Go Party! Anything that might get bad players to play more -- good for me as an affiliate and as a player!

I don't have the button on my IE though.

Mozilla is good. Firefox (formerly Firebird, formerly Phoenix) is better [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Party again steps in It, thats Pathetic, they did it to me too.
Got woken up by a phonecall this morning, it was a buddy of mine wanting me to transfer him some Pokerstars dollars as he was sick and tired of Party's bs.

Party is charging higher rake than most, and time after time screwing up, also allowing allins in their tourneys.
Make your own conclusions.

you are all over reacting, they did this for our own good. No whenever a fish is online he will be reminded of the fact that he hasnt logged in or deposited in a while.

If you dont like it, remove it. But I think their installing iot was great!

Sure its a small thing. Just a button and menu option. Or is it?

What else did they install? Nothing? Are you sure? How would you know?

Last year TurboTax installed a silent protection scheme without telling their customers about. It was a huge deal. Was this a big deal? I can point you to the fall out on this little escapade.

As an IT guy for my company I can assure you that software being installed without you knowing about it is a huge deal. What do you think most viruses do?

All they had to do was mention what they were going to do and let you ok it. Simple 2 second ordeal. Instead they secretly installed it without your knowledge.

Is it ok for your neighbor to go into your house and leave cookies on the counter without you knowing about it? He didn't hurt anything. Maybe even helped you if you like the cookies. But was it ok?
