Update on Greg Powell

[Brandon]

Effective immediately, he has left Cardspike. He has been invited to PAL to come and post more on the topic, I will leave the rest of the words on this topic to come from his mouth.

Very interesting, looking forward to seeing what went down from his point of view....

[MJ]

Let me be immediate to say I hope his hands and mouth were tied this whole time and Greg is the guy everyone here describes him as.

Gl Greg - I "hope" this was in part an ethics decision for you.

[Ridge]

As I said before, I think his hands were tied and have no issues with him..

Well hello everyone. Nice to see you all again and talk shop like usual. Before we get to all that I wanted to give a quick update/synopsis on whats new with me and then move on to marketing discussions (for a nice change).

I am no longer working with CardSpike. There will be someone new stepping into that role, most likely multiple people, and business I'm sure will continue. There were several factors that lead to me leaving. Those are private matters and not for message boards.

I wanted to say a BIG thank you to the members here who worked with me; and for the time and effort you put into promoting the new room. I also wanted to give one last sincere apology to anyone who did not receive my 100% attention while there. Like I said before there were a number of issues happening and some elements were simply out of my control. Being fair I admit there were things I could have done differently, possibly better or into another direction, and effected the outcome of my tenure. Hindsight is always 20/20 so there isn't much use in debating it now. Honestly it might not have been the best fit but I learned a hell of a lot in the process. In the future I really, really want to see CardSpike grow into its full potential. There really are some quality people behind the project and they deserve to be successful.

I'd like to say thanks for the invitation here and I will do my best to add some value to the discussions and threads. Also thank you for all the kind emails, calls and PM's I have received the past few days. They are all very much appreciated!
