He Avataren,

I understand your frustration, especially since the traffic in the FL community is lower here. I can't solve this unequality now. I can only refer you to have a look at the German community where the open boards for FL are really very active. With enthusiastic guys like you, i am sure someone from the FL-area will also make it to the top,sooner or later!

IvicaIliev77: what exactly do you mean with nl25+? We have one NL area for all hands, plus a NL Gold board for users with gold-status+ who like to have seperated their disucssions from the beginner areas.

SvenBe - its just weird at the first leaderboard i have 7 and in the end i dont even have 10 even though the FL forums have been quite active lately. and we got some people who really put in an effort to actually make good posts incl myself so I dont understand why none of that counts. and I am not german nor do I speak German so going to the german FL boards is no option for me or most of us on the ENG side.

And dont you go say we will reach the top. you know just aswell as I do, that if we were to do that it would be through collab and not genuine questions and answers. (making hands up just so we could get more good posts in)

If a person wants to teach, he will have to be very well educated on the matter first and then he can try to spread his knowledge among the others.
I do not feel that way at poker, so I do not even think to try and teach.
As I improve my game and my understanding of the game, I will definitely want to share it with other, more inexperienced players. So far I am just giving my humble opinion and do not pretend to be always right.
If that helps others, I would be very happy.
:)

aaaand the middle-of-the-month-ranking is in!

Again nitrol in the lead, but there is a big battle for the 3rd place! I guess this month we will have to look closer at a combination of number of posts & quality of the discussion.

CU guys at the beginning of June, keep going!
