Players can review the playlist or do a search to find the song of their choice. You can request songs, and even fill in a dedication box to send out with songs to your friends and loved ones! Silver-song.com will also soon be adding their very own part time DJ's! So, if you find yourself tuned into one of our DJ's shows, then they will be sure to read all dedications you send out, over the air! Players will even be able to view all our DJ's schedules, along with being able to add our DJ's to your messengers! Players can then request and dedicate songs that way too. We hope you enjoy GoldToken's new SilverSong radio adventure!
In further news, this February is not only special due to Valentine's Day, but it is an extra special month this year to a well known family around GoldToken. They will be celebrating after being reunited again from a very long time apart. Freight Train will finally be returning home from Iraq sometime this month to his wife Kran and their children! GoldToken Support and the entire GoldToken Staff, would like to personally welcome Freight Train back home from his extremely long tour away! During this time, Kran will be taking a leave of absence from working on GoldToken to be with her husband and family, so please be sure to send any site related messages directly to GoldToken Support and not to Kran.
A very big
goes out to the troops and their families, for everything they go through for us, and also to Kran, for all her hard work and complete dedication to GoldToken. She has been an extraordinary asset to our company and has spent thousands of hours helping out in every area of the site. GoldToken.com would not be what it is right now without her! Thank you for everything Kran, you will be greatly missed by all of us.

| Monthly Message from Badger |
January was a whirlwind of fun with the release of several Dot variations exclusive to GoldToken thanks to the creative talent of Mecir and firefly: GoldFences, 123 Dots and a change to RandomDots that changed the placement or 6 fences to 50. And thanks to Chad & firefly we have a new colorful game invite page at: http://www.goldtoken.com/games/newgame But hold onto your seats…February look’s even more exciting! Stay tuned for more fun than you can shake a dice at!
GoldToken Olympics will be starting late this month, and we still have a few clubs seeking players. If you have time and would love to play in GoldToken’s most popular tournaments, please contact one of these Olympic Presidents:

The first release of February’s fun, is GoldToken’s own radio station at http://silver-song.com/.
But we need still DJ’s. 
Are you interested?Qualifications:
- A fun personality and love of music.
- Ability to speak clearly so listeners can understand you.
- Somewhat computer savey...this is a difficult program to run.
- 500 or more MP3 music files or ability to get them on your computer.
- A speedy internet connection. Dial up and WebTV sadly will not be able to broadcast. Static IP is a plus!
- A clear understanding of GoldTokens DB rules, Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy...if you have had a problem with site rules in the past, you may not qualify.
- At least two hours you can devote to DJ'ing each week on a set schedual.
- Ability to commit to four months or more at a time.
- This programming is expensive, and we do not have funds to waste on someone who stops after two weeks.
Please send your application into GoldToken Support along with your phone number and the best time for me (Badger) to call. Message us if you are in doubt too. You may or may not qualify, but won't know unless you ask.

Happy-2nd-Birthday to { Club }!!!
A Fun Club For All opened on Jan 29, 2005
Nan54 and I were just talking when I said, "Hey, let's make our own club from scratch"! She said, "You've got to be kidding. You've got so much going on now!" I remember telling her that we wouldn't get that many players and that she and I could handle one more club. Well, we're only 7 players away from being filled up to 150 membership.
If you'd like an invite to join please contact Nancy or Nan54!
This club is for players who want to have fun playing only internal games. We will have lots of games, fun and everyone is welcome!
THANKS

| Testimonials Of The Month |
Well what can I say that has not been said before. With my 5 years + as a player here I think I belong to the old timers. Things have changed a lot since I started and generally it has been for the better. Like all sites it has its ups and downs, but hey so do I. Graphics was very different when I started here, and I was really not impressed, but it improved pretty soon. We have got quite a few games added in my time here, among those the most played game on the site backgammon. We have got new discussion boards, we got clubs, we got memberships with different levels, all for the better. There are two things that has not changed though, the friendliness of the players and the feeling of being a big family here. For that I have to thank not only former and present staff of goldtoken, but all the players here, you are all part of it. Most of you I have not met face to face and most likely I never will, but as it is known from discussion boards I made a trip across the USA this summer and met 25-30 players, it was the greatest experience of my life.
Thank you GoldToken, I am looking forward to many years of playing here.
John aka superkaempe the gentle giant
