Oh man - I do love the spin put on all of this.
1 - It was announced to everyone on March 3rd -
http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/index...T&f=14&t=9878& - that you had to go sign up to ATP. The referral program was NOT in place at that time & I'm sure a number of people from various boards got their new accounts without going thru any referral program.
2 - The $65/tournament option is only if you take the $2000/month option & have a tournament each & every day. We are not looking to do that, so we'd have to take the $1000 option which would give us 4 tournaments a month at $250 each (yes, some month there will be 5 Tuesday's so it'd only be $200 - yippee)
3 - You came to us to spam your poker tournament - no one asked you to post this thread -
http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...&threadid=3869 - on Jan. 14. So please drop the sob story about how you go around to all these boards & draw attention to this & that & the other thing because YOUR REFERRAL CODE IS ON ALL THESE POSTS!
4 - My 1st reply to the email you sent out about the costs for the tournaments was "You're nuts" Jim took the sensible approach & sent you the following:
"Pat
I just have to weigh in here. Every poker program I have seen in this business, pays for traffic. Yours is the first I have seen that asks to be paid for our traffic. I have spoken to several of our tournament players and several of them play with "real" money. All other poker programs pays the referrer a percentage of that. Yours is basically doing just the reverse.
We started doing the poker tournament just for fun. We understood that you were making money from the "real" money players. We gave away a small prize just for the hell of it. If you would like to continue to have GreenguyandJim traffic. Take your options below and pretend we are you and you are us. We will never pay anyone for us to send them traffic.
Jim"
To this, you replied:
"I completly understand. I didn't even want to send you that below. you can see why I wanted to. thanks Jim for your comments.
Pat"
So please drop this whole "I'm shocked" thing you have going on.
5 - We have another poker site that will be setting us up so that we can have a free weekly tournament, which is all we want & they are willing to work with us on many things. They are also not going to charge us, but exactly the opposite - they will be paying us based on referral codes. I could really care less if we make a dime off of this, but it'll be a cold day in hell when we fucking give you a dime for something we can get for free.
