Gotta say congrats to b0se on the well deserved Gold! Although I disagree with the 2nd/3rd place positions, if I were voting I would've reversed the 2, but I'm not so congrats to all involved.

Hi. I'm a pathetic spammer.

My IP address is 80.58.50.42. I like to go around to websites spamming for poker places because I'm a pathetic loser.
