(crossposted from 2p2)what about the forum? It will go public?

Special thanks go to you ...HokieThis time when we were working together extended my glance to the whole poker issues.I'm looking forward to our mutual collaboration in the close futureDamian

Mers and I haven't finalized details for 2011 FastTrack's future placement, but likely sometime in January it will be implemented into a premium member benefit (IE, a forum only premium members can access).We're about to release a free ebook penned by Mersenneary and we have about 25 free videos now, plus all the value from the free forums here (not to mention 2p2's free forum), so I think it's a bit counterproductive/overkill to make this a public release. The other primary variable we've considered is that people are less comfortable having this released publicly, even if Mersenneary made it clear early on that the forum would likely end up as a wider release in the future. So we're trying to strike the right balance with user concerns + finding the placement that maximizes the value of the forum, and I think releasing it to premium members does a good job of both.If you have any feedback on the above, feel free to shoot me a message rypac13@husng.com, I'm always very happy to hear feedback from users, especially users that work the hardest on their games, and this forum is basically a gathering spot for some of the more hard working aspiring professionals (and already pro players), so the perfect spot to ask for feedback.

emailed you right now

Hokie, can we post till 5 dec or just before the end of this month?

great ty

I'm really sad to hear this, especially after I fully wasted November.Is there any specific reason why you don't leave the forum open in read-only mode, at least for those of us who were full members in November ?I really hoped I could read over all the articles and threads over Christmas. Even if the forum goes public early in 2012, the holiday season is where I have a lot of time.Before the forum goes public next year, is there any option to edit / delete our threads ?  If possible, I would like to move all the personal / off-topic posts in my thread to my private blog and only keep the strategy posts. Or, if that's too much work for the webmaster, simply delete all of it.

Jackone, I'll personally edit any posts you need, just let me know which ones need editing (email me rypac13@husng.com), no problem at all.

I will be looking to have my thread deleted/not made public, obv no issue with giving out the info but the way I see I paid for that thread/put a little work on it so it's not something I want just given away.

I'd like to second what Chadders just said for my own thread please.

I'm rereading all the fasttrack, and I noticed JackTheShipper asked the same thing, but his thread still there

I would like my thread deleted before the forum is made public.Thanks

Me too, thanks

and me too. just delete my thread before the forum goes public Thanks

No issue with threads being deleted, although remember you can edit them or change your screenname. JTS changed his mind on deletion.No plans for forum to ever go completely public, most likely is for HUSNG.com premium subscribers to use as a strategy forum to post in. All a ways down the road.

yeh misunderstood the whole public thing leave mine there forevaz

I would also like to have mine deleted, please.Btw. how long is this forum still available for those of us who were full-time in November ?  For me, renewing FT for November turned out to be a big mistake and if I new that it wouldn't continue in December, then I most likely wouldn't have done it.I already expected at the end of October that I would be extremely busy with my new job - just not that much that I couldn't make a single strategy post or even read a single post in this forum - but simply assumed I could make up for that in December.And this is also not a very good weekend for me to completely read over all of the November posts, I really have to take a day off from the computer tomorrow, have to run some errands on Saturday and also want to spend some time with the family.Ok, 2nd half of TNF is starting, night guys. 

Ryan, I really like what you wrote in that thread on 2+2 !  That riverrat flamefest made me really upset, but then I really loved how how replied to it :-)I really liked FT and would love to be part of it next year, just very disappointed that it won't be around in December - already expected it to be mostly read-only over the holidays, but hoped to have at least get half a month.Well, really need to go to bed now, has been a very stressfull week - and now for the 3rd time in a row, whenever I find that little time to watch a football game, the time that I cheer for gets completely run over - looking forward to some away from the computer time this weekend.

Thanks jackoneill.If you really want to thank me though, please leave your thread (let me anonymous your posts instead of deleting) up. The only reason this site works is because people are willing to help each other out. Of course people get rewarded for what they share, especially on this site, but I think every member of FastTrack would agree that they got some incredible value for the cost during 2011. Value, that even at one month ahead of a release to premium members (and keep in mind, every premium member will not be reading these threads in and out, it's just available to them if they would like to), is still a very high value.Bottom line is that it's up to you guys if you want your threads to stay, I'd just ask that you'd consider my request fairly. I do remember after month 1 of fast track, I believe at least one user was upset that their thread was going to be read by future fast track members, and if they weren't talked down a bit the members in the later months may not have had the same type of resources to look at as they ended up having. Thanks either way.

Hey I just wanted to say thanks to Hokie, Mers, and all the players involved in the Fast Track program.  It was so helpful to me at a time when I was struggling to make any money in the U.S. post black Friday.  I went from being terrible to confident that I was a winning player in a short time.  It took a lot of work on my end but being able to pick the brains of such skillful players is what really did it.I'm more than happy to leave my thread open for future students/members to use.  I feel the program was heavily under priced for the value you could get out of it and it's the least that I can do to give back.
