Re: With your permission...
Wow. Thanks folks. I'm sitting here grinning like a fool, simply because our team has already seen most of the issues you folks are kindly sharing here. I've been nervous that we are over-complicating the site by trying to add features that other sites don't have, but now I see we're on the right track.
I will endevor to address each unique issue raised here with a post on the site. I like where your heads are at and no idea is too crazy. Like you, I play online and have been beating my head against the screen. I keep thinking, if a B&M casino had a dealer that misread your hand gestures in Blackjack and hit you with 20, you'd get up and walk away. But the lack of options on the net seem to have people reserved to playing around the troubles posted here. I simply don't understand the logic.
The post here about Pacific poker hot keys being active while your chatting is one of the more stunning instances of this I've ever read about. At a B&M casino, this would have been addressed after 2-3 similar instances, in my opinion. True, you can't make every single person happy, but that game design choice is one of the more hairbrained ones I've seen yet, and I have a list of them.
The site is in the midst of developement and it's our intention of course to make it as enjoyable of an experience as we can. I'm off to visit my new nephew (born today) and I'll attempt to pour into the comments once I'm back.
You folks blew me away with this many well-thought out posts. I can't wait to get into further discussions. =)
Doug
