Monthly News by Badger |
Welcome GOAMA! Along with the introduction of GoldTokens latest game, Go, GOAMA has named GoldToken their offical game site! This comes a marvelous news in the gaming world and will bring more Go fun to GoldToken. If you are a member of GOAMA, please write to GoldToken Support to get on the list for your special name icon.
I wish to extend a warm welcome to our GameDriven friends who have congregated here. Huge thanks go to TexasToest who spent many hours putting together the The Castaways Club to help GameDriven members settle in and enjoy the fun here. Be sure to contact her if you are part of this group.
A funny checker tale arrived by El Lobo Loco who ventured back to Las Vegas this September. He says he rarely runs into people he knows in his hometown, but traveled several hundred miles to hear his name being called by Lubabalo Kondalo, a friend from Africa he originally met at the American Checker Federations GAYP this last July. Lobo had no idea the World Qualifying Checker Tournament was being held that week and was taken quite by surprize! Likely the reason his name icon fits him so well! Special Congrats go to both GoldToken players Jan Mortimer and Lubabalo Kondalo for winning this tournament! Contact me for a little bonus to your memberships! We love seeing you win!

What Is A Blog? |
A blog is a 'not so private' webpage written much like a journal.
Many blogs serve as personal online diaries or provide commentary, news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news. Blogs can use text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Blogs are greatly enhanced and made far more interesting to read by these things. The possibilites are endless.
Our Platinum players have some blog decisions to make. Are you going to try your hand at blogging? What kind of blog would you want your blog to be? What do you want to write about? Are you going to write about many things or something specific? How often you are going to write? Every day, once a week, once a month?
Write about what you are passionate about, write about what you know and make sure you know what you are writing about. For the more serious bloggers, you won't be taken very seriously if your blog is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. So make sure you spellcheck.
No matter your blog content, people will continue to come back to read it as long as you continue to make it interesting.
A special prize will be awarded to the managers favorite blogger of the month, each month from this point on. This months topic will be Why blog? So what are you waiting for? Get blogging!

Testimonials Of The Month |
I have never seen and been involved with a website like GoldToken. Everyone is so friendly and there is a family atmosphere that is unrivaled by other sites and groups.
laura lee is the dear friend that got me (hooked). She has walked me through anything I had trouble with. I am legally blind and need
the extra help.
dingbat has become a dear friend. Badger has given me a lot of help. Cayey is an inspiration. I am just getting to know so many others like DINGEROO who are all very special to me.
I received a lovely get well card and sweet little gifts when I had my eye surgery and was completely surprised by the warm wishes and prayers by so many people.
I've only been a member since Feb 2007 and because of the kindness of so many, I feel like I have been a member for years.
I look forward to long lasting friendships, good conversations and many great games.
Thank you Staff and fellow members for making me feel at home! I am recommending GoldToken to all my friends where I live. clare who is one of them joined about a month ago. Welcome clare!
