    I want to take moment to thank everyone here and at Bodog for working with me over the past year to resolve player issues, implement software changes, and help create a more enjoyable poker experience for Bodog players.

    Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I am happy with all we were able to accomplish during my time as Liaison. I will continue to be active in this community, and respond to Bodog related threads, though I will no longer be doing so in an official capacity. As of today, I have been relieved of my duties as Bodog Liaison to P5's. While I was unhappy with the news, I certainly don't harbor any resentment towards Bodog for their decision.

    Mods, please remove my under-title.

    Does this mean that Bodog is also concerned about what's going on with the sites now? Should players at bodog be concerned? Thanks in advance

    The elimination of the liaison position is in no way connected with the recent indictments, though I can see why the timing might make it seem that way.

    I see no reason for bodog players to be concerned above the normal baseline level. (playing online has always had associated risks)

    You're welcome, I enjoyed serving the community.

    IMO the P5s community lost more than Bodog did, but a loss for both parties at any rate.

    Closer to losing a flip when compared to the bad beat we all took on Friday.

    Sorry to hear Nate, you did alot of good things. Does anyone know if bodog plans to have someone here though in the near future? I mean i can't see why they wouldn't want someone here but you never know.

    hopefully they make a smart decision to get some kind of liason/representative to connect the players to the site..

    best of luck nate, thanks for all you did.

    Having had extensive experience with them both as a player and as liaison, I can probably offer you some good advice if you have any problems. Don't be afraid to ask.

    Having a Bodog liaison/rep here in the future is a possibility. If that happens, hopefully I can be the first to let you know.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    He didn't. And I was planning on helping him celebrate his birthday this year too. But I won't be doing that now either. :(

    Am I the only who thinks this is garbage? Why would they get rid of a liaison? Were you a burden to them? Having you was a positive to all the p5ers. I'm curious as to what the reason was for letting you go. Would you mind explaining nate?

    I never played on bodog except for way back in the day but I very much appreciate your service to the community. Having a site rep on the forum is an incredibly valuable thing to the players of that site. Thanks!

    I guess Bodog is done pretending to care about what the Players want. They only care about the sheep. That has been the reocurring theme. Now Nate has been lumped in with the rest of us.

    They dont need nate because they know they are next. Is that what we are all saying here?? I see that the Govt has agreed to allow ppl to get to their bankrolls on tilt and pokerstars. I guess this implies that they are not comming after players. I mean I am less worried about past deposits and withdrawls now. Does any1 else agree with this?
