Help
I suspect that I have been around on BBO for as long as pretty much anyone.
Never thought much of the new management but the new membership plan is stupid even for them...
It will be interesting to see which of the competing platforms picks up the exodus.
Guess that we're lucky that this happened after good competitors emerged.

I agree with all of that except for good competitors, who are you referring to?
I am a fan from day one of RealBridge, but they are not a direct competitor.
Synrey has a decent robot but is the same corporation, as is Funbridge.
Swan had a rocky start, I have not looked since.

The Basic membership is completely useless.
Who is going to visit the site to play 6 hands?
BBO must be getting no advertising money from these players if they are willing to write them off so casually.

I hope i can @least watch the vuegraphs without paying. Our group of 20 including many juniors are going to use Realbridge to play which will be 12 times cheaper than BBO for our needs.

How does this work? We will be looking at alternate platforms for 8 person team games. No masterpoints, no bots.
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
