Cheaters and UB and Phil...oh my!

Granny, I do remember that, vaguely. That was back in the day when there was hardly any spam on RGP and poker was just starting to get it's mainstream feet wet.

I'd really love to know if UB employed the same marketing agency back then that is with them today.

I tried posting this on RGP too, but it was quickly drowned out by all the spam and had only 1 comment with someone telling me I should have cheated too and that Phil was a "Douchebucket" anyways.

I really wish this could get to that many "people in the know" like it could back then. I'd love to hear what they thought, although this is on a very lower scale. Alas, i'm probably thought of as just some peon that can be replaced by 20 new players that saw poker on TV and wanted to try online and that maybe if they ignore this it will go away.

I'm still hoping that maybe they do the right thing here...and not just by me that would have won with the next highest votes, but by the other 2 as well. They didn't deserve to get the shaft in a dishonest contest either.

llama,

i would doubt it is the same marketing firm. however, the marketing firms have always been under the direct control of UB and its operators. the names may have changed, but the integrity issue is no different. UB needs to stand by the 'one vote per pc' rule, even if it meant sending ALL of you to play with phil as a gesture of trying to repair what went wrong.

my point in bringing that disaster back into the foreground is that it speaks to the standards and pactices of UB. standards and practices that clearly have not changed since the previous debacle.
