Hello all. Just a suggestion for the BRM freerolls.
Since this site offers so many freerolls, and $50 freerolls at that (instead of $25 like most), I really like playing the freerolls this site has to offer. However, I think late reg. should be discontinued. There is a lot of password leaking going on that it almost ruins the fun in playing the BRM freerolls. There is so many people and if you make it ITM, you only get a few cents for playing for HOURS. It is really disappointing especially if you happen to make final table, the prize payouts are horrible for it being a $50 freeroll, and for playing for so long.
Also, the password should be released 3-5 minutes before the freeroll starts. I read in a thread that BRM freerolls used to be restricted, but members complained that they couldn't get in. Now that the freerolls are password protected, the members should be happy with the change and if they really want to get in the freeroll, they will be here 3-5 minutes before the freeroll starts to get the password. That way, you know all of the loyal members of BRM will be here in time to get the password and get in the freeroll, and it will leave less time for unloyal members/password leakers to do just that.
Re-reading this post, it sounds like I'm complaining. Please don't take it that way. It's just a suggestion and I think most (loyal) members will agree with me on this. This is a great site that offers multiple $50 freerolls, and I think this will be a major improvement for it's members. Let me know you all think. Thanks!

I agree - I don't actually play the freerolls - But I do think late-reg on a freeroll is a terrible idea. Particularly when people are password-hunting.

Sorry chelle219 but as someone who has made zero posts in this forum, has taken zero bonuses from the site and has possibly made zero contribution in all, you don't really have any business complaining about the freerolls. They used to be restricted to members who signed up through this site and in this case you wouldn't be able to play them so I think it's a bit rich for you to say I can sign up in less than 3 minutes so screw everyone else who can't.
I don't always remember when the freerolls are happening so I sign up late. The freerolls are already full of of freeroll hunters and donk players well before the tourney starts and although I disagree with BRM, their tactics are clearly to get as many ftp players to this site as possible. I'm not overly impressed with the freerolls at full tilt but as a freeroll hunter yourself you can not complain. You clearly want more better freerolls for yourself for absolutely nothing.

He is a she. And whilst I agree that password sites are scum, I do not see how posting the password for less time will decrease the numbers of non BRM members since full tilt itself directs people to BRM pages. And I think that most of them have probably signed up here simply to get that password (which is visible only to brm members) and they are therefore just the same as chelle219 who thinks that for some reason she is more entitled to it because she signed up half a year ago whilst they signed up looking for something for nothing today.
the party poker freerolls have a condition that you have to have so many points as does the upcoming 1k fulltilt freeroll, perhaps this is fairer , at least then you have to be a member and play on the site and not just get the password , sure some will have problems like not opening there account through the mob , but keeping everyone happy is impossible,

I've never played in any freeroll offered by BRM because I always thought I have to be tracked to BRM to be able to play, but it seems that this 50$ freerolls on FTP are open to anyone.
I think that the best way is to offer freerolls only to tracked members and have some points requirements. It is fair and many sites do this. Then actual BRM members could benefit and not some crazy robots playing freerolls 24h a day to get 0,01$.

Its really hard to get away from hackers or the steallers. there are so many dforums specialized in this kiind of things, people that only plays freerolls and are masters in steal passwords. As long as BRM is one of the most fasmous sites around the net we will always suffer from this kind of things. The only way to get rid of this scum is tracking every accounts and i think it will be whats going to happen in the future, in the same of whats BRM is doing in party poker.

I agree I hate late registration. It takes away the advantage of playing agressive early and slowing down because people wait. on the flip side if you build a big stack quick it could give you more fish to catch!
