Web Server Problems - WCOOP Freeroll

You have 5 posts in 3 years you have been a member. I know people who have been registered for 3 days who have contributed more strategy than you've done, and yet you wouldn't let them play? I wonder why

First of all you are the one who doesn't want 10k people in his tourney, but sends 5 mails just to make sure he gets a ton of new members with the ticket give away and a lot of publicity for the site/forum. We all now that this is the purpose, so people would register to pokerstars with your site so you could make money.
But on the other hand you are the one stating to give the password only 5 minutes before the tournament start because you would otherwise get the 1 timers just wanting the password. You see, that does not count up.


That I don't post doesn't mean I don't read things here. First of all I registered with your site on Pokerstars so you are making money out of me. If you organised this ticket give away FOR your MEMBERS than you should make the terms of participating different. So pls don't give me bullsh*t.

No bullshit involved. It's very simple. Pokerstars offer us this tournament because they want to promote WCOOP. We want to attract new members with a great freeroll which has $2,900 added. So we allow new posters to post, so that hopefully they post and they keep posting. We want new posters to come to the forum and like it here. Therefore, annoying people by crashing the site on purpose wouldn't make sense.

10,000 players getting the password from a Russian freeroll site v 400 players who only had to post in a forum to get an entry worth nearly $10 each. I know which one I'd prefer, a forum post hardly takes long. The password was guessed at 1pm today and the tournament filled in an hour. If we released the password an hour before the tournament, it would be full before our members even had a chance to register.

It's just a case of something going wrong which we really didn't expect. As you can see, I'm working as hard as I can to correct this and I've apologised at least 3 times.

yeah , give him his due Pascal he's made 5 posts in 2 days ...all about this tournament and the other post he made was about the stars freeroll back in 2010. Cobra, If you are so concerned about the Qualification to participate would you think that only people who have made at least 20 posts before this month can play the tournament would be a better way to reward the forum's regular members and encourage new members to stay and post regularly so that they can take part in future giveaway tournaments like this rather than one hit wonders who just post to get the password and are never heard from again.

Diaspora scores)))

They would never do that, because it is marketing for the site. They don't want to keep the numbers small. They want people on their site and people registering so they can make money from them, just like me.
Do you think they send 5 e-mails to keep the numbers small? Pls, don't be a hypocrite.

And I have no problem with that, but don't act all "oh they do this especially for us" kind of bullsh*t.

So ofcourse i have a reason to ask questions about freerolls, because that is my advantage for registering with this site.
