I'm setting up a new forum section - sort of an archive - of important and often referred to threads. Several pending categories are Online Casinos, Poker, Complaints, Industry Issues, Meltdowns and other Oddities, Technical Help...

If you have any suggestion on categories or if you have threads that you'd like to see showcased, please post them here :D
 
I think this is a pretty spiff idea, might help overcome a longstanding prob where threads that people often talk about, or refer to, are hard to find. Now they could be gathered in one place.

The idea is that significant threads from around the forums would be gathered here, and markers would be left in the original forum linking to the thread in the archive. That way if you went looking for the original you'd find the marker and be able to follow that through to the thread itself.

Just thought a few words on how B envisioned this would be useful.

Hmm...I'm Thinking, maybe one of the sub-sections could be Land Based Casinos/Online?

Where some of the important threads regarding the UIGEA and some of the Land Based Casinos maybe coming online soon such as Harrahs threads could be stored.

Will you just be taking it upon yourselves to decide which threads get archived in there or is there going to be a meeting that I will need to be present at for discussion? :confused:

This will probably fall under the "Industry" category.

This is why I started this thread - to get your input, so welcome to the meeting :thumbsup: :drink:

BTW - this was an idea posed by Rusty via a PM to me that I never had a chance to answer :p

LoL, ok...:D so I just didn't know if I should get dressed up or not. That was a good idea on Rusty's part and good of you to implement it. Should be a great new section for quick reference. :thumbsup:

Please add (acepedro's) thread about virtual not paying him the 100k plus for years with little reason, we want all the new meister heads to know that one.Maybe a virtual thread of its own with all the antics over the past years. I know you got it out in the other section about them but I think the meister heads would read it more being a sticky thread or something.

the playtech issue with the progressives.

obviuosly a thread with " the most outstanding topics" or something like that, "the most discussed" could be another.

Just basically the ones that had a lot of responses and or viewed on them.

There has been some really juicy cases in the past two years..

could throw CAP in there but I know you dont want that stuff in your house and could cause more issues.

Maybe threads for each software platform such as MG,RTG, rival and the rest and any new news updates or anything add to that section.

Sorry mate got heaps of ideas and am just tping them as i go.
 
Surely there must be some input out there. C'mon, I'm listening...
In my brief time @ CM, gaming fairness (the question of) has always been the most significant issue for me. There are 2 ,iirc, initial Absolute Poker threads that are must reads along with some of the most impressive,intelligent and informative posts one will experience! JMO!
 
Thanks! If you'd post the URLs, that would be really cool.

Admin note - there are 11 years worth of posts here - could be interesting.

11 years worht would be a little tedious im sure, maybe have a cut of period for say 5 years or something. Only add the ones that are relivent to whats going on now, for example the virtual one would go back almost 11 years and would be good to put in there as it does affect people still to this day.

That was said (written) strictly tongue and check :p

Besides, the way old threads are all mashed together so they don't make too much sense. But it's sometimes fun to go back searching for stuff - like the first time the term "rogue casino" was used (yes, I coined the phrase :p). Or some of the silly shit that went on back then. The oldest thread that will probably be showcased is the infamous "Pirate" thread from January 2004. :D
 
Microgaming white label issue from August of 2007:

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/microgaming-white-label-issue.19166/

Jackpot Factory Inspirational Stories from May of 2006:

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/jackpot-factorys-inspirational-stories.12659/

IMO, Rival deserves a whole section of its own...but for now, the Progressive debacle along with the discovery of them being white label operations (for the most part). From May of this year:

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/one-million-reels-bc-204-167-54-was-hit-today.31127/

And because it's still ongoing, and still with MANY unanswered questions...the Topgame thread regarding their software "issues" (and I use that word reluctantly). From last month:

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/topgame-slots-rogue-software.31796/

It's a good idea, but I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that most people/players just don't care who does what....as long as it doesn't affect them directly. JMO.
 
Bryan, also maybe you could sub-categorize the threads by software provider too for ease of finding a particular software platform thread.

IE:
MGS
RTG
Rival...etc. etc.
 
Not so long ago you gave me a link to a site that explained about rng's and how they work, it was an interesting article,
how about a thread about the inner working's of on line casino's

processes
rgn's
and everything else about how they work,
 
Hiya: I think an area that holds all post made by Casino Reps. The fact is, some people play at certain on line casinos because a Rep. Will post here on different issues/topics/ect.
 
Thanks all for your suggestions. I'm still getting to them, so it's a work in-progress. :D

Link Outdated / Removed
 
Sorry I have not got on this yet but I will.

Obviously the why and the how is up to Bryan but my initial idea was to have an easy place of reference for major unresolved complaints/problems or perhaps just announcements.
An easy way to see how things worked out in the end.

For example some of the threads Pinababy has highlighted fit the bill perfectly and I want to track down a couple of the bot threads (Malta were dealing with an important case highlighted on the forum somewhere)
For announcements or suchlike the new casino everyone was asking louise about would be a good example.

I mean where do you start and where do you stop - it is a hell of a job to archive a site as huge as this -I'm glad I suggested it :D

Sorry Bryan but you needed time out of the garden before you lost a digit.

If I don't resurface send help - I am lost in the forum somewhere.
 
OK I have given this a little thought and here is my idea of how it might be categorized.
I am sure this can be much improved upon but it a start.
Two main categories -
ongoing
archived

Three main sub categories in each main category
Licensing authorities
Software providers
Casinos

Further subcategories in each of the above as and when they are needed
ie name of casino under casinos.

Below is a plan of it.

Ongoing
Licensing authorities
Kanahwake
Malta
Software providers
Rival
RTG
Casinos
Palace of chance

Archived
Licensing authorities
Kanahwake
Malta
Software providers
Rival
RTG
Casinos
Palace of chance

Some threads such as the Rival progressive jackpot that Lisa has tracked down could be put in two categories;
Ongoing/software/Rival and ongoing/casinos/Irishluck
 
I had completely forgotten about this thread, and adding suggestions. I'm glad Rusty, that you dug up the Casino Club ones. In my mind, that is not a dead issue....we still haven't heard Malta's decision on that one as yet right? Course, in their galaxy, I think we have at least another six months waiting period, before they render their decision.

Anyway, I was just posting in another thread, and thought of the Cipher: Wizard of Blackjack thread. While it may be a bit personal, and is now locked, it is still extremely relevant for a couple of reasons. First, betting systems don't work and all systems are destined to fail eventually. Second, should Cipher rear his head again, it's a good warning for newbies to not "invest" with him or his system.
