"This forum however is full of Stars supporters who only see through rose tinted glasses. If you question anything you just get dumb replies about how good the service is. And that is never the question at hand."


rek - I've never seen what you describe on here.
If someone makes a ridiculous slam against Stars and how they don't have RB or how the cards are rigged then some of the Stars supporters do indeed stand up as one might expect. But it's only because of the ridiculousness of the accusations.

But other almost trivial issues where people feel Stars could use improvement are discussed and whined about almost constantly even by their most avid supporters.
I am obviously an avid supporter of Stars.
But I am also one of the whiniest-bitchyest people on here about some of the stuff I don't like about Stars or think they could do better. So I take offense to the notion that I am somehow a blind cheerleader.

I even mentioned in a previous thread that the lack of incentive between 500k to 750k VPP's had me considering the possibility of taking off for another site for the rest of the year.
In the end, I decided I am not going to do that but only because I SHOULD be able to make it to 750k.
But it was still a decision to be made and I also said I don't blame anyone else who decides to take advantage of that opportunity to check out other sites if you are pretty sure you won't make it to 750k.

It's likely that Stars would very much like me to keep my trap shut about some of these things I have said.


Regarding the ironman argument: I knew the program existed but don't know enough about how it works so couldn't really include it in the comparison.
If it's true that you get roughly $73/mth in value after holding ironman for a few mths then I think one needs to measure it with the Stars weekly freerolls which are about $250+/mth in value and is not deducted from your RB.
The biggest difference is that you can't cash-out your freeroll entries on Stars which can obviously be an annoyance.
You either play the freeroll each week or you lose that value. So if playing them every single week is something you aren't going to do then the Stars freeroll value could end up being less than the convenience of being able to cash-out your freeroll entries for Iron-Man Medals on FT.
