What happened to Poker Mountain?

[greatbrit]

Hi,

I work for the software development company that developed Poker Mountain. I don't think we had any accusations of 'shady', although thanks to brownthumb we had plenty of it being 'poo', which were pretty accurate. The gist of the story is that we contracted out the programming to a 'reputable' offshore company, but they gave us their F team who knew nothing about programming, poker, graphics, or internet, and did the best they could to make our software as unstable as possible; it crashed during our freeroll tournaments, it crashed in cash games, it showed zero balances in accounts that really have money in them, it was not our finest moment. Daniel was associated with the site as our ambassador, along with TJ, but as we dragged on trying to clean it all up Daniel finally left for greener pastures. We have kept the site alive but have stopped actively promoting it while we completely rewrite the software from scratch, this time using actual (and excellent) programmers.

The plan is to relaunch later this year, with great software and very generous promotions in the hope that we'll be given a second chance. We will be honoring all the cash matching bonuses already in progress or transferring them to something comparable, the same with our 'Summit Points', and of course any money on deposit at the site will still be fully intact.

I'll be happy to answer any questions (in this thread please) and hopefully will be able to give you an update before the end of the year.

Best regards,
Paul Westley
