Why people get annoyed with Gpokr.....and why it will never change

The following is a rather telling extract from Ryan's blog (creator of Gpokr)


"June 16, 2006

Google Web Toolkit + Texas Holdem Poker = gpokr.com
I work pretty hard most of the time. Sometimes I play poker instead. Sometimes I work and play poker at the same time.

www.gpokr.com is a test of the google web toolkit. It is written completely in java."


I think this explains quite clearly that Ryan has only ever seen Gpokr as a "test" and does not take it seriously in the slightest. I for one am pleased I never actually joined as a member and just handed money over, when it's blindingly obvious that any revenue generated by the site is just a bonus for him, so he'll never bother with the "paying customers" concerns.

Just thought I'd share it.

For 2 and a half years I've been considering buying membership, but only if the site glitches and bugs are rectified......2 and a half years on and nothing has really changed that much, hence no membership still. Pointless really
