Pro games have been removed from funkypool - unfortunately there simply was not the demand for the games.

I looked at various times recently and there was not a single person playing US Pro tables.

The advantages of removing the game is a significant 15% increase in game loading times, simpler to understand what's going on for new users and cleaner web pages (view player page for instance is simpler).

I'll add everyone's stats to the equivalent US games, maybe on Monday.

*Waves*

Could it be possible to only have the acheivements added (GB's, 7 Ballings etc)? I dont want my newbie status to vanish on the new games as i'm still actualy a newbie on them and it will give a false representation of my ability. This is probably true for quite a lot of users on the site.

I think either all stats should be copied or none.

Otherwise you will get stats like 14 wins, 8 losses, 24 tournament wins.

But having it say that i've won 300 games when i've played 20 is equally silly

Edit: Either that or have a hall of fame thing lol

I agree 100% that acheivements should be added...or at least get a mention on a profile.

thats not true. If you are good at the pro games then you find the other games easier.
