Hi
Some years ago I was a regular here on this site. I remember the forum was much used for communicating among the regulars. There were serious posts about some poker challenges, poker careers, poker hands etc Ther were also just fun posts like I remember Also there were also some poker home game torneys organised by forum members There were also just fun posts like I remember the complete b*llsh*t palce from Pochui the melons
I have to admit, at the start !t was just a way to collect points every day, but on the long way the forum was alive and collecting points was not that important anymore. Now I do not see much here on the forum.

I think that can be said about most forums / online discussions boards that were launched before Facebook and social media became popular. It's just a different time now.
Personally, I tend to see a trend where more and more people are moving away from big social media companies like facebook, especially if they're american. So maybe smaller independent forums will start to see a rise again in the future.

I remember that time as well. The forum really felt alive back then — serious poker discussions mixed with pure fun, inside jokes, and even home game tournaments. It wasn’t just about grinding points; it was about the community.
Maybe what’s missing now is exactly that: people starting conversations again without worrying too much about rewards. A few regular posters, some shared challenges, or even casual off-topic threads could slowly bring that old spirit back. Communities usually revive one post at a time.

problem is probably that most of members are blocked on poker sites and they cant play from their countries, so its hard to say something about it when they dont play!

Just wondering .... where are all the ''old'' members that used to be an active member here in the past. Who is still here even if it s just to open the doors or try to open the safe. I admit that I did not visit this site for some years but I remember the good conversations here on the forum and of in the beginning the aim was to make 5 posts a day for 10 points each at that time, but lateron the points did not matter anymore. Great threads, challenges, experiences of other players. The home games organised at PS by Pochui, The world cup foorball, ....
I think I am getting old ... referring to the good old days

Times have changed. Forums used to be very popular because there weren’t so many social networks, but now that everyone has Instagram/Facebook, there’s no real need to use forums that much.
