Gameface just peed his pants.

I just lost all 38 cents in my accounts.

This is actually sort of curious. My understanding was that the banks were the ones restricted by the law. Are they charged with conspiracy? What's the basis for the domain name seizure?

 

[Gameface]

Damn American imperialism.

Poker sucks anyway. Play Chess, a REAL MAN's game.

Which real men?

[Duck Rodgers]

Do they have chess for money sites? I'd like my odds in that over poker.

 

[Shaggy]

Is pokerstars down on both ends, the pay site and free site?

I guess that means Boozer doesn't play chess!

Wow... that's something else. I used to remember as a kid, my dad letting me play on his FTP account while he went to the store. I think I won 50 bucks once...


end of an era

The FBI focus on these companies as opposed to the shenanigans the banks in this country have been involved with.

Is this a surprise? C'mon, this country's run by a bunch of whores. Literally. Everyone's in bed with someone with someone else.

At least golf and car racing will still be around to fall to sleep to.

Hmmm i wonder how the Vegas crowd will deal with this... They had the mob to clean up this **** back in the day.

They're probably high-fiving repeatedly.

Makes sense. Those programs were FILLED with guys wearing poker site's gear. Maybe they should go the WWE route and blur all mentions of the site on player's clothing.

You're probably right, I was orginally thinking from the perspective of "family values" emerging more and discouraging addictive attitudes. But then i figured whenever that happens those "non-family" attitudes emerge more heavily.
