Back in the first week of February when we were getting ready to go live, we decided to hold off on adding forums until we hit 1000 players to avoid having boring, empty forums laying around. Last week we passed 1000 players without even realizing it and before I could get my act together and put the forums online we’d already passed 1500 players!

You can now access the forums by clicking on the forum tab between Strategy and Blog at the top of the website. On a technical note, I decided to go with Vanilla forums because they were very easy to integrate into the Poker Underworld accounts and I didn’t want everyone to have to have a seperate forum account. It’s nice because now I can work on adding forum stats to everyone’s profile pages and I can work forum activity into the ranking system (news on the ranking system updates should come next week). We’re pretty proud of how the forums turned out and will continue to work on them to make them easy to use.

Be sure to drop by the forums and say hello so they don’t stay empty. Now we can all get to know each other and hopefully get some competitions going. The first thread was about Tournaments and you can read all about our plans for tournaments there. We’re going to try and get a couple SnG tables ready for tomorrow so stay tuned for that as well.

Best of luck everyone,
Ryan
