provide a community where people can get together and talk about whatever.

I'm not interested in flaunting e-power, fighting with trolls, or promoting myself. I'm 40 years old with a young child, and really don't have time for bullshit anymore. I look forward to seeing this site grow, and seeing what it can become.
