I can't log on either. WTF! Seriously? On a Saturday night? Does anyone know if this is happening at other Merge skins or is this just a stupid Carbon thing?

Its network wide.

I hope that bodes well for it not being a shutdown, but maybe just a tech/update issue....

Uug. Guess I feel snake bitten.

Any thoughts on the article's phrasing about not taking "new players" from those states. I already have a Carbon account and live in MD. Any clues as to what that means for future play?

(Or is it silly to even ask about predictions for the future of US players and online poker?)

Well Carbon never replied to me about their check that bounced,,, but yesterday I got a new check via FedEx ......Drawn on a Canada bank like the other one,,,but different third party poker payee,,,, Will let ya'll know how this one turns out,,,of course still lost the money my bank charged for returned check,,but oh well, price of playing online I guess. Take care

Have we been abondoned?

^^^ IDK but support went from excellent to shit in a little over a month though. Seems like with all these new players they could afford some more help but......

On a brighter note, for those of us who played in the OFC Carbon Freeroll on May 21st there is this: $125 Freeroll won in GGE Carbon Event 1 - Sun June 26 (http://www.cardschat.com/f43/125-freeroll-won-gge-carbon-event-198024/)

CardsChat took first place in points of all the forums that entered so we won this tourney! If you played, be sure to check out the link so you can sign up.

Vote to rename something along the lines of "Official Carbon Customer Support FAIL Thread"

Guess we are the poor cousins - Carbon Chris posting regularly at that OTHER forum.

Yeah, I took a look over there. They are keeping him pretty much constantly busy and they are larger so they are going to get more attention I guess.

One thing I saw for those not wanting to wade into that mess is that cashouts for US players are expected to take 6 weeks currently by check. Just so ya know. That figure was from CarbonChris.
