We're still here - we're just trying to pull a lot of stuff together, so we apologize for the lack of recent updates. For those of you that have been actively following the forum posts, however, you pretty much know what is going on. I'll take a few minutes to touch on a few of the major questions and other issues that keep coming up.
(1) Regarding The WSOBP™ III, we're still working on pulling all of the pieces together. We believe we are getting close. We apologize for the delay, but if we are able to pull off what we’ve been working on, it’ll be well worth the wait. As soon as we<--more--> can safely say anything it will be posted on BPONG.COM. For those that must know something, don't buy any plane tickets yet, but start thinking about skipping work the first week of the new year (as usual).
(2) Satellite Tournaments: we continue to get a lot of interest from bars wanting to run WSOBP™ satellite events and from people looking for such events. We're anxious to get these up and running, but first, we need to get the main event set. As soon as we have everything set for the main event, we'll be able to start taking requests from people wanting to run satellites.
(3) BPONG.COM Updates: We're working on releasing an entire new backend for the site. From all appearances, you won't be able to tell much of a difference, but with the new foundation, we'll have the groundwork done to put lots of new features in place relatively quickly. We're really excited that some of our visions since 2001 are finally on the verge of becoming a reality. At the same time, changing over the entire code base means we may have to take the site down for periods of time to copy over new code, convert all data, and test things out. We hope to not be down for periods longer than a couple hours, but if the site is down for any period of time, don't worry - we will be back.
There are probably a lot of other things we could address, but here are a few more quick thoughts. We are currently trying to sell off all of our WSOBP Dirty Tees so we can make room in our warehouse for some new designs. Therefore, we are selling these at greatly reduced prices. Once they are gone, we will not be printing any more in the foreseeable future. On a similar note, we also have some WSOBP™ II event shirts left over. We are also selling these off at the BPONG store, so if you're interested, don't delay because they may sell out.
That's it for now. There's a lot more to say, but we've go to pull The WSOBP™ III together first. Then we can take a few minutes to elaborate on some other things in the works.
