I also work in a field with 24/7 365 service and guess what....On a holiday or even a weekend if you need a part the odds of us having it is very slim and you have to wait anyways. As far as the poker site being a good business I suppose it is. However, that being said do you realize how long you have to put your own $$ in the business to stabilize & keep it running?

sry .. U wrong in 2 things .... 1st lava is not making anything out of it .. He does it free as well as the mods !!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd.. 66 is big .. I checked the other site witch we on the same sever with and 75% of the tables were emty .. So wat is tht telling u ... 4 me it looks like tht 66 has more players then the other ones... Ok now most of us play here 4 free but the downtime now is realy a joke ..... I can't understand y it's taken this long 2 get bk up an running as we been told servel times we would be bk soon/ in a giving time

According to most a properly planned business takes a minimum of 3.5 years to turn a profit and Roo has the right idea. The site is not two years old yet.

I miss my friends

[CODYDOG]

well then instead of telling us it will be up at a certain time y dont they just tell us sorry we dont know when will be back up we will email you when site is fixed instead of sayin it would be fixed & now so many hours & days later its not ? not trying to start trouble i just feel if you tell people like it is for real they will understand better than this

[T_B_H]

ok, i've been off and missed all of this downtime so far.

but look at it this way, this site is Lava,s livelyhood he probably has family to support, a mortgage to pay amoungst other things.

so the fact that our tables are not yet up and running, there must be a very good reason for it, while were down, no money is being earnt, yet the will still be costs and bills to pay.

all ask yourselfs this, would you close your own business doors and turn away money if there was not a good reason for it ?

i think not.

PS: did I meantion that I hold an MBA?

I too am talking from experience. My responce in this thread was to a post and yes, anyone can reply. If you would please read from what I quoted from in this thread the fact that OP66 is less than two years old is exactly my point. You do not need a MBA to figure it out.

thats prity much what i sead but at the end of the day "IF" lava was to sell the site he would make monny out of it but as someone that has been a member from very close to day 1 i can say in "my opinyon" monny is not why lava made and runs this site so i say let him run it the way he see's fit . he's never let us down yet
