    The AdvantagePlayer.com Forum Archives

    TheAdvantagePlayer.com forums are no more. Or as we wrote to Norm nearly a fortnight ago:

    "We've decided to retire our forums ... or to be more accurate, the forums decided to retire a long time ago and now we're finally filing the paperwork and ordering the gold watch."

    As traffic withered and the forums died a slow death, there wasn't a strong business case for us to try to revive them. Although it pained us personally to see them fall into disrepair, we had to focus on new business opportunities. But of course, rust never sleeps. And in that time Norm has built and maintained a thriving community on modern software. We know how much work that is, and it's an amazing effort we want to support.

    So we're proud to announce that the AP.com forums have been archived here. Some 55,000 posts spanning over a decade, Don's Domain and the Open Forums were an integral part of blackjack history in the new millennium. Original research, epic flame wars, and thoughtful discussion – many by the biggest names in blackjack – can be found therein. We would be remiss if we did not thank Don for his incredible support in that endeavor, as well as Parker for helping moderate the forums through the years.

    So this isn't goodbye, just a note saying we're doing what we should have done some time ago. Oh, and BJA3 on Kindle is coming.

    Good Cards,

    V & B

    Many thanks to Viktor, Bettie and Don. You can find the forums just below the Misc Forums. There is a description at http://www.blackjacktheforum.com/sho...r-com-Archives.

    It goes without saying that, if the forums, in general at ap.com, and Don's Domain, in particular, could no longer continue, then it is wonderful to have the archives housed here on Norm's site.

    It has been my distinct pleasure to have hosted Don's Domain these many years, and I hope that readers will retain fond memories of the thousands of important posts that were displayed there and that now live on, thanks to Norm.

    Both the AP.com and Dom's Domain forums are wonderful additions and tremendous assets to have here. Not to mention, the very aspect of having Don S. and Viktor N. on the site as contributors is a huge leap forward and speak in it for themselves.

    These are fine testaments for what you've created Norm! Yet another step forward in what is an already extremely helpful tool and is well on its' way to becoming a central repository of data and wealth of information. Excellent work and thanks again to out new contributors for their immensely archives.

    Ha! I'm not totally computer illiterate -- just semi-illiterate. I whine a lot, but I actually know a little bit more than what I let on to!
