Poker Room *you decide if it stays or goes*
Now that the Arcade has been installed the poker room seems to be empty. The Poker room is a feature that we pay for each month and it is silly to pay if it is not being used. Please sound off so we can decide if we keep or Can the Poker Room

Personally, I don't use it very much, or at all actually.... So I wouldn't be too broken up over it if you guys decided to shitcan it.

I used to play sometimes, but I was very bad at it and also found it addictive. So I wouldn't mind if it were gone.
But I don't really care either way.

I loved the Poker Room, but it was hard to find a time when there were enough players.

I used to play but I haven't for a long time. I wouldn't be to disappointed if you got rid of it either.
What I say is my opinion, not my employers or that of my academic institution.

I have not checked, but do we have any poker games in the arcade where multiple people can sign in?

I played a few times but there weren't many people on at the same time. Stopped playing. Don't really care now. End of report.

i go in there a lot but no one else is there anymore. I liked it but it is ok if it is gone....
it would be neat if there was some sort of poker in the arcade? even if it was texas holdem against the computer...
or i can just go to fulltilt again more.

We dallied under
Vine maples and sapling alders
Searched for lady slippers
But instead
Found blackberry riots and
Desiccated branches
An old skid road
Brought ghost ferns and
Hollows filled with
Skunk cabbage
While waves wrapped
Intricate lacings of weeds
'Round mule spinners
His cyanotic eyes
Were hard enough to make
The sun turn tail and
Tender enough to attract me
To his world of illusion

Like some of the others i enjoyed the poker room but if it is not being used it seems like a bit of a waste,the money you pay for it might be spent better elsewhere so as everyone can enjoy something.So i could live without it and if the arcade feature is getting more people in it it makes sense to put that first in line for spending on.

I don't play poker so I've never used it, but I know a lot of people enjoy it. I voted that I don't care if it stays or goes!

I voted I don't care, but why go the expense of keeping it open for 1/2 dozen people? Originally Posted by Trojan 42

I'm just looking around for a free Poker php script, but while looking for that I have found an Arcade Script with over 1400 games, I'm not sure if you are paying a monthly fee for the arcade at the moment, but this Arcade is $3.99.
The arcade has Flash Poker, (Not to flashy/ Crappy UI) but you may be able to add the .SWF file to your current games list once uploaded to your server.
I'm sure it's only single player flash game, but I'm not a fan of Poker, so I'm not too sure how it works.

Demo:

Considering the Download file is Approximately 680MB you should, by right receive the .SWF files upon payment.

Nope. The arcade isn't the issue, but paying $20.00 a month for a Poker Room that no one is using, is. Originally Posted by MiK

I enjoyed it every once in a while but I felt like it reduced the amount of member usage in the chat room. Personally I like chat better than poker so it wouldnt hurt my feelings to see it go.

We've decided to eliminate the LEF Poker Room. Thanks to everyone that replied, and voted.
