« New Blog System - New Motivation? | Main | 10 is not enough»
First, I want to thank 
ZarvonBar and Indy1701 for being so quick in giving me my first tasks for the confidential blog. The questions are large-scale, but maybe this is good for a beginning.
They asked me to talk about coming features for the website of PokerStrategy, especially about community features like individualised avatars and private messages.
And indeed, we have some iron in our fire. Last year we began to notice that our demand for new features for our community was much larger than our capabilities to develop, implement, introduce, and care for them. This is because PokerStrategy grows much faster than we can find new skilled web developers and web designers. (So if you know one, please let me know!)
So we began searching for partners with whom we could realize some more advanced stuff so that the web technology could keep pace with our community and the demand of our great users.
Now, some months later, we found the people we were looking for and already started working with them. This year, we plan two releases of a major new feature for PokerStrategy. While I am not allowed to tell you too much about it, some things can be leaked:
1. Private Messaging will return
2. More individualised user profiles will be possible
3.
The board software will be completely renewed
4.
Both releases are scheduled for this year
Especially since the releases will be some months apart from each other, we hope that we can present you release one nearer to now than christmas ;)
Besides that, we also concentrate to strengthen the most important thing: what we do for you around poker. Let me share two ambituous goals with you:
- * Elephant shall be the best software of its kind
- * Our No-Limit content shall be as good as our Fixed Limit content
- * Our videos shall be competing with the best videos around
We know that all these things will be hard work, but we also know that we have you: our great community. There is no community in the whole world that is comparable to PokerStrategy in terms of quality, quantity and user involvment at the same time. We know that we can make it and we also know that a lot of you will always help us in doing so.
Just like our current Fixed Limit grandmasters are the children of Korn, in the future with our increasing experience and your increasing skills, we will be able to make a great leap forward in terms of quality in all areas.
If I missed some points, you got more detailed questions or want me to write about completely different things - just let me know in the comments. Thank you! :)
