I am sorry to hear that too, more4me, but it’s not Bryan’s thing to deal with affiliates, although he has been known to help. His site is made for players primarily, and he considers himself a webmaster rather than an affiliate and has a small webmaster section targeting tech aspects of webmastering. He is usually swamped with player requests for assistance.
I too hold Bryan in high regard and consider his awards an expression of player opinion above all.
It’s also good to hear that your affiliate manager did take care of you, that you got too see your mom alone earlier and were able to be there at her passing. I, too, went through this not too long ago and I do understand how important these things are. I will never be able to forget one single moment of this time with her and am sure you feel the same.
Back to the slots – the tournaments are ever increasing in popularity.
