i absolutely agree. and tho im still a newbie here, id most definitely remain a regular and frequent contributor here (as well as suffer thru non-stars sites for all those forum challenge thingies) if a *stars-based* league/pvt tourney series of any sort is formed up here. again, could be freerolls, buyins or combo thereof.
almost all forums/sites are scared off from hosting pvt stuff on stars because:
a) stars is not desperate for business unlike all the new, micro poker joker sites popping up all over the place and giving away freerolls galore
b) theyre too small so they dont have enough 'signup/deposit pull'
c) forum owner(s) cant afford/dont want to spare a few bux to set up a league/series of pvt tourneys, as it 'doesnt pay off' (see a-b above)...i understand. business is business
to each their own. i still think that hosting pvt events on stars is probly the best way to advertise one's forum/site short of buying tv/radio time. but of course it cannot put the forum owner at risk of losing all/most of his overall forum profits
