Heh, yeah just noticed and came here to post the same.

Shows what I know.

I never minded the idea of poker being in the name, but I'm a little surprised gambling was removed altogether. It's a good thing symbolically; not sure if this means those rare Internet casino threads will be moved elsewhere. I hope not.

It is sill in the "Online Gambling" category. So really unless that would state "Online Gambling & Poker" not as much has change as one might have thought. They are still categorizing poker as gambling and I thought that was what OP was trying to get rid of. At least that is how I look at it.

the average person lumps poker into the same category as slot machines, roulette, blackjack. as purely "gambling"

calling this forum internet gambling always seemed like a bad idea to me. changing the name to internet poker is a good first step to educate newbies that poker is different from those other casino games.

The only thing left to do now is to 301 the base directory of http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-gambling/ to http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/

It looks like all threads containing /internet-gambling/ are properly (301) redirecting just not the directory itself.
