PokerDonors.com

if u want people to donate money to ur site, u need to be more clear right on the front page why and what their doing.
and u need some sort of theme/images or something, i mean i could make this site with html from my head + notpad + /w a blindfold...
but good idea, and good luck

i entered doomer's email for the daily reminders

seriously though this is a realllllllllllllly great thing you're doing cory and i will donate soon

If everyone on LP ended up donating a buy-in (or half a buyin for higher stakes players) then we could end up sponsoring 100 children. That's a good deal all around

AWESOME

can you get another stars account for donation purposes? it's pretty jank to have to donate to "KingKory" on stars. so you're not playing any poker while this thing goes on? weird...seems like they need not be mutually exclusive

prolly not necessary to post PT stats on the site...

other than that, it's cool as hell. GREAT WORK MAN!

PS: you should include detailed instructions on how to donate. i know it's simple, but it'd be more user-friendly if you just stated

TO DONATE: transfer funds to KingKory (Awesome City) on Stars, etc. etc.

ALSO: i have done a little html/css stuff, i might be able to help with programming/creative stuff

Thanks Loco

I definitely agree that the site could use some help graphically. But that's secondary to getting the functionality down for now.

Ha! That'd be nice for sure

But I don't really expect that from anyone...I mean, if we can just toss a few BB's in every now and again, that'd be cool too. I would expect the average donation to be $2-3, which is way more than the average Joe is giving.

The way I figure, 2 kids have already prospered from this project, and all it's cost me was a bit of time, so anything that comes out of it going forward is all extra.

From FAQ Section Hello, my name is Cory, or "KingKory" on PokerStars. For the duration of this endeavor, I will not be playing poker under any of the usernames listed on the 'News' page. I tried to get my "KingKory" alias changed to "PokerDonors", but apparently that's against PokerStars code. If you submit proof of any of the usernames on the 'News' page involved in a real money poker hand (while this site exists), I will ship you $100 out of my own pocket.

I sent emails back-and-forth to Stars.

I guess once you create a username on Stars, you agree to NEVER change your username EVER EVER AGAIN.

I probably could have covertly changed my name, but I didn't want to risk it down the line.

As far as playing during the project: It just seems wrong to me to play on the same account that has a bunch of donated cash. I figure I'll be busy most of the time in the next couple weeks working out some twinks anyway.

** Thanks twotimesopt! $35, very generous

- PT Stats: You think? I thought it'd be good to know that the person managing the donations was also a somewhat-serious player as well...and not a completely busto one at that.

- Help: I just may have to hit you up on that CSS stuff

i hope this donates money to bad players who went busto or something to keep them playing online j/k

dude, great idea. i'll definately be donating / let me know if you need any help with the site.
