    Thumbs up How many of you remember this?

    I was reminiscing how far we have come. So many people ask me why I chose the name SWS* for my team name, so here is a brief background.

    Thank god for ely!


    Nynus and I launched the site online Nov 1st 2006 with the support of awesome mods, but I started on Pokerroom back in 2005. For those that don't know, the intention was to have the first online adult poker community and our name was Sex With Stars*. As we grew I realized I lost poker affiliates because they did not want to be associated with anything adult and adult affiliates wanted nothing to do with gaming. Personally, I thought it was a brilliant idea back in the day. All the forums were private because people were a lot more "explicit" in their posting.

    We've grown so much, some things I miss. People used to have to log in to see things, so our number of log ins were tremendous. Now we allow lurking without logging in, so that bums me out, but its the price we pay to get on google and continue our growth. Also, its taken years for us to become a real poker forum with a cool vibe and just the right amount of fun.

    Anyway, for your amusement and a bit of history, it makes me proud when I see these old web captures. Also very cool to see some of our original mods are still with us: Nicci, Susan, Michelle and Chan. Sadly, Sarah Hot_in_Red13 passed away. She inspired the Red Hot Girls groups on here for the ladies.

    Sometimes I look back and see the history and am so proud of this place.

    Oh my goodness and if I would have known then we would ever have a card room. We've come a long way baby!

    No... they definitely are more risqué than my original business plan.

    I wasn't privy to that far back, but I remember joining some forum in Pokah stirring things up, Jodie said she remembers when I went after her about some political subject I think. Once when I was going to join your group several peeps I was communicating with said y'all were a bunch of sex starved crazies...so I delayed.

    Then in another forum where we played once a week on FT, I asked CJ about y'all, of course I had only played poker a couple times then, and she said it might not be a good fit because the poker players were VERY GOOD!

    Well, I still suck at poker, but Patsi and I can't thank you enough Jen for all your singular focus on this site, we've made some good friends and met many...looking forward to meeting many more in the future!

    ^^^Its funny, so many of the same people we had back then, same vibe, same good people and fun times, just a lot more nakedness Amazing what a stigma a name gives you. The social lounge people had others convinced we were brain washing in SWS*. I had no idea you were from PR. You mean we could have started our awesome friendship even sooner? We still are listed as the number one social group on PR. It will be sad when PR is closed for good. We made history in a year. Talk about lots of drama!

    Check out the Top Poster and right next to her, the Most Visited Group. http://www.pokerroom.com/community/toplists/

    I sometimes go over there to grab some old thread ideas. We had some fun times.

    Awwww.... what a nice trip down memory lane.

    jen, I remember when we first met. I wandered over to SWS* on pokah when a "friend" (thread stealing whore) recommended the group. Remember all the drama when headcase and manda stole all of our threads?? OMG... that seems so ancient!!! My daughter Jordan was just a little baby back then.. and she's 7 now. CRAZY!!

    For old times sake.....














    The good ol' days!!
