A lot could be said about GPWA. In fact, a lot HAS been said about it… go search the threads at Bet2Gamble and WinnerOnline and you will find enough information to fill a phone book. The Professors boards don’t do much GPWA discussion that I’ve seen… which I feel is a good thing.
Suffice it to say that many people on here — myself included — are FORMER members… as are Professor, Captain, DVS, and Dom… even good ol’ Casinomeister was a member about a year ago.
I know many more members here were in GPWA at one time (like BB1) but I cannot say if they are still members or not.
I left for my own reasons, and every former member has a “story”… some more entertaining and dramatic than others. :p
I like Cynthia Carley (GPWA President, former President, Acting President, then just President… again) as a person, but don’t always agree with her business practices. And there are still many many fine webmasters there that I consider friends. It just was not where I needed to be anymore.
Well said J. Todd….
There is plenty of info available about this subject at various message boards. Due dilligence is the order of the day when deciding where to concentrate your efforts.
Thanks guys.
Man, I love this forum!
I’ll remain diligent.
I have felt the urge in the past to expose what is going on at GPWA, in order to clear my own name. I wrote a couple of soap operas about it at bet2gamble. You can go to the webmaster section there and go back a page or so and look for the first post about it – “the truth about expulsions at the GPWA ” or some such title. It is the first half of the soap, the rest continues throughout that forum.
I think most people have long since realized what goes on and I have stopped writing about it. The alexa rating of GPWA speaks volumes – the spikes are internal fights.
I am holding my peace on the subject these days. It’s not important anymore. No point in beating a dead horse.
I had read a few things about GPWA on the casinomeister forum. But, it’s a grain of salt when you see people complain on a forum – the tell-tale thing for me were the private links on the homepage.
I really appreciate the feedback. It’s good to know that prominent CAP members aren’t GPWA boot lickers.
I really thank my lucky stars I found this forum.
The reason I posted this in the first place was the comment made I really thank my lucky stars I found this forum was the comment make on another thread by the Money Mechanic Rep about checking things out with GPWA members . I thought “WTF?” about that, since I didn’t feel it is really a legit association. I can understand, however, that the Reps need to treat it with respect, since it represents quite a lot of webmasters.

Hmm, looking around myself, it sure looks that by now almost every single profitable webmaster is here and not there.
The attendance there is minute and the data base is outdated by now – the active posters are all here.
I think the programs remaining there are shouting into an empty room…..
Dom, doesn’t sound like you are holding your peace on the GPWA.
I am a member there and I am profitable. Unless you are in the room, how do you know for sure that it is empty.
Those who know me will realise this is my first post on the ‘GPWA situation’ and will probably be my last, but some of the comments were getting personal to the members and not just the leadership.
I think this question has been answered.
Everyone is welcome to belong to whatever they choose. I understand it’s a sore subject for many so lets leave it at that and move on.
Unfortunately whenever this topic seems to come up at other message boards it quickly spirals down into a mud slinging match. We dont need to replicate that here.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to start anything.
I read the threads, Dom, and it was enlightening.
If anyone’s keeping books, I’d say the odds are pretty darn good that the real problem is that a certain person associated with the GPWA has a personality disorder. (seriously)
Three guesses who, and the first two don’t count.
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Hi,
I’d still be a member there but she wanted me (and some others; perhaps all) to sign and fax-back an agreement on not talking about what goes on inside there.
well that leaves a lot of room for misunderstanding and leaves the signed person; in a position where they could be more easily sued over something that they might have said while having no ill-intent involved.
We all talk amongst each other; and for me; I feared that the day would come when I said something that was “exclusive” during the heat of an arguement; and end up getting sued over the whole deal.
I like Cindy and have very high respect for many of the webmasters there.
(except Jarvi) :bigsmile: (onery aren’t I?)
* He knows I’m kidding.
to be honest; I wish those few that haven’t made it over here; would do so; I miss them.
same story as bb1webs for me. I don’t have any problems with anybody, but I’m no longer a ‘member’ there, since I didn’t sign this NDA.
Being an affiliate manager I wasn’t allowed on a lot of the interesting boards and felt a bit excluded from the community.
To be fair to them, Wild Bill approved our affiliate program and said nice things about us.
But on a like for like basis, I have personaly found the CAP forum to be a lot more responsive and friendly. Not meant to be a dig at GPWA more like an observation.
If GPWA want to be popular again, I would recommend them taking a leaf out of CAP’s book and opening the doors to the locked forums.

No offense meant, Jarvi. :bigsmile: I apologize for my sweeping statement. I was looking at a very impressive list of CAP members. In no way did I mean to make a statement that all encompassing.
I never had a problem with GPWA nor do I now. I have a problem with only one person, and even that has become quite irrelevant.
I agree, one has to be in the room to know it is empty. That room is pretty empty most all the time. Although flames still draw members.
In any case, it’s all water under the bridge. The important thing is that we as professionals find the information and support we need, wherever that may be. And surely that is the case – of all types of affiliates, the ones in the gaming industry are the most interconnected and the most informed. The spirit of sharing and of community has survived through all sorts of upheavals – and that speaks well for all of us.
Nobody spotted the flaw in my logic which is good.
If you are in an empty room, how can it be empty?
lmao
