Interesting...either something's up or one of the parties ended the partnership. Not sure if it's indicative of anything since neither party has addressed it yet, but this is newsworthy in my estimation since they had the "exclusive" for Lock's last big "interview" a month or so ago - and I can't find it on the site (though other previous articles on Lock are still there by using the search function).

Both Chris and Lock Poker think the other is a liability to their business!

Would you like to elaborate why you dropped all Lock links all of a sudden Chris? it seems odd that you would do such thing considering your strong believe that Lock has all player funds on hand and is currently bringing on new processors. Why would you drop a poker site from being listed on your "gambling authority" site if you have faith in the complany and were even invited to the party in Porto. Going back deleting previously published articles over publishing a correction or follow up is bad prctice though Sir....

^^ Talked to Shane - it's just "new creative" going up on his site. I asked him what that meant, and he said "new banners and messages".

The links to the original Larsen interviews still work - but couldn't find it on the 911 site via their search engine.

You complain about 2+2ers being rude and disrepectful to you (some are) but you are okay with making comments such as this? Treat others the way you would like to be treated comes to mind.

If I dont have fun with it occasionally I would go insane, I talk to Hammerman occasionally and Im pretty sure he wont be too upset I pointed out he could have just googled it.

As I said in the other thread there are things that Lock arent doing well and we need to do better, but the paranoid search for more proof of weird facts just gets ridiculous. I mean if you think a page has been deleted from the internet surely a google search is one of your first attempts to find the page, I know it was mine and I found it right away. Instead we have multiple posts from people freaking out about a possible change that doesnt actually exist.

Thanks Shane.

I was replying to the previous statement by Nutz about the interviews being gone and like he just said the sites search doesn't bring them up for whatever reason. I dislike your comment as we always got and get along and I addressed Chris not you.

I'm one of the few who has never said in any thread that Lock is broke or comingling player funds with operational funds though there is indications for that being the case. However, not guilty until proven differently has always been my point no matter what else has been dragged through the dirt.

However don't spin this because the only people responsible for all the "lock is broke" and other talks are your very own CEO and the continued failure to communicate with your players and getting on top of the cashout situation which has now been going on for 8 months straight.

Don't put me in line with whatever tinfoil hat brigade you have in mind... "Brigade"... sepaking of it....

Meh you was wrong.. I got upset

Edit:
Maybe people could find stuff easier on G911 if Chris would put some work in the framework and bugs over wasting his time on this forum.

Edit2:
Looking forward to the new creatives. Wonder What amazing gfx design they gonn put in the little 100x20 space on the right. And the yellow link on top of the site about the despoit bonus.. maybe they changing it to blue and put ACR there as placeholder while working out the correct color code for the new link?

Muaaahhhh.. anyone seen my tinfoil hat? I wanna wrap up my left overs from lunch.

Maybe if the company you represent didn't owe so many people so much money for such a long time, you wouldn't have to deal with so much negativity that you have to "have fun with it" to keep your sanity. Heaven forbid that you would be inconvenienced 1% as much as your customers.

Maybe Lock wouldn't be the miserable failure that it is if its management had less fun with it and were actually professional.

I usually don't double post but I had to sit back a minute, read my post again, read the follow up replies again, roll me a smoke, took a wee and will now reply.

Shane. Nutz merly "noticed" the changes on 911 and came here to find an answer after Chris seems to be very avid in this thread. Like I said above don't blame anything any member of this board writes on them because the flags for Lock are currently on red and "anything" that just seems even more out of the ordinary rings a bell. You should understand that.

@Chris,
I revert my previous statement about removing the news articles from your site being shady as you haven't. Maybe get your sites search fixed or use your article tags right so one doesn't have to leave your site and google for an article to come back to your site to see if it is there or not. bad for traffic if vistors can't find what they looking for.
07-10-2013 , 10:20 AM
Maybe g911 took the ads down for lack of payment.

You've just won a tinfoil hat. It will be in the next batch
07-10-2013 , 11:40 AM
Well, Chris is still here shilling in another thread, so I guess he didn't remove the ads due to a crisis of conscience.

They are under the Bookmaker button second row from top.

Our techies are working on the new G911 web design so might be testing stuff out.

Agreed...I hate our search feature myself and will pass on to our techies but this should be fixed with the new site redesign.

Here is a suggestion. Instead of showing up every 2-3 days to whine about how you are going insane. Why don't you start responding to the very serious questions about what is going with your company. you keep saying "we need to better". Are you serious???
If so, here are a couple of ways to do just that:

1- Get your a$$ in this thread and respond to people's inquiries and questions.
2- Have your CEO start telling their customers what the hell is going on with their money and your company.
3- Stop saying "we need to do better", and demonstrate that with actions.

And stop with the self pity. Its unbecoming...........

Have the "wrong" winners been awarded?

Will the July leaderboard correct at the end of the month?

Will the correct winners of the $5000 WSOPE get an expedited cash out?
07-11-2013 , 05:09 AM
They just fixed it for me, got 3rd place.

For July, leaderboard seems to be working at the moment and updating constantly.

We discovered a problem with the feed that powered the leaderboard.

We have now stopped relying on the previous feed and now run off a new feed we have full control over so we can trust the data it provides.

We have now corrected the payments from last months leaderboards, anyone who received their winnings in error keeps their winnings as the error was on our end and anyone who received too little or nothing at all has now been paid the full amount they should have initially received.
07-11-2013 , 08:42 AM
Sick luck for those guys.

Oh look. Lock is still capable of doing something reasonable when they mess up.

I like the new creative - (s) if there is more than one. Your gfx designer really did an awesome job. Understandable that he took down the old creative(s) first before putting the new ones up. (Bad practice btw to take affiliate links and creatives down instead of overwriting the files on the server side but what do I know, I'm only a gaming consultant and web developer)

Spoiler:


But this.. is so hilarious once again...
07-15-2013 , 10:40 AM
Maybe if you sign up for Lock via gambling911 links you get expedited cashouts

Spoiler:
No one do this...
