Do you ppl actually expect anything different from FoF.

If this was a sane country congress would look at the fact that this guy thinks harry potter is destroying the world and just lol in his face.

No. We expected exactly this.

Co-sponsors for Barney Frank's Bill to legalize and regulate the industry has reached 35, another congressman signed on Friday.

We at Casino Gambling Web believe the support of this forum and the strong letter writing and phone calling campaigns you guys are persistently doing is helping out tremendously. Please do not let up!

We would also like to let everyone here know that we have postponed our Washington D.C. trip until September as advised by aids to Congressman Frank in the Financial Services Committee. The FoF letter sent out to all congressman and senators was a chess move by FoF meant to counteract and follow up the lobbying that we had done, however, they did not know that we had not done our lobbying yet, so this move backfired on them.

Just to let everyone here know, the petition that we sponsored that includes signatures, along with everyone's comments, will be hand delivered to all congressmen and senators when we go and it is expected to be the strongest document to get their attention. Just an fyi, we have received many questions about the 'anonymous' feature on the petition. Rest assured that when the petition is delivered no names will be anonymous, only to the common web viewer does it show that way.

Again, a sincere thanks must go out to Engineer and the rest at this forum who are great advocates for the cause, if there is anything we at Casino Gambling Web can do, do not hesitate to let us know. we only have a small staff so it is hard to monitor all the forums across the web so please drop us an email at an address listed on our site if there is anything more we can do to help.

Ok, I've got Mambo and phpbb2 setup. It's just the default config right now, so don't expect anything fancy.

For the moment I'd prefer to keep it semi-private (right now it's using one of my domain names which will have to change before it goes public). If you're interested in helping out or just being a part of it, PM me and I'll send you the URL.

Edit: Speaking of domain names, godaddy has .info's for 2.99 per year right now, so if we're serious we should discuss a domain name and which TLD we're interested in. We can go with that standard .com, .net, .org or even .info, .us, etc.

Well hopefully to drum up some more interest from people willing to help and those who just want to participate in discussion, here's the URL. The domain _will_ change at some point if this takes off. Also, as I said before it's very generic right now, so don't expect much until we get some people on board who are willing to help.

I signed up already, I guess we should put up a few posts, but this needs to be or become a master site. The reason I want it ad free as well, is I don't want to see a squabble come up over who owns it, who contributes, and who is owed what. That is an issue we can try to settle first, but we need one place to go from, 2p2 is nice and huge, but we arent front page here. We should strive to set up what g911 and the PPA should be. A one stop shop for jobs to do help poker, what everyone else is doing this week/day/month/year, and who the friends and enemies of poker are.

I verified your account on the forums. If you go ahead and create an account on the main site I'll give you access to publish stuff.

TheEngineer, if you're interested please sign up and I'll do the same for you.

The way that Mambo is setup is so that anyone can register and submit things for review to be published, so if anyone is interested in contributing please sign up on the main site and the forum and have at it!
