: : coopnf if you had read my previous post, which you obviously did not, there are not 1,000 players. Bonzi can correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is if you are gold or platinum player you will NEVER be expunged. As I said in previous post I am willing to bet over 90% of that 1,000 are deceased. As I understand you were an op in RC that room is DEAD and part of that is most likely due to the rules you are trying to implement here. You came in here thinking about being an op and for whatever reason you are not so basically as a “newcomer” you want to make rules to suit yourself. The fact is it does not appear any of the ladder rooms are doing well

: There used to be a "Lifetime Gold" membership option that was sold. That kind of membership is no longer available for purchase (and hasn't been for many years) but Case's Ladder has honored the Lifetime Gold memberships that were sold. So, many of the players that are technically on the Ladder are in fact old, inactive Lifetime Gold members. Many of those, as SecondHandLo pointed out, could have even passed away.

: I'd guess that there are about 15 active players. As others have pointed out, that's just the nature of online cribbage. Cribbage players are aging, and the young people of today just are not interested in it. I don't know that I would say this Ladder is a "failure". In fact, I would guess that it's one of the more popular/active online cribbage groups around.

: All of that being said, I am open to rules changes if the group thinks it would be more fun another way, but I don't think there is a problem that could be solved by a rules change at this time. A couple people have suggested a new "program". I don't know of a different Cribbage website other than Gaming Safari that is any better, but if anyone has suggestions there, it may be worth checking out. Unfortunately we aren't able to just create a new program. As for the discussions about potential rules changes, so far I know of only two people who are interested in changes. I'll keep an eye out here for additional opinions, but so far it does not sound like there's much interest in rule changes.

I think i would like tosee the open table format or even private table like before
but like you said with 15 players at most 20 it wouldnt be effective
/As for like time gold being honored my wife bought it played under it for years and when the other ladder folded she wasnt given a coice to keep it she was very active and enjoyed the game but once they took that w=away she has never played again I just wondering how a former player that played here had a chance to make his own league and had it working foir a while > where and how did he get a program to use ? ty Will
