Re: Brain storm: How do we bring down Absolute?
 

Boycotts never work...

There is already positive "awareness" movements going on..Read the thread in BBV..A few examples
1..Cardplayer Mag contacted Waco and/or Marco for an interview
2..Bluff Mag has tried to talk to Absolute before they make a decision on an article..More action possible here
3..BWs no longer lists ABS or UB..
4..Call it the "Tee Shirt" campaign..

Read the thread there is more info and details

Re: Brain storm: How do we bring down Absolute?
 

I have high hopes that Absolute Poker will follow the Soviet model, where stagnation, mistreatment of the people, and resistance to reform eventually led to the massive implosion.

I plan to continue my 7 day a week boycott of Absolute.

Absolute is too profitable for me to boycott.

didn't William try to start a boycot of Party amongst 2+2'ers back in the day? Maybe it was just a petition, don't remember now.
I do recall being in the minority as thinking it wasn't a great idea.

What will 2+2ers not playing one day a week accomplish that 2+2ers not playing ever again won't?

What they should have done:

1. realized sooner they've been compromised
2. banned players involved
3. reimbursed some players
4. made a statement that they've rectified the situation and everything is under control
5. realize NOW that they've been compromised

[/ QUOTE ]
1.)true
2.)pretty sure they did
3.)haven't done
4.)they did
5.)not sure if they have realized they've been compromised


Also a 2+2 lockout of Abso will do nothing because:
1.) The people affected by this are all 5/10+, which is less than 2% of the sites traffic.
2.) The vast majority of people there aren't 2+2
3.) I'd cross anyways

Re: Brain storm: How do we bring down Absolute?
 

If this boycott gets big (which it won't) make sure you boys keep us updatd on your success... I don't have an account there currently but if this thing is successful (which it won't be) you can count on me being among the first scab players to cross your digital picket line into the 2+2 nit-free site...

Those idiots didn't even spell the names right. I guess they were too busy slurping on AP c*ck to get it right.
