GoldToken's Monthly News |
Our year may be winding down, but the upcoming site improvements have not. I am so excited! We have a number of surprises ready to be released in the very near future that will make GoldToken stand out above other turn based sites even more. Just a few more weeks, so stay tuned! For those who would love a sneak peak, we will make an early test release on GoldToken's beta site http://beta.goldtoken.com/.
We are still in the process of upgrading to our new servers, and have a few bumps and scrapes to make things fully functional. Things have been slow, with some wikis and info pages crawling, but this should be short lived as Chad finishes up the server tweaks. I thank everyone for their support and patience!
Due to the new server expenses, I have obtained outside employment and will not be online as much as in the past. Please do your part by adopting guests and renewing. Every little bit helps! If you need help or site support, your best bet is to contact GoldToken Support where our many site volunteers are available to assist you.
The World Pente Federation has officially named GoldToken their official playing site. If you are a Pente or Go Moku players, feel free to join the team at { Club }. World Pente Federation membership is free to all GoldToken players!
Happy gaming!

Special Thanks |
I'd like to send a special thank you, to firefly and porkpie1.
I recently won one of firefly's big salvo tournaments and to my surprise firefly contacted me to say that porkpie1 had donated a prize of a music CD! Within a couple of days of contacting porkpie1, my Buddy Holly CD arrived in the post together with an extra gift of a gold plated book mark! Neither firefly nor porkpie1 needed to go to this trouble. I'm sure like all players, we play the games for fun, so to win a prize is a nice bonus. Thanks to firefly and to porkpie1 and to all tournament organizers who help to make this the best game playing site on the web!

Club News & Announcements |

This club is for all the American Idol fans.
American Idol will be starting in January.
We will be having contests - when it gets down to the final 12, members will be able to submit who they think will win and be voted off. We will keep a weekly running score and the winner will win a 6 month silver membership that will be purchased by the club owner.
If you already have a gold/platinum membership, I am sure Badger has a way of determining how many months the 6 month silver membership would be applied to your current level.
Everyone participating in the contest will have to get their idol picks in before the week that the top 10 begins.
More to come when American Idol starts. In the meantime, we can have some internal club challenges. If you belong to another club, no worry, we will not be having any challenges between other clubs unless a majority of you want to.
When you join the club, you will be automatically entered into the American Idol challenge. It will be up to you to make your picks at the appropriate time. Reminders will be sent out the week your contestant order will need to be selected.
So please, come check us out if you are an American Idol Fan!! { Club }
