Casaubon,

I think you might be underestimating the impact of not just 2+2, but every major poker forum online. Gone are the days where people blindly fumbled through the inter-webs. Most people who sign up and play online poker are savy enough to find most of these forums and read them for information.

cliffnotes: Internet forums that deal with internet poker = media that deal with everyday life.

You're also assuming that people in the press don't read this messageboard. The lack of damage control is disturbing, to say the least.

No, I just think you're vastly overestimating the impact of this message board. There's a sense of "we are the center of the poker universe" here that is deeply out of whack with the rest of the universe.

It's a disturbing story, I've moved all my money off the site because of this, but to say, as that post does, that "A lack of response by Absolute implies (proves?) it was an inside job" is completely dishonest and utterly contrary to all rules of marketing, pr, and the way corporate hacks think.
