Quite possible that they were growing, I was just going by my memory which definately could be off [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think they were growing in terms of raw numbers but not in terms of market share. After the Moneymaker boom, other sites took off while Paradise did not.

I think Paradise's only crime was their arrogance. To go from #1 to nowhere like they did is astonishing.

So true.

almost beyond belief how true this is

It takes MAD skill to drop/plummet like they did. Ap is trying to do it, and they can't even do it as well as paradise did [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I keed I keed [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I kind of enjoyed ordering a drink feature at paradise. I remember going to my office back in 2000 very tired from late night sessions on paradise. People thought I was crazy for depositing money into a poker site lol.

Yeah that was awesome. I usually enjoyed a slice of cake at the table.

The saddest part is, back in the days of bonus-whoring, even though Paradise's software sucked, whoring low limit O8 there was just that - paradise. I miss taking down those flaming pots afrter someone called me down with Ace high.

Oh yeah. I loved how you could order a coffee, and then stack your opponent and he'll poff into smoke and the cards will lite on fire or glow.

Oh yeah, the good ol days.

[checktowin]

yeah, that was cool

I have never bonus whored but I do remember getting an e-mail from Paradise. They had basically given me a $5k no deposit bonus. Still didn't bother but for someone who bonus whores it seemed like a pretty good deal.

It was well known that if you ordered STRawberries you would get more STRaights.

Could someone estimate how much paradise was worth when they were #1
