JDMcNugent7 · #10 10-02-06, 03:54 AM

how can 1 douchebag change every1's lives so fucking easily?

Aequitas58 · #11 10-02-06, 03:55 AM

This is unreal.

I guess we will see how Party responds tomorrow (possibly with an alert when you start the program or an email from Support).

BrianSwa · #12 10-02-06, 04:02 AM

yea this is very very unreal!!! 1 dude takes out the biggest online poker room on the net. Guess I will be forced to play more live if this shit goes on, Lou got any rooms for rent?

imagine if stars follows suit! how shitty.

Tony Cheval · #13 10-02-06, 04:03 AM

Yes, because Bush wrote this bill, pushed it through Congress, then unethically (if completely legally as it stands) got it piggybacked onto 'port security' legislation no sane Congresscritter would dare vote against.

Please, as bad as this is, will all you people with NO FUCKING CLUE OF HOW THE US GOVERNMENT WORKS please just stop.

JDMcNugent7 · #14 10-02-06, 04:04 AM

stars is done too...

BrianSwa · #15 10-02-06, 04:07 AM

stars is pulling out also, wtf is going on. Home of the free my ass!!!!

this is total bs.

Zybomb · #16 10-02-06, 04:12 AM

This is absolutely ridiculous. I realize 75% of my play comes Live now... but still, unreal.

JDMcNugent7 · #17 10-02-06, 04:14 AM

i think in time they will find a way to make it work and regulate it.

MAYHEM45 · #18 10-02-06, 04:16 AM

TP, whats gonna happen to this site?

BrianSwa · #19 10-02-06, 04:18 AM

I was thinking this same thing, I mean guess there will be a new live play section. I'am really really concdering a transfer to philli now.

MAYHEM45 · #20 10-02-06, 04:21 AM

Stolen from 2p2

Aequitas58 · #21 10-02-06, 04:24 AM

I just processed my withdrawal request from Party. I can only help but think that Party has the foresight to know they are pulling out of the US market, because something like this is agreed upon in advance. That being said, I hope that the recent September reload wasn't a ploy to get people to deposit more money into the site knowing that a majority of the accounts will be frozen??

If in the event that these sites close down sometime this week, what kind of laws or regulations are set up to protect OUR money at their site?

And that's when my money goes back in.

BrianSwa · #22 10-02-06, 04:28 AM

what is stopping them from just saying screw you guys? I mean I dont think the big sites would do this but if you have youre money in a small site you better get it out ASAP seeing as I see them just closing accounts and saying screw you all.

I mean obviously our goverment dont give a shit why should they?

Aequitas58 · #23 10-02-06, 04:30 AM

That's my point.

BrianSwa · #24 10-02-06, 04:49 AM

yea know that just want to emphasis it!
