Re: FTP Discussion Thread (Everything but big new news goes here. Cliffs in OP)

For the gajillionth time, don't use this thread to attempt to buy or sell FTP funds, or to attempt to solicit offers to buy/sell FTP funds.

black_friday, knock it the **** off.

I did clarify the buying/selling of FTP funds a few weeks ago, since I was asked why, if it was 2p2s policy not to allow such transactions, they were allowed in the HS trading thread.

Ultimately, what it boils down to is that 2p2s policy is to allow buying/selling of poker site funds in only two threads (the HS trading thread and the IP trading thread), and the moderators of those threads call the shots. Trading funds from ANY site outside of those threads is not allowed on 2p2.

In the case of FTP funds, the rulers of IP decided not to allow trading in their thread, quite likely because of the high likelihood of problems/scams if/when FTP ever re-emerges. The HS mods decided to allow it, presumably because that is a much smaller and tighter knit community.

This means that, for all intents and purposes, trading of FTP funds is not allowed on 2p2 unless you are a HS regular. Sucks for everyone else, I guess, but that's the way it is.

So stop asking about it in here.

I don't think it's deserved bc GGI has been a pretty solid poster for the last couple years, hopefully he can get reinstated

Have a heart. Unban GO Get It.

I would like to publicly thank you three for getting my back over the last couple of days. Obv I'm unbanned now, and it was great to see support from friends and Brandead2000, who I do not know at all. TY sir.

And given the reason I was unbanned, I feel it necessary to tell the people itt to head over to the two plus two magazine and give this months issue a good read. It will be well worth your time.

Regardless, it is not worth it for PS to even invest $10M in software. It won't have a significant impact on their revenues.
Ya because that's what you should strive for in business--to be 'ALMOST" as good as the competition !!!

I actully preferred FTPs presentation over PS, but for every big FTP fan like you there is a PS fan singing its praises just as much. No harm done having an opinion, but it seems mostly irrevelant opinion due to the present situation

the responce was because someone said they were "almost" as good so why bother trying to get better !

had nothing to do with singing praises although i personally believe FT is better. It had more to do with why bother to try and get better if your "almost" as good.

I am sure you got a lot of clients saying you were "almost" as good as the other guy !
