Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it.
The fact is that online operations are not a primary focus of FHG at this time, for several reasons; acquistion of APL and other brands, focus on levarging the network and building the grass roots player base, a return to the basics and poker as entertainment and of primary importance is growing numbers in venues.
We cannot broadcast the 888Poker partnership to the APL network, there is commercial considerations that need to be made and at the basic level the administration system of APL is not set up accordingly so we would be unable to assist player support issues.
In saying the above - I do agree with you all that the online aspect has grown stagnant and we do need a re vamp. With the removal of the DT scoreboard and promotion next Jan we will be looking to generate Main Event entries through a step process and the whole online focus will be to generate ME entries and possibly some major casino tournaments.
i reckon this is the perfect vehicle for online, as has been mentioned previously - live satellites are hard to organise and are hit and miss with numbers, but online satellites for lots of major events would be awesome.
to keep people grinding them, maybe you could have a leaderboard across all satellites where top 10 or whatever get to play in a tourney where first prize is a main event ticket.
