Site Speed Poll
Saturday, May 9. 2009

Please vote in the following poll so that I can know how the speed of the site is for you all. I am looking at more ways of optimizing different areas of the site and possibly a new hosting solution, but I am curious what site performance currently is.

Tables Optimization
Friday, May 8. 2009

I have done some improvements to the backend code that deals the cards at all poker and blackjack tables which should result in speed improvements and less lag at peak times.

Feedback Tab
Wednesday, May 6. 2009

I have reset the Uservoice feedback area because it hasn't been monitored in months and it was getting impossible to filter out what really needed to be worked on. I have added a new tab to the right side of your screen, so if you have ideas or bug reports, please post them there. If you post bugs please give as much detail as possible. My main focus right now is getting everything bug-free, but the remaining bugs are the tough ones to fix and find, so the more details the better (especially about how I can make it happen again, unless it is something that generates chips/items, then submit a support request about that).

I will be checking this new feedback tab regularly. Also, just so everyone knows, I have finals next week so I won't be around much, but after next week I will be working on the site pretty much full time.

New Free Points Offers
Thursday, April 23. 2009

I have partnered with another network to make offers available for all of you. There is a greater variety of offers to be completed now. If you like one over the other let me know, right now we will be using both systems, but may go exclusively with one at some point if one is obviously better. Check it out at points/prizes > free points.

Trades Page
Thursday, April 23. 2009

I have had to shut down the Trades page temporarily until some things can be fixed.

I am not sure on a time/date it will be back up.

Once the page is back up, the trade items that you might have had will be there for you to access as normal.

I am sorry to those who use the page as it was intended but some others have taken advantage of a flaw and this cannot continue to happen.

New Splash Page
Saturday, April 18. 2009

I have redone the splash page and register page. Hopefully this makes the site more attractive to new visitors to the site. There is also a nice live counter of hands played on the front page. If you notice any problems with the new splash page please let me know.

Fix to Rarity on Exclusives
Wednesday, April 15. 2009

So it was pointed out to me that some of the exclusives had a lesser rarity value than some of the regular items in game circulation.

I have now set the minimum on all existing exclusives to a minimum of 300.
Then they range up from there to 500 for Super Exclusives.

Also I reset the Easter Egg and Christmas Tree to be the most rare item at 510 rarity since those were only given to the players who purchased a donator pack.
