November 2007
November is here and Halloween is finally over! It seems as though some of the Ghosts and ghouls found its way into GoldToken's database and had a bit of a party when we weren't looking! While we experienced very slow page loads, wiki edits and some other issues on the site, we are happy to say that things should be running at good speed fairly soon again. Chad has been working diligently at fixing all problems relating to this and hopes to have success as soon as possible with it! This month, my Management staff and I are very pleased to welcome our newest players joining from the New Zealand Draughts Association! We hope everyone enjoys what our site has to offer and its amazing group of GoldToken family members! Be sure to send them a hearty welcome! The New Zealand Draughts Association was the first to enjoy GoldToken's new Federation Club feature with the { Club } followed by the American Checker Federation's The ACF Club. If you are a member or are interested in joining either of these game federations, please contact them for more information. 4 Million Served! GoldToken's 4,000,000th game was started this last October with MamaBear the winner of the [ Guess the Date ] contest.  MamaBear! Have you seen the 5 new Platinum Goldies and 22 Twinklies firefly created yet? :zCyan: Check them out on the [ Info ] page { Info: platinum goldies }.-- Badger In this month's newsletter, we have:

GoldToken would also like to take the time to send a big congratulations out to all our recent tournament winners!!! Thank you for participating in our site tournaments!
For those of us GoldToken players who host a weblog or 'blog' in our beyond-gaming life, November is the National Blog Post Month. It is a take on the November National Novel Writing Month, except it's for people (sometimes known as posties or more commonly known as bloggers) who use weblogs to channel their writings, share stories and photos, participate in memes or use our blogs as soapboxes to the world. There is a website for bloggers who want to participate. It's not too late to join! The month is young! All you have to do is post to your blog at least once per day-every day for the month of November. That's it! Most bloggers do that anyway! For those who participate, you can win prizes as an incentive to keep going and meet the challenge each day. I can appreciate the work going into being a faithful participant so I've decided to offer my own prize to a random participant of the challenge. I choose a 6 month Wood Level Membership to GoldToken! You can join in the fun and accept the challenge as a blogger, or find a friend's blog to visit regularly (<wink> like mine called BeccA's Buzz! <wink>) and offer up comments on their posts and show your support! For more information, you can visit my November's NaBloPoMo maiden voyage post at http://beccagirlblogspot.blogspot.com/2007/11/nablopomo-starts-today.html. So please stop by and let me know you've joined or just say hi! I appreciate the support and would be happy to stop by your blog and offer encouragement to you as well!" Beccagirl Editors note: GoldToken offers personal blogging as one of the many benefits of a platinum membership. You can find this feature in the Options box on your game sheet.
You know, 20 years ago the internet was something I was sure would be for the next generation...not for me! Well, I was wrong, just like a lot of other men and women my age. The internet has changed all of our lives. We have all met people we never even thought we would ever meet but, if you ever want to meet a great bunch of people, you have to be right here at GoldToken. I've been playing here for over 6 years now thanks to my old friend Roy, nisqually who knew I loved playing games and he said GoldToken was the place to go. He was right. I've had the great privilege of making a lot of great friends in GoldToken and people like Chad and Badger have made it possible for all of us. So many great games to play and great friends to play with; it's all here in GoldToken!! You can find me here everyday, 7 days a week, unless I have internet problems and we've all had that...lol.  GoldToken for being there for all of us!From A Dedicated GoldToken Member, - MsDot I have been playing at GoldToken since 12/01. I was told about this site by Cinnamon so I figured I would try it out. I liked it so I told my baby sis DiGaWiD about it and we both became paying members. I have enjoyed all of the games, but what has really impressed me was the way everyone sent out their prayers for our Mom when she was sick and even sent us a wonderful card that everyone signed. Also all the prayers for DiGaWiD and her new baby when they were most needed. It's really great to know that you have friends even though you have never met in person, they are our on line friends. This is a really good site for kids also, of all the sites on line this is one of few that I would trust my young niece to play at as she grows up. I just want to say thanks everyone and hope to see you all on line. - Dollar Store Queen
