This. I've begun checking this thread occasionally out of boredom, but anyone honestly mashing the F5 in the hopes of hearing real news is definitely getting worked up for nothing.

It's not like FTP is going to reopen, and you're not going to notice if you don't open this thread. NVG and Internet Poker will explode with FTP related topics.

You're right. I have left them my email address and assume they will let me know when they are ready to send me some money.

Wow.. I hope we get paid too... But "the sweat", is very far from over... All anyone has seen is that there are some job advertisements... "temp" jobs to boot...

I hear "they're hiring" a lot. Who has been hired? Has anyone even got a callback? Interview scheduled.?

I pray I'm wrong and it's a done deal .... and you're right, There's going to be huge delays in a sale of this nature... But we have heard nothing of any real substance.... Ever

FT applying for cat 2 licence is also a good sign.

Have you folks considered that it might not be GBT behind the job adds and the license application? It might be another machination brought to you by Ray Bitar Productions.

I posted above that I was surprised at no announcement. Many ppl answered w/ good reasons why there shouldn't be one, fine by me maybe they are right. But if I were GBT and was convinced enough that the deal was going to be done to start hiring and went ahead and applied for a license I'd start the hype right now. So that makes me think................

But you aren't.

There's exactly zero reason to hype a site that isn't yet operational, when doing so would simply open the floodgates to a million "Where's my money/WTF is all this" questions.

Keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Maybe.

If you are going to make definitive assertions the least that you could do is state the matter properly.

ZERO reason?

btw: while practice has not made my thinking perfect things have been progressing rather nicely, imo.
