No, it was Black Friday. Even the forum that shall not be named had to shutter and merge half their subs. 6 years later, there are still subs being culled: I noticed HSNL isn't in the sidebar anymore and HUNL is a ghost town.[/FONT]

Fair comment. Amazing the level to which this particular community has died though - online poker still thrives outside the US so you'd expect plenty of communities to still thrive too.

I remember dwarfman getting dwarfmanned. As with eupho and iopq

Sorry if being tardy but I don't know what this means?

Does it?

Does it?

A matter of opinion I guess, but I would strongly argue yes. I think the boom in the 2000s was almost a freak event for online poker, never to be repeated. Since UIGEA numbers have of course dropped off, but certainly not fallen off a cliff. Stars still getting up to 200k active on weekends.

I also find the “games aren’t beatable anymore” argument unfounded. Again - the boom was a unique event... 3-4 fish on every table up to 200NL just isn’t a normal thing. Games are tougher, but still extremely beatable and always will be.
