Well I guess I am active enough on this site to still get the passwords under the new rules, how about you ?
How do you know if you are an "Active Railbird" or not ? If you got the passwords today, then you are considered active enough to keep getting the passwords, Congratulations !
If you didn't get one today, you need to step it up a little bit. You may be real close, or not, nobody knows, we all find out together about these things, when a situation changes, such as color changes or password reception qualifications met !
It is all tracked by a computer we don't have access to, so the Moderators don't know where you are at either !
Here is the official statement we sent in response to hundreds of PM's we have already gotten :
All active members will receive passwords as expected. The level of activity has been raised slightly to allow only those who are active regularly to receive daily passwords. It was far too easy under our previous system for anyone to receive passwords without having to be active on site at all, thereby causing a problem with password sharing. To remain active, simply post some blog entries, make friends, upload content - it will all count towards your getting passwords.
Now, here are my "Unofficial" comments :
If you didn't get the password, and you still want to play Railbirds game, then we want you to find time to increase your activity on the site some. Nobody wants to lose anyone who wants to be here ! May I suggest some things to do, that will get you points toward passwords :
# 1 By all means browse thru A55A55IN'S Guide, and find some good blogs there to help you in any area your game might be weak in !

# 2 Dress up your page, personalize it so visitors can get to know you ! Uploading pictures into your gallery counts also ! Here is a link to an index of blogs showing you how to do your page, and much more !

# 3 Read and comment on blogs for a few minutes, a couple of times a day, a few times a week, it is a good way to meet people to add to your Friends List, and that awards activity points !
# 4 Write on an few of your friends boards located at the bottom of their home page, this sets off that annoying flashing light Tech can't seem to isolate !...lol... Some of this can be fun !
# 5 Here is the most overlooked way to score EASY Points, and can be done while you are playing poker !
..................START USING THE CHAT ROOMS, WITH YOUR FRIENDS !................
Very few members use these rooms at present, and they are an excellent way to have fun while playing with friends, or waiting for a game to start ! You can rail each other in a chat room, and shut off the B/S chat on the poker sites spewing out of the mouths of the inconsiderate ones !
We have 4 available rooms right now, and one is for Freeroll Chat, one for Poker Talk Only, and one is an open chat room where anything in reason is allowed. ... Be aware, we do monitor these rooms Invisible to the users, and we will kick abusers out of rooms ! There is one room that is there for moderators use also !
There are a lot of possibilities that could be put to use earning password points in the chat rooms, give it a whirl, PM a friend or two, or more, and ask them to join you in chat for a while ! ..... Let's all concentrate on using these rooms, getting those passwords, and playing some Railbird Poker ! .......Whining just won't get you a password !...lol....Earn it.....They are worth the effort !
......Play on...Tc.....

As usual, a blog which was well thought out, and is very useful to the newbies (noobs). A copy of this should be in everyones PM box when they next log in.

Sure hear a bunch about these rules being changed...
I don't ever recall seeing any rules posted...
What are these rules...?
What are these changes...?
Is it still ok to play freerolls nekid...?
I bet the rules are rigged... just like FTP and PS...
I bet the changes are rigged too...

I don't have the time to be here for twenty minutes a week qualifying, but I can spend 35 hours a week playing the freerolls when I make the final table every tournament or 16 hours a week when I cash in all of the tournaments just ahead of the bubble.
Will spending more than twenty minutes a week on Railbirds help me to reach my goal of playing 35 hours a week in freerolls?
You know what? I believe it will help make me a better player.
Besides that I get to meet a lot of people that love this game as much as I do.
But I have to admit that the new system our Pros have come up with seems to be INCREDIBLY! FAIR, and great way to reward the REAL RAILBIRDS as much as possible.
I have been sick for 8-10 days and wasnt as active as I try to be, but I still got all of the passwords, so it's NOT unreasonable as far as I can tell.
I am feeling better and will be catching up as much as possible.
If and when I ever fall below the required level of activity I will simply take not getting a password or 2 as a friendly reminder to be a little more active.
Thanks to all the pros who worked to find us a way to try and better serve our loyal active membership.

When I first joined RailBirds I would go to the chat rooms but it was so wierd, It was like a secert code or just playing games. No one would responde to me so I stopped going, Bu tour clan goes there every once in a whil enow and there is really never any body in there
So get busy . I get the passwords and rarely do I want to play in the freerolls
How long does it take you to formulate and write your blogs, TopCat? Great information here for those who didn't get the password for todays FR and written in a pleasant manner.
Top post.
