Does anyone even use the free BankrollMob Poker client anymonre (playmoney client), available from your Mob account?
We wanted to cancel it, as it was not exactly what we had hoped for. But now the company is asking if we have any feature requests they could add, to make us reconsider cancelling.
So, let me hear your ideas/thoughts?
I have no idea what kind of features they will be able to add, but if we were to keep it for a little longer, we might as well make it as good as possible. But of course, if nobody never uses it, then there's no point in it. (The statistics available for us, doesn't show the player activity, so we can't check).

Every time I have looked, there has been nobody else to play aginst and have only ever managed one heads up game which is a shame. The probably being that most players who are members of BRM are dedicated poker players and and play money is bad for your game.
Although, I do have a suggestion. Like you said we are not sure what features they can add but we can only ask.
How about changing the format to sit n go's. The idea being that we purchase our chips with the mob points that we have accrued with the placed winners earning more points. We would not ask BRM to donate any points to it in fact why not even take a rake. I'm sure after such thing you will see the tables busy quite reguarly.
It's just an idea that came to me it may work it may not.

Nice idea !
Poker without any value is not poker, it's like playing the danish game "krig" you get 2 cards 5 cards fall on board and we see who made best hand. I mean it goes to showdown every time, in real poker you can win by having best hand or get opponent to fold. I dont know which feature you could add but playing for somekind of value like mob points would def get more users. There could also be a weekly tournament where the winner got fx 1K mob points and a symbol next to his/her name in the forum.
oh well, it was a system which seemed like a good idea at the time but i only saw traffic on it when it had very first started, i have an idea for if you ever try again with someone new / someone else.
if you were able to show how many people where sitting at the tables somewhere at the top of the forum it may encourage people to go and sit down, because its discouraging going out of your way to open it to find nobody there

Add some sit and gos or tournaments and try to get it multitable or integrate mob points into it would be awesome but I see its not possible and its already scraped...Did you guys have to pay for that poker client or just testing it out?

We paid for it Gene, that's why we cancelled it because it seems like nobody was using it, and we couldn't integrate it the way we wanted to. It will remain active rest of this month, then it's gone.
Well it was a good idea, but like you said it didnt work like you intended it to. It would be way cool if it could hold some MTT's and you could have the monthly tourneys right here. you'd know who wins so you could just manually credit the accounts with mob points or money.
what we need is PS or FullTilt or somebody to "sponsor" us and give us some tourneys in their extra category even if they are just play money ones. or for winner of a 45 person sng gets 20 mob points. i'd like to play against some other mobsters
